Civil Service reform is the last important topic
discussed in the message The continued
operation Of the Civil-Service law, he asserts,

necessity and usefulness. Every public
oficer who has Just =, idea Of
this reform. Its staunchest friends are found
among those who understand it best and its
Warmest supporters are those who are re-
strained and protected bv its requirements
The meaning of such restraint and protection
is not appreciated by those who want places
under the Government, regardless of merit and
efficiency, nor by those who insist that the Sc
lection for such places should rest upon a
proper credential showing active partisan
work. They mean to public officers, If not,
their lives the only opportunity afforded them
to attend the public business, and they mean
to the good of the country the better perform
ance Of the work Of their Government. 1t is
exceedingly strange, the President thinks, that
the scope and nature of this reform are so little
understood, and that so many things not in
cluded within its plan are called by It's name.
When cavil yields more fully to examination,
the system will have large additions 10 the
number of its friends.
Our Civil-Service reform, the President says,
may be imperfect in some of its details; it may
be misunderstood and opposed, it may not al
ways be faithfully applied; its designs may
sometimes miscarry through mistake or wilful
intent; it may sometimes tremble under the as
saults of its enemy or languish under
the misguided zeal of impracticable
friends; but if the people Of this country ever
submit to the Punishment of its underlying
principle from the operation of their Govern
lnent, they will abandon the surest guarantee
OF the safety and success of American insttu-
tons"

cheerful and ungrudging support OF Congress,
urges an increase of the salaries of the Com
missioners. and expresses the hope that Suc1
reasonable appropriations may be made as Will

How tho Sabbath is Observed Among the
Public Men In Washington.
From the beginning Of the govern
memt down to tho time Of tic war.
says the New York Hcrald's Washing
ton correspondent, there always was a
Sunday religious service at the capitol.
The House Of Representativ ,s was con-
sidered q national church. Tho down
fall Of this custom dates from tho
introduction of politics into religion.
Prior to that hour the chaplains had
been chosen by joint resolution of
tho Senate and House, and neither
took final action until the othcr had
agreed upon its nominee. Thon the
service in each house was held by tho
chaplains alternately. But with the
era of the war rose a theory that the
chaplain must belong to q certain
party. AS one party was decidedly in
tho majority, thut simply meant that
the chaplain must be Republican,.
In time 1t came about that q caucus
was hold Gas is now done) to agree
upon a representative of tho Deity.
That custom was obnoxious to 80 many
that very few members have since at
tended the halls of Congress early
enough to find out what Kind of the
ology was dispensed, 1t was felt to be
Republican or Democratic theology
just as the majority might stand when
the choice Of It's dispenser was made.
The next step was to choose the chap
lains from the city pastors. This was
the death knell to national place of
worship. Anxiety to draw large audi
ences to their city churches prevented
tho preachers from going to the House
Of Representatives to deliver sermon.

North and South as the idle diversion
Or vagary of al eccentric man. Colonel
Wolford has many personal friends
who admire him for his SIMPLICITY,
manhood and fine war record, but
there is nota Democrat in Congress
who does not think he made a bad
break In introducing this bill. This
act on the part Of the gallant Kentucky
Colonel has subjected him to no end
OF disagreeable discussion. The. dis
oussion created by tho acf, -itowcver, IS
only serious as far as 1t relates to The
peculiarities Of Colonel Wolford.
Nobody, even Colonel w. himself,
imagines for a moment that the bill
will stand any show in the Housc. 1t
will probably never SEQ light again.
Nevertheless, the Republicans will
seizc upon the bill and include 1t in
their campaign documents as a typical
Democratic measure, looking to tho
granting Of pensions to all Southern
soldiers and sailors. Colonel Wolford's
folly is a windfall to the opposition,
and 1t is chiefly in this regard that
Democratic membors regret tho intro

General Grant paid for nearly every

contingent fund, except for clerical
work and a few other expenses, as
sacred. Mr.. Lincoln seldom drew
upon this fund except for the most
common expenses of tho Office. 1t Is
said that Mr., Haynes lived almost
entirely ont of the fund, and retired
from the Office with his 100000 SUI
