The advocates of Washington, there.

their eloquence was persuasive. If

not be permitted TO be dwarfed To the

The CRlTIc has no sympathy with
the hostility which occasionally, here
and there, is expressed in regard to the
civil service reform plan. 1t does not
believe that the present law is perfect
or that the rules and regulations which
have been promulgated under it are, at
all points, model expressions of human
wisdom. 1t does not know even that
It's administration has always been
wisely or impartially directed.
But beyond doubt the principle of
the civil service reform is correct 1t
recognizes merit as the sole ground for
admission to the public service. tire
lieves Congressman from undue impor-
tunity 1t reduces the chances for
office bartering and traffic, and it Sc
cures efficiency in the service,
A successful civil service system
ought to include among its provisions
the permanencv in office of Govern
ment employees In the main the clerks
of long experience are the best clerks,
and il stands to reason that a man,
otherwise duly qualified, who has
mastered the details of his daily official
routine, continues to be better equipped
for the service in which he is employed
than novice possibly could be.
Besides, the city Of Washington has a
very direct and Intimate interest in this
question of pcrmauency. The en-
ployes of the Government, of one grade
or another, or of all grades taken to
gether, constitute the backbone aud
most important ingredient Of the city's
population. They invest in city lots and
build themselves homes They rear
honest families. They value the news
paper, the school house and the Church
Sometimes they have the only rca iy
money that is going and they constitute
very important element in sustainin :
all departments of the retail trade
The best interests of Washington will
be best secured by the perfection OF
a civil service in which there shall bt

duty and an assured permanence in oc

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FAN

II owned not the color that vanity dons,
Or slender wits choose for display;
Its beautiful tint was delicate bronze,
A brown softly blended with gray.
From her waist to her chin, spreading out
without break,
Twas built on generous plan;
The pride OF the forest was slaughtered to
make
My grandmother's turkey-tail fan.
For common occasions 1t never was meant;
In chest between two sillten cloths
Twas kept safely hidden with careful in
tent
In camphor to keep out the moths
Twas famed far and wide through the
whole countryside,
From Beersheba e'en unto Dan;
And often at meeting with envy twas eyed,
My grandmother's turkey-tail fan.
Camp.meetings, indeed, were its chiefest
delight,
Like crook unto sheep gone astray
It beckoned backsiders to re-seek the
right,
And exhorted the sinners to pray.
1t always beat time when the choir went
wrong,
Psalmody leading the van
Old Hundred, / know, was its favorite
song
My grandmother's turkey tail fan.
A hg for the fans that are made now -a-days,
Suited only to frivolous mirth!
A different thing was the fau that praise,
Yet it scorned not the good things Of
earth
At bees and at qultings twas aye to be
seen;
The best of the gossip began
When in at the doorway had entered serene
My grsndmother's turkey-tail fan.
Tradition relates of it wonderful tales.
Its handle of leather was bufr
Though shorn of its glory, cen now it eX-
hales
An odor Of hymn books and snuff.
Its primeval grace, if you like, you can
trace;
Twas limned for the future to sean,
Just under smiling gold-spectacled face,

Big Head, one of the leading chieftains
of the Sioux has made desperate attempt
at Siouxcide. lie hung himself to tree,
and was nearly strangled to death before
cut down. 1t is said that no Sioux Indian
was ever before known to attempt to take
his own life. Some time ago Big Head went
10 Washington and called on President
Harrison. From that day he was no longer
himself He became sullen and melancholy
After his return to the agency at Standing
Rock he sank into dependency from
which nothing could arouse him. He re-
fused to answer to the name of Big Head,
and cursed the men who had persuaded him
to go to Washington. Since his recent rash
act he has been still more dispirited, and a
close watch upon his movements is required
TO pr event more successful attempt upon
his life. - ChicdgO HerdM.
