PARTY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
The Civil Service Commission Sits Down on
Partisan.

WASHINGTON, June ga communica-
ton was received by the civil service COM
mission from p NJ. Wright, secretary of
the local board of civil service examiners
at Port Huron, Mich, asking that the
board be allowed to hold competitive ex-
animation on the 18th of July for clerks
and inspectors in the custom house in
place of that announced for the 18th Of
June, which was not held The commits
sion has directed reply, allowing an ex-
animation to be held for clerks, but not
for inspectors. The commission denies
the examination for inspectors, on the
ground that the secretary of the board fur
nished no statement of the number of
names of the eligible list for appointment
as inspectors.
Speaking of this action Commissioner
Roosevelt, on behalf of the commission,
said: 1--WE are especially reluctant TO do
this but it is in consequence OF an article
which has appeared in a Detroit paper
purporting to be an interview with Mr..
Greer, collector of customs at Port Huron.
AS far as we know, this interview has not
yet been repudiaUed. In it Mr.. Greer is
reported as strenuously cOndemnlng the
civil service law and stating his belief
that the proper theory to adopt IN the
management of his Office is that implied in
the adage, TO the victor belong the Spolls.
Mr.. Greer being an appointive officer
of the custom house whose duty it IS to adj
minister the law which he thus condemns,
his expressions render it especially incum-
bent upon the commissioners to see that
no chance whatever is given for an evasion
| of the law. The commission has, OF
course no control over the expression of
any public officer, but they intend to make
/ it their particular duty to see that APP
pointments are made according to law.
| They will tolerate no eyasions. The eX-
aminations are open to all, Democrats and
Republicans alike-all can apply who
choose; and all have equal chances.
! The statement is to be con-
sdered as an authoritive statement of
! the position of the commission.
! We should be particularly pleased to have
the Port Huron papers take notice. The
statements of the kind attributed to Mr..
Geer have the effect of keeping Democratic
applicants from applying to the competi-
tive examination in the classified service.
| We wish to show them that the commits
sion will take good care to see that Mr.
Geer's words remain words only and dc
not crystalZe ipto deeds"

THE HOWARD LIBEL CASE.
What Prominent Georgian Knows About
Howard.

JACKSON, Tenn, June 27.-The defend
ants claim that this has been field day
for them in the famous Howard case.
After examining several witnesses of min
or importance, defendants introduced
Judge Samuel Lumpkin, of Lexington.
Ga, their most important witness.
The judge is about 40 years old, heavy
set, and a pleasant, genial gentleman. He
held the Office of attorney general eight
years, was state senator, and is now hold
ing his second term as circuit Judge. He
is one of the most prominent and intelli-
gent men in the state of Georgia, and was
the associate and personal friend of Robert
Toombs and Alexander II. Stephens.
Witness said that he preferred not to be
a witness in this case, but he had been i'm
portuned by both plaintiffs and defendants
to come here as witness. That he
was here at the earnest solicitations
OF both sides. Witness said he
met plaintiff the first time in Octo-
Der, 1876, at Charlottesville, Ga. Wit
ness went there TO see Hon. Alexander
ii. Stephens who has been his intimate
friend from childhood. Mr. Stephens in
treduced plaintiff TO him as Frederick A.
Hewlett, and said that Hewlett was from
I South Carolina and looking for location
to practice law. Witness told plaintiff
I that there was NOoU opening at t<eNiDg-
{ ton, Ga, for young lawyer, and on the
/ suggestion he vent 10 Lexington. Plaintiff
! said ne had been sick and had spent ell his
money Witness took him 10 his own
( house, where he had a long talk with him,
! in which he was favorably impressed
with his intelligence. Plaintiff told wit
ness he was born and raised in London,
I that his father was magistrate, and his
mother had died when he WAS quite young;
that he ran of and went on a cruise on
! the Mediterrsnean sea; that his father had
/ him brought back home but that he ran
! of again and went on the steamship
/ Tlgress as common sailor. He said that
while on the ship a man was killed by fall
ing oil pier and the accident was attrib-
uted TO his carelessness- be wss arrested
( and put in irons. When the ship
got 10 New York he escaped and de
serted. He remained in New York awhile
and made some money as a street car
driver. He then went TO WATERFORD, :
&, taught negro school, studied law and
held the Office of trial justice.
