THURSDAY, March 3.-.Senote-The deficiency
appropriation bill was reported back from COM
mttee with amendments The senate insisted
upon its amendments to the sundry civil bill, and
new conference was ordered. The senate took
up the general deficiency BILL and the senate
amendments were agreed to as the bill was read.
House-After reading the journal the veto
message was received from the president, and read
by the clerk, which appears elsewhere in these
columns.
Mr. Cox moved to suspend the rules and pass
the apportionment BILL on basis of 307. This
meeting with opposition on the republican side,
Cox so amended his motion to bring up for
consideration the apporti0nment bill, and so have
votes taken on number 1922, 3l9, 3l5, 307, and
when the majority shall agree on any number, to
have the bill with the second and third sections of
the original BILL nut on its passage without de-
bate or dilatory motions.
The rules being suspended in accordance there
with the house first proceeded to vote upon 322.
1t was rejected-ayes, Il9; nays, 49, and vote
was taken on 3lg. This number agreed to
ayes, 1856; nays, 1913. The result was received
with some applause on the republican side.
Mr.. Kinger was the only republican who
voted in the negative, while the following demo-
Gratis voted in the affirmative: Beltzhoover,
Bcknell, COffroth; FELTON,, Hill, Hutchins New,
Richardson. Is. Co. Ryan PENN Tillman,
Wise and Wright. Mr.. Cox then stated that he
intended to abide by the will of the majority, and
though he would vote against the bill he would
perform his duty and present it in proper shape.
The bill was then pas5ed-ayes, AS, nays, ll3;
and provides as follows:
Section l., That from and after the Sd Of
March, 1888, the house of representatives shall

degree the functions and powers of ma

THE CIVIL SERVICE
can never be placed on a satisfactory
basis until it is regulated by law, for
the good of the service ITSELF for the
protection of those who are interested
with the appointing power against the
waste of time and obstruction to pri-
vate business, caused by the inorlinate
pressure for place: and for the protec-
ton Of the incumbents against intrigue
and wrong. ! shall, Mt the proper
time, ask congress to fix the tenure of
minor officers of several OF the execu-
tive departments, and prescribe
grounds upon which removals shall be
made during terms for which incum-
bents have been appointed. Finally,
acting always within authority and
limitations of the constitution and re
served rights of the people, it will be
the purpose of my administration to
maintain authority and in all places
within its jurisdiction to force obedience
TO all laws of the union in the interests
Of the people to demand rigid reform
in the expenditures ofthe government,
and to require honest and faithful SER
vice of all executive officers, remem-
bering that officers were created, not for
the benefit of the incumbents or their
supporters but for the service of the
government.
And now, fellow citizens, am about
to assume the great trust which you
have committed to my hands. / APP
peal to you fors that earnest and
thoughtful support which makes this
government in fact, as it is in law, n
government of the people. | shall
greatly rely upon the wisdom and pa
triotism of congress and of those who
may share with me the responsibilities
and duties of the administration; and
ALEC, above all, upon our efforts to pro-
mote the welfare of this great people
and their government, | reverently in
woke the support and blessings of the
Almighty God.

II seems rs though our stage of civ
iEzation was sufficiently far advanced
to enable us to do away with the bar
barous so-called sport known as pigeon
shooting. Perhaps this recreation Is
so essential to the happiness of a large
number of sporting young men thatno
appeals in the name of humanity will
be Of any avail to prevent the cruelties
that are associated with it; but what
cannot be accomplished by such means
may he strongly influenced by the force
If public opinion. 1t may ut least de-
ter some persons from joining in the
sport when it is stated that just before
the birds are allowed to fly their tail
feathers are cruelty torn out--probably
to render the poor birds less able to
guide their course and to place them
more Mt the mercy of the marksmen.
We do not know that this is always
done, for although keenly appreciative
of the pleasures of legitimate sport in
the woods, the writer has never been
able to understand the satisfaction
which some persons find in the slaugh-
ter of half hundred OF more manned
and helpless birds. Certain it is, how
ever. that sometimes this outrageous
cruelty is practiced. A pigeon which
escapes the marksman has still no
chance for life, for there are always
others standing with gun in hand wait
ing for chance shots to bag them.
Pigeon shooting is mere slaughter, and
If is not true sport. Its a pleasure to
break glass balls in the air, and it re
ouires some skill to do it, but it is
Yerv different thing to infiict pain for
mere personal qualification.

Useless and Hurtful Medicines.

There is certain class of remedies for consti-
patton absolutely useless. These are bouses and
potiOns made in great part of podophyin, aloes,
rhubarb, gamboge, and other worthless ingredi-
ents. The damage they do 10 the stomachs of
those who use them is incalculable. They eyaeu-
ate the bowels, it is true, but always do SO vio-
lently and profusely, and besides, grpe the bow
els. Their effect is to weaken both them and the
stomach. Better far to use the agreeable and SAL
utary aperent Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
laxative effect of which is never preceded by pain.
or accompanied by q eonvulsiye, violent action OF
the bowels, On the contrary, it iHvis those
organs, the stomach and the entire system As
a means of curing and preventing malarial fe-
vers no medicine can compare with it, and it rem
edies nervous debility, rheumatism, kidney and
bladder inactivity. and other inorganic ailments.

Hop Bitters, which are advertised IN
our columns, are sure cure for ague,
biliousness and kidney complaints.
Those who use them say they cannot
be too highly recommended. Those
afflicted should give them fair trial,
and will become thereby enthusiastic IN
the praise of their curative qualities.

Won MoITKE was called upon some
time ago by the institute of intena-
tional law, composed of most of the
eminent political economists and
students of the law of nations, to sub
scribe to manual for the conduct of
nations during hostiiities. The method
ic marshal gives but cold comfort to
the peaceful society. "War," he says,
bluntly, sis an element in the order of
the world ordained by God. The no
blest virtues humankind are developed;
courage and the abnegation of self,
faithfullness to duty and the spirit of
sacrifce-the soldier gives his life.
Without war the world would stagnate
and lose itself in materialism." Or,
in other words, without overgrown
standing armies it would be impossible
to bless the world with such boOns as
the German empire and its feudal sys-
tenn of repression. As for the adop-
ton of manual to guide nations at
war. he scouts it. What nation would
ever take up arms to punish the neg
lect of such Il manual? He thinks,
furthermore, that it is unreasonable to
hope for more gentleness and forbear-
ance than that displayed by Germany
in the late war with France. This
gives the measure of the stern old
soldiers idea of gentleness, since that
war was marked by some of the most
gratuitously cruel episodes that disgrace
the annals of war since lilly oyerran
the Palitinate. He defines himself
clearly on the point; Il can by no
means profess agreement with the dec
laration when it asserts that the weak
ening of the military forces of the enc
my is the only lawful procedure in
war. No, you must attack all the re-
sources of the enemy's government,
its finances, its railways, its stores and
even It's prestige"

TILE MORMONs

The constitution guarantees absolute
religious freedom, Congress is prohib-
tied from making any law respecting
the establishment of religion or pro-
hibiting the the free exercise thereof.
The territories of the United States are
subject to the direct legislative authori-
ty Of congress and hence the general
government is responsible for any vio-
lation Of the constitution in any Of
them. 1t is therefore reproach to
this government that in the most pop.
ulous ofthe territories, the constitution
al guarantee is not enjoyed by the peo-
pie and the authority of congress is set
at naught. The Mormon church not
only otfends the moral sense of man
kind by sanctioning polygamy, but
prevents the administration of justice
through the ordinary instrumentahties
of law. In my judgement it is the
duty of congress, while respecting
to the utmost the condition and
religious scruples of every citizen, to
prohibit within our jurisdiction all
criminal practices, especially of that
class which destroy family relations
and endanger social order Nor can
any ecclesiastical organization be safe
ly permitted to usurp in the smallest

GENERAL GARFIELD was peacefully
inaugurated president of the United
States on the 4th inst, at Washington.
His inaugural was very long and APP
pears elsewhere in these columns. 1t
seems to have been rather stiff and
uninteresting occurrence throughout
The 10th congress adjourned without
passing the apportionment bill 1t
passed the house but was not acted up
on in the senate. All the appropria-
ton bills passed and were signed by
the outgoing president. 1t has been
impossible to determine, by the
mangled dispatches received what was
the final fate of the funding bill. The
house of representatives got into a
wrangle during the last hours over the
military around the capitol and was
finally forced to hurriedly adopt a few
complimentary resolutions to officers
and clerks, and adjourn sine die to es-
cape the confusion and noise of the
inaugural ceremonies.

COMMERCE AND TRANSPORTATION.
Our facilities for transportation should
be promoted by the continued improve
ment Of our harbors an interior water
ways, and by the increase of our ton
mage upon the ocean.
The developments of the world
commerce has led to an urgent demand
for shortening the great sea voyage
around Cape Horn, by constructing
ship canals or railways across the 18TH
mus which unites the two American
continents. Various plans to this end
have been suggested, and will need con-
sideration, but none of them have been
sufficiently matured to warrant the
United States in extending the pecuni-
airy aid. The subject will imm ediately
engage the attention of the govern
ment, with view to thorough protec-
ton of American interests We will
urge no narrow policy, seeking no pc
culiar or executive privileges in any
commercial route, but in the language
of my predecessor, believe ''it to- be
the right and duty of the United States
to assert and maintain such supervision
and authority over any inter-oceanic
canal across the isthmus which con
meets North and South America, AS will
protect our national interest"
