CALLAHAN AND POwDERLY.
Why the Former Brings Suit Against tn
Latter

SCRANTON pa December 19th.-According
to a lengthy statement furnished today by Cen
eral Master Workman Powderly, his diff
Guilty with Edward Callahan, which led TO the
present prosecution, dates back to the appoint
ment of the Committee of Knights of Labor in
1877 to watch State legislation in the interests
of workingmen. In March, 1888, Callahan
complained the committee was neglecIiug its
duty, etc.
Powderly asked him for his authority for
stating that IN, mbers who stand high in the
order do not want their reports published"
Callahan replied that Powderly was dere let
in his duty. and the committee a sham In
June, 1855, Callahan published a letter about
the legislative work and committee, and said
that after his last letter Powderlv circulated all
infamous lie, and thus injured his callahan s.
political chances badly.
Before the June Convention, this year. to
nominate Assem5'ymen, Callahan complained
to Powderjy that injuriou steries had been cir
cuiated, and asked the publicat on of his let
ters. Later he accused Powderly of yilifying
him by circulating stories which led to his de-
feat and declared If his letter had been pub
lished it would have saved him. but that Pow
derry sacrificed him to save himself, as the let
ter would have exposed Powderly's treachery
to the Knights of Labor.
Poverty Published a full statement of the diff
nculty, together with several of Cellahan's
letters, il the Journal Of United Labor in August,
1888, in which he asserted his innocence of the
charge brought by Callahan and his surprise
at the rash uIteraDces of the man.
Powdesly told a reporter to-day that he knows
nothing OF the present case, but supposes it is a
renewal of the charge of conspiracy.

CIVIL SERVICE.
Senator Stewart Says it Is Delusion and
a Snare.

WAsHINGroN, December 10 h.-Senator Stew
art of Nevada, has come out as one OF the
strongest OF the men who go i'll for the repeal OF
the civil service law.
The whO.e theory upon which the civil
service system is based is false" said the Sen
ator. 'The history of the world furnishes no
example of whsTe the law authorizes secrecy
and relies upon the innate honesty of men for n
good administration. 1t must e conceded that
dishonest men can exercise unlimited Partially
and favoritiSm in the examination of appli-
cants. Eayorites can be informed in advance
OF the questions to be proposed in any eXsmina-
ton; favorites can be marked high and ac
cepted and the unfortunate, however compe-
tent can be rejected.
'There is no redress for this. After the ex-
animation four names are to be selected by the
examiners, whenever the appointing power has
q place for one. The unworthy may be Sc
lected. and the action Of the Board is not sub
ject to review. Or an understanding may be
had with the officer who desires to make the
appointment that some faxo-ite shall be in
ciuded in the lucky four. Besides, special ex-
aminations may be, and, II is alleged often
are held to railroad a favotite Into place
'Ihe pretended examinations can, in the
nature of things have but little refe ence to the
fitness of the applicant for the discharge of the
requiied duties The mode adopted by busi-
ness men of giving an applicant a trial and OF
discharging him forthwith if he is incompetent
is the only safe method. Under the civil serv-
ice rules an incompetent man has a six
months trial before he can be discharged, and
in that time he can, and very frequently does,
greatly demoralize the service. The trouble
about the whole system of civil service is that
it is an irresponsible secret service
