CIVIL SERVICE.
A New Rule for Its Regulation and Improve
mcnt.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.--The President has
issued the following special rule for the
regulation and improvement Of the civil
service:
"The special rule number 2, approved
July IS, 1884, Is hereby revoked. All appli-
Giants on any registers for postal or customs
next shall have been thereon one year or
more, shall, in conformity with rule 10, be
no longer eligible for appointment for such
register. The special rule which is now
revoked, provided that the names of those
persons on the registers of the Commits iou
eligible for appointment prior to July 10,
1884, should not be taken off at the end of
the year of being entered thereon, but
should remain on the registers as eligible
for appointment for two years from that date
without further notice or examination"

A NEW SURVEYOR GENERAL

An item which was floating around In the
Eastern papers some days age, and believed
TO be an error, proves to be correct. Benja.
min ii. Green, Of Louisiana, is appointed
Surveyor General Of Montana. This, in the
face of the National Democratic platform
that offices In the Territories should be
filled by citizens Of the Territories, and In
face OF the fact that Col. w. w. de Lacy 10
eminentiy qualified by efficiency, capability,
experience, long residence, high character,
and practically the universal endorsement of
Montana for the position, lie . thunderbolt
In the Democratic ranks OF Montana. Pres
ident Cleveland has ignored the clearly ex-
pressed principle Of the party, and, unless
there has been treachery, the wishes Of the
Democratic leaders Of Montana, to serve q
personal friend Of Secretary Lamar and hu.
initiate q worthy Montsnian. There Is no
excuse or paliation for this. We believe
Col. de Lacy was the peer or superior Of any
man who could have been appointed. He

sional influence. President Arthur had
some excuse for disregsrding the Republican
platform, because II was framed to control
the policy Of his successor and the Conyen-
tion was not friendly to him. Bot Cleye-
land was nominated by the Convention that
framed bis platform, and he accepted 1t.
Now he repudates Its instructions on mat

giving US carpet-bag administration In the

Sir: The evidence taken In the lnvestig ation
made by the former Director of the Mint
into the charges preferred against you by
John p. Donaldson was referred to the So
licitor of the Treasury.
In bis report to me he states that the testi-

concur In the conclusion reached by him,
and have SO notified the Director of the
Mint. Very respectfully,
G. S. FAIRCHILD, Acting Secretary.
X. B. Harrison, Helena, Montana.
Under this condition of affairs, and the
civil service attitude alleged to be occupied
by Cleveland's administration, Mr.. Harrison
was therefore safe in his position until the
expiration Of his term. Having stood the
fire test, he then resigned, and Mr.. Braden,
said to be . very competent man, was ap-
pointed In his stead. This result is attribu-
ted to the fact that DR.. q. G. Swallow and
Charles Rumley, OF Montana, had each
strong following urging their respective "a
vortes for the position. President Cleve-
land solved the issue by appointing an out
slider. We do not think the President Is at
all carrying out the declarations of his party
platform in appointing carpet baggers simply
because there happens to be two candidates
for an Office In Montana. 1t was his duty,
under the plank Of the Chicago platform, to
appoint . Montana man to the Montana
Office, If competent and worthy one could
be found. Mr.. Rumley certainly filed both
these requirements, and doubtless DR.. Swal.
low, If lacking in special qua lifications,
would have soon acquired them. 1t was the
Presidents duty to have ascertained which
was the better man and to have appointed
him. The pretext for appointing an outsider
is very fimsy.

pointed to succeed r. B. Harrison as Assayer-
in-Charge Of the U. 8. Assay office at Helena
is Hoosier, and friend Of Vice President
Hendricks, to whose influence his appoi Mt
ment is due. The Vice President took great
interest In the fight over the Helena Assay
office, from the fact that he and Senator
Harrison tR. B. Harrison's father are not
the best friends in the world, and their
wives have for years been on very unfriendly
terms from social rivalry in the National
Capitol. Thus the appointment of warm
friend of the Hendricks family to succeed
son of the Harrisons in an important office
was sweet revenge, rendered all the more
satisfactory, coming, as it did, at the end of
long and bitter fight.
The new Assayer is young man of about
q years. He is, strange as it may seem for
an American, graduate of an English mill
tary school. He has for the past six months
been Assayer-in-Charge of the Government
Office at Boise City, Idaho, where he last
spring succeeded a man who was removed

No semblance of clothing Is worn, and diet
is practically confined to spontaneous pro.
