THE CIVIL SERVICE.
It Will BE Placed on Il Still Firrncr
Basis.

Basis.
The important branch of our government
known as the civil service, the practical
Improvement of which has long been a
subject of earnest discussion has of late
years received increased legislative and
executive approval. During the past 1e"
months the service has been placed upon
still frmer basis of business methods
and personal merit. While the right OF
our veteran soldiers to reinstatement IN
deserving cases has been asserted, dismls-
sails for merely political reasons nave
been carefully guarded against the ex-
aminations for Ambulance to the service
enlarged and at the same time rendered
less technical and more practical, and
distinct advance has been made by giving
a hearing before dismissal upon all cases
where incompetency is charged or demand
made for the removal Of othclals In any
of the departments.
This order has been made to give to the
accused his right to be heard but without
in any way impairing the power Of re-
moval which should always be exercised
in cases Of inefficiency and 1ncompetency,
and which is one of the vital safes guards
of the civil service reform system, pre-
venting stagnation and deadwood and
keeping every emplOye keenly alive to the
fact that security of his tenure depends
not on favor but on his own tested ana
carefully watched record OF service.
Room for improvements.
Much Of course still remains to be &C
complished before the system can be made
reasonably perfect for our needs. There
are places now in the classified service
which ought to be exempted, and others
not classified may properly be included.
| shall not hesitate to exempt cases which [
! think have been improperly included IN
| the classified service or include those
which in my judgment will best promote
! the public service. The system has the
| approval of the people and it will be my
| endeavor to uphold and extend it.
| I am forced by the length of this mess
| age to omit many important references to
| affairs of the government with which
! congress will have to deal at the present
session They are fully discussed in the
| departmental reports, to all Of which
/ invite your earnest attention.
/ The estimates Of the expenses of the gov
t eminent by the several departments, will,
/ 7 am sure, have your careful scrutiny.
/ While the congress may not find it any
| easy task to reduce the expenses Of tho
T government, it should not encourage their
| increase These expenses will, in my
judgment, admit of a decrease in many
| branches Of the government without injury
| to the public service. It is a commanding
duty to keep the appropriations within the
| receipts Of the government and thus avoid
| q deficit WILLIAM MKINLEY.

Is Salt Necessary

All vegetarians, it is said, disapprove,
for the most part, of artificial seasoning,
though many of them still continue the
use of common salt It seems in no way
to build up the body, and those who dis
pense with it altogether soon experience
an Improvement in the sense of taste
which adds greatly to the enjoyment of
food. Some writer's have asserted that it
is not possible to exist without salt, that
the want of it causes a softening of the
bones Others assert that all plants con-
tain salt sufficient fer the requirements
of the system.

From the Daily Traveller.

From the Daily TraVeler.
Some OF the women folks In the Fourth
ward have been annoyed by good siz-
ed boy peeping in their windows wnen
they were undressing for bed. The young
fellow mad big spy glass which ne
used to bring the charms Of the women
s closely 10 him as possible. Last night
he was caught in the act and given a
good humping.
At o'clock this morning Ed Purdy
and William Sink were arrested by
Constable Gray and put in jail. They
are charged with enticing young girls
into crooked paths and lewd and immor-
al conduct. 1t is claimed that last even
ing Purdy and Sink got q rig and took
two young girls out for time. They
ali drank beer and the girls became in
toxicated. About o'clock the livery
man heard that the quartette was run
ming the horses up and down Sixth sreet
He sent a man out after the rig. The
man found the party on Sixth street and
he took the rig from them and brought
il back to the stable. The girls then
went TO Maud Stewart's house, but she
refused to let them in. The girls finally
wound up at one of their homes where
they sneaked in and went to bed. he
boys were taken into Judge Dunn's court
and their trial set for a week from to-
day. Their bond was fixed at $500. The
parents OF the girls will prosecute the
case. The girls names were Phelps and
Farmer.

COTTON.

New York. Sept. l6.-The cotton morket
opened steady with a gain OF 30i points

south. The market continued 10 ease off
following the call under subsequent Liv-
erpool cables reporting an unsettled feel

DRY GOODS Markets

alton Is a changeable one just al present.
The early buying has been followed at
first hands by relaxed efforts on the part
OF buyers and the reaction has now become
general. Joobers, too, are beginning to feel
a let-up in the heavy buying OF the past
few weeks. Staple cottons are firm and
there is considerable activity continuing
in both brown and bleached goods. without
decided increase in the demand noted IN
any particular grades. Export goods are
still quiet on all suitable lines. Print
cloths are firm at 25sc. Manufacturers still
refuse to recede from their position, al
though the sales of the week have been
light. Odds are firm without feature. Prints
remain in good demand in both fances
and staples. The market is a strong one,
but 1t is doubtful now whether open ad-
vanceS are still 10 be expected
