CAPITOL CHAT.

''Civil service reform is the latest 'fad'
at the capitol" remarked capitol Off
cial yesterday. Il am heartily in favor
of this way of making appointments,
and ] want to see it carried out all the
way through. Griswoid's promotion
leaves the position of chief clerk of the
land office vacant, and am told all in
experienced man from st. Cloud, or
somewhere else in the Fifth district, is
to have that place. | trust it is
not true, and | doubt it, for
/ do not believe that Capt.
Braden will pass over an old soldier
who stands in line of promotion, and is,
besides, well acquainted with the duties
of the office, and put in new man.
Mr.. Jewett is the soldier to whom ! re-
fer. believe also that it has always
been a custom to give eX-sOldiers the
preference in the matter of appoint
ments and promotions in this state, and
| should be surprised to see one of the
leading Grand Army men of Minnesota
be the first to transgreSS this rule. No,
sir; let the new man tail up the list"

rate" over the two roads when he estab-

them from freezing, they failed to no.
tice these tokens of spring time. March

trade on Third street. 1t is like a
fence built between the residence part
of the city and the retail stores. When
ladies find they cannot drive to Third
street without danger of losing their pet
horses. they will do their shopping on
the other side of the slot. They will go
to Seventh street stores, rather than
take any chances. They will not come
down on the cars and walk to Third
street, for that is not woman like. That
slot is the worst thing for Third street
that has ever been seen in st. Paul"
