He was asked If he was in his position when Mr.
Lincoln took charge OF affairs in 1861.
''Yes sir it is true" he replied, land I was

There were good many changes, it is true,
and some removals, also.'
What do you mean by changes and re-
movals'l'
you must remember" replied the old officer,
that we were just on the eve OF the Rebellion
at that tina, and these departments were
crowded with traitors. Hundreds of these men
either entered actively into the Rebellion as
officers OF the confederate army-for they were
Southern gentlemen, or the sons of leading
traitors. and it would not suit to serve as vulgar
prlvates'-or they worked in the cause of the
Confederacy the outside. Of course new and
loyal men had to be appointed to fill the
vacancies. Then there were hundreds more who
refused to take the oath of loyalty to the
government, and they asked to resign, to
give place to men who would take the OATH By
the time these two classes of traitors were
weeded out it almost made clean sweep in some
quarters. In fact, in some of the larger divis-
ions there were only two or three meE left to
run the machine. Then the vast increase in the
business of most of the departments. caused by
the opening of the war, required the immediate
filling of all vacancies and, soon as legisla-
ton could be procured authorizing it, a vast in
crease had to be made in the rosters of all, or
nearly all, the departments"
Sin filing the positions thus created were
the loyal Democrats Disseminated against"
Not at all. Only four requisites were de-
manded of candidates for places in the civil
service of the government-honesty, capacity,
faithfulness, loyalty If the appointing power

Then you think that if all the clerks who

Is it 9fbloody shirt" to make inquest for this
suppressed voter Why were these 1900
votes silenced in November last9

PoPE LEO evidently has the United States
of America in mind when he says, in his latest
encyclical letter concerning the relations of
church and state, that the church approves Of
liberty, and that, so far from being jealous of
modern political systems, it is in favor of
whatever things in the state chiefly avail
for the common safety; whatever have been
usefully instituted against the license of
princes, consulting all the interests of the
people; whatever forbid the governing author
ity to invade into municipal or domestic
affairs; whatever avail to preserve the dignity
and the character of man in preserving the
equality of rights in individual citizens.
His Holiness, however, does not strike so true
a keynote when he exhorts the faithful to re-
newed efforts in the political world. America
is one Of the strongholds Of Roman Catholi-
cism, but its strength as church is not the
outgrowth of its influence with the state, but
rather of the religious liberty which is one of
the principles of this government. The sug-
gestion that these relations be changed to
those Of more partisan character is one
which even loyal churchmen, who under
stand the secret of the prosperity they now
enjoy in this country as body and as indi-
viduals, should be slow to favor.

Reasons why Mr.. Randall Will Not Oppose

Reasons Why Mr.. Randall Will Not Oppose
the Proposed Changes.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-'Chairman Randall
will not oppose the proposed change in the rules
of the House which would deprive the appropri-
atoms committee of its great powers mark
that" said one of the Pennsylvanians intimate
friends to day. ''No, lie would not DO it for two
very potent reasons. He would consider it in
delicate and selfish; and he knows the scheme
is impracticable, and would not work if adopted.
1t is only stab at Randall, anyway. No one
but tariff reformer-a political enemy of Mr.
Randall-favors the proposition. If a Carlisle
man was at the head of the committee, the
change of rules would not be talked Of
"How would the change be impracticable in
the eyes of Mr.. Randall" was asked.
''Well suppose the committee on naval affairs
was given the compilation of the navy appropria-
tion military affairs that for the army; invai id
pensions, the pension appropriation, ETC., all
through the list Of twelve or fourteen bills. The
bills would be so increased and would contain
so many jobs that the log-rolling process would
be adopted to secure passage. Any statesman
knows that could not be worked for more than
two or three bills till there would be dead
lock, row, a throatcutting ARRAY, and the party
in power would 60 to pieces in day. Mr Ran
dali believes the scheme the most unfeasible of
any suggested by members of his party and it
will not succeed"

so that it will get good position on the calen-

more towards making or breaking a proposition
of this character than dozen senators On the
