WHAT THE PRESIDENT CT THE CIVIL sERvICF
ASSOCIATION SAYS ABOUT THE ADMlNISTRA
TION.
MIR. George William Curtis, in his annual ad
dress Us president Of the National League Civil
Service association, at Newport yesterday, says
"Under this administration there have been
violations of sound principle, but these are moi
necessarily proofs of treachery or hostility
When. therefore, we are considering what has
been gained for reform upon the whole, the
word Higgins is by no means q conclusive re.
mark. The Higgins appointment, indeed, was
signal illustration of the abuse that we would
correct. 1t was the appointment OF person
publicly and responsib1y accused of disreputa
BILE political practices, the explanation Of which
if there be one. Is not known, and an appoint
ment made mainly at the request OF u Senator
arequest which Is in itself gross otfense, and
which experience and reason show to be
made presumably for personal and not
for public purpOse-a practice which pro
notes the most hagrant corruption. This
is the Higgins case, and know no satisfac
tory explanation Off 1t is the ordinary case
under the spoils system, yet it is now made the
occasion of especial and continuous remark
II, however,it fairly illustrated the general
practice OF the administration 1t would not he
singular. Certainly the severest censors would
not assert that the Higgins appointment is OF
a kind unparalleled under other administers
tions; and to ailege that it is peculiarly often
sive under democratic ascendancy is to con-
ccde what is, OF course, not intended, that more
repubican ESeco,iva amt the , tta so ~
Higgins, and the whole Higgins school of APP
pOintments, although absolutely inconsistent
creancy to reform 80 much as the infinitely
more significant and important instances OF
Pearson. Graves, Burt and others prove fidelity
to REFORM"
Mr.. Curtis considered the question Of re,
movais for offensive partisanship, which he
thought good ground for removal, and In sup.
port Of 1t cited the circular of Albert Gallatin,
Secretary OF the Treasury under Jefferson, and
Daniel Webster, Secretary Of State under Har.
risOn, when substantially the same doctrine Of
off c4~ pff Ism 1CHf
nounced. Mr.. Curtis, however, criticised the
clean sweep made In the claims bureau OF the
should be pursued In other departments the
civil service reform sentiment OF the country
would be arrayed against the administration.
MIR. Curtis depreeafed the removal Of satisfnc-
tory tncumbeEts even at the end Of their terms,
ana urged the repeal Of the four-yeary law.
MI, Curtis concluded by paying high tribute
complished for reform during his administra-

POstn,:sster Jones Vindicnted.

HE TALKED INDIsCREETLY BUT MEANT NO
DIsREsPECT TO CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Commissioner Thoman and Chief Examiner
Lyman, of the civil service commission, having
at the request OF the commission gone to Indian
apolis and Investigated the charges against
Postmaster Aquila Jones of violating the civil
service laws, have submitted report upon the
case TO the President. The report concludes
that the postmaster made no appointment or
removal in violation of the civil service laws
The evidence showed that the postmaster in
movals and appointments according to u theory
Ot political discrimination quite repuynant to
the spirit and letter of the rules. Such decar,i-
tons very naturally awakened dstrust and a
suspicion that his action had been in accord
ance with his words. These facts naturally re-
suited in the presentation of the charges. 1t is
due to the postmaster 10 state that he declares
himself not to have been well informed as To
the full effect OF the rules in regard to political
and that what he stated as to selecting those
OF his own party and rejecting those Of the other
had reference TO places not to be filled through
the examinations. The report adds that there
Is no evidence showing that there was any
cheating attempted at the examination or any
Injustice done, and therefore they find no re.,-
son for disturbing the examination.
"AND YET HE IS NOT HAPPY"
Mr.. Jones, notwithstanding his vindication
by the civil service commission, is said to be
still i'm hot water. He Is about seventy-four
years old and o democrat Of the old school, who
"new-iangied civil service ideas.R He is said aid
to be one of the 'best fellows in the world, -
always very generous. His inability TO refuse
anything To his friends, of whom he had many,
led him into many promises before he got his
appointment, which he found, when II was too
late, he could not fulfil. When he got his ap-
pointment he found that nearly all the patron
age under him was locked up In the civil SER
vice safe, and while he could "turn the rascals
out ne could not put his friends Ia. From
that moment, 1t is sud, his friends began TO
grow cold towards him until now Npny OF

Pittsburg special to the Philadelphia Press

nentlabor leaders to secure an extra session of
Congress for the enactment Of laws to relieve
the condition Of the working people. The move
ment seems general among the leaders, and
will shortly be placed before oil the trades
unions throughout the country. The real
movers in the matter are the editors OF the va
rious newspapers devoted to trades unionism
and antt-mOnOpOly. Within q few weeks the
papers will simultaneously open the agitation,
ana they expect 1t to spread SO rapidly that by
september u petition SO largely signed will be
presented to the President that he will be CONF
PEELED by public opinion to call an extra SEES

anxious to see the session occur Just previous

measures cannot be considered In regular ses-
Sion, because the Congressman and Senators
Will not give them proper attention"

of this city telegraphed to-day To NJ. lie Grand,
minister OF the interior, statement certifying
that the cholera in Marseilles was sporadic
only. This action, however, is known 10 have
been resorted TO Tor the purpose OF concealng
the alarm felt by the council, and To avoid
being held responsible for the neglect OF sani-
tation, which has caused the recurrence OF
cholera i'm the city. The municipal council of
Marseilles are much perpleXed from want of
funds. They have no appropriation available
for expenditure for cholera purposes, and dare
not ask for funds for fear OF creating alarm by
the implied acknowledgment OF the existence
of cholera In epidemic form.
