SENATOR CARPENTER. of Wiscon-
sin, goes about civil service reform in
practical way. lie has introduced
bill into the United States Senate TO
amend the Constitution so as to secure
to all civil officers of the government,
except the cabinet officers and judges
of the courts, a fixed tenure of four
years, and to make postmasters elect
i've. An amendment of this character
would undoubtedly be more effective
in giving the country an honest reform
in our civil service than all the silly
platitudes TO which the public has
been treated by Mr.. Hayes.

/ ueem III important, also, To invite
your attention to the provisions OF the
constitution relating To special legislation.
Tho sweeping character OF the seventh
section of tho third article leaves little
room for the enactment OF any other
than general laws. Such laws are, in
some instances. needed To carry into
effect the provisions of the constitution,
many of which are imperative in the
absence of appropriate legislation. To
the end that time may not be consumed
in the consideration OF acts within the
constitutional prohibition, remind you
that the executive is bound, with your.
selves. to a strict enforcement OF the
restraints on special legislation
The course of Hon. Eckley B. Coke,
Senator elect from the Luzcrne district,
in declining to take the oath of office
at the organization of the State Senate,
has attracted wide spread attention and
excited much comment. Mr.. Coke
placed his refusal to be qualified upon
the ground that he had contributed
money for his election in ways not
expressly authorized by the act of
assembly which defines the necessary
and proper expenses incident to the
nomination and election of members
of the legislature aud other officers.
While he did not pay one cent for
improper or corrupt purposes, such
as bribing voters, he paid assess
ments made upon him by county COM
mittees in Luzcruc aud Lackawan.
na counties, a portion of which went
to pay taxes, fees for procuring natu-
ralization papers and other incidental
expenses of the campaign, which he
believes were unauthorized by the law.
For this reason he could not take the
oath. Mr.. Coke is a gentleman OF
wealth and of unblemished reputation
aud standing in the community in
which he lives. No one doubts the
thorough integrity of his character, or
that in thi. matter he has acted other.
wise than in strict accord with the die.
tates of an honest conscience. There
wa. probably not brother Senator
who heard his statement hut would
say they had contributed to their party
| funds in precisely the same manner
but no one Of them appears to have
applied the same rigid rule Of con.
siruction to the law. There is every
evidence that Nh Coke would he very
valuable addition to the State senate
and the people Of Luzcrne should al
once return him, without the use of q
dollar on his part, and thus enable him
to qualify for position which he will
undoubtedly honor.

Ir is said there is n movement on
foot to make Gen. Mcdowell, the
commander of the Department of the
Pacific, Secretary of War. Mellow
ell has some claim upon Gen. Garfield,
not the least of which is the fact of
having travelled all the way from San
Francisco to New York to vote the
Republican ticket for President at the
last election. The claim would possess
more merit if he had done so at his
own expense, and not at the expense of
the Government That vote cost the

IT is an old belief that courts-mar-

to convict. Whittakcr's slit ears,

military court for the sole purpose of
acquitting the dusky cadet of the
