CLASSIFIED CIVIL srnyIcE.
Suggestions Dv the Preaidentto the Commits
/ sG.s.

sion.
Washington dispatch: The president
has sent long letter TO the civil service
commission recommending the extern
sion Of classified service. He says: 81
desire TO make suggestion regarding
subdivision @, general rnle III, Of the
amended rules promul yated on Feb. 2.
1t provides for the promotion Of an en-
ploye who is below or outside of the
classified service to place within said
classified service in the same department
upon the request of the appointing Off
Ger, upon the recommendation OF the
commission and the approval of the
president, after non-competitive exam
ination, in case such person has served
continuously for two yeais in the place
from which it is proposed TO promote
him. This provision must be executed
with caution, to avoid the application of
1t 10 cases not intended, and undue re-
Taxation OF the general purposes of the
civil service law. Non-competitive ex-
amInations are exceptions to the plan
OF the act, and rules permitting the
same should be strictly construed.
Cases arising under the exception above
recited, should precisely meet all the
requirements specified and should be
supported by facts which will develop
the basis and reason of the application
OF the appointing officer and which will
commend them to the judgment of the
commission and president. The sole
purpose of the provision is to benefit
the public service, and it should never
be allowed to operate as an evasion of
the main feature of the law, which is
competitive examinations. As these
cases will first he presented to the com
mission for recommendation, | have to
request that you will formulate q plan
by which their merits can be tested.
This will naturally involve the state
ment of all the facts deemed necessary
for the determination Of such applica-
tons. Attention is also called to the
necessity of better and uniform CLASH
fication of employees in the different de-
partments. After referring to the sew
eral classifications and grades of salary
in the government departments, the
president says: i wish the commission
would revise these classifcations and
submit to me plan which will, as far
as possible, make them uniform and
remedy the present condition which
permits persons TO enter grade in the
service of one department without any
examination, which in another depart
ment can only be entered after passing
such examination. One of the com
missioners said to-day that the views of
the commissioners are in full accord
with those of the president.

Tie PresIdsnt's Reply TO the Afstlsodlsf Con-
Tes,e,ace KeaoIuftoytM

INC Ffcstdeftf'e Reply 20 the Wcutodet C0It-
ference RESOLUTIONS.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-President
Cleveland has written long letter TO
Rev. James Morrow, ID. d., of Philadel-
phia, in response to the resolution
adopted at the session Of the Philadel-
phia annual conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church held March2, of which
the following is a synopsis:
NY Dear Sir: have received certain
resolutions passed at the annual confer
ence held at Philadelphia. The action
taken by this assemblage of Christian
men has greatly surprised me. They
declare: That this conference earnestly
protests against the recent action Of the
government in excluding the use OF the
native languages in the education OF the
Indians. and especially the exclusion of
the Dakota bible; that, while admitting
the advantages of teaching English to
the Indians, to compel them to receive
all religious instruction in that language
would practically hinder their receiving
it in the most extensive way; the line OF
power travels with the human heart and
the heart of the Indian Is IN his lam
guage; that operations OF all missionary
societies should be untrammeled by state
interferences.
The president here quotes the rules OF
the Indian bureau upon the subject and
continues. "The government seeks in
the management of the Indians, to CIV
ilize and prepare them for that contact
with the world which necessarily accom-
panies civilization. Nothing. is more
important to the Indians, from this
point of view, than knowledge OF the
English language; nothing can be more
consistent than the teaching OF English
in the Indian schools. 1t will not do TO
allow these wards of the nation TO be-
come their own masters; to indulge IN
their barbarous language because u In
easier or because it pleases them. Sec
Mar teaching is the object OF ordinary
government schools, but surely there
ran he no objection to reading chapter
| in the bible in English. or in Dakota, If
English could not be understood at the
daily opening of the schools. The use
of the yernacular should not be encour-
aged or continued beyond the limit OF
such necessity and text books, the oral
instructions in i general sense, and the
curriculum certainly should be In Eng
lish.
The rules of the Indian bureau have
been modified and changed in their
phraseology to meet the views OF good
men who seek to aid the government IN
| benevolent intention until 1t was sup
posed their meaning was quite pam
and their purpose satisfactory. Ihese
rules will be adhered TO and the govern
ment will continue TO invoke the assist
ance of all christian people and organ
izations in their important and interest
ing part of the labor entrusted to it.

the Masonic hall this evening, the floor
settled several inches under the weight

was averted by the presence of mind OF

was the breaking of the top cap in one

THE OLD MUDDY STILL BOOMING.

Sioux CITY, Ia, April 3.-The food
still prevails along the Missouri bottom
above the Sioux river. 1t was antici-
pated that there would be to-day break
ing up of the great gorge which has
caused the trouble, but the natural ice
dam has held firm. The river here is
nearly clear of ice, but as che broken
masses float down from the upper river
they lodge against the gorge and only
strengthen it. The gorge extends for
several miles along bend of the river
opposite the town of Ponca. 1t is po-
sition in which the force of the current
in the channel is little felt by the gorge.
The water backed up behind the gorge
plows across the low ground in the rear
of the curve, and enters the Sioux river
about six or eight miles above its
mouth. The ice running in the Sioux
river has collected against the railroad
bridge. The bridge this morning was
moved more than two feet, and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul company
has had large force of men working
all day to save the bridge from going
out. The breaking of the bridge breaks
all railroad connections by the Milwau-
kee line, and its freight is distributed
by the Chicago & Northwestern com
pany. Information from Elk Point
says that there has been but little loss
of live stock, but that farmers are hur-
riedly driving cattle even from points
not yet reached by the water.

Their Ruslness Roonling.

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at Van
elders Drug Store as their giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asth-
ma, Bronchitis, Cronp, and all throat
and lung diseases quickly cured. You
can test it before buying by getting a
trial bottle free, large size 81. Every
bottle warranted.

Helping the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only com
mendable in a general point of view,
but is judicious and prudent when that
help is enlisted in behalf OF the right
side of the body, just over the lower
ribs in the region of the liver. The
most efficient help is afforded by Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, and anti-billi-
Gus medicine OF incompatible efficacy
Inaction of the liver is accompanied by
constipation, sick-headache, furred
tongue, nausea, occasional vertigo, an
unpleasant breath, yellowness of the
skin and ball of the eye. The author of
these symptoms, liver complaint, routed
by the Bitters is accompanied by them
in its flight. Fever and azure, which
always involves the liver, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, debility and kidney
troubles are all maladies to the early
relief and final cure of which this stand
ard medicine is adapted. Don't use it
by fits and starts, but systematically,
that IFS full effects may result in per-
feet restoration OF health.
We are firmly convinced that
! Harrison is beaten.

BENTON,s HAIR GROWER

All who are BALD, all who are be-
coming BALD, all who do not want to
be BALD, all who are troubled with
DANDRUFF, or ITCHING of the scalp,
should use Benton's Hair Grower. Eigh-
ty per cent. of those using it have grown
hair. 1t never fails. to stop the hair
from falling. Through sickness and fe-
vers the hair sometimes falls off in a
short time, and although the person may
have remained bald for years, if you use
Benton's Hair Grower according to di-
rections you are sure of growth of
hair. In hundreds of cases we have
produced good growth of hair on those
who have been bald and glazed for
years. We have fully substantiated the
following facts:
We grow Hair in every case no matter
how long bald.
Unlike other preparations, it contains
no sugar of lead, or vegetable or
mineral poisons.
1t is a specific for falling hair, dandruff,
and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is a hair food, and
its composition is almost exactly like
the oil which supplies the hair with
its vitality.
If your druggists have not got 1t we
will send it prepaid on receipt of price.

THIS celebrated stallion will make the
i season of 1883 at his stable near the
mouth of crooked creek, upon the fol-
lowing terms: Ten dollars for each ser
vice; twenty dollars for the season with
no privilege ofreturn, or thirty dollars
to insure. Persons wishing to avail
themselves of the service of this horse
should signify their intention to breed
at an early date, as he will be limited
this season tn less number OF mares
than he has heretofore served in any sea-
son for the last three years. During the
season of 1887, Highland Chief became
standard, through the performance of
his colts, and is now registered as a
standard Horse No. 1927, in Wallace
Trotting Register. Upon information
derived from the same source it can be
asserted of Highland Chief that he is
the first Horse in West V iTs.iIlia to max e
himself standard through his colts
This fact alone will be sufficient recon-
mendation to horsemen, and is an ac-
copip!ishment which does not require
any comment to establish the reputa-
ton OF any Horse who performs it.

Tile OVersI,asloIFiIsg Issue.

While the special issues of this
seampaign, with that of tax reduc-
ton and surplus prevention at the
head, are all of irnportancs and in
teeest TO the people and big with the
fate OF the country, none Of them;
not even the greatest, constitutes so
dominant an issue as to preclude all
others. There is the general issue
which embraces and oyershadows
them all-the question of approba-
ton or disapprobation of Democrat
ic conduct Of the Federal Govern
rnent in SO far as the administra-
ton of national affairs has been in
trusted to the Democratic party
The question is whetherthe voters
Of the country on the whole, pre-
fer Democratic methods as Illus
trated since March 4, 1885, TO those
practiced by Republicans before
that eventfnl day There are, no
doubt, many citizens who find that
all they expected has not yet been
accomplished, and who do not make
sufficient allowance for the paraIyz-
GDg veto power of an obstructive
Republican Senate. There are 9TH
ers, perhaps many, who do not
understand or who dislike some
things that have been done at.
Washington or elsewhere during the
past four years, and are inclined to-
be eensorious respecting those mat
tiers. We do not think that this
sort of discomfort prevails at all
widely, but it is in human nature
that some of it should exist through
out the country.
The question that voters thus
minded must ask is, simply, whether
they would think it safe or wise to
vote the Democrats out and the Re-
publicans back into power. If they
can eonsclentioasIy answer this
question infavor of the Republicans,
they should vote for Republican
electors. If not, they are bound to-
support the Democratic nominees,
Notwithstanding any minor misun-
derstandings they may entertain.
Such is the general and overshad-
owing issue of Democratic against
Republican administration, the only
one upon which the ballot at the
National election says faye or no, ."
