An examination of the Civil Service Re-

bill passed by the Senate. as telegraphed

passage, discloses curious and impor-

as the fifth of the declarations to be made
by the rules OF the Civil Service Commits
sion the following: THAT promotions
shall be from the lower grades to the
higher on the basis of merit and compe-

bill in the House Is identical with the bill
that passed the Senate, the clause above
referred to having been struck out in the

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1883-01-27

| .en years ago, the name of Garnet
Wolseley was quite unknown beyond the
limits of the British army. To-day he
is the most distinguished living English
warrior; and we cannot doubt that, at
his age, he may look forward to yet
greater achievements aud higher honors.
II he lives, he is likely to DO 1T least an
earl and field marshal
Lord Wolseley mainly served rs a
staff officer until he won Il general COM
mand, Yet he has been more actively
engaged in warlikc enterprises, and has
seen more active service, than any liv-
ing English soldier, At the age of forty
he found himself II major-gcncral this
being, in The British army, the next
grade above q colonel. He had risen
rapidly from one staff appointment to
another, from assistant engineer to adj
jutant-gcneral; but every promotion vas
awarded As n result OF his ability and
success. and not by reason of wealth OF
social influence.
The world first heard Of him in the
brief. brilliant campaign which he made
seven or eight years ago. in Ashantee.
There he held the chief command OF the
army which so quickly and completely
defeated King Coffee and his sable
forces. Wolscley's conduct of that cam
paign was so signalIy able, that when
the revolt Of Arab broke out in Egypt
N-t summer, he was ri once designated
a. tho man of ali others to Subduc it,
Tho brief Egyptian war is too recent
to need any description. Suffice ii to
say that Gen. Wolsclcy not only con-
firmed, but increased, his military
fame. His plans were comprehensive
and complete, and were carried out to
the letter
Leaving England late in August. he
declared that he would return and dine
at his club on the fifteenth day OF Sep
TENDER.
CuriousIy enough. the battle OF Tel
el-kcbir, in which he utterly demolished
Arab, and ended the war, took place on
