speculative inteIeats at present, wss even
more pronounced .han at any time vet.
First prices we're quite irregular, and a.
| though there WIS some strength shown At
the opening, it sooa died away under the
outpourirg OF Uaion Pacific and Atchisou
with Missouri Pacific. TIE irregulari,y
disappeared toward noon, when everything
became wesk, and Chicago Gas became
one of the prominent weak shares. There
we're frequent rallies, which, however,
were Of short duration and only served to
maintain the excitementaud after noon The
attack npon Lsckawanna checked what
psOmised to be general recovery. Urion
Pacific aud Atchison dropped lower until
after delivery hour but 10 the last few
minutes trading there was some recovery,
while tho market closed heavy 10 weak. &c

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The St. Johnstury CdledOnidH says
OF late venture in which a number of
Nermouters are interested, one or two of
whom are from this county: "Theae are
1919 on the train and dispatch from
Denison Sunday says they have purchas
ed big lot of land and organized COM
pany with a million dollars capital.
This Denison is town near Oklahoma
line-the territory about to be 'purchas-
ed from the Indans-and this new syn
dictate are to sell town lots. One thing
in all this business is very noticeable.
When a Western boomer wants to start
boom he comes to New England for
the money if not for its victims. 1t
would be gratifying to know that he cid
not always find mel ready to grab at his
bait"
Chicago is the next large Western city
where an attempt is to be made to dis
continue the instruction in German in
the common schools. 1t may take a
struggle to effect this reform in Chicago
with its immense foreign population,
but sooner or later the reform is bound
TO come. There is no surer sign of the
positive Americanism of the great West
than this growing determination to cease
trying to perpetuate a purely foreign
language at the public expense.
The proposed testimonial banquet at
Rutland to Secretary of War Proctor
has been abandoned, the Secretary hav-
ing telegraphed Judge Veazey, who was
TO preside, that it would be inconvt nient
for him to arrange his business matters
so as to be present. The invitation was
signed by one hundred and forty prom
inent citizens of Vermont.

The Railway Postal servic,

The last official act of the President
before leaving for New York was to de
eide that the order extending the
civil service rules to the railway mai
service should go into effect May |, and
should not be no longer postponed. In
making this decision the President has
endorsed the position of the rump Civil
Service Commission consisting of the
single individual, MIR. Lyman, and has
overridden his Postmaster General and
the officials of the Post Office Depart
ment. This matter was decided at the
White House on Saturday afternoon
after another hearing from the Civil
Service Commissioner, the Postmaster
General and the Attorney General for
the Post Office Depar ment. The Post
Office officials have not had the lime to
restore as many of the former officials
of the railway mail service, who were
discharged for political cause only by
the last Administration, as they desire.
Accordingly they asked that the time be
still further extended, This was Oppos-
ed by Mr.. Lyman. The President ruled
with Mr.. Lyman, but it is understood
that no formal decision has been reach
ed as to the cognate subject, whether
rule ten of the civil service system shall
be 30 modltis that persons who were
dismissed from the service more than
twelve months ago, can be reinstated
without examination and without being
required ITO go to the foot of the class
Whether this rnle shall be mod I'D is
wholly diScretio airy with the Presi
dent, 1t is claimed by those who wish
more time to reinstate the old employees
that the limit twelve months is at the
best merely arbitrary, and that no prln-
cipal is surrendered by extending this
limit The civil service people, on the
other hand, claim that great principle
is involved, and that TO remove this
limit is to juggle with the civil service
principle and to declare in effect that
whenever there shall be a change in the
administration of the Government the
President may change the rules 50 as to
admit his own partisans to the service
without examination, and TO thus prac-
ticaly nullify the re system.
The Presiden', Congressmen say, il
anxious that the efficient discharged
Republicans officials shall be reins,ated,
and was at first disposed to side with
the Post Office officials who desire to
have the limit removed, hut in more re-
cent talks he has Indicated disposition
to make the arguments submitted by
the Civil Service Commissioner his own.
