STRICTLY BUSINESS.

Tho Methods That WIN Prevail in the
Departments.
WASHINGTON. April 4.-The assis tant Sec
retaries of state havs been directed BY Sec
retary Gresham to examine more thor
ouRhly than has been customary into the
personnel Of the state department, with a
view. 1t is understood, of determining the
fitness of employees for the positions held
BY them. II ia reported, and on good au-
thority, that tradition and precedent will
not obtain in the state department dur ing
the incumbency OF Secretary Gresham. and
that there will be less red tape and q
greater dispatch OF business hereafter.
Secretary Hoke Smith has already begun
to carry into effect his policy OF dispensing
with the services of all incompetent cler ks
IN his department., or those appointed
purely for political reasons. Under direc-
tions of Chief Clerk Wardle the individ ual
records of the clerical force of the census
office are being thoroughly examined. and
all clerks found to be deficient will be dis
missed. Twenty-nine clerks were dropped
from the rolls to-day and others are likely
to follow.
1t is Secretary Smiths belief that the
work of the census should be completed by
the end Of the calendar year. without ask
ing an additional appropriation from con-
Rress, but to do this he is convinced that
there must be not only economy in expen-
dltutes, but that each employe must do
good and efficient work. 1t is understood
also that the clerical force of the general

be given to the pension and other bureaus.

The Deposed Premier Struggling for Pub.
| lie Favor.
MONTREAL, April .-E1-Premier Mercier.
OF Quebec. spoke here tonight. He is now
seeking to rehabilitate himself BY espous-
ing the cause of Canadian independence.
and tonight made the opening speech of
his campaign. In the course of his ad dress,
Mercier said: II do not need to say pro-
pose to deal with my subject freely, without
fear and without feebleness. but also with
out hatred toward England. and with all
the respect that is due one of the erea test
nations. on the globe. On the whole, we
owe nothing to England and we may separ-
ate ourselves from her when majority con-
additionally decides to do so without any
pangs OF conscience and without any she'd
ding of tears"
As to confederation. he declared the
soheme framed In spirit hostile to tho
French element. As to the great question
before them. Meroisr said the Canadian
must mako UP their minds what the future
is going to be, continuation Of the statu
quo, political union with the United States
or independence. 'If we continue IN our
colonial condition." he said. I'VE reoede. If
we break the colonial tie We will advance"
States Meroier said: "For many people,
the immediate entrance of Canada into the
American union is the only solution to the
problem the future OF Canada presents.
While respect this opinion. do not share
it, Nevertheless. as political union may
become the ultimate end of our destiny, il
necessarily has its place in a study Of tho
question. That in certain respects
such union would be of advantage to us, Is
ipcontestable. These advantages are to be
found both in the material and moral
sphere. Demolish the political wall which
separates US from the United States. destroy
the conditions that keep American capital
out OF our country, and YOU will have in
pouring riches that would satisfy most
expectations"
Mercier pointed out that political union
with the states would have the effect Of re-
moving Canada's enormous public debt,
improving the credit OF its industrial COM
panies. reducing the cost of government
administration, and increasing the influ-
ence of French Canadians as race by
attaching them more strongly to the mil
lions OF French Canadians now In the
United States. But despite all natural
and other advantages which would follow
from political union. for Independence
there nre four leading REASONS. viz: From
nec assity. from patriotism. owing to the
natural advantage of Independence, and
because wo are carablo OF existing as an
independ dent people,"
Mercier claimed that independence would

United States could be accomplished, if il
were desirable.
