THOSE persons who had hoped that

upon the adjournment of Congress
President Mckinley would take some
action looking to a relaxation of the
civil service regulations and the con-
sequent rewarding of those members
of his party who wished to hold office
have given up in disgust. Last Thurs
day the President made this important
amendment to civil service rule No. 2:
No removal shall be made from any
position subject to competitive exami-
nation except for just cause and upon
written charges filed with the head of
the department or other appointing off,
Ger. and of which the accused shall have
full notice and an opportunity to make
defense.
President Cleveland himself could
do no more than this,and it may as well
be understood now that Mr.. Mckinley
meant what he said IN his inaugural
address on the subject of the civil SER
vice. The amendment quoted above
is plain notice that removals are not
to be made for political reasons, and
if removals are not made Of course no
appointments can be made. The Pres
ident also amended rule 3 so as to in
clude the employees of all custom
houses in the classified service, thus
increasing still further the number of
officials under the protection of the
law.

THERE were fourteen West Virgin

the marble heart and appointed an
Ohio man.

THE importers of earthenware met
in New York few days ago and
passed a resolution to advance the
price of crockery in accordance with
the opportunity afforded by the Ding
ley tariff. According TO the Republi-
can theory this increase in price will
be a great benefit to us.

"After they have pensioned all the
old soldiers that heard of the late war,
it would be good plan to give pensions
to the mules. These animals rendered
invaluable aid, and rich government
like ours ought to make liberal provision
for them. Pension the mules!"-Bsrke-
ley Democrat.
No one in Martinsburg knows of a
likelier specimen than the mover of the
motion. True, he is not veteran nor
son of veteran, but he thinks the war
is not ended, therefore he is thoroughly
eligible. We are very sure Snyder, of
the Shepherdstown REGISTER, will GER
tify as to his character and standing,
under all known conditions and circum-
stances, fodder or no fodder. Pension
the mule !-AfartmJ6Arg Herald
IFmules are to get pensions thepub-
Usher of the Democrat will come in on
the first round. And we hope he'll
get good, fat one-one sufficient to
enable him to retire from the profess
sion he disgraces.

IT is really enough to break the
hearts of the boys who fought the last
campaign and won the fight to gaze on
the civil-seryice bars that stand be-
tween them and the fruits Of their VIC
tory. Last week Judge Jackson made
permanent an injunction preventing
Marshal Thompson from removing the
Democrats who as Office deputies are
protected by the civil service. Right
on top of this he landed another knock
out blow in the shape of an order pre-
venting the Republican appointees
from being even sworn in. Charlie
Elliott, W. H. Ramp and c. NJ. Shrews-
bury are not allowed to stand under
the plum tree, but from the other side
of the fence they see the Democrats
enjoying the fruit and living on the
sunny side Of easy street.
We have always been opposed to
civil service, but since we see how sick
it is making the Republicans We are
almost tempted to endorse it.

Prof. J. D. Sweeney, who for several
years has been principal of the State
Normal School at Concord, Mercer coun-
ty, has been one of the most successful
educators in the State And now
in the face Of these facts and conditions,
along comes Governor Atkinson's new
Republican Board of Regents and dis
misses Prof. Sweeney for no other cause
save that he is a Democrat ayre
NeWS
We think the NewS does the Board
of Regents an injustice. Prof. Sweeney
is a partisan of the rankest sort, and
devotes so much time and attention to
party affairs that his fame as politi-
clan excels his reputation as an educa-
tor. The board should not be blamed
for filing his place with a less active
partisan, and we think Prof. Sweeney
himself expected nothing else, The
regents made no change Of principal
at Shepherdstown, Fairmont, West
Liberty or Huntington, though all of
these places are filed, We believe, by
Democrats.

OWING to an error in the appropri-
alton bill, there will be no encamp-
ment of the State militia this year.
This will save the State eight or ten
thousand dollars, but it will deprive
the people of the spectacle of our gOr-
geously appareled colonies cavorting
around on horses they can't ride

THERE blood in the women of the
South. Major VIM. H. Smythe, a
heightened resident Of Atlanta, was
candidate for collector Of internal
revenue under this administration.
President Mckinley, however, appoint
ed Henry Rucker, negro, to the posi-
ton. The colored man had the en-
dorsement of some of the white leaders
of society, SO Mrs. Smythe has now
announced that she intends to rent her
swell residence on fashionable Peach
Tree street to the negro, thus giving
his friends an opportunity to have full
benefit Of his society.

BUSINESS FELL OFF.
But Firmnsss Characterized the Early
Trading on the Stock Exchange.
GENERAL RUN WAS LESS IMPORTANT
The Sudden !I sl'n Break In Jersy Central
Destroyed tho Good Feeling, ana
she Improvement was Generally
Lost-C Chicago GINS W as In Demand
and Scored tho Best Price Of Year.

MeW York, March 22.-Iherc was a
1aWlng or In business at the Stock Elk
ohanse To-day, the sales aggregating
only l6o.254 shares. Firmness character
lzea ohe early trading, the absence Of
mlliaVorable news from the Levant and
tne steady absorption Of the Vanderbilts
'pelng the main factors at work. In the
case OF New York Central is was again
stated that the banking syndicate was
making progress with Its scheme Of re-
1undlhg or The conlpany'S Indebtedness,
AND nthis the stock rose to 102. The
Improvement In the general run CT ac-
plve stocks was less important and
ranged from Il to l per cent. The sud
den break in Jersey Central destroyed
the good feeling, and the Improvement
was generally lost. New York Central
did not syunpathize and held strong
throughout. The decision by the United
States Supreme Court in the TRANSMITS
souri, Freight Association case, affirm
ing the consbitutionality OF the S11er-
man antitrust law, was another unray-
orable development, and in Tile after
noon the Changers were sold in mode
rate amounts OIL this action OF the court.
Burlington and Quincy, St Paul and
NoHthWese were especially weak i'll this
group. The decrease Of over SLIT 900 in
the February earnings OF the Northwest
accelerated the downward movement in
the stock.
In the industrials Rubber declined 40
1la per cent. on the talk OF increased
competition, while Chicago Gas was in
demand on rumors Of favorable develop
ments shortly. The last named rose to
8lA, the highest point Of the year
Sugar recovered to 114A on the decision
rendered by Judge Morris in the Wool
son Spice company, which lis in favor of
the Ilavemeyers. Just previous to the
CLOSE the market took on a. tirmed tone
the result Of u sudden rise In Western
Union to SAY. The furry was attri-
buted to coverings Of short contracts
Speculation closed firm IN tone. Net
Changes show losses of 14@1A per cent.
outside Of Sugar, Chicago Gas, New
York Central, Western Union and ON
aha, which gained M@1l4 per cent. In
the total sales Chicago Gas figured for
23.20O shares, Burlington and Quincy for
1920 Sugar for 1900. and New York
Central for 1G.20O
The bond market was firm. The sales
footed up s1,S40,00o.
