PROGRESS OF a GREAT REFoRm.

There are some very funny things in the
politics of this country, but there have been
few things more solemnly funny than the let
ter of the President pointing out some i'm
perfections in the civil service rules. One of
these rules provides for the promotion of an
employe in department who is below or
outside of the classified service to a place
within said classified service in the same de-
partment, upon the request of the appointing
Officer, upon the recommendation of the COM
mission and approval of the President, after a
non-competitive examination, in case such
person has served continuously for two years
in the place from which it is proposed to pro-
mote him, and 'sbecause of his faithfulness
and efficiency in the position occupied by
him, and because of his qualifications for the
place to which the appointing officer desires
his promotion" 1t has occurred to the Pres
ident that this provision must be executed
with caution to avoid the application of it to
cases not intended and the undue relaxation
of the general purposes and restrictions of
the civil service law.
The President also recommends a better
and uniform classification of the employees IN
the different departments. One of the civil
service commissioners says that the views of
the commission are in full accord with those
of the President, and that the commission
will advise a uniform classification, which
shall include and bring within the jurisdic-
ton of the commission every person in the
departmental service of the government, ex-
cept such as are appointed by the President,
with the advice and consent of the Senate,
and persons employed merely as laborers and
workmen. Under the new rules, however,
there will be exempted from the examination
which this classification implies certain pri-
vate secretaries, custodians of money, dis
bursting officers, secret service employees,
chief clerks and chiefs of division. 1t is
probable that in each of the departments
there may also be found very few other
places which the commissioners believe
should be excepted from the rule requiring
competitive examination, such, perhaps as
required peculiar technical knowledge. These
exceptions will be made only after thor
ough and critical investigation by the heads
of the several departments as to the particu-
lar needs of each. This comprehensive classi-
| feation the commission believes will remove
any liability to abuse of the rule mentioned
| by the President.
Thus does great reform continue to make
| progress and public Office remain public
\ trust. Meanwhile the victors are busily
gathering in the spoils.

Jay Gould's attack upon James Gordon
Bennett was a savage one, but the general
opinion seems to be that it doesn't answer
the charges that have been made against
Gould. So far as these are concerned, it
really doesn't matter much what kind of
man Bennett is.
Lightning works strangely sometimes. In
a eolleetion of articles damaged by lightning
in Europe is thu clothing of man which
was literally torn from his body during q
storm. The man. who was an agricultural
laborer, was standing under a tree at the
time of the occurrence. The lightning fash, !,
after ripping his smock frock from end TO
end, severed his leathern CATERS, tore the
trousers inte shreds and finally split up each
boot from ankle to toe. The man was not

The Charleston News and Courier has some
liberal ideas when an election is not-at hand.
Its latest is: It is claimed that there are
some colored young mon and women in
Charleston who are we'll edueated and can
| pass the necessary examinations as teachers.
| 1t is also claimed that the colored teachers
| will be more in sympathy with the pupils
than the white teachers are, and can conse-
quently accomplish more. Other things bs-
ing equal, why shall not the colored pupils
have colored teachers in the public schools il
the pupils and their parents desire it,

ing TO a decision just rendered by Judge
Arnold of Philadelphia verbal agreement
between the two parties is all-suhacient and
will stand in law if any witness whose testi
mony is worth anything will swear that ht
overheard it. The services of minister or

GUS. The Philadelphia decision convicted 6
man of bigamy who pleaded that the alleged
minister was not a person qualified to per-
form the marriage ceremony. The judge

An English analyst has stumbled upon a
new method of detecting adulterated butter.
He received twelve specimens Of supposed
butter, which he was to analyze to discover
which was pure and which was oleemarga-
rine. After taking what he wanted he set
the twelve plates in his laboratory. Next
morning the butter had disappeared from
ten and on two it remained. These two were
adulterated and the others pure. Suspeeting
mice he set out other plates, some containing
pure and some adulterated in various de-
grees. Again the pure butter was cleared
away, the slightly adulterated half eaten, and
the much adulterated only nibbled.
