THE failure of the Pfster trial to pro
duce any evidence that woald->warrant
the indictment returned by the Milwau-
kee grand jury has only confirmed what
has all the time been suspected, that the
district attorneys office was being used
for political persecution. The result can
not be otherwise than to discredit the
district attorney and his anti-graft move
ment in that city. When the courts can
be employed to further personal ends
rather than justice, it is an alarming
condition. II indictments can be return
ed against an individual without more
investigation and when there is no more
evidence than there was in the Pfister
case, and man can be placed on trial
for an offense which brands him with in
fanny, when there is no ground for the
charge, who indeed is safe? A man less
able to defend himself might be injured
irreparably under the forms of law.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1905-12-22

IT IS proper to ask what is the differ
ence, morally, between the kind of brib-
cry for which the grand jury in Milwau-
kee has indicted score of men within
the past year, and the promising of lu-
crative positions in the public service,
either for themselves or favored constit-
uents, to members of the legislature in
return for their support of measures. If
there be any difference we believe it is
favorable to the Milwaukee type. That
Milwaukee alderman who accepted
favor in the form of load Of coal to
keep his family comfortable in return for
a vote is no more guilty than one who
offers and delivers offices Of honor and
trust to legislators in return for votes
which their judgment and conscience do
not sanction. It is necessary to speak
plainly upon this subject. This form of
bribery has been carried on during the
last two or three sessions of the legisla.
ture 70 an extent not equaled elsewhere
outside of New York and Pennsylvania.
It and similar practices have done more
to debauch the public service than all
political machine methods ever used in
the state combined, and vastly more than
any amount of so called reform fub- dub
can atone for.-State Journal.

Bur few persons realize what a great
army of people are being appointed each
year in the u. S. Classified Civil Service.
During the last fiscal year there we're
50,830 persons appointed to life positions
from the registers which were establish
ed by open competitive examinations.
During 1897 there were but 3,O47 ap-
pointments made. For most of these
positions only common school educa-
ton is required. These are splendid po-
sitions for persons between Is and 40
years of age. The entrance salary va
ries from $500 to $1,000 year, with lib
eral promotions afterwards, 80 days va
cation and 30 days leave for sickness,
with full pay, are allowed each year.
Examinations will be held during the
winter in several places in this State to
secure eligibles for these positions. On
some registers nearly all who pass are
appointed. The Columbian Correspon-
dence College of Washington, d. c., has
recently issued an announcement, which
will be sent free on request, containing
a full description of all positions in the
Civil Service, salaries paid, dates and
places for holding examinations, and
questions recently used by the Civil Ser
vice Commission. Since President Roose-
velt's election, these appointments have
been closely watched, so that politics
has not been considered.
