$4,000 bail, R ,bert G. Ingersoll, his counsel,
becoming his bondsmau. He says there Was
no division of funds, but simply failure to
deposit in the public depository, he placing
his funds in private bank. The alleged
overcharge on transportation was for charg
ing ut usual rates. fares Of persons who had
passes or free tickets, which were given to
Russell personally and not as courtesy to the
government.

Ctru Servfce Reform.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Senator Pendleton
IN behalf of the committee on civil service
and retrenchment to-day presented to the sen.
ate report in advocacy Of the passage of the
bill to regulate and improve the civil service
Of the United States, reported to the senate on
the Oath of March last. The report reviews
at length the growth of the government since
its foundation and the effect OF this growth
on civil service Referring to what is char.
ac'erized as the "spoils system" and it's
effect upon the president, it maintains that in.
stead of devotlng his time to the great ques
lions of craftsmanship. he must spend most of
it in writing in the balance of the political
considerations, s'that shall determine the
claim of this friend or that
political supporter to the posses.
sion of some Office of profit or honor under
him. The president the republic created by
the constitution in the beginning and the chief
magistrate to-day 1t is maintained ars two
entirely different public functionaries. There
has grown up such perverslon Of the duties
of the presidential Office. such prostitution of
it to ends unworthy of the great idea of it's
creation, imposing burdens so grievous and SO
degrading to all the faculties and functions be-
coming its occupants, that q change, the CON-
mittee think. is necessary. Personal atten
ton to the consideration which should com.
pei executive action in the disposi-
ton OF patronage and the selection OF
officials has become impossible, and
political control, as the guide TO such action.
l. fraught with Generalization and danger to
| the republic" The committee says, ''this
much is patent. That in the growth and ex.
pansion of the nation, the appointing power il
| taxed beyond the possibility of personal atten.
| ton to the requirements of officials. Posi-
lions are increased an hundred fold in number
| and manifold in the variety aud responsibility
of the duties to be performed; that in the dis
charge of this, the highest of all executive
functions, political influence and compenssl
| tons have come to dominate and subordinate
all other considerations, and the distribution
of the official spoils, has come to be the wfu
prerogative of political ascendancy. Ofices
have come to be sought for and bestowed al
SO many charities, furnishing support to thi
needy and exacted in return for partisan ser
vice, not as SO many trusts imposing duties
on the holders" These abuses, the commit
tee assert, have grown out of system com
paratively new in our government. Appoint
ments because of special fitness and remova
for cause, were the rule IN it's early history
The report after quoting from the views here
tofore expressed by Presidents Grant, Hayes
Garfield and Arthur in favor of regulating thu
| civil service by law, closes by urging the pas
sage of the bill.

had no other significance. He said they had
been to the end of the track, LAT miles beyond
Glendlve, and had been over all OF their
branches except the Manitoba South
western. T ey found everything in
a fourishin 20 condition. The country
was prosperous and the road would have four
or five millions of wheat to transport the pres.
emit year. The earnings for the current month
would amount to $500. 1000. In relation to new
work this year Mr.. Cakes stated that no new
branches would be begun this sea
son. On the main line
they expected to build 200 miles from this
end and 200 more from the Pacific end, leav
ing gap of only 200 to complete. This gap,
he said, would be closed during the first six
months of 1883.

A good deal has been said and writ
ten since the completion Of this road
concerning its earnings, and the asser-
ton is yet frequently made that its
charges are exoroitant. They may APP
pear to be true at first glance, but let us
examine the facts in the case
The late William Fl. Clark once re-
marked to the writer that persons who
built houses in Eureka calculated to
charge enough rent to get back the or
;@inal cost of the building in two years,
Mr. Clark held that the mines were
liable to speter'' at any time, and IN
order to save themselves builders were
obliged to pursue such a course. Loans
cannot be negotiated to-day on good
real estate security for less that ,! or 3
per cent. per month. or 80 and SO per
cent. per year. Even banks charge .
per cent. per month, or "A per cent. per
annum on approved security. Now. if
our mOneyed men do business on such
basis in order to save themselves from
possible loss, is it not fair that three or
four men who own q railroad should
have the same right ? The success of
the +. & p. road hangs on the cont nucd
success Of our mines. That they will
continue to be successful all believe, but

Over in the Big Meadows any day
fine illustration Of chilly comfort may be
seen in the plan adopted by the Indians
to catch fish and keep warm at the same
time. Follow the river and occasionally
you come across a noble red man, muf-
fled up in all the cid coats and blank cts
he possesses, sitting in his canoe, which
is loaded with firewood. Three or four
feet Of the center Of the canoe is covered
with sand to the depth Of two or three
inches, and on this he keeps bright
fire blazing, and, with his back to the
fame, pursues the business of taking in
the speckled beauties. The smoke
might prove troublesome TO the white
man, but the Digger is in no danger of
having his Complex ion injured, and as
he paddles along from one good rill to
another he looks as Independent as a
lord and throws a glance of pity at the
white man who takes his chances from
the snowy bank, and has TO knock under
in the fishing race at the rate of about
five to one.-P},tnas NotiOnaL
