Recommendations OFFICE.

=
The course of procedure in the Gov
eminent Printing Office at Washington
is good illustrationia'of the way Civil
Service was abused auiover the country
in order to provide lifelong places for
Mr. Cleveland's heachmen. Under
President Harrisoms m Administration
Public Printer Palasers had been very
favorable to the appointment of veterans
and their widows and orphans. Nearly
the whole force of the immense estab-
lishment was made up of these classes,
and comfortable support was given
thousands to whom the country was IN
debted for courageous, loyal service
| during the war.
This condition of things did not suit
Mr. Cleveland and his man Benedict,
! whom he appointed Public Printer.
| Within week after Benedict's installa-
tion-May 10, 1S94-he discharged
700 employees, under the pretext that
the force was much larger than the pub
lie service required. The universally
of the inclusion Of Union veterans,
their widows and orphans in this list
left no doubt as to Mr.. Benedicts
animus. There was startling number
Of the oldest and most competent en-
ployes in it. Their places, with the ac-
companying good wages, were wanted
for others. Benedict followed this up
with five or six other wholesale dis
charges, each of from 200 to 800 at a
time. Then he began filling up the
office again with men of his own politi-
cal kind. One rule which he made,
directly leveled at the Union veteran
and his widow, was that no person
should be appointed who was 45 years old
or over. After he had gotten the office
filled up to suit him the establishment
was put under Civil Service, so as to
give his pets life tenure of their
places. ~,
This is fair specimen of the way
things were done all over the country.
Everywhere men who had served their
country faithfully in her hour of need,
and have since been faithful, competent
clerks and employees, who had spent
years in perfecting themselves in a
knowledge of their duties and the re-
quirements of public service, were
turned out when they had reached the
period of life when they were too old to
take up new professions, their places
were given TO young political heelers,
and then the whole business was put un-
der Civil Service, to protect them in
their ill-gained good fortune.
1t was policy of monstrous injustice
President Mckinley and the men who
were put into power with him at the
last election cannot afford to allow it to
prevail. We do not believe that they
for moment wish to have it continue.
We look for energetic action to right
this gross prostitution Of Civil Service

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY AND CUBA.

President Mckinley differs from
Cleveland in believing that party
platform is a solemn promise and con-
tract with the people, as to the course
of action i'll case the party is successful.
This is what the Republican platform
said about Cuba:
From the hour of achieving their own in
dependence the people of the United States
have regarded with sympathy the struggles
of othcr American peoples to free themselves
from European domination. We watch with
deep and abiding interest the heroic battle
of the Cuban patriots against cruelty and
oppression, and our best hopes goout for the
full success of their determined contest for
liberty
The Government of Spain having lost con-
troll of Cuba, and being unable to protect the
property OF lives of resident American cIti-
zens or to comply with its treaty obligations.
we believe that the Government of the United
States should actively use its influence and
good offices to restore peace and give independ-
ence to the island.

Greece got her freedom and existence

October, 1927, the war for Grecian in

years, with varying fortunes, in spite Of
the efforts of the Powers to suppress it,
for fear that the flames Of the French
Revolution might be rekindled. The
Turks were committing horrible atroci-
ties upon the Christians. The English,
French and Russian fleets were cruising
about as they now are, attempting to re-
press the Turks on the one hand and
the Greeks on the other. As the season
grew late, the Admirals decided to go
into the Bay of Navarino for the Win
ter. The Turkish feet, installing their
intention, fired on them, and then allied
fleets wiped out that Of the Turks.

SPEAK ER REED
Vow seems To lie Running the Sen.
utc, Too,

Now seems to lie Running the Sen.
utc, Too.
New York, June i.--under date OF June
3, the Herald says.
Speaker Reed has served notice on the
republican leaders in the senate that the
sugar schedule reported by the finance
committee can never be agreed to IN the
house OF representatives This notice has
convinced it's advocates that 1t will have
TO be abandoned Before this they had
doubted their ability 10 get II through
the senate, but were inclined to attempt 1t.
Speaker Reeds notice has probably given
them no alternative but the accordance OF
the house schedule They are now trying
to save one OF tho Objectionable features OF
the finance committee ychedulr.
While they are willing TO surrender the
compound duties on hieh grades OF raw
sugars and substitute specific rates, they
still cling to the ad valorem rates On low
grade sugars. and hope TO be ablo to pre-
serve this feature which. Its opponents as
scrt. is particularly advantageous to tho
sugar trust The schedule they arc row
advocating is the one retaining tile al
vanrem duties on all sugar testing below
81 degrees by the polariscope and impos-
ing specific duties on all above that test.
II is also proposed to calculate the duties
on the basis of tho valuation OF the sugars
at the por, Of entry, instead OF the country
of their origin
