to interfere with it SO long as it was con-
fined to what was claimed to be it's in
tent by Its inventors.
But when Mr.. Cleveland assumed to le-
peal laws that had been on the statute
books and had been duly honored by tie
government IN all its departments for
some three decades, Withou. any regard TO
the lawmakins power OF any proper au-
thorlty for his action, rup:'c attention be-
came aroused at these acss Of usurpation.
and public sentiment began to assert itself
against his indefenslble conduct, and then
an issue began to develop, that is grow
ing daily in power, and which will not
down until Congress has thrown such
safeguards around the people and their
laws and rights as will dlsAvoY all fu-
ture usurpations of eX ecutive power
There was no organized opposition to
the civil service commission until the REQ
pie discovered that it had been seized
upon by the President to enable him 20
commit grieVouS wrongs in it's name Tire
extensions of the law far beyond the limit
of it's intents has aroused public senti-
ment that has come to stay, and which
will never be placated Until the wrongs
thus committed have been fully riShted
and the future is carefully guarded against
their repetition.
But the democrats and their allies in
this scheme for republican overthrow row
taunt with a reminder that this is re-
publican law and republicans are bouEd
to respect 1t. Let us see. History tells
us that this law was of Democratic origin;
that II was passed under SESpens ion
of the rules, for which there was no ex-
listing emergency, except in the minis of
the architects of the pending scheme, ard,
hence, it, must be fastened into existence
There have been thousands of births of
that kind in this world that have reflect
ed no honor upon their parentase
Now that We have the civil service law
with us and it's capacities for mischief
have been amply developed by the grasp
ing hand of Mr.. Cleveland, the people
will take this matter in hand, and the
abuses under this law will be atoned for
at the ballot box. The line is being drawn,
and all who indOrse the wrongs committed
by him and who seek to perpetuate their
wrongs through the statutes will find a
reckoning day within the next three years
No cry of 'spoils and plumber will avail
when hurled against republicans who op-
pose the abuses under the civil service
law, for the people do not readily discover
why that anathema may not be as justly
applied to the President, the Vice Presi-
dent, cabinet ministers, senators and
members of Congress, who receive their
salaries as the reward Of their party tri-
umpn, are not as much spoiIsmen as those
who prefer to leave the matter of filling
offices with the people and their proper
representatives. rather than to a modern
invention, which, while it processes to be
non-partisan, finds a way to secure a ma
jority of places for democrats

The First Cabs.
From the Gentleman,s Magazine.


Like the buses, cabs were introduced
from Paris, but some ten years earlier, or
say, about 1890. Although it's type was
not at all settled, the cabriolet was little
hood-shaped vehicle, quite above its axle
ard therefore very high and difficult to get
into. 1t was only intended to carry one
passenger, though two slim ones who did
not mind squeezing could generally man.
age to find room. The driver sat on a little
shelf or perch on the right-hand side, quite
outside the body of the machine. This was
an English innovation. In Paris driver and
fare shared the same seat, and this was
continued here for private cabrioets.
The ingenious Mr.. Joseph Hanson, who
was an architect of Hinckley, Leicester
shire, however, bethought him in 1884 that
if he used larger wheels and suspended the
body of the cab between them, the vehicle
would hold two easily, or three at pinch,
would balance better, be easier to draw.
and safer If the horse fell. Further i'm
proved by putting the driver behind and
the axle under the seat, the invention soon
made it's way, and by the fifties the hanson
was as much the favorite cab of London as
it is today. The original patent is dated

Why Some Husbands Are Untidy.
From the Chicago News.

Why Some Husbands Are Untfdy.
From the Chicago News.
Women are often accused of becoming
careless about their dress and style of hair
dressing after marriage, and the reason for
this Is speculated upon. Here Is the other
side Of the question:
II found out the other day why all mar
ried men, or almost all married men, are
so slovenly regarding their Dress" said
a married man recently. mo matter how
much Of q dandy the man may have been
before marriage, as rule he begins to
show unmistakable signs, shortly after
ward, that he cares nothing about his per-
Sonal appearance. 1t has been popularity
supposed that the reason for this is be-
cause man, once he is married, thinks
is ended. and that he can wear soiled
liEen and old clothes. to his hearts con-
tent. or because the wife does not think to
have clean collars and cuffs laid on hand
for him. The idea is all wrong, for all
women like to have their husbands look
well, and at least clean, for they well
know it is reflection upon themselves if
the husband looks otherwise and they are
too selfish to want any such notion to
gain credence. The real reason, however
is jealousy. A friend of mine, when [
asked him why he always wore the same
recktie, told me that if he changed his
tie or clothes or shirt, and often If he
shaved himself, his wife thought 1t was
because he wanted to look nice for some
ether woman's benefit until, out of sheer
desperation, he preferred to go about look
ing almost unkempt rather than have his
wife nag at him.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
History of the Present Law and It's
Development.


Development.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your issue of the 18th instant 1 notice
a communication on the subject Of civil
service reform, over the signature of -.
B. F. which challenges some attention
The broad assumption of your correspond
ent as 1 understand his premises, is that
he cannot understand why any respecta-
BILE citizen Of the United States should OBJ
ject to the progress made in civil service
reform, and wish to go back on the brutal
and demoralizing spoils system, surpasses
my comprehension" He further states,
The assumption that a majority of the
people do not prefer the merit system, the
wish is father to the thought If the ques-
ton is made an issue, and the matter thor
oughly discussed before the people, a
large majority will be found ranged under
the banner of civil service REFORM, etc:
The writer also assumes, generally, that
il let alone the present civil service Will
bring to this nation political millennium,
and his assumptions and conclusions nat
uIally attract attention and lead 10
desire to discuss the question on its merits,
without passion or prejudice IN the hsht
of experience.
When and how did the civil service re-
form law find a place among the laws vi
the United States? Did the people petit
ton Congress to pass such statute! III
So the records of Congress Will snow IL.
Let them be produced. The law was placed
on the statute book in 1888 by repuon-
can Congress- but the paternity of the Dill
was with Senator Pendleton, democrat
of Ohio The inspirers of the bill were a
political faction known as mugwumps, VINO
saw no political future for themselves, ex-
cent through some such machinery as the
civil service measure has afforded them
However, they succeeded in securing the
services of Senator Pendleton In settins
the measure before Congress. The law
after it had hung between life and death
for a season in both houses was hnally
passed under suspension Of the rules,
and the sickly affair gave no evidence OF
healthy vitality until Grover Cleveland be-
came President. Up to that period 1t mad

cal force of the government, and hence at
tracted very little attention beyond the
ridicule cast upon the absurd questions
propounded to applicants for position.
These were SO nonsensical, so lily adapt

much of a farce
The commission up to that date had only
been extended to its original intents-that

agency. Nobody had cared much for civil

Things About q Watch.

From the jewellers Review.
Open your watch and look at the little
wheels. springs and screws, each an indis-
rensable part OF the whole wonderful ma
chine. Notice the busy little balance wheel
as it flies to and fro increasingly day and
night, year in and year out This wonder
full machine is the result of hundreds of
years Of study and experiment.
The watch carried by the average man is
composed of ninety-eight pieces. and its
manufacture embraces more than 2,OOO dis
tinct and separate operations. Some Of the
smallest screws are so minute that the I'M
aided eye cannot distinguish them from
steel filings or specks Of dirt. Under a
powerful magnifying glass, a perfect screw
is revealed. The slit in the head is 2-1OO
of an inch wide 1t takes 30S 600 of these
screws to weigh pound. and a pound is
worth 1,5S5. The hairs pring is a strip of
the finest steel, about 81 inches long, LOO
of an inch wide, and 27-7O,0OO of an inch
thick. 1t is coiled Up in spiral form ard
finely tempered. The process Of tempering
these springs was long held a secret by
the few fortunate ones possessing it, and
even now is not generally known. Their
manufacture requires great skill and care.
The strip is gagged to 2O-1OO of an inch, but
no measuring instrument has as yet been de-
yised capable of fine enough gauging to
determine beforehand by the size of the
strip what the strength of the finished
SpIlES VIII De- "A SO-tUOUUtn part OF an
inch difference in the thickness of the strip
makes difference in the running of a
watch of about six minutes per hour.
The value of these springs when finished
ano placed In watches Is enormous in pro-
portion to the material from which they
were made. A ton of steel made I'D into
hairsprings when In watches Is worth more
than twelve and one-half times the value
OF the same in pure gold. HairsprinR wire
weighs one-twentieth Of grain to the
inch. One mile of wire weighs less than
half pound. The balance gives five VI
brations every second. 800 every minute.
$1,000 every hour, $500 every day. and
157. 6SO.0C0 every year. At each vibration
1t rotates about one and one-fourth times
which makes 1871. 100000 revolutions every
year. Take. for illustration. q locomotive
with six-foot driving wheels. Let it's
wheels be run until they have given the
same number Of revolutions that q watch
does In one year, and they will have COW
cred q distance equal to twenty-eight COM
plete circuits OF the earth. All this q watch
does without other attention than winding
once every twenty-four hours.
