reform as applied to state institutions.
He said that there is practically no suNh
thing as civil service reform In the state
Institutions OF Nebraska which harbor
5000 inmates; that even in the hospitals
positions are not awarded on account OF
merit but were secured and retained rather
by political influence. He emphasized the
necessity of competent superintendent.

commended the law passed by the last leg

such patients and called attention to the
fact that It ls 1agrantly violated in Omaha
and ignored by the health commissioner
He referred to the majority of these lying
in hospitals as little short Of criminal and
recommended that tho club women make 1t
their business to arouse a sentiment in
Omaha that would bring about an enforce

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

The seriousness with which women arc
interesting themselves in civil service re-
form was indicated at Monday afternoons
meeting of the Woman's club. which was
attended by one Of the largest audiences
Of the year. The program was presented
by the civil service reform committee, Mrs.
F. II. Cole, chairman and besides the club
membership there were present Mrs. VI.
NJ. Bushnell OF Lincoln. president of the
state federation. Mrs. Charles Selleck Of
Blair. vice president for the Second dis
trict. and representatives of the several
other clubs Of Omaha, Bellevue and Couu-
ell Bluffs. A piano solo by Mrs. Samuel
Katz opened the program In the absence
of Postmaster II. L. Palmer. who was de-
talned by Illness II. 4. Akin Of the post
Office read his address, in substance fol-
lows:
Ninety-four years after the Declaration
Of Independence the representatives OF the
United States in congress assembled en-
acted a law. which can be found on page
Sli, section 2. of volume i6 United States
statutes. and reads follows:
That the president OF the United States
be. and he is hereby authorized to prescribe
such rules and regule lions for the admis-
sion OF persons into the civil service OF the
United States as will best promote the ef-
hciency thereof. and ascertain the fitness
Of each candidate in respect TO age, health,
branch OF service into which he seeks TO
enter. and for this purpose the president
Is authorized to employ suitable persons to
conduct Sich inquiries. to prescribe their
duties and to establish regulations for the
conduct of persons, who may receive APP
| pointments in the civil service"
This law did not make Il plain that party
| politics should not be considered in the eN-
| animation OF applicants. and while it WAS
permissive to a full untramelled entry into
/ tho service, regardless of party loyalty, II
| seems to have been wholly ineffective and
practically a dead letter until January Is,
! 1883. when congress enacted law, the re-
suits of which have in another manner
| been as far-reaching the first act that
| declared our Independence from Great Brit
/ ain. The first act denied allegiance to the
| crown the law of 1871 was the first move
| toward freeing us from political rule and
service to grafters.
! The first genuine honest move toward
! civil service reform was in the act OF jan
| truth triumphed The act passed was a
more comprehensive and effective measure
| than the one of March 3. 1871. In this act
| the applicant for civil service examination
| could be a republican, democrat. Cath
Ole or a Protestant. Politics religion OF
| color was no bar to his or her admission
| to the service The act was specially in
tended to promote the efficiency of the
| service by eliminating politics and rewards
| for political service. This law when passed
| applied to about 5000 employees but now
more than 10000 employees of the govern
ment in nearly every department of service
are included in the benefits of civil service
law.

Labecek May Recover.

Joe labecek, known ABOUT the packing
houses as Joe Roebeck, the man whose chin
was shot OFF Sunday night, is still alive
and. according to the statement of DR..
Koutsky, he has a chance of recovery. Two
more arrests have been made in connection
with the shooting The first was the ar
rest of Mrs John Tenczar, Forty-third and
n streets. where the shooting took place
1t is said that she urged young Tom Koziol
TO do the shooting after drunken quarrel
with Labecek, or Roebeck. The third
rest was that of Anton Kotzur a butcher,
who had been with LAbecek, and who is
said TO have fired four or five shots which
lodged in the barn at the Tenczar place.
Mrs Tenczar was set at liberty yesterday
morning after an examination W ich showed
that she had little to do with the affair. No
complaint has yet been filed against Koziol.
since the extent of Labecek's injuries are
not known.
II is likely that the defense will develop
a different story of the shooting. 1t is de-
clared that I.abecek and his companions
went to the dance for the purpose of break
ing it up or of whipping Koziol. In the first
place they entered the house where some
kind OF a quarrel took place and an attempt
was made to get Koziol out into the yard
and administer the whipping Ii is said

one blow on the head, cutting his scalp.
While in the dark and fighting il is said
that Labecek's companions struck him also
on the head. mstaking him for Koziol.
When the party got out the door it was
locked Then they tried TO get in again,
when they found their victim had escaped
them. AS a ruse for getting into the house
again Iabecek went to the window with his
hat of, saying that he would not go away
without It, Those inside the house told him
his hat was not there. They say he then
smashed the window, and Koziol warned
him to get away or he would shoot. La

TWITCHING NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have af-
flicted III regular succession one genera
tion after another of their family are, as
q rule, inclined to submit to them as in-
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and a readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here

UNFAIRNESS AND DECEIT.
"Tariff Reformers' Cannot Be Hon
est in Presenting Their
Case.

President Roosevelt has discovered
that it is unsafe to express an opin-
ion on the tariff in the presence of
bunch of tariff reformers." He has
been misquoted by some of the Boston
brand and in a very vigorous manner
has declared that they misrepresented
and distorted the facts, says the Tren-
ton Gazette.
AS a rule, no tariff reformer" ex-
Tacts to be honest in presenting his
case. He cannot be because to be-
gin with he is not for reform at all.
He is free trader, pure and simple,
no matter whether he talks free raw
material or foreign markets.
The reformer who demands free
hides and taxed shoes knows that if
he should succeed in causing such dis
elimination the entire fabric of protec-
ton would go down as an inconsistency;
or that if his pleas for reciprocity
with Canada. through the removal of
protection from the products of the
western farmer in order to open the
Canadian market to the manufacturer
of the east were established, the west
would retaliate by removing protec-
tion from the manufacturer, which
would result in free trade.
The tariff reformer' always moves
along the hedge of deception and un-
fairness ever since the days of John
Golden. 1t is his nature to do So
and the president has learned the les
son well-so well, indeed, that the
tariff reformer who hereafter has an
audience with him will have some
hard questions put to him which he
will have to answer to his own dis
comfiture, as was the case a few days
ago when Gov. Douglas tried and his
delegation was forced to say that it
wanted free hides but not free shoes.
