THAT THE protests of the republican farm

changed bis tune, and now says: THE ex-

but In my judgment the necessary revenue
for the purpose should fall upon the shoulders

Enlivening Remarks in the House.

During the consideration ofthe Legislative
appropriation bill in the House yesterday
there were several interesting speeches re
| ferring to the administration and to the pres
ent methods in the departments. Repro
sentative Dockery, of Missouri, advocated q
| radical reduction in the clerical force 10 the
various departments ct Washington, and
read statement showing that on the pay
rolls of the department there are over 400
persons who are incapaotated for service by
old age and other causes, to whom the gov
ernment pays annually over 100000. He
called upon the committee on civil service
to take notice of this fact and bring in bill
to correst these alleged abuses.
On this same subject Mr.. Lodge, OF Massa-
chusetts, delivered his views on civil service
generally. He denounced what he termed
as 'back stair" influence in the matter OF
departmental and ether federal appoint
ments, and advocated the total divorce of
the public service from politics without re
gard to party.
General Spinola amused the House by one
of his characteristic speeches, in which he
defended Tammany Hall methods 10 poll
tics, and arraigned the present admnistra-
ton for being English in its tendencies. he
created considerable laughter by charging
that at the beginning of the present admin
istration colored servants were discharged
from the White House aud their places filled
| with Englishmen.
| He said the civil service law was I'm JEFF
| fersonian, ur- democratic and uDAmerican.
| and there were not five men on the other
! side who honestly believed in it, 1t was a
fraud: 1t had been operated es fraud, and
the present administration had not paid the
least aspect to 1t whatever.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said the civil service
law ar IFS administration were not approved by
one.ffth of the members of either house of Con.
gress He believed that if each member of the
House would vote his deliberate OPINION he would
declare that the whole system WAS founded on a
mistake, and its administration on false prnci-
pc 1t was detrimental to the very purpose it
was aimed 10 accomplish.
Continuing, Mr.. Grosvenor said that not only
would he vote against increasing the force Of the
commission, but he would uo.e here-aud every
where-to repeal the whole law. App auso 1t
was fraud on the people of the country.
Mr.. Allen, of Mississippi, quoted from the civil
service plank of the republican party, and from
President Harrson's letter of acceptance. The
republican party had gone back on its promises,
and he wanted to call the attention of the country
to the civil service prctenions of tho administia'
ton.
story Mr.. Allen recalled ~ showing the re.
publican opinion OF the administration, was to the
what he thought of it he received tho following
reply:

THERE Is really nothing more absurd than
The diesension among the republicans In
Congress on the subject of the metal cut
rency OF the country. The United States
depend upon England for market for their
surplus products. English currency Ia
founded upon gold basis; and American
currency, il founded upon any other
sort, would not only drain this cour
try of lis gold, but. In the import
ant matter OF exchange, necessarily give
the profits to Euglish merchants and
put the lose Oh American farmers. But ii
the congressional republicans, the repre-
seutatiyes of the rich, are culpable In this
respect, what must be said Of the democrat
io congressman, the representatives OF the
poor, who, apparently at least, would found
the currency upon every thing else except
gold?
