CIVIL SERVICE SC0RCHED.
Congressman Hepburn Says the Public has
Been Misled by High Sounding
Titles.

Washington. Jan. s.-Thc civil scrv
ice debate was continued in the house
today until o'clock The remainder o.
the session, under special order, was dc
voted to eulogizing the memory of tho
ate Representative Wright, of Massa
| chusettS.
| On the civil service question, Con-
gresham Corliss, representative from
Michigan, was the first speaker today.
He favored radical notifications of the
law. He thought that constitutionally
clothed with the power for appointing
their subordinates. 70 that extent he
thought, if tested, the law would be un-
constitutional lie believed that the
right of removal should be restored and
the tenure of Office limited. Congress-
man Hepburn, Republican,, of Iowa,
spoke an hour against what he termed
the popular impression of the sO-called
merit system. The public, he argued,
had been utterly misled by the high
sounding titles used in referring to it.
In some things the old system at its
worst, was superior to the new. MY
colleagues in this house, said he,
"kn0w the qualifications of their con-
Stitucnts and in the selection of cand-
dates for office have everything at stake.
| believe there is greater possibility in
action, wisdom in selection and bcnct-
cent result under the old system than in
this dark fed subtcrranean method into
which we have fallen in this latter
time"
The appointing power and the power
of removal should be lodged in the same
hands and should be unlimited. Amid
a burst of applause from the galleries
and floor he insisted that political work
ers were entitled to and should be ac-
corded recognition. If there were to be
no reward for workers. the workers in
the future would be more and more loyal
to rich contributors instead of their
party and their country. If the present
system was continued, the influence of
rich men in politics would grow steadily.
Hepburn said he knew his
frank expressions would earn criticism
for him, and it would probably be said
that he placed himself on low political
plane, but these were his convictions
and he would utter them. Congressman
Clark, Republican, of New Hampshire),
closed the debate for today with some
in favor of modifying the law
He said ''any old thing" was better than
the present law Gaughter.)

herders camp, and on Thursday morn
ing, while packing the camp effects pre-
paratory to moving, grasped the rifle by
the muzzle and pulled it toward him.

HANNA is HOPEFUL
Indications Now Are That the Bolt
ing Combine in Ohio Has
Lost It's Grip.
REPUBLICANS IN EARNEST
Demand That Their Representatives Obey
Their Instructions to Vote for Mr..
Hanna-Kurtz Issues a
Manifesto.

Columbus, o., Jan. S.-Thcre are re
liable reports today indicating tina
Hanna has the necessary 70 votes.
The opposition depended upon the fol
lowing ten Republicans voting with the
IS Democratic members OF the legisla
ture: Representatives Mason and Bran
ley, Of Cuyahoga; Jones, Of Stark; Grif
of Fulton; Redkey, of Highlands Rutan,
Of Carroll; Manuel, of Montgomery: Sen
ator Burke, of Cleveland.
This would make the joint ballot
stand rs to 70 against Hanna.
AT a public meeting held in Dayton
last night, at which resolutions were
adopted condemning Governor Bushnell
and the boiling Republican members
and demanding that Charles l.. Kurtz
resign as the Ohio member of the ma
tional Republican committee, Repre-
sentative Manuel made speech pedg-
ing himself unequiyocally for Hanna.
Representatives Griffith, of Union,
and Jones, of Stark, are reported to
have done the same thing ut their
homes. And there are like reports from
Rutan, of Carroll, and Redkey of High
land
There are apparently ~ members
pledged to Hanna publicity, but that is
one short and the opposition concede no
loss except Manuel.
The anti-Hanna men admit that. after
securing control of both branches of the
adjourning from Wednesday to Monday
and having the members 60 home till
Inauguration day. The Republican
members, cooperating with the Demo-
Gratis against Hanna. were thus con-
fronted with Indignation meetings at
their homes which are likely to turn the
tide in favor of Hanna.
The opposition made persistent efforts
last night for Senator Foraker to come
here, but the senator left Cincinnati for
Washington without stopping at Colum-
bus. All efforts to get either Foraker
or John R. Mclean here have failed and
they are credited with being the two
great factors in the combine"
Hanna's Election Claimed.
Columbus, Jan. 8. - Representative
Griffith announced to meeting of his
constituents last night and again to-
uuy CilhU Hc uiu HOG WdnL tU NOle lOT
Senator Hanna, but, If it was their wish,
he would do SO. There is no lack of
effort in Union county now on the part
of the people to express their wishes to
their representatives.
The Hanna list stood 70 to II against
the senator yesterday, but, with the
changes of Manuel and Griffith, the
Hanna men claim that they have the
necessary 73 votes to 72 for the oppos
tion.
Kurtz Claims Hanna's Defeat.
Columbus, o.. Jan. s.-Charles l..
Knrtz, leader of the opposition to Han
ma, today handed the following to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press:
''The ncOrrectness of the claims by
Hanna were proved by the test votes in
the matter of the house organization.
He claimed the organization mp to the
time the test vote was taken and lost I
The same claims are being made again
on the senatorship and the result will
be the same. Hanna will not be elected
senator.

Mr.. Herbert pulled of his coat and
helped the man to unload his horse. He
then gave him some money and left

friends wondered at his coming into

posed. He explained the cause, and
when one remarked that he had dis
paraged himself by SO dirty an employ
