A communication signed "One Who
Does Not Patronizo Stores That Give
Trading Stamps" says: SEQ in your pa
per where You speak about the people of
Wilmington going to Philadelphia to pur-
chase their goods. Continuing. no says
that the Wilmington merchants do not
treat their customers right. That great
many OF them advertise to give trading
Stamps without having to ask for them.
Several of the merchants who advertise
to give the stamps, say it docs not pay,
but that they have been driven into 1t by
their competitors Tho writer then com.
plains that he knows Of five farmers that
will not do any shopping in Wilmington,
for they are always trying to deprive them
of selling their produce on the streets.
They have 1t SO now that farmer has
no time to do any shopping, as he has to
have his wagon off tie street by o'clock.
All the same, the merchants are not res
Bponsible for driving the farmers from
King and Madison street markets by 2
o'clock. There has to DO some regu alton,
so as to allow the people, in front Of whose
property they stand, to clean the same off.
The excuses of our correspondent are very
poor indeed; In fact, there is not Il. single
argument in his letter. The merchants
OF our city should do twice the business
they have been doing and then the city
would be more prosperous aud our people
would have stores that would be able to
carry alarger line of goods than the pres
ent business outlook warrants The peo.
pic residing down our Peninsula should
DO offered Inducements to shop in our city
irstead Of going on TO Philadelphia to buy
what Is needed in their families.

PRESIDENT McKinley's Civil Services
views are thus set forth in his message
sent to Congress yes, eday:
The import branch of our govern
meut known aS tho Civil Service, the
practical improvement of which has long
been II subject of earnest discu sion has OF
latt years received increased legislative
and executive approval. During the p4sa
few months the service has been placed
upon IL still ilrnpr basis Of business ME IL
DDS and PERSONAL merit. While the right
u our veteran sid ers to Reinstatement
in deserving ca cs has been asserted, dis
1nissals for merely political REASONS lHvo
been carefully guarded against, tho OK
hminhtions for adnttance to the service
enlarged, and ut the same time rendered
less technical and more practical; and II
distinct advance has been made by giving
hearing before dismissal upon all cases
when lncompetency Is charged Or demand
made for the removal of officials in any
Of the departments. This order has been
made to give to the accused his right to
be heard, but without III any way impair
ing the power Of removal, which should
always be exercised in cases Of inellcirncy
and lnconpetcncy, aud which is one OF
the vital Safeguards OF the civil sucvics
reform system, preventing stagnRtiun and
dead wood, and keeping every employee
keenly alive TO the fact that the security
Ol his tenure depends not ON favor, but
on his own Tested and carefully watched
record of service
Much of course still remains to be ac-
complishcd before he syatcm can DO mado
reasonably perfect for our needs. There
are places now IN the classified service
which ought 10 bn exempted, and others
not classified may properly be iucluIed. |
shal! not hesitate . exempt cases which |
tnlnk have been improperly included in
she Classified service, o. include those
which, IN my Judgment, will best p:oDnto
the public service. The system has tho
approval OF the people and it will be my
ondeavor to uphold and ex end 1t.
With all due respect to the Presidents
views thay vii! never re elect him Presi.

sence Of three weeks during which
he has travelled pretty much all over
the country. At its meeting at Sara

Visement and will be heard from IN
three or four days The commission
will be called together to organize and
begin work at Washington about the
middle of September. A number of
experts will be brought before the

historical information and suggestions
that have been submitted to the ex-
ecutlve committee will be turned over
to it. AT the same time Chairman
Hanna invites suggestions from peo-
pie of all classes. giving assurance that
they will be presented to the commits
