WASHINGTON, June 9.-The House went
into the Committee of the Whole on the
Legislative, Executive and Judicial Ap-
preparation bill. Compton OF Maryland
proposed to address himself to the Civil
Service Reform provision of the BILL and
he expressed his admiration for the cour-
age of the Committee on Appropriations ID
placing the provisions on the pending bill
announcing his opposition to the rules
adopted by the Civil Service Commission.
He gave voice to the sentiments OF the
people he represented. The law was, he
commended, unconstitutional, and he pro-
tested against it as an democratic and
anti- Republican inscription OF the peoples
rights. He was against the law as it stood
radically and irreconcilsbly. Hit OF
Illinois commented on what he termed the
extraordinary provision" which has
been forced upon the Appropriation bill TO
| nullify the Civil Service law III 1t were
| not ruled out On a point OF order ne hopeo
the House, representing the country ana
the ad vanced thought OF the day, would de-
feat it with q square vote. Inc law nAu
been tried. 1t was no longer q speculation
| and it had, upon the most thorough trial.
| been found to be conductive to efficiency,
honesty and purity of the Civil Service.
The Committee on Appropriations dld not
| refuse to appropriate for the Civil Service
Commission, but it coupled the appropria-
| ton with o proviso which broke down
~ lorr;ar xphioh nrayantnH GnOllHmeD
| from ~sppropriating their workers to ONCE.
| He believed that q response of the country
| to the provision would prove a quietus TO
| the attack upon the Civil Service system.
He reviewed what be asserted to be an
| indirect violation of the law by the Post
| master General and the Commissioner OF
Pensions, and commended that a more
| direct course be pursued by the Secretary
| of the Treasury in the appointment OF
| Higgins. He also criticized the action OF
| the President in appointing Oberly as a
| Civil Service Commissioner, declaring
| that the gentleman was a type OF q party
| boss. Bavne of Pennsylvania protested
| against the provision, and called attention
to the fact that the change proposed to be
made could be made by the President,
To put this proposition in the bill was to
vote a want of confidence in the President
and his Cabinet. He believed the Presi'
dent was doing his best to carry out Civil
Service Reform, and that most, If not all,
of his Cabinet were endeavorIng in faith to
execute the law.
Senate-Butler read a telegram from the
Mayor and a large number OF citizens OF
Spartanburg, South Carolina, urging the
Senators from that State in Congress &c
use their influence in defeating the Oleo'
margarine bill, which, the signers de-
clared, was the worst form of protection
After routine business. the Senate pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the bills on
the Calendar under the five-minute rule.
