Sunset Cox on civil Service Re
form

The following is a copy of a let
ter addressed on the 18th ult. to
Messers. Hiscock, Reid, Keifer,l
Cox and Randall, the prominent
candidates for the Speakership of
the House OF Representatives, to-
gether with the reply to the same
received from Mr.. Cox: al
NEW YORK, November %, 1881.
To the Hon. s. S. C0r-Dear Sir:
| al1 Instructed by the CIVIL Service
Reform Association TO ask you If
you were in favor of such plan OF
reform in the Civil Service as is
embodied in the bills introduced by
Mr. Willis Of kintucky at the last
session of Congress, Of which we
send you copies, and also to ask
whether in the event Of your cleo
ton as Speaker of the House OF
Representatives you will appoint on
the committee on reform III the
Civil Service members who are in
favor Of such reform, and who
would recommend appropriate
legislation on the subject ut an
early day.
The association is entirely non
partisan.
4 similar letter has been sent to
each candidate for the speallerShlp.
Yours very truly.
WILLIAM PORTS, Secretary.
The following is the only reply
received to 5he above letter:
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. so, 1881.
Dear Sir: Yours is at hand. l am
hardly able, even in brief way. to
give you my views as to the Civil
Service. My friend Willis intro,
duced a wise bill, and some bill OF
similar tenor ought tC be the law.
[ would aim at the practical appli-
cation of the idea-that merit
should obtain. This | have helped
to do, as you will see. first, by the
I Census Law, where partisan APP
pOintmentS were forbidden; and
second, in the Life-saving Law
where similar provisions were en-
acted. In both Of these measures
there was fair application OF good
business sense in carrying out the
law. [ am associated with these
measures, and they tell better than
mere profession what is my judg.
ment. In the propagation of your
tenets you can, by some informa
ton from Mr.. Kimbal, Superintend
ent of the Life-saving Service, anC
from General F. Il. Walker, late Of
the Census Bureau, do your cause
cause real Civil Service" With
respect,
S. S. Cox,
| WILLIAM PORTS Esq.

How to Shake Hands

There are only two or three peo-
pie now living who can successfully
Shake hands. There is good deal
of Misunderstanding done through the
country, especially at this season OF
The year, but only very small per
cent. Of the shakers and snakees
know how to DO it SO as to get the
entire amount of eXhilaratiOn out OF
il. Some grab the hand OF an adj
versary in a quick, nervous manner
that ScareS The victim nearly to
death, while others slide the cold
and clammy paw at you 50 that you
feel the same as when you drop a
cold raw oyster with vinegar on 1t
down your back. If you are Shak-
inc hands with lady, incline the
hand forward with d soft and grace
full vet half Cimid movement, like a
bow climbing a barb-wire fence
with a fifty-pound watermelon
Look gently in her eyes with a
kind of pleading smile, beam on her
features Il bright and WinsOme
beam, say something that you have
heaYe heard some one else say on
similar occasions, and in the mean
time shake her hand in a subdued
vet vigorous way, not as though you
were trying to make mash by pull
verizing her fingers, nor yet IN too
conservative a manner, allowing
her hand to fall with a thlckenlng
thud when you let go. Care should
be taken also not to hang on to the
hand more than half an hour III
public, as bystanders might make
remarks. This is now considered
quite outre and mandamus.
