To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In recent issue of your paper is an
editorial headed "a Civil Pension List"
in which was advocated a limited civil
pension list. based upon age and length
of service. You state twenty years of
continuous service in government employ
will unfit any man. however ruggedly con-
stituted in brain or body, for any other
form of profitable employment" This is
in general only too true. If the civil sery-
ice law is properly carried out there will
soon be many such employees in the gov
ernment service. and in order to keep that
service up it will become necessary, to have
such pension list or turn many old men
into the streets.
In some bureaus there has heretofore
been very spermanent tenure of office
without the application of the civil service
law, and l would call attention to one of
them On July l, 1894, there were forty
three assistants in the field force of the
United States coast and geodetic survey
twenty-siX of whom had served over twen-
ty-four years, and all of whom are still
capable of rendering efficient service Be
tween July l. 1891, and June 80 1895 ten
of these assistants were dismissed. all but
one of whom had served over twenty-five
years. ] have not seen it anywhere stated
that any of them were inefficient. On ac-
count of age, however, it is not likely that
more than two or three of them will ever
again find profitable employment. The fol-
eyes of the ten assistants dismissed: One
served fifty years and was seventy years
old, one served forty-seVen years and was
siXty-siX years old. two served forty-six
years and Were siXtysix years old. one
served forty-two years and was fifty-nine
years old, one served thirty-nine years
and was siXty-two years old, one served
thirty-nine Years and was sixty-one years
old, one served twenty-five and a half
years and was fortyfour years old, one
served twenty-five years and was fifty-two
years old, one served seventeen years and
was thirty-nine years old. All these assist
ants had rendered very valuable services
to the government and some had gained an
International reputation in their work 1t
was by no means necessary that these as
sfstants should have been dismissed, but
had 1t been necessary, it would seem no
more than justice that they should have
been rewarded for their long and faithful
services by being placed upon retired
list with a pension that would have been
at least complimentary.
There still remain on the survey several
years, and one who has served fifty-seven
years. H

HIGH SCHOOL CADETS.
some vacancies and the Appoint.
ments That May BE Made

The selection of an officer to fill the most.
ton of Capt. Joseph W, Butts, the regiment
al adjutant at the Central High School who
las left the school, may be made in 4 few
days. In addition to this vacancy the posi-
ton of regimental color sergeant is open
because of the resignation of II. E. McCuI-
Tough.
DIR. F. r. Lane, principal Of the Central,
sent communication to Maj. B. r. Ross
as to the advisability of appointing cadets
to fill these vacancies at present, and If a
favorable answer is returned, committee
meeting will be Immediately held and the
appointments may be made at once The
positions, how ever, may be left vacant until
spring. as was the case last year. when John
w. Brawner. the regimental adjutant, left
school about a month afte- the first appoint
rAentS, ana his position was not filed until
the beginning of June.
There is much speculation as to who the
new adJutant will be. John H. Ray, who
is at present the battalion adjutant and the
ranking first lieutenant, is spoken Of and
First Lieut.. John B. Kelly is said to have
equal chances. 1t is generally thought that
the appointment will probably be given to
che of these-two officers. Ii. the former case
First Lieut.. F. A. Kummel would be the
most prominent candidate for the battalion
adJutancy, with First Lieut.. H. S. Wood as
a close second. and Second Lieut.. A. Howe
would be the first candidate for first lieu
tenar cy, with H. b. Farrow as second
choice. If John B. Kelly, the battalion
quartermaster. should receive the appoint
ment the adjutancy would undoubtedly be
bestowed upon Lieut.. A. Howe. In either
case. Wade L. jolly, the regimental sergeant
major, would be commissioned a second
lieutenant.
The appointment of a regimental sergeant
major and a regimental color sergeant
would cause a general advancement and
moving Up along the whole line of non-com-
miSsioned officers, and also general shift
ing about Of guides and sergeants in the
compa MES.
At the beginning of the year only three
corporals We're appointed for each company
at the Eastern because there Were not a
suficient number of tours to need four cor
porals, but since enough men have been
recruited to make roster of thirty men for
each company, two additional corporals c.
II. Trickey and ]. Covell, have been appoint
cd, but as yet have not been assigned to
companies.
Seven corporals are to be appointed for
company Z at the Business High School
this week, as Mr.. Davis the principal had
nothing on which to base the standing of
tie first year cadets and was compelled to
wait until the end of the first quarter in
order to select the cadets having the best
records. He stated yesterday that there
would be no noticeable change in the for
nation of the company, but that the COM

company of the Western High School
since the appointment of officers.

RATIONs FOR OFFICERS.
The COmmfssary General PROPOSES

zen. NJ. Il. Morgan, commissary general
OF subsistence in his annual report to the
Secretary of War, makes ar argument in
favor of the allowance of rations for off,
GERS and their servants accompanying
them while serving in the field or on trans
pcrts He proposes to amend existing
statute SO as to provide that an officer on
the service described shall be entitled to
draw one ration per day for himself and
one ration per day for one servant actually
accompanying him.

the company fund the value of the rations

Il therefore believe. for military reasons,

He says that good bread and well-cooked
food are matters of great Importance to
the soldier, and can be hest secured In the
manner indicated. In regard TO an emer-
gency ration, Gen. Morgan says:
"On April IL, 1895, i had the honor of
recommending that boards of officers
should be appointed to examine into the
propriety of establishing ration to be
carried on the person of the soldier on
emergent occasions where Transportation

line of the army was ordered by the COM

Great interest has been manifested in the
subject. and from Information received, I
am inclined to believe that it will be pos
sible to provide a ration, weighing not more
than thirty ounces, that will contain sutfl-
Client nHtriment for the soldier for one day."

Where Women Want to Vote.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The result of the so-called "referen-
dunn in Massachusetts, in which women,
as well as men, were graciously permitted
to say by ballot whether they wished to
vote on municipal affairs, demonstrates
that women do want to vote, and that men
are opposed to it.
For only 73g women in the whole state
voted mo- while 1S4.071 men voted no
In spite of this opposition large number
of towns gave an overwhelming yes
majority. In some places the yes" vote
was double the mo vote, and in one town
20 per cent of all the votes cast were
yes" In all, 81, 600 men voted in favor
of 1t.
One writer says: 1.-The towns which gave
majority for woman suffrage this fall
voted strong for mo license last spring -
The state committee on the referendum,
meeting in Boston, resolved that we petit
ton the Legislature to submit to the voters
a constitutional amendment giving full
suffrage TO women
Sarah Roys, writing for the Berkshire
Courier, says: Now that We are COM
PEELED TO take a back seat, let us sit down
on it, and watch the world progress with
out us. Let us revive the quilting frame
the spinning wheel and the leach tub, and
low dip over the refreshing labors and
genial compatibility of the patchwork
quilt.
Those among US who are not content to
live as we do can migrate to some other
state. AS for us, we have had our say
We are not living for the future, we are
living to uphold the glory and honor OF
the past Let us remain in statu quo for
ever" RUTH @. D. RAVENS.
