never raised unv question a- to ha veracity. Who could doubt tbe following statemen to? He wns fishing for catfish. His long, heavy trout-line was made fast to a larj-e hickory tree standing on the north bank of the Ohio river. A catfish got hooked; in struggling to remove the hook from his mouth, the ash shook every nut from the tree; and, finally, getting real angry he made a grand old long, broke ' the cable," and with his tail cleared ona hundred and sixty acres of land on Ibe Kentucky side of the river. With the timber which tbe fUh failed, Mr. Potts built a house, fenced the land sight rails "stake and rider" and then proceeded to crop it. He planted the land in corn and mitnnbin need- The crop was a failure-

As there are many iersons in thU citv who dream of drawing n
, j fortune out of the Louisiana fraud, ! we reproduce the following from a
San .rranciseo paper, tnat snows how the work is done : "The latest phase of the lottery swindle came out the other day when some victim, depending upon the advertised drawings as published in certain papers in this city, supposed he had drawn a part of a capital prize. His ticket was destroyed or taken frm him, and he brought to establish his claim to a certain propor
tion of the prize. According to the Eublishcd account the capital prize j ore the same figures as those announced on his fractional ticket.
These were figures sent by the man
ager of the concern to this city. It
will be noted that at neany every
drawing of this Louisiana lottery swindle a proportion of the prizes
are announced as drawn in tins city.
It has Ions been known that theie
declarations were largely falsehoods,
employed to induce larger investments in the swindling concern. It was brought to light on the recent investigation that the announcement
made here was false. The chief
manager of the lottery testifies that the. ticket purporting to have draw o the errand prize was not issued by
the comnanv at all. but remained
uncancelled, another way of stating
that the ticket was not sold by the lottery company, but retained by it. This was probably a specimen announcement such as appears in one or more papers of this city after each monthly drawing. The
prizes arc cut up and apportioned to prominent places, so that they

wetter, (also a Democrat) and abused him unmercifully, so that one evening the Auditor went into the Neil House, and drawing his revolver shot at Elliott several times, but being a poor marksman, missed his aim. Keiswelter was arrested and taken before Mayor Walcuit
(a Republican) next day, and was discharged as being justified in the shooting. The Mayor said, as re
ported in tbe papers : I understand the law in tbis cae, bat I belicvt I occupy a dual position to-day. As wall as sitting as Magistrate in this ease, I am r eitisen of Columbus, and know that tbis affair was the outcome ot

farm Mean. To tbe Progress : Will you allow me a column, or more, to set forth in a partial way, the objects and aims of the Civil Service Reform Association, lately organized in our midst. A great many people who are good and wie, and otherwise, delight in culling Civil Service Reform a "humbug," and some well meaning people have an idea that it is some visionary scheme which can never amount to anything, and in which "practical men" are not concerr.wl. Civil Service Reformers believe, and' never hesitatoto say, that ihe opponents of the reform embrace only two classes oi people : 1. Those uninformed on tho subject. 2. Those unfair, or prwjudieed or the subject, which may include a third class, namely, the party politicians who have some selfish purposes to servo. This is another way of saying that any honest man who understands tho subject
mill wi h civil Korviofl reformer. Most of
tb people who laugh at, and denounce the
reform ao not iniriy unnersianu wuai iv means. On a public question of such vital importance we should seek a full underoianriinir. Ponle are nfkiiiE. "what does
oivil aorvice reforui mean ?" It may be
answered : It mtans that the superintendents and tenehers of our Blind and Insane Asylams
Mnd of the Reform Schools, the Direcors,
and Wardens and Chaplains of our Prisons, the Trurteee and Officials of our Orphans' Asylums, shall not be discharged without cause. Tbe ' spoils syatem" discharges them every time tbe other party succeeds. It means that a man's politics shall not bo a cause for dismissal. Tho '-spoils system-' makes it the chief cttute. It moans that teachers applying for positions in our public schools shall not be asked, Are -you a Democrat r Republi" cn ?" with the information that no Democrat need apply. In many of ou" cities arid elsewhere, partisan School Hoards apply this iron clad political lest. Tho result is, tho teachers are among tho "workers" on elect ion day, who get out (imv:f- the !".;. iu dsuou. n. . to "bus-
II means that the political action of tbe
people shall not be controlled by a body of office holders. II any class" of citizens ought to "keep out of polities' it is tho of-
flee holding class, averynoay sees now the "spoils system" turns ever to them, almost completely, the control of our great political parties. It means that the "rascals" must be turned out. The spoils system keeps them in, and turns more in with them. It means that it is not necessary for a commissioner of the National Park to bo a good Democrat or for a Director of an Infirmary to be a gool Republican. Herein it opposes the "spoils system." It means thai voting for Bla!ne ought not to be a necessary qualification for a County Librarian. The "spoils system" d scharges an old and crippled soldier for no offence but his vote. It means that letter carriers, and needle
women who mend government mail sacks, shall not be discharged because tbey are not vuters,or because their fathers and hus
bands were Republicans ton or twenty years ago. The "spoils systom" commits such outrages. It means that a competent, faithful officer shall not be dismissed because his nlaco is wanted for somo party "heeler."
The "spoils system'' feeds on such public abuses.
It means that racking a primary, or
voting for a particular candidate, gives a
man no "eUim to an omoo. ino "spoils system" knows no higher claim. It means that tbe offices mutt be used fur the people and must be open to all the people. The "spoils system" says that they must be used for the party, and be open only to partisansIkrncun that public business shall be conducted on business principles. Every sensiblo business man would kick the "spoils system" out of bis establishment i oxtaii tor. The "spoils system" would disgrace King Theebaw. Is it unreasonable ar ridiculous to ask people to co operate in opposition to such ft system ? Civil Service Reform dooa no mean that Republicans shall stay in office,
or that anybody shall become a "Mug
wump," or that a technical '"sehool-mas-ifi-i test" shall be the only way of choosing
civil officers. Tho method of appointment mav be an open question. Tbo competitive
examination may not be the best j but it is certain that the "spoils system" h the worst. If wo as o neonle really favor
what civil service reform opposas, and op
nose what it lavors, I submit that our
consciences and judgments need enlight
enment and understanding.
John C. Calhoun said. 50 vears ago, in
contemplating the present system, on
small scale, that if the time should ever come when th President should deal with
h .'orns of n hundred thousand office-hold'
ere.tho friends of liberty might surrender in
despair. Theprophecy was too gloomy. The
lime nils "time wnen me x'resiueui wiuiua
this viiit nower. and it has mt led to wsur
nation. But when we roflect that such
iKwer may sometime lodge in the hands
of an unscrupulous and ambitious man, und that, in every presidential election 120.000 offices with yiiw hundred million dollars in salaries are put up for strife ns the priie of the contest, it is not difficult to see in tho power of "the spoils" a danjrnrou wcuu-'o ta the freedom of the people.
