A Washington special to the Oleve-

men are disturbed by the rumor that
the President does not intend alter all to
fully reorganize the Civil Service Commits

upon the members, by producing the
itemizsd expense accounts which the
commissioners returned as vouchers for
their outlays of money while on their OF.

risge whenever he must needsgo about on
official bubiness, nor must he ride in any
thing but smoking car when he takes
train from one city to another.
All candidates for places on the
commission should remember these
points, for they will be raised again as
surely aS Mr.. Cleveland appoints real
friends OF Civil Service reform to places
upon the commission, and that is the ex
pectation In spite OF the howlR raised by
the spoilsmen at the present time. These
same malcontents are not any too well
pleased over the appointment Of the Rev.
Mr.. Curry yesterday to the Spanish mis-;
sion. They think the place should have
been given TO some stalwart Democrat
rather than to clergyman. To crea.e

In their efforts to have him removed, his
enemies have circulated report that he
had his own brother appointed to 0 place
in the Agricultural Bureau without q
Civil Service examination. At first he
drew a salary OF $40 year, and was
promoted to q salary Of 81 200 year. 1t

Signal Corps, wAo,. while stationed at
Pensacola, refused to have any dealings
