The Republicans Must Sustain tho
Civil Service Law.

Civil Service Law.
In the course of the debate on the Legis-
lative, Executive and Judicial Appropria-
ton bill, discussion fell upon Republican
fidelity to both the letter and the spirit OF
the Civil Service law. Congressman BAR
RETT of Massachusetts referred to a similar
discussion Of that particular subject in the
House seven years ago, and quoted the SUBJ
ioined remarks made at that time by a
Republican member:
"If the Republican party OF this country is pledged
20 any one thing more than to another. It 10 to the
maintenance OF the Civil Service law and Its efficient
execution; not only that. but to Its enlargement and
further application to the public service. The law
a. Il stands upon our statute books to-day was put
there by Republican votes. 1t was q Republican
measure. Every national platform OF the Republi
can party since its enactment has declared not only
in favor OF it's continuance in full vigor. but In favor
Of it's enlargement. so as to apply more generally to
tho public service"
"Who said that9' asked somebody.
"Mr. Chairman" replied Mr.. BARRETT,
"that uttcrance was mad by WILLIAM
MCKINLEY of Ohio"
There Is no need to go back so far as that.
The last National Convention Of the Repub-
lican party. held in st. Louis eighteen
months ago, adopted this resolution:
"The Civil Service law was placed on the statute
book by the Republican party. which has always
sustained 1t. and we renew our repeated declarations
that 1t shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced
aud extended wherever practicable"
That declaration renders s%uperfiuous all
argument at the present time concerning
the expediency Of maintaining, in letter and
in spirit, the Civil Service law as it stands;
or the desirability of extending its opera.
lions wherever practicable.
Republicans who may attack it, directly
or indirectly, in the Fifty.lfth Congress
will lose both their time and their wind.
Democrats who may attack it will ac-
complish nothing. They will have the
record of their futile utterances as the only
reward for their pains.
All this Is independent Of any question as
to the merits of the competitive system as
administered, or of the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
tanning it as part of our system. The
place and the time to discuss hat will be
In the National Convention of 1900.
But it is of primary Importance that
great party, intrusted with the control Of
the Government, shall keep Its pledges
and fulfl its promises.

President F. De Haas Robson, president
of the Cleveland Base Ball Association, de-
clared to the Associated Press representa-
tive yesterday afternoon at Cleveland that
there was no big base ball deal in prog
ress, as had been reported. He further
said that while it was true that Messrs.
Brush. Byrne and Abel were there. it
was simply tc discuss the trading around
Of some players, which it was believed
would materially strengthen all the CLUBS
involved. provided a satisfactory agree
ment could be reached.
Mr.. Robson and Mr.. Abel of the Brook
lyn club. who was present at the interview,
said that SO far they had failed to rea, a,h
an agreement on the proposition. and it
began to look as though it would be i'm
possible to do so. Mr.. Robson said that he
believed that 1t would be a good thing for
base ball if it could be so arranged that
there would be a shifting around of play
ers between the various clubs of the Ma
tional League at the end of each season. in
order that the strength of the clubs night
