unworthy or inefficient while In office.
Und, the provisions of the bill the secretary
of sta.e, whose ideas Of foreign policy might
be totally opposite to those Of the executive,
must be retained by him, and thisthough the
senate should concur In the propriety Of APP
pointing another in his place. Under the
existing statutes preference in appointment
is given to many Of the class Of persons
named in the bill, and the pur-
poses of these statutes would, If
literally construed, be carried out by
retaining such persons in Office when their
general fitness was apparent or when the
proper objects of the executive could best be
carried out by so doing, but to provide that the
executive shall retain in Office any person
when he may think that some other person
Is better fitted to administer the trust is, in
our opinion, unwise and unconstitutional.
Public Office must be regarded as trust aud
not as mere reward for past services, how
ever merituri1us, and present usefulness
should be the test in the incumbent. Your
committee report the bill back. adversely and
recommend that it do not pass.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Despite the denial
Of Mr.. Gregory, who is the only member Of
the civil service commission now in the city,
it is known that members Of the aristocratc
board have recommended to the president a
new classification Of civil service which will
include every officer of the United States not
nominated By the president and confirmed
by the senate In its lists The president now
has the matter under consideration aud it is
expected before be goes out of the
Office to issue such orders to the
heads Of the executive departments
as will provide for the new classification.
The civil service law provides that no person
shall be eligible as au applicant for admis-
sion In the civil service who is over forty-fve
years of age. The effect of this provision Is
to make ineligible all soldiers who fought for
the Union In the war, for the reason that
nearly all such have attained years beyond
the prescribed limit. II Is in direct conflict
with the law which provides that soldiers
shall have preference in matters of appoint
ments.

make the assertion that congress will not
pass any more bills at this session save the
regular bills Of appropriation for the support
Of the government This means the passing
Of the educational bill, the Mexican pension
bill, and that all Of the diplomatic treaties
which have been regulated by the state de-
partmept will fail OF passage. The temper
OF the house has in the last few days been un =
mistakably shown as against any legislation
on any subject save the money bills. There
The appropriations committee OF the
house will have all these money bills ready
to report early in February. The house is
willing To 90 to work upon them, to the
jeopardy OF other measures which are press
ing. The most important bill which prom
Uses to fail is the one which passed toe senate

that the south would much prefer to have the

WASHINGTON, Jan S1.-The visits Of
Messrs. Randall and Carlisle and Vice Presi-
dent elect Hendricks to President elect
Cleveland at Albany have created ripple on
the political surface here. 1t is stated that
after the visits of Senators Bayard and Gar
land, who went on their own motion, it was
decided to change that plan. Speaker Carlisle
was invited as the highest official representa-
tive of the Democratic party. Randall was
invited because President elect Cleveland
recognized that he represented a large ele-
ment in the faction opposed to Speaker Car
Isle. These two invitations, then, were in
tended as tributes to the position of two men
in the party and are not to be construed as
evidence that either will have personal infu-
ence in the designation of the cabinet.
Mr.. Cleveland was also guided in part
in the selection Of these two gentlemen
by the well known fact that neither would
accept cabinet Office. It is also said that
Mr.. Hen bricks was summoned to Albany by
telegraph by Gov. Cleveland in order that the
three official representatives of Democracy
might consult before the conference at New
York next week. The conference promises

the bill to prohibit the removal Of any honor
ably discharged Union soldier, sailor or
marine, or widow, or dependent relative Of
any deceased Union soldier, sailor OF marine

The Power of Cap tain Eads.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Some members
of the house after an examination Of the
river and harbor bill, expressed the opinion
that 1t was prepared to a con siderable extent
in the interest OF Capt. jams B. Eads. In
addition to providing s., 900 annual salary
for his service as director of Galveston harbor
aud SIC, 900, 900 job with a gratuity Of
$4,000 when he has gained twenty-five feet
OF depth, 1t proposes TO make him practical
dictator over the Mississippi river commits
sion. After appropriating $500, 900 for con
tinuing the improvement, it says that this
sum, together with the sums appropriated
for the Mississippi river from Drs Moines
rapids to the mouth OF the Ohio, shall
be expended under the direction Of the sec
rotary of war, according TO
the plans of the Mississippi river
com mission, but this is to be- done "as ap-
proved by an advisory engineer of said COM
mission, which Office Is hereby created said
advisory engineer to be appointed by the
president at q salary Of SO, 500 per anuum, and
JAS. B. Eads is hereby recommended 10 the
president for that position" Should this
then become law, aud the president should
fill the newly created Office with the person
named, he would be master Of the river works
from Iowa to the gulf at a salary of IS, 500 a
year, arising from his double employment.
The arguments employed by Capt. Eads to
recommend him TO such favorable consldera-
ton by the river and harbor commission have
not been ascertalued. There has been no
other Instance of tue orstowal of such marked
favor TO one person in many congresses.
