The statement is made that all the men,
bers of the cabinet. with the exception of
Secretary Carlisle, are advanced civil SER
vice reformers. The President, as
is very we'll known, is lead
er of the civil service reform
movement The steps that have been
made under Mr. Cleveland's administra-
lions toward the adoption of the merit sys-
tenn in the filling of Offices have been con-
siderable. and the prospects are that the
system will be still further extended be-
fore the end of the current administration
These facts, together with an incident of
recent occurrence in the interior depart
ment. have renewed the discussion of an
important point. in connection with civil
service reform.
The incident referred to. which can be
used to illustrate the point. is this: Not
long ago the Secretary of the Interior
found 1t necessary to discontinue carrying
on the pay rolls of his department the
name of an old lady named Key, a dis
tant relation of the man who wrote the
Star Spangled Banner" The facts go
for any work. and that she spent the most
of the time at her desk asleep. About all
the work she did was to draw her pay.
There was work to be done at the desk
TO which she was assigned: the public
service demanded activity, and the appro-
priations did not provide for sleepers.
There was nothing for the secretary to do,
therefore. but to put worker at the old
ladys desk. There was a great hue and
cry among the anti-admlnlsiration people
about the lack of patriotism on the part
of the administration, because the old
lady's relation had written a patriotic
song. The kickers lost sight of the fact
that there is no authority for pensioning
people who have worn themselves out,
or who have become worn out, in the civil
service.
And just there comes in the point that is
now receiving some attention, as referred
! to above. When the offices are brought
under the civil service reform system.
what is TO be done with those who become
aged and incapacitated in the govern
ments civil service? Shall they be turned
out upon the charity of the world. as was
the case of the old lady referred to? The
only way to provide against that, it seems
would be TO institute a system of civil
! service pensions. But 1t is extremely un-
likely that the people, who are already un-
! der a most enormous pension burden.
would listen to any such proposition. II
must be said for the spells system that it,
/ tendency is not towards civil pension
list, whatever may be its shortcomings
otherwise. Il makes the changes fre-
quent. and keeps the Offices filled with
new blood Under II there is no place or
necessity for sleepers at the desks. But
it often gives the public mighty poor SER
vice.

Prner pi.cnras silver.

Senator PETER Of Kansas is undoubt-
eddy the leading populist. He is the
length Of his whiskers IN advance OF
his party. which puts him a long ways
ahead. PETER has always been at the
front in thinking out and advocating
populist schemes. from the sub-treasury
folly up 10 and beyond the scheme for
cutting loose this country from all OF
the other hrst-class and progressive
countries by the adoption Of the single
silver standard. PETER is a progressive
party within himself shod with seven
league boots and with his face set to-
wards universal opulence. He has fire.
quently proved his progressive leader
ship by telling congress how TO abolish
poverty and make everybody a Cresus.
Up TO within comparatively short time
his panacea for all ills of the earth, in
the advocacy of which remedy he has
had able assistance from several more
or less well known persons in this and
other states, has been the free. unlim-
tied and independent coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l. In the light of
the latest news from PETER, IL appears
that he was not really sincere in his
advocacy of free silver. He was max
ing that point merely one of his seven
league steps towards absolute 1atism.
which he will reach in about one more
stride. He has now repudiated free sill
yer, as well as the sub-treasury scheme.
and proposes free coinage in land. In
the step beyond this ne will probably
propose the free coinage of the atmos-
phere.
In a letter written a few days ago to
j. D. Holden of Emporia, Kan, PETER
points out how futile it is to hope that
free silver will permanently relieve the
terrible conditions which he says are
affecting the people There isn't silver
enough in the world to meet the de-
mand, he says. Some more Voluminous
and elastic basis for currency must be
adopted. The basis PETER finds ready at
hand, and sufficiently voluminous for
any purpose in the world. II can see
no way out of our troubles" says he.
that will be so safe, so just, so easy of
accomplishment and so efficient as to
coin our land. issue money based upon
our wealth lin land) and abolish the
business of issuing money by corpora
tons" The idea is not new. of course;
it is at least as old as PETER But it
is new as being the leading tenet of the
faith of the leading populist. and as
being the successor to the free silver
craze. So thoroughly is PETER impressed
with the idea that the only way to save
the world is to coin it into money that
he will take the stump in advocacy of
the scheme within a short while. And
while he is on the stump. according to
what he said in an interview at Peoria.
ILL.,, a few days ago, he will denounce
the makeshift schemes of all of the
"rabid metallists," winch includes silver
ties as well as gold bugs. He is now as
much against the silver movement as a
man of his force of character can be.
How long will it be before some of our
friends who are straying around the
edges of the democratic camp will &c
over and join PETER in his earth-coining
scheme?

Good Times in COveta.
From the Newman (Ga) Herald and Adj
vertiser Dem.).

With cotton even at 61s or cents, the
farmers of Coweta will make more clear
money than they have realized from a
single crop in ten years. They have
used less guano and more homemade
fertilizers they have bought fewer goods
and borrowed less money, than in any
year since the war. There is not a farm
er in the county who will not raise
enough corn to last him through another
year, and so many of them will raise
meat as to render this useful commodity
no longer profitable as an article of mer-
chandse. The banks have been lending
money freely during the year at s per
cent. and those even who have been
forced to borrow will suffer less hard
ship in repaying the loans, and will have
money left

They Counsel Dishonesty.
From the Macon Telegraph pemo.

During the last few months the gov

of gold. At the time when the lenders
parted with this money il was worth
more, measured by the value of things
1t would buy, than it is worth now. Ac-
cording to the leaders own arguments,
the lenders, therefore, have already lost
a large part of their money. But in
