ing over to receive some instructions from
him as presiding officer. Senator Beck
was hungry and thirsty, and wanted Sen
ator Voorhees, to go down to the restaurant
with him for refreshments The Indiana
Senator was a little tardy in responding,
when Mr.. Beck said. "Oh, come on, Vor-
hees never mind this civil service reform
now. Look at German sitting in that
chair, presiding over the Senate, and he
used to lie page running around this
floor. And look at old Bassctt, bowling
and scraping to him, when he used to lead
him around by the ear. Amt that civil
service reform enough' Come on, now"
Nj. Beck's argument was convincing, Mr..
Voorhees, yielded without word, and the
two went down stairs. and over Kentucky 5

Civil Service Reform,

Elsewhere will be found fall synopsis
OF the Pendleten civil service reform bill.
as amended and passed by the Senate
The reterm of the many grave abuses that
have been developed in the management
OF this branch of the government service
since the close of the civil! war. is a cues
ton which has taken deep hold on the
public mind, and the order loving people
OF the country, regard ess of political affil-
latlons, are looking with an anxious in
terest to TIE fate of this measure, formu-
lated and set on foot by Senator Pendleton,
in the lower House of the Federal legisla-
ture. The menacilg danger to the liber-
ties OF the people which has been shown
to exist in the organization of the one
hundred thousand salaried employees of
the government into partisan army,
which has been so efectualy done under
the Republican admins ration, has been
at last fully realized by the people, ard
the condemnation of these abuses is recog-
nized as significant factor in the great
political revolution which swept over the
country last fall
This bill of Mr.. Pendleton's, framed %
remedy this great mischief, was iatroduc-
ed into the Senate at the last session Of
Congress; but it was ihen laughed to scorn
by the Republicans in Congress. and Sc
curely pigeon-holed in one Of the commit
tee rooms. But SO effectuaiy has the az
rogauce of the leaders of that party been
Inundated by the tidal wave of popular
rehuke VIII CHI swept over the country at
the last election, that the bill has becn
again brought to light at the present SEES
sion. and no dissenting voice to its pas
sage, on the Republican side of the SEN
ate, is shown by the record
In the House, however, there is q man
ifest disposition on the par. of the Repub-
lican leaders to dodge the issue Mr..
kasson, chairman Of the committee t.
which the bill VII be referred IN the
House, has already made an effort to avoid
and impair the force of his sweeping
measure by the introduction of bill tor
the same ostensible purpose, which failed
in many respects to meet the requirements
of true reform and was manifestly only
sham measure. The House refused to con-
slider Mr.. kasson's BILL preferring t. wait
for the Senate bill and act upon that 1t
is feared that Mr. kassons committee will
report The bill in the House with amend
ments shearing it OF its best features and
seriously impairing its efficiency, winch
will result in the defeat OF the measure
The Democrats of the Senate have fully
discharged their duty in regard to this
measure, and their attitude upon the ques-
ton, arising as it does whole atmosphere
aoove the low political morals which have
found place in the past two decades, even
in that once august body. the Ssnate,
cannot fail OF having a most favorable ei-
feet upon the country. 1t i, hoped that
the Democrats in the House will not be
found wanting in the support OF this most
benefici i measure.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher made free
trade speech before the Brooklyn Revenue
Club on Wednesday evening. The ply
mouth pastor saia that protectionists were
always wanting protection 20 enable them
to compete with somebody in the produc-
ton of something. They could not be
satisfied with developing the great re-
sources that were at hand all around them
but they wanted to compete with some
thing afar off There were some protec-
tionists who even proposed to raise trop-
ical fruits better and cheaper here than
the same fruits could be raised in the tro-
pics. In other words, they proposed to
compete with old Soils best work by rails
ing fruit uader glass house, if they only
had protection. Mr.. Beecher said that if
foreign ministers kept coming over to
this country to compete with the native
article he should 60 in for high tariff on
ministers. Seriously, Mr.. Beecher said
the question to be considered by all in
telligent and patriotic citizens was whe-
ther under The false pretense of tariff we
should continue to pour millions and mil
lions of dollars into the hands of gigantic
monopolies.

The New Years reception of President
Arthur was brought to sad and unsx-
pected close by the sudden death, in one
of the parlors of the mansion, of the Hon.
Elisha II. Allen, envoy to the United
States from the Hawaiian Islands. Mr..
Allen had only few moments before his
death shaken hands with the President
and presented the diplomatic corps. His
death was attributed by the doctors in
attendance TO rheumatism of the heart
Mr.. Allen was native of the State of
Massachusetts,, and was once represen-
tative in Congress from Maine. He was
sent by President Taylor as consul to Ha-
wall in 1858, and afterwards identified
himself with that government. He was
elevated to the position of chief justice of
the Kingdom, which he held for a long
time. More recently he was sent as envoy
to the United States, and was acting in
that capacity when he died. He was IS
years of age.

The United States Senate WAS in a work
ing mood last week, and supplement ed
Mr.. Pend eton's civil service reform bill
by the passage, without single amend
nen', of the bill reported from the judi
ciary committee prohibiting political as
sessments. The bill, which is not per
haps as comprehensive as the people de-
mand, is still 10 the right direction, and
as such should pass the lower hou and
receive the signature of the President
The bill, in effect, provides that no per
son in the service of the government shall
solicit or receive or be in any manner IN
cerned in soliciting or receiving any sub
scription or contribution for political pur-
poses from any employe of The United
States; that no person shall in any room
or building occupied in the discharge of
official duties Ivy any officer or employe of
the United Sta:es solicit or receive any
contribution for any political purpose
whatever; that no such officer or employe
of the United States shall discharge or
promote or degrade. or in any manner
change the official rank Or compensation
of any other officer or empoye, or promise
or threaten so to do, by reason of any vote
such officer or employe has given or with
held at any political election, or for Civ
ing or withholding or negIscting.to make
any contribution for any political purpose:
and that no officer, clerk or other person
in the service OF the United shall give to
any other person in the service Of the
United States or to any member OF either
house of Congress, any money or other
valuable thing to be applied to the pro-
motion of any political object whatever.
Conviction of the violation of any provi-
sion of the act is made punishable by
fine not exceeding five thousand dol ars,
or by Imprisonment for term not ex-
ceeding three years. The bIl also repeats
section 6 of the act of 1876, with the pro-
viso, however, that "this repeal shall not
affect he prosecution and punishment of
any offenses committed against the said
section" If the two bills which have
passed tie Senate shall become laws, the
results of the November ection will have
accomplished much in the way Of reform.

Friday Morning, January 5, 1888.

The custom Of New Year calls promises

breach than observance" in the Northern
cities. In New York and Philadelphia
there was perceptible decrease in the
number of cal ers as we'll as those keeping
"open house," and few ladies even took
the trouble to hang out baskets. There
was very little dressing, comparatively, in
honor of the day, and the refreshments
generally were of the simplest character.
The day was mads the occasion for family
reunions and gatherings of particularly
intimate friends,
