CHANGES NEEDED IN CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
Washington, July % (SpeclaD.-As was expected,
several defects have been discovered in the Civil Ser
vice regulations as applied to the railway mail SCR
vice and the President will be asked TO make ono or
two notifications of the rules in force The order o:
President Cleveland extending the rules over the mal
service was apparently intended to hamper the incom
ing Administration. With this object in view, 1t was
made so broad that applied TO every employe Of tho
service with the exception Of the General Superntend
ent and an assistant 10 the General superintendent,
for whom Congress failed to provide. In all other de-
parments of the Government there grades OF SER
vice in which examination IS not required AS the
appropuaton for the Railway Mail Service authorizes
the employment OF postal clerks, and only postal
clerks It can readily be that the rule, II enforcod
will prevent the superintendent from obtaining porterS

places persons who have passed the examination and
are competent TO do the work of postal clerk Again.

POSTMASTER VAN COLT WELL PLEASED.
ALL OF HIS SUGGESTIONS FOR REFORM IN
DoRsED ny THE REPORT.


Postmaster Van Colt vas seen late last night by
Tribune reporter at his home, No. so Clinton Place.
and he expressed some surprise when told that tho
report OF the commissioners had reached the news
paper offices and then in process of publication
He had not received copy OF the report and was
altogether unacQuained with the terms of the com
mlssoncrs' recommendations. The reporter then re-
counted the leading points Of the report, and Mr..
Van Colt said: II am glad 10 find that the com
missoners indorse my views in regard to the employ
ment OF wagons for the collection of mail from the
street letterboxes in place of the present anquacd
and cumbrous system. l urgently recommended this
believing that the work could be done at saving Of
time labor and expense.
"I am grafed also to notice that the commissioners
indorse every one Of the reforms urged by me- includ
Ing tho establishment of addo al branch Offices the
general reorganization Of the clerical force. the abo
ton Of unfair annual examinations of clerks as
result Of (which the younger generally superseded
the older hands who had spent tho best years OF their
lives in the service; the employment Of
horses and wagons for the delivery Of
registered packages the special corps Of collectors and
the abolition Of extra rates for late mails. The adj
dltional 1913 clerks will be boon to the department.
which has had many OF its working for three whole
days without break 1t Is right that should say
however, that before forwarding my report to Wash
ngton had received statements from the heads Of
each department I'm the office, and in asking for 100
clerks and 116 carriers l believe made the lowest
possible estimate of our actual requirements.
When l have the report and the commission
ers shall perhaps understand by what process Of re-
organization they propose to make up the difference
between 1913 and 100 or 10 and 113. The commits
sloners suggest that too many men arc employed In
checking the moneys that pass through the Office
In this 1 do not agree Where Ss6OOoOoo
of the public money annually passes through the
PostOnlo, / think that there cannot DO too much
checking. In the public interest 1t IS necessary that
every possible safeguard should DO thrown around the
work and every precauton taken against
carlassncss dishonesty. - -,

THE RERATING AND INCREASE OF PENSIONS.
Washington. July 90 (specaD.-For many days tho
Washington correspondents Of certain Democratic and
Mugwump now papers have been busy sending dis
patches to the effect that Commissioner Tanner
60 ETC. II has been asserted and rcasserted that
certain removals Of medical examiners In the Pension
Bureau have been made without reference TO tho
wishes or recommendations of Commissioner Tanner
and in fact that the medical referee has been able
10 override such recommendations. 1t Is to be hoped
that the statement today by Assistant Secretary
Bussey OF the Interior Department, to the effect that
all such removals have been made on Commissioner
Tanners recommendation will put at rest the
lions to the contrary. The chief basis Of the latter
criticisms OF Commissioner Tanners action Is the
le:ang and increase of pensions. In behalf Of the
Commissioner 1t Is asserted that such rratngs have
been in strict accordance with the law and the evil
dence, so far "a the Commissioner could know, and
that II pensions have been Improperly Ierated II
has been done by who have bean regarded
trusted officers and employees of the Pension Bureau.
II may be Of that in such has
been the In order ascertain whether IL Is or
not the Secretary Of the Interior has decided 10 ap-
point 4 commission b investigate the whole subject.

Old Times.

Ed. Regjster-One more crop OF
wheat has been harvested and is in
the shock. Soon the sound of the
thresher will be heard all over the
land, and, as l sit writing this rainy
morning, my thoughts wander way
down the road of life, and bring up
some pleasant scenes of other days.
How different everything is from those
early days! / remember, year or tw @
after we came this to valley, we had
in good crop of wheat, and it was
good. That crop was soWn on ground
that was considered by the neigh bors
too poor for anything. While We were
breaking up that old field, with one of
those cast plOws, with two yokes of
oxen, and horse hitched in the lead,
some of our neighbors rode past, and
one of them said, "You are spiling the
ground; you are turning up the yal-
ler." | said to him, "You can't spile
rotten g. gs. There is nothing on top,
and we are looking to see if there is
ANYTHING below. That field was
watched until it was harvested, and
one of those same men helped cut the
wheat with the cradle. That field
cleaned up twenty-five bushels of good
wheat to the acre, and threshed OH the
ground. The first sack-full / put on
horse and rode with it to mill on
Black river. When L got to the mill
they could not grind the wheat until
tomorrow. / had to go back home,
and BACK again. The next year we
bows, each OF us, got new cradle
scythe, and sent them to Farmington,
to man who made cradles to make
cradles to fit each scythe. My scythe
was one of the old-fashioneu ones-very
long and wide. When the cradle was
fitted to the scythe, the boys all laugh
ed at me and said, "You will want a
cart and a yoke of oxen to haul your
cradle around the field" But when |
got that cradle fixed just right, the
fingers lust to my notion, j tell yoG it
was just fun to cut wheat: it cut SO

| kill a snake of any kind? I have; and
| it don't take him long to do it, either.
When deer finds a rattler, he circles
around him few times, until the
snake has coiled; then, with his feet
all together, he makes spring in the
air and comes down, all feet together,
on his snakeship, and soon has him
chopped into hash. 1 tell you.it don't
take deer long to do the job most
effectively. In all my hunting ex-
perience, there was nothing that was
so afraid of as snake. My old hunting
tutor said to ME one day, eff you are
afraid of snakes, just rub pennyroyal
or ash leaves on your mocassins and
pants, and no snake will touch you"
No, was never bitten by any snake
in all my hunting and wandering, day
or night, but / have been awfully
scared sometimes. There is no love

Hon. GEORGE II. PENDLEToN, form
erly U. S. Senator from Ohio, and U. S.
Minister to Germany during President
Cleveland's administration, died from
an apoplectic stroke, at Brussels, Belgi-
um, on Sunday evening, after an illness
of six weeks. Senator Pendleton was
born in Cinncinati, July 25, 1925
He was descended from a family of
lawyers, and adopted that as his pro-
fession. He was elected to the Ohio
Senate as a Democrat in 1857, and sue
ceeding that served four terms in Con-
gress. He ran for Vice President on
the ticket with Gen. George B. McClel-
Ian, but was defeated. In 1869 he ran
for Governor of Ohio, but again suffered
defeat. In 1877 he was elected to the
U. S. Senate, and while a member of
that body originated the present civil
service law. On the expiration of his
term in the Senate he was appointed
Minister to Germany, but was relieved
by President Harrison. Two daughters
were with him at the time of his death.
Mr.. Pendleton was one of the most
courtly and dignified of Ohio's great men,
and represented the best element of his
party. His death will be generally la
mented by the people of the State.
