WILL the President insist on enforcing the
civil-servioe law9 Probably not, for it has
been discovered" that that law effectualy
shuts out every ex-confederate soldier. Sec
ton 7, under the head Application Paper, y
prescribes the limits of age for entering the
service as follows: "For the postal service,
not under sixteen nor over thirty-five; for the
customs service, not under eighteen nor over
forty-fve." This is calculated to dampen the
ardor of some several thousand ex-oonfeder-
ates, though the revelation seems to have had
the effect of setting them Oh fire. The civil
service law will have TO go.

A NEWSPAPER which is determined to be
pleased with every move and feature of the
new administration, admiringly describes
Attorney general Garland as a plain, matter
of-fact man, who calls Arkansas "Arkansaw,"
and spits on the floor. AS an instance of his
'splainness" it tells how he bundled out Of his
Office the Turkish rugs and handsome tables
which had been Dir. Brewsters choice in the
way of furnishings. This disregard of luxu-
ries is evidently held by the correspondent to
be mark of true greatness and possibly the
correspondent is right. 1t is not every tobac-

upthe rugs in order to get chance to spit on

not personal, but an official recognition that
is denied. The dignifed neutrality of the
