FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

Lieutenant Harry G. Cole writes to
his mother in Marietta, from which we
make an extract:
II don't think have anything to do
for at least five minutes now; but
there's no telling. for somebody is al
ways chasing the quartermaster or the
commissary and, as | have the misfor-
tune to hold the two jobs at once,
there is not much rest for the weary.
Everything is quiet here to-day, but
we can't tell whether that means it
will be the same tomorrow, for we are
rather expecting a row with the in
surgents. We were ordered out after
them last Saturday, but after chasing
around in the hot'sun half the day, we
were ordered back to our quarters here
in Foreign Santiago, Manila.
The savages don't like the way 1--we
come into the town here and take pos
session of everything without giving
them chance to rob and kill all the
Spaniards. You Will probably know
the outcome of the discussion long be-
fore you receive this, so it is needless
for me to dwell on the probabilities of
tight with them. I recently received
a letter that had been chasing me all
through Florida, and from there here
via San Francisco and Honolulu, so it
was full of news when it reached me.
Love to all. Adios, HARRY

WAR TAXES LIKELY To REMAIN.

Secretary of the Treasury Gage
gives but little hope that the war
taxes will soon become thing of
the past. AS he views the future
the expenses of the country must
be much greater than ever before.
The billion dollar Congress will
be outdone. Expenditures on the
navy, both in the construction of
new vessels and in the increased
cost of maintenance, and on the
army with its probably trebled
strength, will necessitate appro-
priations that will far supass the
maximum set by the Republican
House several years ago The
contemplated expansion of. terri
tory will add many millions to
the annual budget of expense.
The income from the "colonies"
will not for years, perhaps never,
reach the outlay caused by their
possession.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CONVEN.
TION.

The State convention of Christian
Endeavor held in Macon, October %
80, was long stride forward for the
cause Of Christian Endeavor in our
State. This convention, though not as
largely attended as had been hoped
was marked by a deep spirituality
which pervaded every session, and to
all who attended it was feast of good
things.
The music under the leadership of
Rev, S. p. Speigel and his we'll trained
choir was excellent.
Among the noted ones present was
Rev. w. f. McCauleIy, for several
years President Of the Ohio Etate
Union-an indefatigable worker. and
one well versed in Christian Endeavor
methods. DR.. Therkield and DR.. Will
hanson, of Atlanta, and Rev. Arthur
Smith, of Savannah, also delivered
soul-stirring addresses.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, Rev.
Arthur Smith, of Savannah; Vice Pres
idents, from each of the denominations
present.
Corresponding Secretary, j. T. Oil
plant, Macon; Treasurer, W. S. But
tolph, Marietta. The next convention
will be held next spring, the time and
place to be announced later.

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

! The CIVIL SEkNI he LAW.
1t has been many years since
this method of determining the
claims of those seeking to enter
certain branches of the public
service has been effective and it
is perhaps proper to now enquire
if it has fulfilled the predictions
made concerning it by its original
friends and advocates.
In theory nothing could be
fairer and better than to assign
offices to those who have, by COM
petitive examination in subjects
supposed to have connection
with the duties of those offices,
demonstrated their capabilities as
prospective public servants. But
in the practical application Of the
law, we fear that it is not always
merit that is the determining
factor i'll making the appoint
ments. We base this opinion
upon the fact that for a number
of years past, no appointments of
clerks in the departmental service
at Washington or elsewhere have
been made from Georgia from the
registers Of the civil service cnm-
mission, Notwithstanding the late
war necessitated the employment
of a vast number of additional
clerks who were directly appoint
ed, without undergoing an exami-
nation.
These We're, we presume, styled
"emergency appointments and
are supposed to be temporary in
their character. But after re-
naming upon the registers a GER
tain length of time (6 months we
believe) these names will be en-
titled to be certified for perma-
nent appointment Whenever va
cancies in the CLERICAL force occur.
We understand that all the va
cancles, save one, of last year
were thus filled. Except for the
technical positions, which are few
in number, it is probable that no
from Georgia will
be made from the civil service
registers, during the year 1898.
We regard the civil service law,
as it is administered, as a medium
through which the politicians can
accomplish their work and at the
same time escape the importuni-
ties of office-seekers and the odium
that would attach to those in
power for their failure to advance
the interests of those who would
hold office.
That feature Of the law which
allows a life tenure of office, we
regard as especially Objectionable
as it is un-American in. it's nature,
creating a privileged class, and
practically depriving the great
body Of citizens of an opportunity
to enjoy It's benefits.
Offices, it is true, were not made
to be distributed as reward for
political services or as a gratuity.
Their object is to benefit the peo-
pie as whole. But they are an
incident of government and as
such every citizen should have an
equal chance to obtain one, a
thing impossible under present
conditions.
Being an Improvement Tin
theory at least) upon the old sys-
tenn, we hope at no distant day
this law will be made to remedy
the defects of which we have
spoken.
