Want Positions as GaugerS.

The Baltimore Am~rican of Wednesday
says:
There seems to linger crude unwill-
ingness in the minds Of many men to be-
lieve in the extensive scope of the juris-
diction of the Civil Service Commission.
A despatch printed in this mornings pa
pers announces that nearly 300 men had
applied to the various representatives from
Maryland in the next Congress for APP
pointment as gaugers and storekeepers.
There ought certainly by this time to be
no longer any excuse for such ignorance
on the part of otficeseekers. There are in
the Maryland internal revenue district
twenty nine gaugers, whose salaries range
from three to five dollars per day; there
are twenty seven storekeepers, whose sal
ary ranges from two to three dollars and
a half day, and then there are twenty
eight men who are both storekeepers and
gaugers at a salary between two and three
dollars day.
EVERY one of these men, said an Off
cial of the Civil Service Commission to
the american correspondent today, is in
the classified service. They can, of course.
be removed for cause, but their removal
will not benefit any applicant for their
place, since the vacancy must be filled in
the regular way-by requisitiOn from
list of men who have become eligible by
passing the necessary civil service exami-
nation. The collector Of internal revenue
has been stripped of every bit of political
patronage. He can select his cashier from
outside the classified list. but not even his
deputies are his to appoint, because they
are now included in the classified service
The men who are making application for
these places are simply wasting their time.
The proper place to make application is
the Burea of the Civil Service Commission
and there they can only apply for per
mission to take the next examination that
will be held in Baltimore for appointment
to the position of gauger or storekeeper.
No representative or senator can help
them Candidates for the appraserships
or the assistant appraiserships at Balti-
more are more fortunate for these officers
are not under the civil service rules

Gladness Comes

\A/lth a better understanding OF tne
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge. that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system. which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laNatives or
9th n remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most Sklllful
physicians. but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

There Is a complaint among Ameri-
cans directly and personally interested
in the extension of our foreign trade
that the consular service OF the United
States is phenomenally inefficient. They
find the consuls. in many places, utterly
Indifferent to the interests they are ap-
pointed to subserve. or else Incompetent
to do things which are clearly within
the scope OF their official duties. The
trouble is. that the wave Of Cleveland
ism swept out OF the service the Repub-
licans then in Office. and replaced them
by job lot OF the cheapest politicians,
especially in the minor places, These
men know nothing of business methods,
have no real conception of what they
might do TO promote the commercial in
terests of this country. and are incom-
petent to carry out these objects, even
If they understood them. A consul is
a commercial agent. His business is
like that of commercial traveler-to
drum up business for the United States,
and to seek extension of our trade in
the district under his charge He
should have good business head. un-
derstand the qualities and values OF
the goods sent from his district to this
country, that he may be able to certify
that they are not undervalued in the in
voices, and should be able to write re-
ports involving research. and present
the results in intelligent form. Our
abroad are not men OF this
stamp, as a rule. And. worse than all.
by putting the bulk of the consular Of
fees under civil service rules. Cleveland
has prepared lot OF soft berths" for
the present Democratic incumbents.
The consular service should have a |
overhauling at the hands OF
the new administration. If the civil I
service law has been invoked so as to
shield lot Of incompetents, II should |
be amended so that they may be weed
ID out Our consuls should be men Of
Affairs. not decayed politicians or petty
party hustlers. Why waste money on

Sleep is almost impossible, and under
such a strain men are scarcely respon-
sible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea Of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better
take a dose Of poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providential inspira-
tion came to his aid in the shape Of
combination Of medicines that not only
completely restored the general health,
but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts
to natural size and vigor and he now
declares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and ad-
dress may have the method Of this won
