At the Tewksbury hearing today Mrs.
Catherine Moran of Lawrence, a second
hand clothing dealer, testified THAI she bought
a large quantity of sbawls, coats, dresses,
etc., from the Marshes, hut they belonged TO
the officials who sold them. and in no case
had she bought what she believed was pauper
clothing.
Dr. Edward Bacon was at Harvard Medical
School from rs 10 rs, and had taken human
skins to be tanned.
Brown said the Governor hid failed to coz
meet the tanning of skins with Tewksbury,
and he protested against the introduction OF
such evidence. Witness shed no new light
on the subject.
Mrs. Mary Walker. another old clothes
dealer, testified, but SAID she had not dealt
with the Marshes except one, and had no
reason to believe they came from Tewksbury.
Chas. Mar.h took the stand, and the Gov
ernor asked if all the books had been pro-
duced.
Witness said he had found a number OF
books relating to the institution in closets,
OF which he had previously known nothing,
and never seen before. He explained his
method of recording property OF the inmates,
and said all he had received was recorded.

Ex-senator COnkling Unhappy.

There is no doubt that ex Senator Conk-
ling is unhappy over the political situation
A speech which he made last Saturday
night at a club meeting in New York dis
closed his feelings. He takes a very
gloomy view of politics. He thinks the
national republican convention which NOM
mated Garfield put the country back ten
years, and that things have been growing
upon some OF the delegates to the Chicago
convention. who he says were under obi
cation TO vote for Grant and refused to do
so in the convention. He is quite certain
the country is going democratic next time
Evidently he hopes if may. a more child
ish. petulant, foolish speech has not been
uttered in long time by any person who
aspires to be leader in politics In no.
ticing his remark that the country was put
back ten years by the Chicago convention
the Tribune says:
"Several things were, indeed. put
back as the result of the Chicago con-
vention, but the country was not one of
them.
The third term conspiracy was put
back.
The unit rule was put back.
The boss system was put back.
The snap primary plan of turning out
instructed delegates was put back.
The attempt to throttle district represen-
tation was put back.
The machines in New York and Penn
sylvania were put back.
The idea entertained by sundry gentle
men that they carried the party in their
collective breeches pockets was put back.
The impression that was rapidly making
Roadway that government of the people by
the people was played out was put back
These were some of the leading things
that were put back as the result of that
great convention. And by so much as
they were put back. and have been kept
where they were put. the country has adj
vanced politically since the day when the
beloved and admired Garfield was nom-
mated

The Civil Service Rules.

The civil service rules which have been
adopted by the commission and sanctioned
by the President, are disappointing to those
who anticipated list of nonsensical re-
quirements Of applicants for office. In the
main the rules are sensible in terms. Their
practical operation remains to be proved.
The tests are described as follows:
ut is provided that the open competi-
tive examinations for applicants for adj
mission to or promotion in the public SER
vice shall be practical, and shall have re-
gard, as far as may be, TO the special duties
required. The general examinations for
admission are limited to penmanship, copy
ing and leiter-writing; arithmetic, funda-
mental rules, fractions and percentage !;
interest, discount and elements of book
keeping and Of accounts; elements of the
English language. especially photography
and the proper construction of sentences;
and elements OF the geography, history
and government of the United States.
The applicant must attain at least s. per
cent. in the first three groups OF sub
iects, and at least 80 per cent. in the
last two. The commission is empow
cred TO limit the examination to the first
two groups OF subjects, in competition tor
places in which lower degree of educa-
ton will suffice, or 10 hold higher grade
examinations as test OF fitness for spec
ial place or branch of the service. No
disclosure is to be allowed of the religious
or political opinions oil applicants; but
every applicant is required to make oath
10 sundry facts. among them age, moral
character, health, capacity, and quaitica-
ton under the clause forbidding the APP
pointment of any person habitually using
intoxicating beverages to EXCESS. For the
classified postal service applicants must
not De under l6 or over 30 years, for the
classified customs service or the classified
service at Washington they must not be
under Is or over A years, and no one I'M
der Il years can be examined for Gus
toms inspector. The maximum limitations
of age do not apply in the case of persons
honorably discharged from the army and
naval service during the last war, and
otherwise qualified.
1t will be remembered that the Pendle-
ton bill applies only to establishments
where 30 or more officials are employed.
This gives only IL custom-h houses and %
post offices to be governed by the rules,
and besides these the departments al
Washington are also under the system.
The methods of appointment are for the
three names standing highest on the list of
the examining board to be sent to the OIL
Ger having the appointing power, from
which three he makes his selection. This
does not bring the appointment very closely
to the test of merit, rs shown by the exami-
nation. The first appointment is for six
months only, at the end of which time the
appointment is made absolute if the pro-
bationer gives satisfaction.

lie says the required examinations of CON-
panies by an aetuary has not been made tor
several years and it is not known what their
condition is. OF his own knowledge he is
aware of one or two companies not in sound
condition. He says there is not sufficient
force in the insurance department for the
necessary examination. and not funds enough
for the employment of extra officials. He
recommends change in the law so that
funds enough can be appropriated to carry
on this necessary business Of the State, or
the creation of new office Of actuary with
