THE ORDER TO RETURN.

Acting Secretary William E Curtis,
the petition to the court AYERS. wrote the
commission in July, 1893 to direct Gaddis
to return to duty in the Office of the reg
lister, on the ground that his services
were needed. The commission protested
that it could not spare him. Gaddis was
notified by Register Tillman that his re-
turn was requested for the purpose OF
discharging him.
Senator Huuton, Hon. Leonard Marburg
and Norton Entwistle made inquiries of
Logan Carlisle. and according to an afti-
davit by the latter was told that there

Washington, April 1S.-The course of
Secretary Carlisle in deposing from office
certain republican officials of the treasury
who hold Office under the civil service
law is to be tested in the courts. To-day
Attorneys w. w. Milan and Richard r.
Beall, of this city, applied to the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, for
mandamus, compelling the secretary to
reinstate Eugene E. Gaddis, over whose
case, there was some spicy correspond
ence between the civil service commission
and the secretary.
In his ultimatum to Commissioner
Roosevelt. it will be remembered Secre-
tary Carlisle upheld his right to make
dismissals for political reasons, and he
declared that if the view taken by the
commissioner was correct "a case should
be presented for prosecution in the courts

GADDIs' CHARGES.

Gaddis makes charges against Register
of the Treasury TilAman in his AFFIDAVIT,
which will tend to stir up the civil SER
vice reformers. Mr.. Gaddis is from
Atticl. o., and took the civil service ex-
animation in 1884, being appointed to a
81 900 clerkship in the second auditors
ofice. BY three successive promo
tions he attained salary of $1,000,
and in September, 1892, because Of his
success in the prescribed competitive ex-
animation, he was again promoted to
81 800. He was detailed by Secretary
Foster in February, 1898, the last month
of the Harrison administration, to serve
on the central board of examiners of the
civil service commission. His record for
efficiency, it is said, has alway been of the
HIGHEST.

On August 3, however, Register Till

ground of economy and efficiency of the

disregard of the civil service law. He
specifies that the register told him if he

that Second Auditor William A DAY told
him that Gaddis had been good demo

licanism. Mr. Gaddis, according to his
affidavit, replied that he had always been

not parade his politics, and could not ac-

remarked that he had investigated the

wording of the civil service act to make

The Selection Of Christmas Presents.

Richmond Dispatch.
At this time of the year many men
who are usually jovial enough go about
the streets with anguish written upon
their brows. The trouble with them is
that they have got presents to buy.
They have the money tospend, but how
to spend it puzzles them. The more
they think the matter over the less
thew know about it. And sometimes
much studying of the subjects SO dis
turbs their mental equilibrium as to
leave them less qualified to act than
ever before.
There are hundreds Of men here IN
Richmond WHO marched into battle
without changing color, who cannot,
without trembling, face the dreadful
possibilities of Christmas shopping
Not infrequently these wretches devolve
their duty upon their womanklnd
This is a good idea, unless Gas was the
case out west) the husband gives the
wife fiye-dollar bill as Christina:
present, and tells her to go and buy
roll of linen and make him doze1
shirts. Now that westerner, who is vel
known to history, may not have beer
a very bad man. It doesn't follow a
all. Quite likely he was delirious from
thinking the subject over. At least
let us hope 80.

1t is continuous effort that pays

keep his store open one day IN the

that is the impression people get. Peo-
ple are very forgetful. They have to
think pretty hard to remember the vice
presidential candidate two campaigns
back. and vet he was pretty we'll adver-
tised at the time 1t has been truly
cold that the time to advertise is all
The time. In business there is no such
thing as standing still. A business
man must fall back. Even II you 90
inst as much business this year as you
did last, some other fellow is doing
more business and he Is getting ahead
of you.
Each years effort should be to eS
ceed last years sales. The only sure
way to do is to advertise. Advertise II
busy times because the iron must bf
struck while it is not, and advertise II
du1l times to heat the iron. 1t can b'
done.
1t is poor policy to publish a mlslead

Yonth's Companion.
During the Mexican War, in 1876,
Captain Kenly received orders from
General Ouitman to march with a
guard to ford in the Santander River
and prevent its passage by the Mexi-
cans. He reached the place, posted
his men, with strict injunctions against
betraying their presence, and took his
nosition on the bank where he could
overlook the ford.
Suddenly there came the report OF a
gun, fired by one of his sentries. Cap
tain Kenlv ran to the place having
seen no enemy, and found the sentry,
Georgian, coolly reloading his mus
ket.

Had she a daughter to train, said
woman of the world, one accomplish
ment above all should be taught her
to make herself agreeable without
descending to make fun of other people.
Much, If not most, of the fun current
among young folks consists IN picking
others to pieces.
Bright people are given to use their
wit very freely upon others who have
the misfortune to come near them
Women, especially, regard the world
outside their immediate circle as created
to afford them amusement, not OF the
most anlable kind. They are not dis
eliminating enough to see what under
lies and offsets the popularity which
provokes their fun.
The addressed, hurried woman Is
commonly trying to carry affairs from
whose burden her critics would shrink

COTTON IN The SOUTH.
At Five Cents Il Will Yet
Be Profitable.

D. A. Thompkins in Manf'g. Record.
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Dec. 3, "a.
For more than FIVE years past | have
written that the price Of cotton must
come TO five cents. In order to maln-
tain in the future that control OF the
production of cotton that it has main
tained in the past, the South must
make cotton in large and increasing
quantities. and it must be made cheap.
In Egvpt. India, South America and
other parts of the world there are large |
areas of land suitable for cotton-plant-
ing. II the South does not produce |
cheap cotton in large quantities those
countries will become competitors, as
the farmers of South America have
become competitors in the production
of wheat and cattle. All revolutions
produce some distress. The old plan
tatlon system is dying. Both the white
and black people who still live on the
old plantations are becoming poorer
each year. The colored man as ten
ant is failure. In the cottonseed-oil
mills, and in many other occupations
where some white man is always IN
immediate charge, the colored man
makes good laborer. In many cases
they make good bosses. In the country
a few are good farmers. But the great
bulk of colored people who are lett IN
the country on the old plantations are
shiftless, and are not really making
their own livings. As a consequence,
there is considerable poverty in the
country. But on the other hand, there
are many instances OF farmers who are
conducting farms on their own accounts,
and who are doing we'll. This condition
of things applies no more to this year
than any other year. The dislntegra-
,lon OF tie plantations and the improve
ment of the Individual farms has been
going on in the past, and will continue
in the future. The reparation OF the
! damage done by the war to the South
is constantly going on, and this giving
away of the old planting system to
y system of farming is part OF the pro
! cess of reparation. The planter rents
lands to tenants, and supplies then

:, is shiftless and always in need. Ih
latter is energetic and prosperous. Tha
the change from planting to farmln

inevitable. When the change is com
plete, raising cotton at five cents pc
pound will be the most profitable farm
ing in the world, and in this way tn
South will be enabled to hold monol

ent situation of the farming interest

Fifth Ward,

There were TIVE tickets in the field in
the Fiftd ward, but one was so unmerci-
fully showed under that the storm that
Sushed the streets was no comparison.
The candidate for ward alderman,
Walter q. Fischer. headed both, bur
early in the game he denied any connec
ton with what was called the "long"
ticket, and the consequence was
that it was defeated about six to
one. The successful ticket is
called an ''uninstructed" one, but
it is really Wright ticket. or will be at
the dictat!on of the present mayor TO
vote which ever way he chooses. The
defeated ticket was combination ticket
for McGili and Doran, with the odds in
favor of McGill, bat willing TO swing
into line for Doran. 1t is stated that
the hand of the A. p. A. is shown on
the aldermanic nomination, and that
Fischer will receive the support Of this
organization in the campaign; but it is
also lllnted tina. there is bare POSSIBLE
ity of ight in the convention on this
point.
In the first precinct the voting was
very heavy and considerable chaileng-
ing was done, but the total indicates
that nearly everybody who desired was
allowed to vote. Four names were the:
same on both tickets. but it was claimed
that at least two of these were OH the

The other two will probably vote with
the delegation, whichever way they go.
