We note an article in our esteem
ed contemporary this week, advocat-
ing the continuance of the civil ser
vice in the matter of appointments of
postmasters. It's a foregone con-
clusion that Democrats, as a general
proposition are violently opposed to
disturbing civil service appointees
IS now existing, especially in this
neck of the woods. As herein stat
ed. on more than one occasion, civil
service. if allowed to be construed
and applied by and for Democrats is
most admirable. We have pretty
much the same sort of civil service
rules. in name, as was found by the
said Democrats when they came into
power eight years ago. AS a matter
of course we do not profess to know
lust how it is, and has been applied
in the Country generally, nor thru
out the state of Kentucky, but to
take our own dear County of Ohio in
particular. to start with Centertown,
il is held down by a Democrat, Hart
ford 'itto, and the same is true OF
Dundee, Fordsville, Narrows, Olaton'
Horse Branch, Rosine, Beaver Dam,
Cromwell, McHenry Rockport, and
let's see. what other offices are to be
found. yes there is Deanfield, or is 1t
Aetnaville? While Run, Renfrow,
Baizetown and Select, of the political
of Postnrasters of these
latter points we know nothing at all
But at some there is perhaps not
more than one person who could be
induced to accept the office, then too
they pay next to nothing. But judg-
ing from what has transpired at some
of the other points If there was
single Democrat who desired the Of
flee he got it, regardless OF the now
much talkd of civil service. Even the
application of republican for Rural
Carrier has been a standing JOKE
where there was a Democrat who de-
sired the place. Merit has not been
considered, but on the other hand
mans politics has been the deciding
factor, and local referee or referees
hav done the naming of Postmasters
and also new rural carriers for some
time, even during the hey day OF
civil service. 1t is now beyond the
power of these fellows to pick ap-
pointees and of course they want
things to remain as they are.

IL BELIEVED DEAD
AS BLAST RESULT

Chicago, March 29.-The casualty
list in the mysterious explosion in a
warehouse in the West Side Italian
tenement district today still was in
definite tonight.
A quadruple investigation by
branches of the city government also
had been unable to establish definite
ly the cause of the disaster.
Six bodies had been recovered from
the wreckage Six more were be-
lieved to be in it, and the list of in
jured was set at from seventy-five to
100.
Chief of Police Fitzmorris annoGnc-
ed after a personal survey of the
scene that indications were that igni-
ton in some unknown way of more
than ton of fireworks stored in a
small building next door to the ware
house caused the explosion.
Scores of fireworks labels, percus-
sion caps, pieces of firecrackers and
torpedoes were found after the blast.
Other theories as to the cause of
the disaster were faulty gas mains
and bombs, but the police were in
clined to ignore these after an in
vestigation.

That woodford County Grand Jury
summoned and convened for the spe-
cial purpose of investigating the
hanging of the negro at Versailles
by that mob, was certainly a hard
working bunch It was in session
only a few hours, yet examined TWEEN
ty-five witnesses, and used about a
barrel of whitewash. 1t might have
been in session two or three minutes
longer tho, had it said anything at
all about the mob or mob rule. Our
guess is>that it ran out of whitewash
and not desiring to loaf on the job,
simply reported and was discharged.
