CIVIL SERVICE.
A Discussion IN the Senate on the
Power Of Patronage.
DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS ORDERED.
District of Columbia Business In the House
A Petition About a Bridge Over
the Mississippi River-Tbe
Bond Bill Debated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA discussion
of Secretary Carlisle's observance of
civil service methods came up in the
senate yesterday on a provision of the
deficiency bill for the appointment of
25 expert money counters Mr.. Chand-
Ter sarcastically pointed out that the
secretary's letter requesting the %
counters asked that he be given the Sc
lection, as the civil service commission
was not able to furnish the class of
counters required. It was then discov-
cred, said Mr.. Chandler, that the civil
service commission had broken down
and was so feeble and dilapidated that
it could not furnish money counters.
Mr. Wolcott interjected a brief but
somewhat sensational speech. He said
the real menace to the country was the
power of patronage lodged with the
executive, and which had never before
been used to such an extreme as under
the present administration. A free
coinage bill would have passed through
the last house of representatives had
not the power of patronage been
Fought to bear by the administration,
especially the patronage controlled by
the secretary of the treasury.
Mr.. Lodge said patronage and favor
itism were un-Amcrican. A system
which compelled senator's aid repre-
sentatives to go ''huckstering for mes
sengers and tide walters and to hang
around the ante-rooms of the president
and cabinet officer was demoralizing
and wrong.
Mr.. Blanchard, of Louisiana, deliv-
cred set speech upon the Monroe doc
trine. He commended the president for
the reassertion, on an enlarged basis,
of the Monroe doctrine, and advocated
that it be given the sanction of legis-
lative Endorsement.
The long pending resolution in the
senate which has brought out much
criticism of the secretary of agricul-
ture was passed without division. The
measure was amended so as to provide
that the purchase and distribution of
seeds shall proceed as heretofore.
THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON Feb. 12.-Under the ar
rangement made Monday, yesterday

sideration of business reported from

debate on the bond bill was resumed.

Hill, of Connecticut; Lacy, of Iowa,
and Burton, of Missouri. Messrs
DeArmond, of Missouri, and Ogden, of
Louisiana, spoke in its favor.
There were only thirteen members
present at the night session. The

A MOTORMAN'S LIFE.
Fun of Hardships. Exposure and
constants Danger.
The Great Strain on q Mans Nerves Suf-
6clent in Itself to Wreck Him In
Short Time-The Experience OF q
Welt-Known MOtorman.
Fyou the ctnetnnot. Ohio. Enoutr,r.


The life of motorman is not a bed OF
roses. He is subjected to many hardships
especially in the winter when he is exposed
to the cold and snow. Even in the sum mer
he must bear the intense heat which beats
down upon him. Considerable nerve and
self possession is necessary in a good N otor-
man, for the lives and limbs of his pas.
sengeTs are at stake. One of the best
known electric motormen in this city is
William Frazer, who is at present running
a car On the Cumminsville electric line. He
is not only well known to his fellow en-
ployes but to the people who travel on his
car. Mr.. Frazer is a young man about
tWenty-siK years of age and resides with his
wife and child at IA Belts Street, Cincin-
natl, .. About year ago Mr. Frazer was
taken with serious stomach troubles. He
bought several kirdS of medicine which
were recommended to him, but none of
them seemed to give him even temporary
benefit. An enthusiastic admirer of that
famous remedy known as DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People told him to try
them. Frazer was almost discouraged, but
took the advice. To reporter of the En-
Quirsr he said:
iams' Pink Pills. They are all that is
claimed for them, in fact they advertise
themselves better than any medicine ever
saw. / was seized some time ago with a
bad attack OF indigestion. MY stomach
hurt me nearly all the time and could not
digest my food. The pain was almost UNI
bearable and found nothing that would give
me relief. 1 confess that when | bought
the first box of Pink Pills hadn't much
confidence in their efficacy because mad
tried so many things without success that
was almost discouraged. Before had
taken one box 1 was decidedly better. Two
boxes cdre3 me entirely. While I have
been under the weather from other causes
my indigestion has never returned. II it
ever should know just what to do. l have
so much confidence in the efficacy OF Pink
Pills that if ever get real sick again with
any disorder | shall use some OF them. 1t
is pleasure for me I assure you to testify
to the excellent qualities OF these Pink Pills.
They not only tone the stomach but regu-
late the bowels and act as a mild cathartlc"
Mr. Frazer's testimonial means some
thing He speaks from personal experience
and any one who doubts that he received
the benefits stated can easily verify the as
sertion by calling on Mr. Frazer or seeing
him some time while heis on his car.
