The election of Representative
the United States Senate does not change
the make up of that body on the currency
question. They are both free silver
Democrats but just where Senator Mallory
stands on the tariff question is yet in
determinable, but it is thought that he
has strong leaning towards the protec-
ton idea, at least so far as it might
affect the interests of the locality which
he specially represents.

We think Senator Chambers proposal
to send fleet and army to Cuba to stor
the war there is far more defensible
logically than the recognition of the
belligerency Of the rebels which the Senate
resolution calls for Humanitarian
grounds are the only ones that will justify
any interference on our part, and they
will justify only such interference as has
direct tendency to put an end to the
barbarism and atrocities of which we
complain. Recognition of belligereney
has only very slight tendency in that
direction, if any If we are going to dc
anything at all we ought to do that which
will amount 70 something.

Senator Aldrich who is supposed TO
have drawn the sugar schedule of the
Senate tariff bill Is going TO explain it
this week. There is no schedule in the
bill which has aroused so much adverse
criticism as this one, and if senator Al
drich can expl iin it to the satisfaction of
the public he can not be too quick about
it. There have been many ugly
rumors growing out of this schedule and
for the good name of the Senate they
ought to be set at rest promptly.

THE CIVIL ERVIC
Some of Mr. Cleveland's Extensions May
Have to Give Way.
Claim That They Were Made for Par
tisnn PurpOses-Congress to
Consider the Matter.

1t is regarded as probable that some OF
the civil service extensions made by Mr.
Cleveland before his retirement will have
to give way. Nothing definite has yet
been decided in the matter, and it is
known that President Mckinley is reluct-
ant to take any action wl1ich Will give any
excuse for the statement that he is not in
thorough sympathy with civil service re-
form. He was one of the early advocates
of this reform and his position is well
known. There is no doubt about his in
tention to maintain honest civil service re-
form. Some of the extensions of the classi-
fled service by Mr.. Cleveland were made
SO evidently in partisan spirit for the
purpose Of maintaining in office people ap-
pointed by him without civil service ex-
animation, that it is held to he but simple
justice to the new administration and fer
the benefit of the service that the exten-
sions should be revoked.
No Letting Down the Bars.
There Is no possible danger of the new ad
mnistration letting down the bars gener-
any SO. as to turn Office seekers into the
pasture which is now guarded by a barbed
wire fence. Every proper extension of the
classified service which has been made will
be allowed to stand, and both the letter
and the spirit of the law will be observed.
II Is not DelcNeQ lnat every extension
made merely to benefit Individual favorites
of the late administration, contrary to the
spirit of the law, will pc permitted to stand.
1t is a delicatae matter to deal with, but
1t is thought line of action so obviously
just and proper can be dxed upon that the
desirable notifications can be made with
out warranting criticism. 1t is likely that
the President will take the sense of Con-
gress on this matter though he will not go
as far as Congress would be willing to go.
The matter is being Investigated, and list
is being made of those extensions by Mr..
Cleveland which were obviously made to
keep democrats in Office and to embarrass
the incoming administration.
To Come Up In Congress.
Soon after Congress reconvenes it is ex-
pected to bring the matter up in the House,
and it Is said that some of the facts dis
closed will be discreditabe to the civil
service reform pretentiens of Mr.. Cleve-
land. One extension, for instance, was
made in the face of decision by the
Supreme Court that the class of persons
covered by it We're not actually govern
ment employees, their pay being derived
from fees collected for services performed.
This extension, like several others, Was
made upon the avo~ed theory that, though
the extension was not warranted, 1T would
embarrass President Mckinley to take
any steps backward and that he would
have tC let II stand

handshake from Mr. Francis, ana wished
him success in his return to private life.
This was busy day At the Interior De-
partment. Notwithstanding it was cabinet
day, Mr.. Bliss received large number Of
callers. His method Of work is something
new to Washington, and evidently has
merit. for today he gave orders that no
one should be turned away. and at the
same time he disposed of all the routine
business that came to his desk. He would
see few callers and then return to his
work in his inner office. debating corre-
spondence for a time, Irst to one stenog-
rapher and then another, until he had load
ed his force with all they could do. Then
he went over special reports and state
ments, called in various chiefs af divisions
the chief clerk, Jn1ge Womacx and finally
Appointment Clerk Holcomp.
At intervals he came out to see those who
were waiting to see him, met all cordially
listened to the various business errands
and then went back to his room to let the
waiting room fill up again.
Callers Today.
Among Mr.. Bliss callers today were SEN
ator Spooner of Wisconsin, Senator Carter
of Montana, with Messrs. Boynton, Dunn
and Fisk of his state General Dudley of
Indiana, Senator Wood of Kentucky, with
Major Baber of that state: Gen. David B.
Henderson of Iowa, and Clarence Winthrop
Bowen of the New York Independent. Sen
ator Thomas c. Platt also spent few min
utes with the new Secretary.
At the Post Office Department restful
quiet prevailed. all comers receiving the
Intelligence that this was cabinet day and
that the Postmaster General would receive
TO callers. The only sound that disturbed
the idylic silence of the place was the busy
clatter of many typewriters engaged in no
tifying several thousand Americans that
the new Postmaster General has but two
offices at his disposal in the department,
and that he must politely refer them to the
United States civil service commission.
