"KEEP OFF THE GRASS,
Too Many Office Seekers Are Going
To Washington.
Special to the GIope.

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-For Heav-
ems sake, and for humanitys sake,
call off the office seekers. There seems
to be an average of from ten to fifty
aspirants in each county. Nearly all
of these office-seekers are as indiffer-
end too the law as rank anarchists.
They know that the civil service law
exists, but they propose to evade 1t.
or defy 1t. 1t may as we'll be under
stood that the civil service law is still
on the statute book, and that it will be
enforced. Senators and representatives
must be law-abiding; for they are law
makers. It is both wicked and foolish
to ask them to undertake to place men
IN Office in spite of that law. They
cannot do 1t. and there is no reason
why the off1ce-seekers should persis-
tently prosecute them, and bring their
grey hairs down in sorrow to the
grave"
