The Civil Service Rules,

1t is given out that as soon as the
President returns the Civil Service
Advisory Board will be called togeth
er to consider the question Of modify
ing the civil service rules. and several
propositions which which will be laid
before it, looking to very radical
change in the present system Of ap
pointments. Secretary Richardson
has matured set Of rules which he is
anxious to have the Board consider
and adopt for governing appoint
ments in the Treasury Department
He believes that his system will meet
with the approval of the President and
all true friends of civil service reform,
but 70, the present declines to make
it public. He says, however, that
while his plan provides for competit.
i've examination to a certain extent,
it likewise allows members of Congress
some voice in determining or recon-
neuding appointments to clerical posi-
tions Of persons from their districts.
In word, Richardson says his system
is medium between the present com
petitive examination system, which
forces many persons into position:
which, practically, they are not com
petent to fill, aud the one formerly in
vogue Of making appointments for po.
litical considerations, or by direct or
der of tie head Of the department.

THE POpE'S ILLNESS.

For some weeks. the whole Chris
tan world, Protestant as we'll as CATH
o,ic, have been awaiting with much in
terest the result Of the Pope Of R,me's
illness. Recent adv;ces rcp,-: re
lapse, and thas he is ia q very n ger
Gus condition.
He was born May IL, 1892, and is,
therefore, past eighty.onc. Pope Plus
TX is one of the most remarkable Of
that remarkable line of sovereisus.
Beginning life as dashing spris Of
Italian nobility, he reveled in all the
designations which his rank and wealth
opened up to him. Thwarted in love
and disappointed in military ambition,
he betook himself to the church,
where his talent, tact, and engaging
manners soon won him eminence. Af
ter holding several high positions, he
was elected to the Papal chair in 1913
In this position he Immediately inaug-
urated a series of radical reforms,
which brought him in collision with
the Jesuits and resulted in his expul
sion from Rome before the end Of his
first year. BY the aid Of the army of
Louis Napoleon he soon returned, aud
showed by his acts that he had learned
the lesson and learned it we'll that the
controlling element in the Papal
church is opposed to reforms. From
that day to this he has been the faith
ful exponent Of Jesuitical principles
and executive Of Jesuitical plans, and
presents as marked contrast to the
spirit of the present age as would any
of his predecessors of the Dark Ages.
