bad Women I'm the Public Service.
From Kate Fields washington.1

From Kate yields washington.
The line of attack adopted recently by
the enemies of the Civil Service Commits
sioner Lyman, in the hope of driving him
out of the public service, is deplorable. A
remark made by the commissioner before
the house civil service committee the 9TH
er day when he was explaining the advan-
tages of the merit system in appointments
as contrasted with the old practice of pa
tronage, has been construed to mean every
thing which was furthest from his thoughts
to say. He complained of the spoils sys-
tenn because, among other evils, it permit
ted unscrupulous men, high in Office, to
fasten upon the public service persons
whose characters would not bear scrutiny,
and whose support-f they needs must
be supported at all-would have come
more appropriately from the pockets of
their powerful friends than from the gov
ernment's Golfers. Everybody who knows
be a true statement. Nevertheless, organ
ization after organization of women have
entered silly protests, in the form of reso-
lutiors and votes of censure, against what
they are pleased to term q slander on the
female employees of the government. For
mercy's sake has it come to this that wo-
men who do lead good and pure lives are
obliged to spring to the defense of those
who do not, in order to shield themselves
from suspicioni 1t would be pitiful
thing to believe. Rather let them thank
heaven that day of better things has
dawned; that the growth of the merit
system, imperfect as ii may be in detail,
has had the effect of crowding out lot of
bad features from the civil service; and,
that among its other effects, there has
been a steady reduction in the number of
women with whom they cannot comforta-
bly, jostle elbows. No, no, Mr.. Lyman's
argument, SO far from casting a slur upon
honest womanhood, wss strong plea for
the defense of such womanhood against
insulting contact with the other kind; and
all the societies and clubs and unions in
Washington, under the instigation of
scheming spoilsmen, may ''resoloot till
the cows come home" without changing
one iota of the facts.

wisc>t leader In his letter to Col C1spp.
editor of the Boston Journal. under date of
18th inst. Mr.. Blaine shows conclusivcly
that his reciprocity plan is not free trade
proposition. but plan that will take away
all opportunity for free traders
Cuba is showing her desire for recipro-
city and no doubt a desirable arrange
ment can be made beneficial To both par
ties. Sir John Mcdonald in his recent
speech at Ottawa, says tie United States
has undoubtedly the right to impose what
tariff she pleases, and that Canada must
look about for new markets for her eggs,
sud other products. Reciprocity Is sure
to come sooner or later between the
United States and Canada, hut when ii
does come we want reciprocity which re-
ciprocstes. As Mr.. Blaine asks whist
