The recent discussion OF the civil service
reform lGv in the House and the debate
I'm the Senate yesterday have called SO
much attention TO the subject that friends
of the law have looked up the vie VS. of
the President at the time he was a mem
Der of Congress. The situation today is
so similar to the situation then that an
extract from Mr.. McKiniey's remarks
on the subject of civil service is excel.
ingly spropos. 1t was on April 24
1890 en- q motion 10 strike from an ap-
Precipitation biz the provision Tor the civil
service commission that Mr. Mckinley
arising at bis desk said:
MT. Chairman, in the single moment
that ! have / desire to say that am op-
posed To the amendment to strike from this
bill the appropriation for the execution of
the civil service law. My only regret
is that the Committee on Appropriations
Gid not give TO the commission all the ap-
DropHatior that was asked for for the
improvement and extension of the system.
If the ReI ublican party Of this country is
pledged 70 any one thing more than to
another it is to the maintenance Of the
civil service law and its efficient execu-
tion; not only that, but 10 its enlargem 4nt
and further application 10 the public
service.
The law that stands upon our statute
books today was put there by Republican
votes. 1t was a Republican measure
Every natioral platform of the Repub-
lican party since its enactment has de
claEed not only in favor OF its continuance
in full vigor, but. in favor OF its en-
largenent 81 as to apply more generally
TO the public service. And this, Mr.. Chair
man, is not alone the declaration and
purpose of the Republican party, but it is
in accordance with its highest and best
sentiInent-ay, more, IT is sustained by
the best sentiment of the whole coun-
try, Republican aud, democratic alike
And there is not hlap on this floor who
does not know that'nos party in this ooun-
try, Democrat OF Republican,, VIII have
the courage t. wipe il from the statute
book, or amend it save in the direction
OF it's Improvement. r
Look at our situation today. When
this party of ours has control of Ill che
branches OF the Gexernulent. it is pro
posed to annul this l&wiby Withholding ap-
preparations for itsf execution, when FOR
four years under "a Democratic Admins
tration nobody on this side OF the House
had the temerity to rise in his place and
make motion similar ta the one now
pending for the nullification of this law.
We thought it was good then, good enough
for Democratic administration; and ray
to my Republican associates it is good
enough for Republican Administration;
it is good and wholesome for the Whole
country If the law is not administered
in letter and spirit impartially, the PreSi-
dent can and VIII supply the remedy"

the newest designs seen in this domestic
fabric. II cannot be purchased by the

lengths for either purpose The embroid-
cry on the portiere runs down one side
and across the bottom; it is done in
white, and the pattern is trifle heavier

forming an attractive border Both Of
these articles have finish Of fringe.
The denim comes in all the prevailing
shades, blue, pink, red, sage green, old
rose and Spanish brown. Some of the
articles are further enhanced with a
geometrical design in white, appliqucd
on in the middle, and on this is little

body of the material. Screens also come
to match all of these. Couch covers are

Have You
An Account :?

This is a serious question
one at which some folks tax,
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children i'll
atliuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
SO frequently and so calefully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-
sists of the luxuries and deli
cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue

TACOMA, July 23.-Frank j. Cotter,
who has been suspended from the ANA
teur racing ranks until an investigation
can be made of the charge that he is
professional. feels aggrieved that his acts
should be criticised. as he has always
rode fairly and never accepted one cent
for riding. The charge was preferred by
Seattle rider. who complains to the rae
ing board that Cotter works for a bicycle
firm and rides in their interest If this Is
SO. Cotter is professional. He claims,
though, that such is not the case. He
rides Falcon wheel and is working for
the Tacoma agents so as to pay for the
wheel he rides.
Cotter has great many friends and adj
mirers in Tacoma who would dislike very
much to see him adjudxed professional
when he Is doing SO well In the amateur
ranks. He will be missed from tomor-
rows blue ribbon meet, as he and Lo-
renzo Dow are riding in about the same
form and capable of putting up eyelash
finishes.
