he would change the route a little, and 50
turned down by street. The drummer,

MISS swETT,s CASE.

The Attempt Of Com missioner Black to Re-
move the Chicago Pension a gent.
Haper's Westiy (lfu9TaEtP)
The request Of the Commissioner Of
Pensions for the resignation Of Atisssweet,
Pension agent at Chicago, stated that
there was mo reason personal to yourself
or to the management Of your Office which
induces this request" There:was, then,
according to the Commissioners own
statement, no reason whatever connected
with the public service for making the re-
quest. The resignation was evidently de-
handed for the purpose OF giving the
office and It's patronage TO an officer Of
different political opinions from those
which Miss Sweet presumably holds.
Now upon this point the President def
initely stated his views in his Christmas
letter to the Civil Service Reform League.
He said: "There Is a class Of Govern
ment positions which are not within the
letter Of the civil service statutes, but
which are so disconnected withthe policy
OF an Administration that the removal
thereirom.o the present incumbents, in
my opinion, should be made for the
terms for which they are appointed, solely
on partisan grounds, and f0r. the purpose

politically in accord with the appointing

In a two column article (copyrighted)
inthe New York Tribune Mr.. Wide talks
about the philosophy Of dress. He
talks 80 as to DO easily understood. He
deals little in distractions. He hits the
nail Of practical fact on the head, and hits

for tue service Of humanity; which is
quite opposed to the view Of those fashion
