THE CIVIL SERVICE BILL.
FUTILE ATTEMPT OF MIR. HTSCOCK 70
CONTROL IT IN THE HOUSE


Kaason Takes it In Charge-PendlctonM May
Not Recognize his Own Chiid when he Sees
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-The sharp-tongued
Senator from Kansas. Mr.. ingalls,. has boon
absent several days. In the vote on'the Civil
Service Reform bill he was announced rs paired
with Senator who opposed tho bill When
tho pair was being arranged ingalls, was
asked how he could favor the bill aitor de-
nouncing 1t as sham. Ho replied that
no did not propose to DO outdone In hy-
pocrisy by any Senator. His disposition In
this regard seems to have influenced several
notable members Of the House. This morning
two distinguished though recent. converts
We'd with each other on the floor Of tho House
to secure control OF tho Pendlcton bill. Mr..
Hiscock. who has been shaking his shaggy
head ominously at any one whom he could

SO they stood on the floor to-day. Hiscock
fierce gloomy. and threatening. and Kasson
oily. urbane. and meek. and made their fight.
Hiscock was beaten, as no almost always 10.
Kasson got the bill referred to his Civil Service
Reform Committee. and IL Pcndleton recog-
nizes 1t when 1t comes out he will be indeed .

be about as tender with. Pendleton,s bill as it

indicates that President Arthur will not have
the chance this year Of deeferring or yetoing
the bill. but MIR. Kasson will send back In Its
place to the Senate q bill that will be ms spe-
cious and smooth as he is and as little danger
Gus. That will be the end Of the whole business.
Tonight Mr.. Hiscock is disposed to DO out
up about 1t. He thinks he Is sincere civil
service reformcr. and that Kasson's followers
have already been described by Ingalls, in the
Senate. II bill can be got through that will
keep Republican ofnceholders in, Mr.. Kasson will
do It. and 1t will be as prettily worded and
sweetly scented as this skilfu manipulation OF
manners and words can make 1t. II that sort
Of bill cannot get through. then no bill will Mr..
Edmunds says that the Senate spent two
weeks in passing a. bill giving the President
power to do that which he practically can do
without the aid OF any such bill. Under the
leadership that kasson sought and got day
the House will probably spend an equally long
time with no more pOsitiye results
