CIVIL SERVICE BEFoRM.

Advice to Clean sweepers That Should
be Needed.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 24.-The Journal of
this city, which is considered to be Har-
rison organ, contains an editorial article
which is looked upon as significant. The
article is upon the subject of civil service
reform which it claims has come to stay
and will move forward rather than back
ward. "The clean sweepers," the Journal
says, SHOULD not be unreasonable in their
demands of the next administration. The
more unreasonable the demands and ex-
pectations in this regard the greater liabiI-
ity to disappointment. The republican
party is fully comm itted by its platform
pledges to civil service reform and General
pathy with it. The republican party is
from Office as we'll as in ap pOintment there
to, and to use both priority for the public
welfare rather than for supposed party ad-
vantage. The civil service law must be
Obeyed." The article concludes as follows:
"FrOm what has been said it is evident
there are many things to be taken into ac-
count in connection with the demand of
the clean sweepers, and if they have the
welfare of the party at heart they will
recognize the necessary limitation of the
situation. One thing they can rest assured,
the president-elect is as old and earnest
republican as any of them and can be de-
pended on to do the very best thing for the
party as well as for the country"

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Thomas Barry. the
noted ex-Knight of Labor, remained in
Chicago till tonight to prepare the ground
for the coming meeting of twenty-five or
thirty delegates to the Knights of Labor
general convention whom he expects to
assemble here and start the proposed new
opposition organization. The meeting, it
Is understood, will issue declaration Of
principles. This declaration, as far as at
present evolved, is to repeat all charges so
frequently made against the Powderly ad.
ministration and will specifically demand
the eight hour day, the abolition of child
labor, the regulation of female labor, man
ual training and factory and store inspec-
tiOn. 1t will denOunce the alleged anita
gOnism Of the knights of Labor to trades
unions and particularly intolerance of the
knights to members of the Federation of
Labor. Unlike the knights, the new order
will not debar from membership the feder-
ati0nists. The declaration will charge that
the knights are too largely composed of
Irish and Americans. The new orQaniza-
ton will aim to be cosmopolitan. In
dividual local assemblies will be inde-
pendent, acknowledging no general execu.
