THE KNOXVILLE oHRoSIuLs

During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, a. the same
time, keep its readers fally posted
on all the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the interests of
that party above any personal aims
or priyata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection Of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success.
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. 1t
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infa-
nous schemes. HJ
The WHIa AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues Of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. 1t will con.
tain choice selection of miscella.
neous matter each week, together
with editorials, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ex-
cluded. 1t will be the object of the
publishers to make it welcome
visitor into the families of the
country.
Its market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as
nearly perfect and reliable as pos
sible. ......
The Agricultural columns Of the
WIG AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm.
proved all the time. In this depart
ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics of interest will be invited.
The proprietors of these tive old
and well established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more thar
the subscription price charged.

Gsrdeld's Chanese Letter.
The Signal Service.

1Ae propositions that were numerous
lY made in the press and elsewhere i'm
mediaaely after the decease Of the late
Cen Albert J. Meyer, that the fuuc-
tiorIs Of the signal corps relating to me-
neurological observation should be wholly
divorced from the army, and that the
signal serVice, so called, should be at
tached to some other department of the
government or made a separate bureau,
have apparently had little or no effect
upon. the public mind, and there is small
expectation in any intelligent quarter
,thaba material change in relation of the
signal service and the army is to occur
Whatever theoretic arguments may be
adduced in favor Of separating the pres.
sent observation corps from the army,
it cannot be denied that the weather SER
vice has been developed into its present
high state Of efficiency under the Charge
Of army officers and by the application
of military methods. The natural ten
dency under our form Of government is,
and should be, to let. well enough alone,
and in the case Of the signal service it
is not pretended, we believe, that the
public would be any better served, or
that any substantial benefit would re-
suit from the organization of the bust
ness OF meteorological observation on a
new basis. ,r.... ..
The more fully popular attention is
called to the admirable condition Of this
branch of the pablo service, the
stronger will be the inclination on the
part Of the. people to continue the signal
service as a sta4 department Of the
armw Unless the army itself shall de-
clare in favor of a change, we fancy that
there will be none, and that some com
petent military officer will be appointed
to take charge Of the service and to car
ry on the great wo.k which tits now
doing for the country. We are conf
dent that this will be all the more GER
tain when it is understood how com
pIetely the ideas of a true civil service
have been applied in the organiaatson Of
the sigma service. , Here is one bureau
of the government to which the COM
plants Of the ''civil service reformer"
have no pertinency, for here all the ideas
Of the civil service reformer are perfect,
tly exemplifed. Appointments by ex.
animation, promotions according tomer.
it, and tenure Of office are all adequate
ly maintained and secured by the sys-
lem which aow exists, Who can say
that they would be as we'll maintained
as they now are if the service recon,
verted into separate bureau Of the
government, as some persons have
seemed to think it ought to be! The
public perhaps does not realize that
under these regulations the service is
attracting very fine class OF young
men, whose experience and training is
destined to be Of the greatest permanent
value to the government, Convert the
signal service into an independent bu-
bureau and how long would it be be-
fore this, like some other departments
Of the government, would become a
mere adjunct Of the political machine
Of the party that may happen to be in
po~er u. af -" cd&.ei.
