common consent of those most familiar with
 their practical operation the leading provis-
 ions of the rules and the great principles on
 which the civil service is based have been
 shown to be as consonant
 with sound business methods of ad- m1nlstrat1on as they are with the intelligence, justice and liberty which are the vitality and strength of our institutions. It has thus been made clear that those hay ing charge of the great departments who are most responsible for the we'll doing of the public work, who best know the abuses and who are consequently the best judges of the proper methods of removing them are con- vinced of the utility of the new system and are resolved to enforce it. Indeed, it has been significant feature of the re- form movement from the beginning that it has found its greatest strength, so far officials are concerned, in presidents and ex- ecutive officers who are nearest to and most familiar with the evils of the spells system, notwithstanding the fact that the removal would involve the surrender at the outset of the long enjoyed patronage of these offices; while, on the other hand, the greatest op- position has come from few members of Congress, some State and federal officials and many small politicians who have no such knowledge of the respon sibility of appointments. In other words, those on whom the constitution imposes the duty of securing good administration have been the friends of reform, while those who have most evaded and usurped executive functions have been it's enemies. It was the Presidents Hayes, Arthur and Gar feld-and the best men of their cabinets, together with the postnasters and customs officers at New York city, who before this stood for a reform Dolicy

Chief Arthur Favors Moral Suas1on.
 CHICAGO, March 25.-Mr. P. M. Arthur, chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, who is in Chicago to have a conference with Vice President Potter of the Burlington road regarding the grievances of the engineers on that line, was seen at the Grand Pacific Hotel to-day by United Press reporter Speaking of the result of his labors SO far he said: "We submitted our propositions to Mr.. Potter, but we did not reach an agreement and MT. Potter said we would hear from him by Thursday night and we expect that he will lay his proposi- tions before us today That is where the matter stands am hopeful that we shall
 be able to have this matter amicably adjust ed. I believe in moral suasion in these things I believe in fair and square
 treatment; in conferences looking to the
 adjustment of labor difficulties I have
 found out that such policy has enabled us
 to settle all the trouble that there has
 been in the brotherhood during the last nine years. What we are asking is that the same rate of pay for the same service be extended over the Burlington system and hope, lnu- tually conceding few points, we will arrive at satisfactory decision. What do think of the difficulty on the Gould system? 1 thin: it will be settled. The men are in the wrong and they will reach that conclusion themselves in few days no doubt and they will g. back to work. It is the most seri- ous railway trouble that has presented itself n many years.

But when the hour for opening Parliament arrived Sir An drew Clark, his chief physician, found that the patients condition was such that any outdoor exposure or public speaking would certainly te dangerous. A peremptory der forbidding the Premier to leave his room was given by Sir Andrew and reluctantly obeyed by Mir. Gladstone. The latter de- cided, however, to have his original pro- gramme carried out and entrusted Sir Will liam Vernon Harcourt, home secretary, with the performance of it.
