that during the past year there has been very
great addition to the current work OF the Office,
besides the extra work, and 1t has been found i'm

building without casing for its files The new
building, he says is large enough for the force
required at the present time The narrow hall
ways are already filled with casing for files, and
there Is no place In the building for the books in
almost daily use Another building, In addition to
the present one, is an immediate necessity for the
money order business 1t should be made large
enough to accommodate the auditors Office and be
under the control OF the department which fur

SENATOR BAYARD, of Delaware, is Of
the opinion that the Republican par
ty is nowin the same position as the
Wing party was i'll 1874 when it was
wrecked, except that there is no great
"moral question" Ike slavery to give
as then a new party activity. He
thinks the question of civil service
reform is about as live question as
can be found, and that the party sue
ccssful at the next presidential cleo
ton must comply with the popular
demand for such reform. Mr. Bayard
does not overestimate thelmportance
Of civil service reform, but hand in
hand with that must go revenue re-
form. The people Of this country
are certainly in earnest about having
their government conducted econom-
ically and the public service. based on
strictly businessprinciples. They al
so insist that taxation shall be re-
duced.
