The president said, "Wo wish to call upon
all fair-mindcd men TO employ only first class
workmen. There can be no harmony between
capital and labor while certain men set them
selves in defiance against all honest laborers
All tradesmen must be respected in their sew

with us understand the trades unions, but
when they do they will act differently, and
we will no doubt receive their support. Tho

of the tailors. He made violent speech

HOW TO CHOOSE A CHIEF EXAMINER.
TO he Etit0r.

For several weeks past the newspapers have
furnished us daily with the current rumors
concerning the appointment Of chief civil
service examiner. 1t appears, however that
the civil service commissioners, to whom the
President has delegated the selection of their
chief aid-de-camp, have not yet reached an
opinion respecting the relative merits Of tho
different candidates, From a recently pub
lished interview with one of the commits
sioners we learn that perhaps "A month may
yet elapse ere final choice be made.
Now, it has occurred to me, and no doubt TO
many others, that there lies right at tho
threshold of their work a splendid oppOrtu.
nifty for the commissioners to demonstrate the
practicablity OF, and their own faith in, the
reform idea by the prompt application of the
competitive principle to the selection of their
own subordinates, thereby proving beyond the
possibility of question their own sincerity in
the advocacy of reform. Consistency at this
juncture will do much TO disarm adverse
criticism, and cannot fail to win for the COM
missioners the personal respect Of those even
who dispute the expediency of competitive
examinations, But should they proceed ly

THE DETECTIVE SCANDAL.

oLcary and Murphy Not Yet Before Tn.
Grand Jury - DInntL and smith Not
Caught.
Messrs, O'Leary and Murphy did not appear
before the grand jury yesterday, but Murphy
had long interview with the district attor-
ney. 1t is believed that both these men in
tend leading honest lives, abandoning the
practices which brought them into trouble,
and returning to work at their trades. Should
they do this they can regain the respect
Of the community and become useful citizens.
The stories told by these men, which led to
the investigation into the corruptons of the
detective force were told voluntarily and
without any promise of reward. Whatever
evidence they may now give before a jury is
entitled to full weight, without any of the
reproach or insinuations that could have been
made If their sentences had been served to
their full term.
Mantz and Smith, two of the indicted mon,
are still at large. If the statements made as
to Smith still being in the city are true, IL is
probable that he will shortly be captured.
As to Mantz, after the recent effort TO hunt
for him with a brass band and brigade of
bailifs, it is not likely that the expert
ment will again be tried soon. At
the present rate of assignments it will be
some time before the detective cases will be
reached, although public sentiment demands
that they should be brought up for trial at
the earliest possible moment, and when they
do come up IL is probable some measures wil
be taken to secure Mr.. Mantzs attendance
1t is believed that the chairman of tho clti-
zens' committee will to-day wait upon the
commissioners and present the resolutions
passed by that committee in reference t.
reorganization of the police force. The nee
essty for this action has already been shown
in THE REPUBLICAN, and the interviews will

"UNcJE BEN's" LOGIC.
TO he Editor.


Your communication from &C" on "money
changers" seems to me rather severe on those
whom he calls "cormorants bloodsuckers !"
&c. Now, L have no doubt that &c" can
look on quietly and see his noighbor deal in
other articles, such as meats butter, teas, to-
bacco, drugs, and oven whisky, without being
at all enraged at his making from 10 to 80
cents per annum on his dollar. He says:
There are numbers of intelligent worthy
gentlemen, with wives and children, who are
compelled to borrow of these bloodsuckers,
who for years have fattened on the necessities
Of government clerks and Others" Now, the
profits on all articles are governed by "neces-
stiles" or demand in comparison to supply,
and If man chooses to deal in money rather
than to spend it for the above named articles
and sell them for the same profits that he
would make on his money If lent he no more
fattens on necessities" in one case than in
the other. &c" is evidently one of our too
many government clerks who live beyond
their means. Otherwise his sympathies would
have gone out to laborers and mechanics who
get but from 81 to SO a day Of ten hours
bone and sinew work instead of breaking
his heart over government clerks whose pay
is from "a to $40 for n day OF but seven hours,
with thirty of those days given them annually
rs "leave," with pay thrown in. Now, if
G, who is lin the tolls of these harpies," and is
giving himself monthly us food for "blood-
suckers" will only curtail his expenses down
to those Of the laborer and mechanic he will
soon free himself from the talons of these
"cormorants," and avoid being "called beforD
his secretary or chief clerk with "fear and
trembling" There is sometimes an excuse
for a wOrkingman, n tradesman, or n mcr-
chant to run beyond his means by reason OF
overestimating what his earnings will be
but for a government clerk, who knows to a
cent what his pay will be AT "the end of the
month";" to voluntarily throw himself into the
tolls of the money changers" and then COM
plain because he is held to his bargain, looks
very, very foolish. UNCLE BEN.

electing their own officials many awkward
queries may arise in the minds OF those who
desire TO ee fair chance afforded TO the
competitive system. Upon what argument
can the commissioners justify themselves in
forcing upon the heads Of departments a sys-
tenn which they decline TO impose upon
themselves2 Are they more capable than
the secretary Of the treasury for instance Of
making proper choice of subordinates? II
competition results in giving the service u
better class Of clerks, why will it not prove
equally eflcacious in furnishing superior
chief examiner If IL be sauce for tho de-
partment goose why isn't it sauce for the COM
missioner's gander?
The commissioners will never have q better
opportunity than is now afforded them Of
proving their faith in the doctrine of reform
by competitive examination, and of strength
ening the confidence of tho friends of the
movement in its ultimate success.

DIR. RANKIN's ARGUMENT.
To the EdikOr.

Does your quotation on the sixteenth from
the Rev. DIR, Rankin show or mean that he is
for female suffrage? Or did he "put his foot
in II" when he quoted section 1, article 10, of
the constitution, thus: " The right of citizens
of the United States to vote shall not be dc.
MED or abridged by the United States" After
which he asks "Who are the citizens of tho
United States" And adds Let article H.
section /, answer this question, An persons
born or natuTalized in the United States 3"
Now, did he mean that these articles, il cur.
ried out, would only restore suffrage to the
10000 persons of this district Or was he ar
guing In favor Of 25,000,000 of other persons
throughout this land Of equality and freedom ?

WAsHINeToN, d. c., March lowell done.
The article in your issue Of this date, in
which &c" so ably handles and uncovers the
iniquitous plunderers who have been robbing
government employees at the rate of 2, 3, 5,
and 10 per cent. per month for the use OF
money for years past meets with the hearty
applause ofall honest people. Now, lett the heads
Of our great departments when the shylocks
present" employees, ask "What interest has
this clerk been paying you2" If it is ascer-
tanned that usury was practiced fire" him
right straight out. No compromise with the
rascal. This great government should never
countenance or tolerate, let alone protect,
these bloodsuckers. Those fellows in gov
ernment employ who are fattening on the
necessities of their fellow.clerks should be
bounced" with the balance Of the gang.
