Tom Reed Says It Must Re "Reorgani.ed"

by Republicans.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-"There must
be a complete reorganization Of the civ
il service as soon as the Republican
party comes into power" said Speaker
Reed. The big man from Maine was
discussing with q friend the barren out
look that confronted Republican office
made by President Cleveland. While
it is hardly reasonable to assume that
Mr.. Reed speaks for Mckinley on any
particular policy, he voices the sentf-
ment of nearly all the Republicans in
congress who say the civil service must
be reorganized and the inference is
that it is to 'organize" out that large
class of Democrats who were appoint
ed by President Cleveland and organ
ize" in many Republicans.
Congressman Cannon, Of Illinois, is
outspoken for the alleged reform and
reorganization but he has an idea that
the chief point sought for should be
economy. He wants the beginner in
the civil service to start at $500 or $500
a year, instead of about double that sal
ary, which is now held out as a tempt
ing bait by the government to enter
prising men and women to enter the
service. It is not clear what form the
reorganization will take. Just now il
is only nebulous speculation by con.
gressmen. but it is pronounced that, un-
less President-elect Mckinley takes q
firm stand for the present arrange
ment, the fences which President Cleve-
land has erected around his govern
ment clerks will he broken down

The price of wool is the all
absorbing topic of conversation
with those engaged in the sheep
business. For a number of weeks
past the outlook has been very fa-
vorable, and there has been a gen.
eral belief that this seasons clip
would bring from 1 to cents per
pound more than the same grade
brought last year. Much depends.
however, on the work of the tariff
makers at Washington during this
month, particularly the first IS OF
20 days, prior to the time of the
bulk of the sales. In the mean
time wool buyers will come in
and it will be an important part OF
their business to hammer down
prices to the lowest possible point.
Our people should not be too has
ty in disposing of their wool un.
less they are satisfied that they
have chance to get a fair equiv.
alent tor it. 1t is always a good
time to sell when a fair price is
offered, and the PRESS would say
that anyone is unwise who would
not accept good offer. Wool is
certainly worth more now thar
it was a year ago, notwithstand'
ing the fact that there is large
amount of it on hand in the Uni
ted States.

The Northern Pacific and Great

route ever known over which
through freight billing can be con-
Quoted. The system covers two
seas. one continent and large por.
tions of another, Freight can now
be billed through from Cbjns to
Russia via the United $tates.
Freight shipped from Chtna or
Japan, comes to the United States
via the Northern Pacific or the Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha line of steamers
to Puget Sound. Here the two great
continental roads take the shipments
and carry them to Duluth. At this
point the Great Northern ships and
those of the Northern Pacific, take
the consignments and deliver them
to the Baltimore and Ohio road at
Fairport, O., $50 miles west of Buff
falo. The Baltimore & Ohio delivers
the freight to the transatlantic
ports for shipment to Europe. 1t is
believed that in time the Nippon
