THE ASSAULT ON THE CIVIL
SERVICE.

The platform adopted by the DEM
ocratic party in 1896 contained the fol-
lowing plank: I'VE are opposed to life
tenure in the public service. We favor
appointments based upon merit, fixed
terms of office, and such an administra-
ton of the civil service laws as will af-
ford equal opportunities to all citizens
Of ascertained fitness"
In the campaign which followed,
great hue and cry was raised by the
Republicans over this plank, the claim
being made that it was the desire OF
the Democrats to abolish civil service
reform and return to the spells system.
As result, Bryan no doubt lost many
votes.
What farce! No sooner does Con-
gress meet than an open assault Is COM
menced upon the civil service law, not
by Democrats, Oh no, but by Repnb-
leans, with Gen. Grosyenor of Ohio
McKinley's State-at their head. Con-
trary to their pledges, to their platform
and the expressed policy of the Admin
istration, they are advocating-not the
reforms for which the Chicago platform
opening declared but the repeal OF the
law and return to the old spoils sys-
tom.
There is no question that the pres
emit law will stand revising. In the light
of experience many mistakes have be-
come evident and should be corrected.
In many cases the examinations are
trivial, or embrace large amount of
matter that is entirely immaterial to
the position to be filed, and in many
cases, those who pass the examinations
are found to be wholly incompetent to
fulfill the practical duties of their posi-
tions. The heads of departments should
have an unlimited power of removal for
incompetency and we believe that this
rule should also extend to those who,
by virtue OF old age, have become use
less In the service. We do not want a
civil pension list in this country. The
same rules which govern in private cor
porations should govern also in the
Government service. 1t is the duty of
every man who has good and secure
position to lay up something to provide
for his old age and If he fails to do so,
we do not believe 1t is the province of
tho Government to provide for him.
Gen. Grosvenor stated in the House
not long since that majority of the
people west of the Allegheny noun
tains are hostile to civil service reform.
Had he said the politicians, we might
have believed him. The value of pat
ronage was clearly demonstrated in the
recent election of Senator Hanna in
Ohio. when promises of federal soft
snaps still in the gift of the administra-
ton we're made to several members of
the Legislature by the Hanna faction
to secure votes. Bribery and corrup-
ton in politics are insidiously sapping
the life OF our American institutions
and it is the part of true patriotism to
stamp them out. A return to the spoils
system now would be the most serious
backward step the country could take.

A Proud Record.

The Morony incident may now be
considered closed and the final result
is a source of congratulation to
those gentlemen who have served
Fergus county in a public capacity
for the past three years.
When Examiner Morony came to
Fergus county to examine into the
accounts of the officials it was antici-
pated by many, including the officials
themselves. that some errors would
be found In their records or in their
method OF transacting business
such a result would have been
wholly probable as each gentleman
came into his office without previous
experience and the man ''who never
made a mistake' had not at that
time been identified.
But what Ia the result? MorOny
investigated, at least, 80 he says.
We all know he reported and such a
mass of blunders was lever before
compiled as those which appeared in
his August report. The officials
against whom charges were made
resented 1t, as well they might, and
brought the matter before the gov
ernor, at an expense, we believe our
Democratic friends figured 1t at the
time, of about $225. The governor
and Nj. Morony pretended this visit

WAS NOT AN ETCHER.
How the Very Shy Young Man An.
swered the Pretty Girl.

swercd the Pretty Girl.
This is the story of a shy yorlg man,
and for that reason his name shall be
hidden under the mantle of charity. He
is a very shy youth in the presence of
all womankind, and has even been
known to blush when a wee baby girl
smiled at him and gurgled- 1t is moi
surprising, therefore, that while his
family were more or less immersed in
society, he seldom went forth himself,
says the Kansas City Star.
One day his aunt babe him to dinner
and declared that she would be forever
offended if he did not come. 1t was n
family conspiracy, you see, to intro
duce him to the sweetest girl in the
world, who would undertake to cure
him of his shyness.
The dinner came off and the shy
young man found himself seated by the
sweetest girl. 1t was lard work for the
girl, though. All through dinner she
had made impossible conversation and
had only been rewarded with blushes
and stammering.
At length dessert was served. and
with the finger bowls came doylies. or
each of which was drawn a clever little
design with indelible ink. Pictures OF
this sort are, for some unaccountable
reason, said to be etched. They fur.
nished the almost exhausted girl with 6
new theme, however. Turning to the
shy youth she inquired. brightly:
"Do you etch?"
"N-no," he replied. 'but I've beer
troubled with prickly heat somewha
during the last hot SPELL"
With a shrek of insuppressibl
laughter the sweetest girl gave hin
up. He is still shy.

The Independent of the 9TH inst.

do not know from who our esteemed
contemporary got the alleged facts
of the said editorial, but, whatever

ment of any matter was aver printed,
even In the Independent. We do
not care to comment in advance on
a case which is to be tried In the

officers maligned by the Democrat,
as well as to the public generally, to
state the facts Of this case. 1t is
true that no names were mentioned
by the Democrat In its attack upon
two OF the Republican officials of
this county. This, however, does
not absolve 1t from responsibility.

Another Lie Nailed.

In order to take notice of each pre-
mediated falsehood or erroneous
statement prompted by ignorance,
which appears in our contemporary,
we should have to devote at least
two columns each week, a space
wholly out of proportion to the in
fiuence such lies or ignoract state
ments could possibly effect.
But occasionally ourcOntemporary
goes to such extent in his efforts to
prejudice people against Republican
officials, that challenge become i'm
perative.
Last week, the Democract said in
speaking of the award of the county
printing contract: utterly indif-
ferent to an honest discharge of their
official duties, they awarded the
county printing contract to the
ARGUS at a higher rate than has pre-
| vailed for the past sever years."
The fact Ia that the last contract
awarded is at the lowest rate which
has been secured by the county fol-
the last seven years, and If any citi.
zen does not believe this let him con
suit the contracts on file in the Office
of the county clerk, a thing which
the editor of the Democrat will no,
do.
The contract given the ARGUS IL
January, 1897, was lower than any,
previous contract, and the contrac
given last week was an exact dupli
cate of that, except that a furthe

port of the examiner was withdrawn
in toto and in December another re-
port, about one-fifth the size of the
original document, and containing
not one-twentieth of the charges
originally made, was submitted.
Thus far Mr.. Morony backed down.
Now the county commissioners

ern himself accordingly.

nature described in the said article.
We have no doubt that the Demo-
crat thought 1t might evade respon
sibility by making it's statement in
the cowardly manner which 1T m
pIoyed; but we are advised that the
identification of the parties libelled
is a matter of proof of which a jury
will be sole judges. There is no pos
sible doubt whom the Democrat
meant In it's attack. The editor OF b
Democrat has admitted that he knew
whom Hoffman meant in the state
ment furnished by him for publica-
ton. 1t is not commendable O the
Democrat to try to crawl out at h
extremely small whole, through
which it is seeking to escape, by say
ing that no names were mentioned.
We predict that the Democrat will
know more about the law of libel
| before it sees the last of this case,
than 1t seems to know at present.
Its attack was wanton and mali
cious. The editor of the unsavory
sheet referred to knew perfectly well
that there was no justification for
his libellous statements. He made
a totally unwarrantable attack,
kno wing it to be such, and now
whines like a whipped hound be-
cause he IL held to accountability
for what he has done. A man who
wantonly publishes what is injurious
to any person should be prosecuted
just as well as he who commits lar
ceny, or any other crime.
The officials to whom iscommitted
the duty OF prosecuting criminals
would have been derelict In theil
duty if they had not caused the edi
tor of the Democrat to be held fol
trial. The whole cas- is summed VI
in the statement that the Democrat
wilfully published a false and injur
ious statement concerning two
County officers and will be held &C
countable therefore.
We predict that the outcome o
this case will be q warning to al
wilful libelers and ~slanderers In thil
county for a long time to come.

William Theodore Durrant, the
convicted murderer of Blanche La
mont at San Francisco in April, 1896,
was given the penalty OF the law at
San Quentin prison, near San Fran
cisco, Friday last. The accountssay
he died bravely, protesting his inno-
cence and forgiving those whom he
said bounded him to death. If there
ever was a sensational murder cas-
In the history OF this country, this
was 1t. The story of the murder has
too often been told to need repetition.
Durrant was early suspected, not
only of this crime but of the murder
OF Minnie Williams, whose body was
found In the same church on the
same day. The prisoner was tried
by a jury OF his peers. and though
there was not a particle OF direct evil
dence, he was convicted and the ver-
dict has been approved by all the
higher courts and the governor.
While the official prosecutors Of the
state of California did all in their
poWCi W oiihS uoout hSSohNiStioh
the San Francisco papers probably
contributed more to that end than
the officers. The Examiner, In par.
ticular, had the man convicted and
hung before but few people knew he
was arrested and have persecuted-
not prosecuted-him ever since. While
the circumstantial evidence wal
strong. there is doubt still, In many
minds, OF the mans guilt. Someday
1t may be proven beyond question
that Durrant was the murderer anC
some day the real murderer may b.
found. Let us hope an innocent maj
has not been hung. II such should
prove the case the adjustment o
capital punishment, except in casel
of direct and unimpeachable evidence
would be demanded in every state IL
