Cold waves, storm waves, heat
waves sweep acros the continent, and
can be foretold by the weather bureau,
but there are other sorts of waves
that cannot be predicted. The suicide
wave sometimes passes across the
country, and the papers are filled
with stories of strange and fearful
suicides. Sometimes q murder wave
seems to fill mems minds with fierce
and bloody purposes. There are also
bankruptcy waves, skating-rink waves,
neutrality-suspicious. waves, private
theatrical waves, religious-revival
waves-and many other curious things
of the same sort. :
But the best Of these is the wedding
wave. When it comes people want to
get married. The barometic pressure
of this remarkable aerial Inhalation
seemsto take timidity out of the bash
full, and fill him with marital conf
,dence. He speaks right out, and is
accepted-for the female heart is also
under the influence Of the same atmos-
pheric and electric conditions. Old fell

hopesuddenly yield to the
meteorological impulses, and Ego in"
Men Of limited incomes suddenly feel
Athletic support awife. Men OF retiring
habits feel the need ofcompanionship.
Rovers feel the charm Of steadfast
anchorage and home life. When the
wave comes, nobody can resist his des-

with wedding announcements, as thick
as they are with coasting accidents
the day after q big sleet, or OF gunpow-
der accidents OF the day after the
Fourth of July.

in discussion of the report prepared by Mr..
Pulitzer adverse to the repeal of the civil ser

Mr.. Stone (Mo.) said that while he believed
the law should not be repealed, he could not
agree with Mr.. Pulitzer's reasoning. He will
file minority report. expressing his own views
on the subject. The report was agreed to by all
the other members, and subsequently laid be-
fore the House. 1t is as follows: "YOur commit
tee find that this bill instead of either imprOv-
ing or charging the scope OF the present law
simply provides for its unconditional and
absolute repeal. They report adversely and
ask that the bill lie upon the table, for
the following further reasons: First the prnci-
pie of divOrcing the subordinate offices of the
government from politics and elections and
making the term OF office depend, not upon
party service, but upon merit and good be-
havi0r, Is good one. So far as this principle is
sustained by the present law the committee
think there should be no change.
Second: The present law has not been on
the statute books long enough to have had a
full and complete trial. If for no other reason
than this, the committee will oppose any
measure providing tor an absolute repeal.
Third No reason or Information has been
presented to this committee justifying an un-
conditional repeal OF the present law. 1t may,
perhaps, need improvement, but the remedy is
amendment: not total repeal"
