REFORM IN CIVIL SERVICE.
The House Committee Will Inyes-
tigate the Commission.

ngate the COMMISSION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Cit is ex-
pected that the house committee on re-
form in the civil service, to whom was
referred the resolution in favor of re-
form in the civil service. will report in
favor OF the resolution soon after the
reaS Sembling of congress. They will
pro badly extend the inquiry so as to
show the effect OF the reform in the
government service. The civil service
cOmmiSSi OneTS are anXieuS that such an
investigation should be had. They are
sure of showing that their adminiStra-
ton of the commission has been on an
impartial basis, without irregularity of
any sort. They know, too, that it can
be shown that the government service
has been vastly improved under the
civil service system. The record
of work done, and general character
of the departmental service will
I've the strongest argument in favor OF
the reform. Mr.. Thompson says of the
proposed investigation that it cannot
fail to advance the interests of the re-
form. The showing will be such as to
diSarm opposition. Under the reform
system know from experience and
observation the service made n marvel
Gus advance in improvement. The
system can not be praised too-highly
when one observes the good accom-
plished by it." The civil service COM
mttee organized strongly on the line of
reform. The chairman, Mr.. Lehlbaeh,
is pronounced civil service refOTmer.
Representatives Bayne, Butterworth,
Greenhalge and Andrews, of the CON-
mittee. are well known as civil service
refornerS, and are men of ability, and
Representative Dargan wrote a report
during the last congress in which he
made a very able defense of the reform.

gram from Ruy BarboSa, the minister
of finance under the new regime:

Washington: From cablegramS we

BEN Is TOO FRIGID.
Congressman Are Kicking on the
President.


Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-Kicking is
heard all along the line. The object at
which the hoofs are directed is the pres
ent administration, and the most anus
ing part of 1t all Is that the kickers are
Republicans. One irate member from
a Northwestern state. who implOred his
hearers not to mention his name, was
heard to remark the other night: Il
have been frozen at the White
house and kicked from there down to
the interior and pension departments.
and | am mad all over. The president
does not receive me with ordinary civil
ity, and the cabinet ministers do nothing
at ALL" The talk about the frigid re-
captions given by the president to
everyone who calls to see him on bust
ness is almost universal. Members say
they are barely treated with courtesy, and
are loud in their expressions of disap-
proval. as the opportunities for obSer-
walton grow more numerous, and the
observers gather together to ask for
plums and pies from the great Il am"
of the Republican party, the fact is be-
coming more and more apparent that
the present administration will be less
popular than was that of Hayes. Presi-
dent Harrison is said to lean towards
Jeffersonian simplicity, but Hyper
borean frigidity and Jeffersonian sim
plicity are what the chemists call in
compatibles, aud when served up with
a sauce compounded of megaloeephalic
egotism and booriSb rudeneSs, form a
dose that causes nausea, and has caused
already an epidemic of disgust from
several states, more especially North
waStern ones.

PROTECTION OR FREE TRADE.
First of the Series OF Tariff Hear
ings by McKinley's Committee.

FIRST OF the series OF iarfu near
ings by McKinley's Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 26.-The first of
the series o. tariff hearing mapped out
by the house committee on ways and
means was held this morning, gentle
men interested in metals, ores and coal
being permitted to give their views.
George II. Ely, president of the West
ern Iron Ore association. which was Or
ganiZed eight years ago, spoke in favor
of the retention of the duty on iron ore.
The duty of 80 cents a ton had been
benetcent. 1t had been satisfactory.
1t had promoted the iron and steel in
able degree. As an instance of this
beneficial effect, he cited the produc-
ton of the GOgebic district, which had
increased from 1000 tons in 1884 to a.
600 tons during ten months OF 1880, and
of the Minnesota district, which had
increased within the same dates from
O., 900 to 10000 tons. In 1856 the total
production of American mines had
been 100000 tons, while the
estimated production for 1889
was between 100000 and $4,000, 600
tons. The question of duty, he said,
was a question OF wages. In the Span
ish mines the hours of labor were sew
enty-two hours week; in the Lake Su-
perior region the hours were fifty-fye
hours week. In Spain the wages of
drillerS and miners were GO to ~ cents
a day and of common labOrers SO to SO
cents. In the Lake Superior mines, the
wages for drillerS and miners were
1926 to s2.75 day, and for laborers
SLIGO to -. He believed in the protec-
ton of American labor and in keeping
up the rates of wages to American
wOrkingmen. If the range of wages
were ever to change in England, that
country would have to change its pol
icy. He did not ask for any increase of
duty. but he earnestly urged the reten-
ton of the present rate. The duty had
operated to make up part of the differ
ence between the wages at home and
abroad. If the duty was high enough
to make full equivalent for this differ
ence, it would be at least $3.50 a ton.
George Toby, of Massachusetts, adj
dressed the committee in favor of free
importation of iron ore and coal.

In MEMORY OF GRADY.
Pay Touching Tributes
to Their IIiustri us Dead.

ATLANTA, Ca. Dec. 26.-The citizens
of Atlanta paid tribute to the memory
Of Henry w. Grady to-day by public
meeting at Degive's opera house, pre-
sided over by the mayor, and at which
addresses were delivered by many of
the most prominent people Of the city.
The opera house, which was crowded to
overlooking, was beautifully decorated
with flowers and emblems of mourning.
Two large pictures of Mr.. Grady hung
at the sides OF the stage. The exercises
were opened with prayer. The Chi Phi
resolutions were then read. Hon. Pat
rick Walsh, of Augusta, was the first
speaker. He described Grady as the
most gifted and useful public man Of
his day. Mr.. Walsh reviewed Grady'S
brilliant career as an editor and orator,
and added: "His last speech was an inn

Gov. Gordon, who was the last speak

richest, all classes, cOlOrs and creeds,
with an unspeakable sorrow mourn his

KANSAS CRY. Dec. &c. = President
Speas, of the Kansas City Base Ball
club, announced to-day that he had
withdrawn from the negotiation COM
mittee of the National League his offer
to sell certain players of the Kansas
City team, and that il future the league
clubs would have to come to him if they
wanted to do business. He declares
that he believes the league has been
putting off the purchasing in order to
see what will be the outcome of the
Players League plans. They think
if that goes under to get such players
as they want at their own prices.
President Speas says that he begins to
realize that Kansas City must have a
permanent winning team in the West
ern association, and that he is not as
anxious to sell his good players as he
was Pitcher Conway has accepted
terms and will sign in day or two.

RANDALL IMPROVING.
His Relatives Look for His Com
plete Restoration.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The relatives
of Mr.. Randall say that he Is really get
ting better, but that his recovery is nat
urally slow. They think he is better to-
day than he was yesterday, and better
this week than he was last week. He
may not be able to be in the house when
it reassembles, because his system is yet
too weak to bear the strain and excite
ment incident to any legislative strug-
gle such as may Occsr over the adoption
of the rules. Mr.. Randall does not see
all his colleagues who call, and many of
them do not ask it. They simply wish
to pay their respects and to make
known their hopes for his recovery.
Mr.. Randall reads the daily papers reg
ularly. His relatives insist that his
trouble is not an organic one, and that
his complete restoration to health is
only matter of time and abstaining
from too much work.

in Brazil is satisfied, and Eu-
rope would be also, if Brazil was
better known there. Here such a
criticism exciteS surprise. inasmuch as
we are supposed to be a country as
thickly peopled as the European ma

very much spread population. Such
impatience is absurd. Any alteration in

TWO GOOD STORIES.
Beck's Black Bottle and Santa
Claus Stewart.
Special to the Globe

SptCid1 W sTtOOe-
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Two stories
are going the rounds which, though not
of Northwestern men, are worth repeat
ing. The first is on Senator Beck. of
Kentucky. A prominent lawyer from
his state went up to his committee room
a short time ago and asked the youth
who occupied his desk where Senator
Beck was. The youth replied that he
was out. HAS he not left some re-
sponsible person in charger" asked the
visitor. Yes. SIR" answered the callow
youth, taking from the cupboard black
bottle and glass, 'help yourself"
The other is on Senator Stewart, and is
related by his wife. One night last
week the senator was walking up Fiji
teenth street, clad in an unplucked seal
overcoat, over which his long white
beard flowed. As he neared the Shore
ham little tot of girl lett her nurse
and ran toward him. She caught him
by the coat and said: ''Oh Santa Claus,
please won't you bring me a string of
gold beads for Christmas" The SEN
ator'S resemblance to Santa Claus has
often been remarked, but was never
practically proven before.
