A branch of Mr.. Hanna's committee.

the Glover Building in this town; and the
understanding is that all applications for
office in the new administration are to be
made at that place, probably at definitely
stated office hours. This. too, is very bus-
nesslike In the early months OF other admin

other apparently responsible heads of
things, and the Senators and Representa-
tives and other officebroliers Of more or

TO do something obliging in many cases if
they only knew how. BItthe responsibility,
either for the success or failure of the APP
plicanus. has been iii vided, and 50, gradually,
it has vanished utterly.
The new Hanna scheme, having the re-
quiste authority behind it. may head off
all the officcSeekers. keep them away from
the President and his Cabinet officers, turn
them down. and send them home-all
promises broken and everything forgotten.
If Mr.. Hanna himself cannot be on hand 10

continue to be heard from. With them

been chartered in New Jersey. This new

The $4,000, 900 cornStalk trust is en-
titled to notice for other reasons. Although
its capital is placed at a modest figure.
compared with firSt-class affairs. still it
is an organization of respectable proper
tions. and fully alive to the ethics as well
as the responsibilities of the situation. To
fully illustrate this consciousness. there is
a clause in its charter providing that no
stakeholder shall have the right to examine
the books OF the concern without first
securing permission from the board Of
directors. Itis evident that, in this respect,
the cornstalk trust is an improvements on all
its congeners; butts advancedposition does
not yet represent all that should be at

Kilkenny Foreshadowincs

neTvuUsly prostrating suspicion begins
10 dawn upon as that Senator Chandler is
engaged in the production of a situation,
possibly ofpcrennial continuity, upon which
the Posterior Sunday y-schooI historian might
build a story Of the good william and the
wicked one" One of these characters
would be the coming President, but which
one it is better to leave to the, at present,
prenatal historian.
The occasion for these observations lies
I'm the amendment which Mr. Chandler has
offered to the suniry civil Till, authoriz-
ing the President TO examine and review
all the various rules which have Deen pro-
mmlgated under the civil service law since
.bat was passed, and to revise, modify
T enlarge such rules in accordance with
he conditions of good administration and
.he true purpose and effect of this act"
1t is the true purpose and effect of this
great act of the New Hampshire Senator
that particularly interests us.
1t goes without aging that, if the pr0po-
sition were to be enacted into law, it
would result in overturning everything that
has been done in the direction Of civil ser
vice reform. Not that Nj Mckinley would
indorse or act upon il Of his own choice,
because he is a good deal of a civil ser
vice reformcr at heart; and it would be
IT.
Comributory constituency would not. if
they could help il, be likely to allow him
the fun advantage Of such a longed-rur
Chance. But, on the other horn Of the di-
lemma there would hang on a string enough
savage and hungry officeseckers to con-
stitute, with their relatives and frfen,is.
an ample balance of voting power in the
next Presidential election. That factor
might indeed work successfully TO the
destruction Of the existing system, and
carry US back to the cannibal political
conditions Of a JacksoniZed civil service
Nohody knows better than Senator Chand-

Chandler in the championship attitude
toward the great party cohort which de-
mands that patriots shall be rewarded,
and it may add much, if not most, of
that force to the ranks Of the Chandler

cabaI of political dynamiters in question

the Fifty-fourth Congress, and the con-
dition OF the appropriation bills will com
pei the Senate to make up for the time
tration treaty, which now appears TO have

some debate. TIE President has so far

diplomatic, tie military academy and the
pension bills. The Army bill! is in con

tric light companies

all of which win be reported in TWO or

it over until next Monday, or to some day
during the week, when a special session
can be called to consider il. II this is
done, Mr.. Davis chances for confirmation
viii be very materially lesSened. Any lie
lay whatever will hurt his cause.
Mr.. Davis friends insist that he has
gained rather than lost strength since the
attack OF Mr. Norris upon his political
and personal character. on the other
hand. the opposition claims that he has
lost friends since the Norris episode.
The names Of some of the Senators wh1
had expressed their intention Of voting
for him are now mentioned as seriously
opposed to confirmation. one OF these is

The New York Sun editorially calls at
tention to the fact that, in the old days
of sturdy, fighting Americanism, this coun-

American communities fighting against
Spain for their independence, and did
not thereby incur war. The Sun is
aware that this was not a commercial

of an uncomfortable change OF political
control since then.
