continuing his testimony. He criticised the work.
ings of the law in the Indian service saying that

W y. Mailman superintendent OF Indian schools
followed Mr.. Pratt and took opposite view,
holding that the Civil Service system had been IA
vorable to the Indian schools.
He analysed Captain Pratts statistics In regard
TO removals from the Indian schools asserting
that the result highly favorable. The schools
at Carlisle. Penn. and Salem. Ore were, he said
the only schools which did not show this benefit.

Gratis had received the preference under the last
Administration. He declared the imputation to be
untrue and said that he had never inquired into
the politics religion Of persons recommended to

way OF showing preference TO persons OF any par
ticular political faith.

the Typographical Union had advocated the es-
tablishment OF the civil Service system In the
Government Printing Office. saying the trades
unions were favorable 10 the system and that
the International Union had pronounced against IT,
Mr. Proctor responded by quoting resolutions
from the Chicago and Denver unions In support
OF his position. He also showed that the Wash
ngton union had repudiated the action OF It's dele
gates at the Colorado Springs convention, where
The system condemned.

Daniel webster's Last Days.

An aged husbandman at Marsh
field. who remembers Daniel Webster
in his later days very we'll, has given
some one very interesting reminis-
cence Of the statesman as an agricul-
turist, and incidentally drawn a
touching picture of his farewell to
the acres and the possessions he low
ed SO well. Webster. according to this
ancient, loved every tree and flower
on the place. He knew all the stock
and could tell the name OF every ami
NAL upon the farm. He was an enthu-
siastic breeder, and was a fine Judge
Of everything pertaining to farm life
and live stock, although he never
made financial success Of them.
When the end came, and every one,
including himself, realized that he
had but few days more to live, he
ordered the relator of this incident to
drive up to the house all the stock two
by two, and there he reviewed them,
passing his hand lovingly over the
smooth glossy coats, and patting their
TANKS affectionately. When the last
had passed by he turned with sigh
into the house. giving one longing
look behind and never spoke again.
Unconsciously the old farmer has
given here a picture worthy of a
painter or a poet.-Chicago Chron-
