The Debate i'm the House.

Associated Press Dispatch
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-The House
spent the day in consideration of the legis-
lative, executive and judicial appropriation
bills Eighty-nine of the 112 pages of the
bill were covered, and only one amendment
of Importance was adopted. 1t reduced the
clerical force at the Pension Office by nine
ty-fve, involving a reduction in salaries of
$l15,O ,OOO The civil-service question, as on
yesterday, was the chief topic of discussion
to-day and the proposition of Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip to re-
tire clerks for age was made the text for
denunciation by Mr.. Moody, of Massa-
chusetts, and Mr.. Johnson, of Indiana, both
of whom are defenders of the civil-service
law.
Mr. Moody called attention to what he
termed the extraordinary proposition" ad-
vocated by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Vanderlip in interview pub
lished this morning. In that interview, Mr..
Moody said, Mr. Vanderlip proposed to es-
tablish in the Treasury Department what
in effect would be a civil pension list. AS
one of those who believed in the merit sys-
tenn, he thought Congress ought to meet
this proposition at the threshold. II this
system which we support is TO lead 10 the
OF eY e peope llo5 oGght to
wipe it out of existence. General appllause.l
AS friend of civil-service reform" said
he II say it's worst enemies are not those
who are fighting it openly like General
GrosVenor but men like the author of this
proposition who sits in the Cabinet by the
side of President Mckinley" (Applause(
Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, declared that
the last census conducted under the spols
system was notorously inefficient, and ex-
pressed his regret if this important work
was to be inefficiently done. He also said
he shared Mr.. Moody's indignation, over the
proposition of Mr.. Vanderlip and said it
was particularly. unfortunate at this mop
superior, Mr.. Gage, should admonish him.
His proposition violated the spirit and letter
of the law Mr.. Johnson was besieged with
questions from those clustered about him.
But he held his own declaring that the
government was not conducted for the pur-
pose of providing for men in their old age.
They should do, he said, as others did,
provide for a rainy day.
Speeches were also made by Mr. Quigs:
Mr. Pearson and others. At the opening of
the session a resolution for the holiday re-
cess from Saturday Dec. 49, to Jan. ., Of
fered by Mr. Dingley, from the committee
on ways and means, was adopted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Mr johnson, of
Indiana, turned himself loose again to-day
on civil service. Mr.. Johnson followed Mr..
Moody, of Massachusetts, and they were
both indignant and horror stricken over
Secretary Cages order reducing employees
of the Treasury Department above the age
of seventy years to a uniform salary of
$500, thereby taking initial steps for the
creation of u civil pension list. This is the
stand which is being taken by the ultra
civil-service reformers, who wax very in
dignant when the charge is made that the
logical and inevitable consequence of the
merit system is a civil pension roll. This
is a proposition the reformers deny, but
the "spoilsmen'' rub the charge in on them
on every occasion. The aforesaid ''spoils-
men" were in state of great glee over the
turn which the discussion took to-day
One of the schemes which will be pre-
sented for the consideration of the caucus
committee of the anti-civil service Repub-
licans now engaged in the construction Of
a civil-service bill along the lines of "prac-
tical reform will be that of substituting
for the examination system which is now
in vogue a plan of appointment of govern
ment clerks and employees something on the
order Of that which governs the appoint
ment and selection of cadets to the military
and naval schools at West Point and An
napolis, respectively; that is, giving to con-
gressmen the right of naming such en-
ployes as vacancies occur and adhering
rigidly to a system which will give to each
congressional district a proper representa-
ton on the pay rolls AS part of this
scheme it is proposed to fix tenure of
office and to provide for a probationary
period in order to give appointees chance
to prove their efficiency. This latter propo-
sition is suggested by the old method which
controlled in the railway mail service and
which proved very satisfactory. 1t is not
improbable that this idea will gain con-
siderable favor when it comes to be dis
cussed, and may prove very attractive to
members of Congress. Whether it will mus
ter sufficient friends to substitute it for the
existing system or to become a part of the
civil-service law remains to be seen.

James Michael is the champion long
distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all wheelmen to
take Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that of thousands
OF others. With the opening of the
bicycle season many young person and
hundreds of older people who have de-
termined to take up bicycling as a
health-giving exercise find themselves
really lacking the proper "snap" or
stamina to begin on. Their bodily
condition prevents so spirited exercise.
They would like to ride, but they are
out of sorts, run down by winter of
work or indoor life. Many who are
really sick, who have suffered from
debility or wasting diseases for q long
time until they had begun to think
their troubles had become chronic, as
nothing gave them relief, would turn
to bicycling for relief. But this splen.
did exercise, like any other, requires
strength to undertake. The blood is
out of order, the nerves deranged, and
natures food for both is needed.
All such persons will find to theil
immense joy that Paine's celery com.
pound, taken now, will make them well
Paine's celery compound works won
ders in the spring. If you have labored
under the load of repeated headaches
neuralgia pains and days of nervous de
bility, now is your best time to get we'll
Michael is today the most phenomena
rider in professional ranks. AS ia,
back as 1894 he was undisputed cham
pion of Great Britain, and in the fol
lowing year he went to France anc
scored twenty-five straight wins against
the picked riders of Europe. He ha,
defeated such famous men as Jacquelin
Gougoltz, Huret, Rivierre, Bonhours
Bourrillon and Barden of England, and
Leyten, the Belgian champion.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins 6 Company's Review
of Trade.

Downing, Hopkins 6 Company's Review
of Trade.
There was a good trade and active
market in wheat during the past week,
fluctuations covering "a range. Oper-
ations were somewhat enlarged, and
towards the end of the week orders
from the country more numerous. The
feeling developed was stronger and
higher prices ruled, all of which was
maintained, and the close shows an adj
vance of 7Ac, with final trades in May
at 1890 and July 1870. The holiday
on Friday had a tendency to curtail
operations during the middle of the
week, but commencing with the first
tap of the bell on Saturday there was
good general trade and the largest gain
for single day in the week was scored
on that day, May advancing from
SO 3-Sc at the opening, to 7Sc at the
close. Heavy short traders were the
principal buyers, but they were first
goaded into action by some energetic
buying for long and foreign accounts.
In the midst of rejoicings over their
ItCcnG SeTles VI DTlllldllG VICTORIES, tne
bears seemed to forget their experience
of only two years ago. On April OF
that year, May wheat sold at 54c, but
then began to climb, and the market
scarcely halted until so 3-Sc was reach
ed on May 30 the same year. A great
many bruins We're hurt in that 30 5-Sc
rise. The visible supply was in that
year, on March l, 7S, 762, 900; April l,
74,30S,000 bushels against 81, roo, 900
bushels at present. Chicago stocks
April /, 1895, were &c, ,454, 900 bushels
against present stock of 10000, 900
bushels. Nor was there at that time
any shortage in the wheat crops of other
countries, and no one was reading
column day about ''the war in
Crete" The SOC rise came "just the
same" We are not called upon to
state whether or not such an advance
will occur during the same period this
year. We do know, however, that it
has been many years since domestic
supply has been so low as at present,
and about as long since the worlds sup
ply has been down before where it il
now.

He has just returned from Europe
and is now ready to join the racing men
on the Pacific coast, despite the large
amount of work he has gone through
during the past months.
Michael has made cycle racing care
full study, and is in position to give
excellent advice not only to racing men
but to wheelmen and athletes in gen.
eral. In reference to his own methods
the following letter will interest every
body:
Boston, Mass, Feb. 81, 1897.
After the eXertion of my record rides
while with the Morgan q Wright team
in the south last winter, during which
l lost somewhat in weight, on account
of the unaccustomed climate, was adj
vised to use Paine's celery compound.
l am pleased to say that it gave such
satisfaction that | was impelled to use
it again to brace up from the effects Of
the two unusually rough ocean trips
that | have taken during the past
month. believe that wheemen who
have to undergo the hardships of ''cir-
cult chasing" will find Paine's celery
compound of assistance in keeping up
their physical tone.
JIMMY MICHAEL.
Every one needs to take spring rem
edy to purify their blood, arouse the
circulation and counteract the debilitat-
ing effect of months of contining work,
worry and excitement.
The more intelligent portion of every
community are the ones who best rec
ommend Paine's celery compound.
They have looked into this great rem
edy, followed its remarkable achieve
ments in the case of friends, neighbors
and relatives, and know just what to
expect from its use as II nerve and brain
strengthener and restorer and an ideal
invigorator for rundown system.
