Report Of Friday Nights Prayer-meetinR.
Mr. Beecher looked more ruddy and robrsA
than usual this evening as he ascended the plat
form in the lecture room in Plymouth Church to
conduct the regular Friday night meeting There
was an unusual lack Of spirit in the discussion
until Mr.. Raymond started to his feet and
rather excitedly charged Mr. Beecher with
having. Systematically and persistently, for
long, long years, taught his congregation
that they ought to do only what they felt
like doing; if they did not want to come TO church
or prayer meeting, why, stay away; il a person
felt like being Roman Catholic or Universal
ist, why. be whichever he or she liked; that Mr..
Beeehcr had never drilled his soldiers and had
neglected his flock through his fear 70 dis please
somebody by a strict discipline. '.lt is NOT
right, said he 'for You to teach the children THAI

he was being arraigned, but when the indict-
ment was ended he was as serene as summer

What President Cleveland Will Propose
When Partisanship Is Weeded Out
Washington Special
Some of the active friends of civilservce re-
form here claim to have obtained within the
last few days new light on the Presidents reform
policy in some very interesting directions. Ac-
cording to these gentlemen, the Presidents advo-
cacy OF a non partisan civil service goes much
further than even the NEST radical reformers
have supposed They assert that every act of
the administration which has beer personally
sanctioned by the President has been in accord
ance with these ideas The President thinks that
the protection cf the civil-service law should be
eventually extended to many classes now exempt
from its provisions He does not believe that
this should be ordered. while nine -tenths of the
employees of the government are Republicans
md large percentage of them appointed on po-
Htical grounds. His attitude is reported to be
that chiefs of divisions, deputy chiefs of bureaus
and all other classes of employees except those
who are personally selected by the heads of de-
partments, should be protected by the civil
service law after the personel of these classes
has been made thoroughly efficient, competent
policy Mr. Cleveland sanctions the re-
movals of chiefs of divisions against whom
any complaint of ineficiency, partisanship,
er neglect of duty is made, and
with his estimate of the inefficiency of existing
organizations he does not doubt that many more
changes soud be made. In some of the de-
partments he is said to believe that fully
half of the employees should be removed for vari
Gus reasons, and that the public service will not
suffer by the substitution of Democrats in their
places In otherdepartments the proportion would
be much smaller. The most advanced civil
service reform principles require. in his opinion,
that only the good men now in the service shall
be protected, and that the incompetent shall be
weeded out, and the service brought to non-
partisan basis before the provisions of the
Civil-seryiee law are extended to other classes.
This policy is understood to have been i'm
pressed upon each member of the Cabinet, and
even in the Treasury Department, where the
removals of chiefs of divisions are giving rise to
so much discussion, it is asserted that none have
been made except on representations that the
officials removed were behind in their work, or
otherwise incompetent. politically offensive.
1t is stated that the President has confdentially
discussed this subject with the Civil-service
Commissioners and prominent reformers, and
frankly asked their aid in carrying out con-
sisteut administrative reform.
