to your business carefully and conscien-

know how honest and capable our people
are. They will find ere long that however
superior they may be to us in the arts Of
war and of machinery, we still can teach
them lessons in that morality and fair play
which in the long run rule the world. L

Growers in Washington.
| WASHINGTON, July 20th.-The many pro-
| nOn m 10 thrpn wppSS
in the various Departments of the Govern
ment in Washington have caused consid-
cradle growing among the employees of
| several of the Departments. Complaints
are made that in the selection of clerks for
promotion the civil service rules have been
entirely ignored and favoritism and politi-
cal influence have secured promotions in
| many cases of persons whose records in SUI
coordinate positions have been bad, and who
are totally unfit and incapable of perform
ing satisfactorily the duties of the higher
grade of service to which they have been
promoted. 1t is also charged that in pro-
motions ex-Soldiers have been neglected,
and that in one of the Bureaus of the Treas
ury Department men who remained at
home and drew their salary from the Gov
eminent during the late war have been pro-
noted over the heads of one-armed and
one-legged veterans, who were just as COM
petent to fill the positions as the men Sc
lected. The Department officials claim TO
have made all the promotions under the
civil service rules The GROWERS are afraid
to come out publicly and make their
charges, claiming that they would risk
their positions by so doing, and content
themselves with " kicking through the
columns of the daily press over fictitious
names.
Pendleton and Hendricks.
WASHINGTON, July 20th.-Senator Pendlc-
ton was interviewed the other day by an
| Associated Press reporter, and the main
portion of the interview was devoted to
quoting from Hendricks expressions of
| former days with regard to civil service re-
form 1t has been suggested that Pendle-
| ton did this not without malice; that, in
fact himself overthrown by the Democracy
of Ohio for his civil service reform views,
| he determined to force the Democratic can
didate for Vice President into an unquali-
fled approval Of precisely similar views.
He has apparently succeeded, as
Hendricks, who was interviewed yes
| terday, comes squarely forward
| and gives expression to views of civil SER
vice reform almost exactly as quoted by
Pendleton. 1t can hardly be doubted that
Hendricks has not done this with any too
great willingness. He would have pre-
ferred doubtless to have not caused any
discussion of his views on this question, as
a pronounced civil service reformer of the
Pendleton style, and does not expect much
favor with that part of the party who want
offices. Pendleton, however, has gained
his point, and the Democrats OF Ohio must
either publish that inconsistency by sup
porting candidate for Vice-President who
holds views for which they discarded Pen
dletcn or treat that candidate as they
| treated Pendleton.
