Civil Service Reform.

The president is about to issue an
order removing from the civil service
rules some of the offices swept under
those rules by the blanket order issued
by Mr.. Cleveland a few days before
his term eXpired--an order that was
designed to rivet Democratic appointees
in office under the Mckinley admins
tration, regardless of their merits or
demerits.
The changes which are to be made
will draw a distinction between those
positions"-we quote from the Wash
ington correspondence Of w. L. Curtis
(which relate to the technique of the
service and those which involve finan-
cial responsibility. The technique posi-
tions will remain under the protection
of the civil service law as they are
now The places which include among
their duties the handling of public
moneys are to be taken out. and the
heads OF large offices are to have some.
thing to say about subordinates upon
whose honesty they must depend. The
proposed order confers upon postmast"
ers a certain degree of latitude in the
selection of men who fill places which
involve financial responsibility. The
number of exceptions in the postohice
service will not be many. Deputy col
lectors who fill positions of similar re-
sponsibility are also TO be exempted.
These are the principal changes. 1t is
proposed that heads of bureaus affected
by the changes shall have the power
to nominate officers. and the civil SER
vice commissioners shall prepare an
examination to determine their quail
fications. The local examining boards
of pension surgeons form another class
to be exempted from civil service pro-
lection"

AN OLD STORY OVER AGAIN.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There will be the same earnest and hon
est protests against the acquisition of the
Spanish Pacific islands which confronted
jefferson when he purchased Louisiana,
and which confronted every adminstra-
ton as we acquired Florida, Texas, part
Of Mexico and Alaska. But at every
stage of territorial expansion public ne
cessitics dictated the advancement OF the
dominion of the republic, and the result
has been in every instance the complete
Vindication of the policy. When We am
neXed Louisiana Its people Were alien to
our laws, to our language and to our free
institutions. When we annexed Texas Il
was opposed because it had long been the
refuge of the criminals Of the world.
When we annexed Mexican territory the
semi-barharian ruled where the beautiful
city of San Francisco now tcstities to the
progress of our people and the Mexican
"greaser," idle and vicious, was the type
of the aver age population. When we au-
neXcd Alaska we bought only the bar
barian and his unknown mountain haunts.
Look at these acquisitions today. The
Louisiana purchase is now represented in
the Union by a galaxy of sovereign states
Texas is the Empire state of the south
and will soon rival the Empire state Of
the north in population and substantial
have become an empire within themselves
to shed their Iustre upon the enlightened
progress of the republic, and Alaska has
developed boundless wealth and will soon
be one of the jewels in our civilization.
We are today better prepared to deal
with the grave problems presented to us
by the Spanish islands in the Pacific than
we were to deal with the grave problems
presented by the acquisition of Louisiana
and the Mexican territory. The scope of
Our national duties has been suddenly and
Unexpectedly enlarged, and we must aC-
copt it. A destiny he IS been given us that
was not shaped in field or cabinet, and 1t
is irrevoCabe. Duties and purpos IS
which were undreamed Of when the Span
ish war began, and which must largely in
crease our field of usefulness and pros
perity, have been put upun us by the re.
sistless logic of events, and it means An
glo-SaXon rule of the civilization of the
world.

partment has to accept as his cashier

person certified to him by the civil ser
vice commission. This person may be
honest or he may not; the man finan-
cially responsible has no means of

called such condition of affairs civil
service reform. Mr.. Mckinley regards
it as gross unfairness. So long as
mental fitness is assured by a thorough
examination his belief is that the chief

ate's fidelity should have authority to

Senator Quay was made the object OF
persistent and malignant personal at
tack during the recent campaign. 1t was
iterated and reiterated by the Democratic
and antl-QUay Republican newspapers
that the triumph OF the Republican party
at the polls would be a triumph for Sem
ator Quay All the ancient tales that
have done service in other years were
dug up and set going again with some
new ones. The result of the campaign
of slander was the election If the Repub-

100000 and the deliberate declaration by
the voters that they take no stock in
these nursery tales. AS a further result
Senator Quay will be renominated by
the Republicans and reelected on the first
ballot. He won the victory and is en-
titled to It's fruits.

Joke ON the OmciaI.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
There is a good story told on a prom
inent official of Allegheny. He denies
ii, but its truth is vouched for by an
other well-known official. Some days
ago, the story goes. the former official
happened to be going into his residence
on one of the prominent thoroughfares
when he saw a man hurrying across
the street with several pieces of mems
wearing apparel on his arm. The man
was walking in the direction of a
wagon nearby that belonged to a clean
ing and dyeing establishment. 1t struck
the official hat he would have one of
his spring suits cleaned and he hailed
the man, thinking he was in charge of
the wagon. However. the fellow proved
to be a thief and had just robbed a
hall rack in a n~eighboring boarding
house.
When the official cried out to him:
Say, mister, l have a suit / wish you
would have cleaned" the thief o in
the situation and saw that he a beer
taken for the driver of the wagon. He
coolly went over and got the officials
suit. The thief was well put of sight
before the real driver of the wagon re-
turned and the truth became known

WORKED 4 CLEVER GAME
Detective Murphy Arrested Two
Supposed Crooks.
ONE OF THEM RESISTED
Secured Pictures Under the Promise of
Enlarging Them-Received Money
in Advance for the Work
to Be Done.

City Detective Jerry Murphy arrested
a couple of swindlers yesterday who are
said to have worked a petty game so
successfully as to make of il quite a
lucrative business. The swindle came
90 the attention of the authorities
through a Mrs. Eckley. who lives at l
West Pearl street. She called at police
headquarters yesterday and informed
the officers that some time z two
men giving the names of e. l.. Webster
and w. c. Montgomery called at her
house and represented themselves TO
be agents of THE Elite Portrait" COM
pany. and wanted to enlarge some pic
lures for her. She finally came to terms
with them and "a them two pictures
20 enlarge. paying 80 cents in advance
O each and agreeing To pay the bal
ance of the amount agreed upon when
the enlarged pictures were delivered.
Mrs. Eckley said she waited several
weeks for the pictures but the agent
never returned. A day or so ago she
met them on the street and asked when
her portraits would be delivered, and
they Informed her she would have to go
TO the Elite company for them. She
called at the Elite Photograph gallery,
the only picture firm by that name in
the city. and was informed they had
no such agents.
Mrs. Eckley then called I'm the police.
Detective Murphy took the matter in
charge and started on a hunt for Web
ster and Montgomery. He met them on
Broadway and placed them under ar
rest. Montgomery declined to submit
and had TO be taken by force. They
were booke at the city Jail for obtain
ing money under false pretenses and
were subsequently taken To the county
Jail and locked up. They deny they
were engaged in any swindling scheme
and stated that the firm they repre-
sented is located somewhere In Utah.
After the arrest IL was said a number
OF cases were learned of in which peo-
pie were victimized in the same way,
and the police are of the opinion quite
an extensive business was carried on.
This is the second lime the same scheme
has been worked in Butte. Some time
x parties operated the same way and
secured possession of a number of pho
tographs which were treasured as being
the only existing pictures of dead rel
atives. The pictures were never re-
turned and subsequently other agents
came along and offered to recover the
pictures II properly paid and I'm some
instances secured as high as $25 for the
return of a photograph. The police
think this was the scheme the present
operators intended To work had they not
been arrested before they had an OPP
portunity. Webster is an old man over
SO years of age and Montgomery is a
young. smooth appearing individual.
