Edison said recently that "sleep is

INQUIRER.
The final deficit when the
Wilson bill expired was not more
than SD, 100000. A portion of
the revenue toward the end is,
of course, to be accounted for by
the rush of importations to es-
cape the higher duties of the
Dingley bill.
The above. question and an.
swer appeared in the Wheeling
Register of last Sunday. The
esteemed Register should not
mislead its readers in this man
ner. OF course it has not for
gotten the fact that the people of
this country are carrying a bond
ed Indebtedness created during
the operation of the Wilson bill
which, when the principal and
interest shall have been paid,
will aggregate $500. 600, 600.

DOrT on
Civil Service.

klYu OGl ! III.
The Louisville Sunday Com
,,ercia, had a staff correspondent
recently 10 interview Congress
man G. r. Dorr, of West Virginia,
concerning his bill to abolish the
civil service law. In support OF
the measure, the Commercial pub
fishes the following interesting
remarks which were made by the
Congressman at the time:
There is SO much to be said
against it that I hardly know
where to begin. In the first
place. / think it wrong in prin-
ciple. UNI American, and a long
step in the direction of removing
the Government from popular
control. 1t is in fact a part and
marcel of the monarchical idea of
Government. The system origi-
mated in Japan, and was subse-
ouently adopted by China, which
has the best civil service system
and the worst Government in the
world. ,
Tt is in direct conflict with
the fundamental principles upon
which our Government was
founded. George Washington is
on record against it. In his let
ter to Timothy Pickering to 1875
he asserts his opposition to plac-
ing any one in Office not in sym
pathy with the theories Of gov
eminent advocated by the party
in party in power. The same
views were expressed by Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe and other
great founders of our Govern
ment.
The contention of the advo-
Gates of the system that Govern
mental positions should be d.
vorced from politics is the basis
of government itself, and govern
ment is the result of politics.
The two are inseparable. The
object Of of popular suffrage is
to have political questions de-
termined by the people, and the
function of Office is the enforce
ment of the popular verdict. An
abandonment of these element
airy principles and the establish
ment of a select fiee-holdlng
class must lead ultimately to a
menarchical form of Government.
PUBLIC PLACES.
For example, while there are
more than 7o,ooo,ooo people in
the United States, there are, ex-
GLIDING fourth class postmasters
and common laborers and In
dams, only about 10000 positions
not under the classified service,
while there are about $1,000
classified. The annual compen-
sation of the latter is. in round
numbers. $1,000, 600, 900, while
that of the former will not ex.
coed $25, 0oo,O 900 to $50, 900.
Thus we have a sort of royal
family payroll on a little
larger scale, costing US 500, 000.-
900 annually, to say nothing of
the $751; 900 we pay annually for
this privilege to support the
Commission, while the remain
der of the 100000 of our pop
ulation must take the chances at
the remaining pittance until our
monarchical theorists can COM
plete the extension of their sys-
tenn.
Il believe that every new adj
ministration should have the

While there may be q few iso-
lated cases where techinal skill
aud practical experience are es-
sential, I believe that in the main
the spoils should be given the
victors as reward for party ser
vice, subject only to proper and
practical test of efficiency.
AS ENFORCED:

abstract is sound, the manner in
which the law has been admins
teredis enough to condemn it. 1t
has not only failed to secure the
most efficient talent for the pub.
lie service, but it is utterly pow
erless to retain those who are
chosen. Mr.. Justice Bradley, OF
the District Supreme Court, has
recently decided that the power
of removal by the heads of de
partments is unimpaired by the
civil service law. This decision
sustains what has, in fact, been
the practice of the departments
heretofore. This unlimited pow
er of removal fomented and en-
couraged a system espionage and
an army of informers and defam-
ers In the departments under the
last administration, indirectly
countenanced by the commission,
which robbed employees of their
independence anddemoralized the
public service, affecting It's eff
ficiency more than the spoils
system could possibly do.
After this practice had &C.
complished its purpose in sup
planting Republicans with Demo
Gratis, then came the eliminating
act of the outrage, the issuance
of the famous blanket order, ex-
tending the protection of the law
over partisans who were not sub
iected before appointment to any
test of efficiency, much less a
competitive examination. 1t is
an undisputed fact, and is known
to have been admitted by some of
the outgoing Democratic officials
that many of the persons thus
favored are wholly incompetent
for the places they are holding
Then why doesn't the pres
emit administration follow the
course of it's predecessor and re-
move these people ?" l asked.
THAT lisa question l am unable
TO answer; but one thing is GER
tain-unless the present admins
tration takes some active steps to
right this wrong imposed upon
Republicans we are certain to
meet defeat in the Congressional
elections next year, and will
have to make a losing fight upon
this issue in 1900. The Presi.
dent has already taken action
sufficient to indicate that he re-
CARDS himself vested with full
power to do justice to the Repub-
licans who have been thus wrong
ed by the partisan application of
a vicious aud un-American prin-
ciplc."
Mr.. Dorr says that at the regu-
lar session he intends to push his
bill for early action, and feels
confident that if he can get vote
it will pass by an overwhelming

the book for about nine years, and feel re-

the three volumes contains about 200O

somely illustrated. The Government is
printing the work. All | get out OF il is
100 copies. Scientific work pays less than

there is no other way we will drive the

The First Gentleman Of
Europe" introduced at
the Baldwin.
u A Social Highwayman by
the Frawley Company on
the Columbia Stage,
New Stars at the Alcazar-May Buck
ley in Boys Attire-Sixty- Third
Night Of The First Born"

The First Gentleman of Europe"
play by Frances Hodgsoa Burnett and
George Fleming, was put on at the Bald
win Theater last evening by the Frohman
Company. The piece had somewhat of a
go when it was produced in New York,
and may obtain a certain degree OF Juror
in San Francisco, by reason of the court
costumes and the royal swagger OF the
gallants.
The story simply told is that George,
Prince OF Wales, the first gentleman OF
Europe, masoueraded under an assumed
name, and representing himself to be a
colonel of cavalry secured lodgings where
be could make love TO his landlady's
pretty daughter. The daughter fancied
her own sweetheart, who was struggling
with literature, and only consented to
yield 10 the royal suitor TO save her lover
from disgrace and bauIshment.
There was only one scene IN the play
where the Prince acted the gentleman,
and that was when he declined 10 accept
the sacrifice Of he maiden.
The beautiful girl was played by the
stage beauty, Mary Mannering. Edward
Morgan represented The young writer,
George Carteret and James K. Hackett
played the roll of roval masner.
In the bird and fourth acts there was
creditable acting, which the audience ap-
preciated and apDlauded.
A good audience in point of numbers
and quality attended the performance.
The First Gentleman OF Europe" will be
acted at the Baldwin every night this
week.
