nexpedient TO act cautiously in this matter and
IN all similar cases, till il mastered the situa-

sven if Mr.. Pearson was supplanted on the ex-
piration Of his commission by a democrat that
the President was abandoning his civil service
ideas. The Office is one OF the most important
under the government, far more important than
many department positions where a change is
expected as Il matter of course. There is an ex-
treme TO be avoided In civil service theories as

The Dolphin.

Attorney General Garland has decided that
the government is not bound to take the dis.
patch boat Dolphin, built by John Roach
under contract with ex-Secretary Chandler
Mr.. Garland holds that the contract is not
valid because it is not in compliance with the
Act of Congress under which the vessel was
authorized and that the vessel does not come
up to the specifications in regard to speed and
strength. Secretary Chandler, it is held
had no right to contract for any kind of ves-
sci except one to be built in accordance with
the law, and John Roach, in. entering into
such contract, did so at his own risk The
Dolphin was intended for a swift dispatch
boat, but turns out to be slow, and besides
is said to be so weak in structure that it
would be dangerous to fire heavy gun from
her.
Contractors will perhaps understand from
this little episode that in making contracts
with the government they must first find out
what is wanted and then do it. Mr.. Chandler,
unfortunately for himself, staked his fate on
the acceptance of the Dolphin by the govern
ment, and having lost, some curiosity is felt
as to what he is going to do about it. Mr..
Roach can turn the Dolphin into coal vessel
Perhaps she might then resist collision with
other coal vessels and thus escape the fate
of the poor old Tallapoosa.
