lr is fair to infer Mr.. Balfour's policy
by the acts of the magistrate before whom
the Irish nationaists are on trial. 1t is
extreme coercion, ahd the imposition of
the most severe penalties in the event of
the conviction. The deeds and utterances
of the prisoners for several years are to be
examined to incriminate them, and the
whole record of the Smith Barry
warfare is to be brought up against them,
and AS much more as possible. The per
mission given to the crown attorney to
amend his complaint and his opening of
the hearing indicate this, 1t really looks,
therefore, as though Mr.. Balfour believed
in his ability to wipe out the league and
tho nationaists at one fell swoop by gath
ering in the leaders, and falling them, It
this is his purpose, he has stable under

CHANCELLOR CAPRiyI has refused to adj

The BerIners have eaten several thousand

HE CIVIL SERVICE INQUIRY.
A Report That Censures Lyman and ODER
" in the Camnben Casa

A Report That Censures Lyman and ODER
" in the Campbell Case.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 1.-THE select
committee of the house instructed to in
vestigate the charges against the civil ser
vice commission has submitted its report,
the most of it being devoted to the case of
Alex Campbell, who gave some civil serv-
ice questions tn Mrs. Smith, from whom
they were obtained by Mr. Flynn, who
tried to sell them to Miss Dabney and
failed the latter testifying that the ques-
tions Flynn offered her were the same
asked her at the examination.
The Conclusion in the Case.
The committee says regarding this
charge:
MIR. Oberly, Mr. Lyman and Mr. Doyle each
investigated to a greater or less extent the
charges against Campbell, and found him
guilty of a breach of discipline and he was
reprimanded. IL the administration of the
civil service was not to fall into dsrepute Mr.
Campbell should have been dismissed His re-
teDtion indicated gross laXity of discipline and
shows that thu administration of the commits
sion was not at that time such as To receive or
merit public confidence. Ii Is submitted that
ii the commission had discharged its duty with
proper vigor and regard for the public IL
would have become manifest that CampbeIls
ret .ntiOn was not defensible. and 1t would
EN- to follow that if his retention was not
proper, his promotion wa not warranted
Commissioners Neglect Duty.
The committee cannot accept as satisfactory
the answer of Messrs. Oberly, Lyman and
Doyle that they believe that the questions
Campbell copied were obsolete. The facts dis
closed To the committee convince IL that the
omission to ascertain the truth was as repre-
hensible a. to have disregarded it after IL had
been ascertained, and is little less culpable:
and whether they failed through Indifference
or partiality to learn the facts or knowing
them failed to take such action as the public
service obviously demanded, is not matter of
great importance-the neglect of duty in either
case Is condemned
AS to the failure of Roosevelt and
Thompson to take action in the case when
they had investigated it, the committee
says it was "res adiudicata" to them and
they were justified in letting it drop.
Thompson and Roosevelt All Right.
The other cases Investigated involved
Thomson and Roosevelt, and were those
of +. ID. fBailey, Thomas Mitchell (who
was recommended for a position in the
pension office) and Mr. Shidy (who was
discharged by the postmaster at Milwau-
kee for giving information regarding the
Milwaukee Office to the commissioners,
and recommended by them individually
for place in the census bureau The
committee finds that there was nothing
wrong in either of these cases, and con-
cludes by declaring the course of Commits
sioner Lyman censurable, and generating
Thompson and Roosevelt from the charges.
A recommendation is made that the
president be supplied with copy of the
report

considered his life in danger; but in view
of the fact that the parties had no difficulty
in the cab on their way Ia the hotel and
that the only recent provocation, if it
might he called one, was that the cab did
not stop in front of the convent, there was
no justification for the shooting

ing old straw went on all day Aldrich
said that all substantially agreed upon
the evil effects of the .'outlowingn of sill
yer, but complete remedy would only be
found in opening the mints of the world to
free coinage aud the United States could
not do il alone. Any act passed would
only be tentative The imitation that
would follow the unlimited pure Ease of
silver would raise prices and ind uce an
era of wild speculation.
Stewart Tries 1t Again.
Then Stewart, who has already pumped
the subject dry, took another turn at the
bellows. In reply to Edmund's q Iestion
whether we have now a double standard,
he said that we had to an extent, but that
we were asked to give it up by the house
bill. We would now have silver oil a par
ity with gold if the secretary of the treas
ury had not used his discretion against
silver rather than in favor of il. The
present law was good enough if its spirit
was carried out.
Blair Has an Objection.
Blair said that the worst feature about
the propositions was the provision to
make the certificates legal tender. He be
lieved that to be in violation of tie con-
stltution- Reagan advocated the lnlim
tied coinage of silver. In response to ques-
tions by Hoar, Reagan admitted that rates
of interest had declined, and the Decessa-
ries of life gone down, while wages had
gone up since the characterization act of
1873 He said, however, that in de nounc-
ing the act he was speaking about the
purchasing power of money, not about the
rates of interest.
The members of the senate finance COM
mittee have made a careful canvass of the
senate and they admit that when vote is
taken on the silver bill the frie nds of
free coinage will probably be able to carry
the senate. The condition of thing as re
CARDS silver legislation is becoming so
mixed as the time draws near for the final
vote to be taken that no one seems to be
able 20 give good guess as to what the
outcome of the contest will be- Speaker
Reed is heartily at work with the friends
of the administration to save the bullion
redemption feature of the house bill, and
it is we'll known that should it be elimin-
ated the bill would have poor chance of
| receiving the presidential signature.
