CIVIL SERIICE ENTENNION.

There has been considerable discussion in
brooklyn during the last few days as 10 the
precise scope OF that section Of the State Con
stiuiion as revised in 1894 which relates to the
extension Of Civil Service principles. and meas
urcs are about to be takcn To secure judicial
decision on the points in dispute. The language
Of the Constitution Is explicit II says (Article
V, Section % that appointments and promotions
"ln the Civil Service Of the State. and Of all the
civil divisions thereof, including cities and
villages. shall he made according to merit and
fitness to be ascertaincd. SO far AS practicable.
"by examinations. which. so far as practicable,
shall BE- competitive" After a clause relating
to hOnorably discharged soldiers and sailors, the
section concludes thus: Laws shall be made
to provide for the enforcement Of this section"
The revised Constitution has been In force
since January I. 1893. and as yet no laws have
been made to provide for the enforcement OF
this section. A bill was before the Legislature

them There are some signs that the Ranes Dill
was a factor In the elections but Its influence
was not great or general, and no inference can
be drawn as to what the effect will be in case
II becomes law.

The support Of Tammany Hall for the Greater
New-York bill has been secured despite the att-
tude heretofore assumed by Senator Cantor Not
only Is he satisfied with the bill in the shape In
which II was put yesterday, but he believes that
all the other Tammany men, with possibly two
exceptions. will accept it, That there will be
even two exceptions consider improbable
The bill was materially changed yesterday. The
commission created by 1t Is obliged to report
charter for the consolidated city by the LIST Of
February next year, and Mayor and other
officers for Greater NewYork are to be elected
in November, 1891 Evidently Tammany has
good hopes Of electlng its candidates at that
time It's zeal in behalf Of the amended bill Is
therefore not hard &c understand. On this basis
consolidation will mean the enlargement and
pcrpetuaton Of Tammany Hall.
The Dupont case was taken up in the Senate
yesterday, Notwithstanding the rumors that an
effort would be made to stave of action on IT,,
and the argument in behalf of Colonel Dupont s
title to his seat was begun by Senator Mitchell,
Of Oregon He reviewed the case with adj
mirable clearness and cogency. He first showed
that II was In violation OF all presidents and OF
established usage and cOmmOn-sense that Mr..
Watson should vote for Senator after having
assumed the duties OF Governor Of Delaware;
and then he maintained with equal force that 1t
was clearly within the power Of the Senate to
pass on the matter on its own account. Mr..
Mitchell's argument will commend itself TO the
sense Of the country, and should not fail to make
a favorable impression on the Senate
The first of the town elections OF the year were
held on Tuesday. While some Democratic gains
are reported. on the whole the Republicans ap-
pear to have held their own, and in some Of the
counties they made phenomenal record. The
weather was decidedly unpleasant and the con-
dition OF the roads was such as to keep many
voters at home. Indications based on the results
Of the spring elections cannot be accepted as
conclusive. but 50 far as the returns have been
received there Is nothing dscouraging about

J. G. Waters (Rep.) of Topeka;
"Under Republican rule values in Kan
sss have gone down until nothing re-
mains. 1t Is one of the lost arts. The
only values we have here In Kansas
are made at the court house door. We
don't need to 90 away from home TO
find fruits of 1t. There are people In
Topeka whose children are kept from
school because they have no shoes.
There are families who do not hsVe suf-

The Populist convention In Sumner

assembled, note with pleasure the men
ton of the name of Judge Lyman
Nsugle, editor of the Voice, in connec-
ton with the Office of Secretary of
State. We desire to say to the people
Of Kansas that the mention of his name
finds Judgement of perfect satisfac-
ton in the hearts of the people of his
home county. He has, since the organ
izstion of the party, been our able
champion in this county and made his
paper, the Voice, one of the very best
in the State. He has the absolute, un.
qualified, warm support of our people.
Sumner county, one of the largest in
the State, has not yet been recognized
on our State ticket, and we give notice
thus early that we shall this year ask
Chis honor of the State convention"

Oh, What q Gang!

The Republican crowd in Kansas is
not improving. No one expected that
it would, however. The late Wichita
convention afforded the bosses an ex-
Cellent opportunity to practice their
peculiar methods. The LesVenworth
Times (Rep.) March 1Srefers editorlslly
to the way things were run down there
as follows:
''Under the rule of the bosses the
people are ignored, bsmboozled or
driven blindfold. And the supposed
representatives of the masses are herded
like dumb sheep. That was how it was
done at the Wichita convention.
without regard to their convictions
or their records or their consclences the
prOmiScuOus crowd were shepherded
by the bosses. Expediency and COM
premise were the motives of every
thing.
1.-THE friends and devotees of the sd-
mlnlstrstion found themselves voting
solid for the man who the other day
pronounced Governor Morrill, a lunatic,
and who has conducted the fercest war
on the administration. The Prohibit
tionists found themselves voting for
the dOughtiest opponent of prohibition
In Kansas. That was typical of the
whole proceedings.
"And no less significant was the fact
that the State convention of the Re-
publicans of Kansas In this Presiden-
tial year framed platform which never
mentions Republican principle, which
has no word to say on the great ma
tionsl and international issues of the
time.
