It was stated in Washington dispatch the other day that Repubi- can leaders were rejoicing oyer the discovery that while pension ex amining boards could not be changed by the head of the bureau, the law permitted the appointment of as many boards as were thought neces= sary In the light of this discovery it has been decided to appoint Republican boards wherever there were Democratic boards and turn over the work to the former.
 There is cause for more rejoicing in the ranks of the faithful In the report that Major Mckinley has de cided to reoroanize the Civil Service Commission. With this body re organized to the taste of the admin istration, the work of eircumyent- ing the civil service law and of over. throwing all that has been accom- plished for civil service reform will be done quietly and easily. There will be no one to cry out against the violations of tbe law.

The whole 1ttffings has been debased to the level of 8 disgusting sham Rcpub{ic
