LETTER CARRIERS SERVICE

Washington, Jan. 19.-The debate over
the letter carriers service continued at
some length, Mr.. Hoar strongly appealing
for an additional appropriation to prevent
reductions in deliveries. Mr.. Allison, as
chairman of the appropriations committee
expressed the opinion that there was a de-
feet in the administration of the free de-
livery system and the appropriation
either was not equitably divided between
cities, or the postmaster generals esti-
mates to congress We're too small.

Divine Healer August Schrader to-
day met his wife at the Rock Island de-
pot. She arrived on the noon train

looking young woman 26 years of age.
1t was his bride of four months She
was dressed in neat tailoTmade dress
of novelty cloth, wore a pretty jacket
and a tall hat with plumes in it. After

el," said Schrader, "and she is sleeping.
We will be glad to see people after 4
O'Clock"
Shrader did not go to Gov. Leedy's

Story.

Leavenworth, jan 19.-Clyde Mattox
is a free man.
Mrs. S. w. Hatch. mother of Mattox,
arrived at Lansing yesterday afternoon
with the pardon from the president,
and as soon as verified by Warden
Lands. Mattox was sent for, and both
mother and son met for the first time in
four months. The meeting was affect
ing in the extreme.
q am the happiest woman in the
world" " said Mrs. Hatch to a cores
pondent, as she sat in the parlor at the
National hotel last night Il never had
a moments doubt of my boys inno-
ce1lce. no matter what the press in
southwest Kansas has published about
him. I had pledged to devote my
means and life to secure his freedom
from the moment of his arrest, and
that I have succeeded is due to the
fact that justice will triumph in the
end. Ny son has been prosecuted. 1t
was a conspiracy that sent him almost
to the brink of the gallows, and this
was so strongly presented to the presi-
dent. the attorney general and others
who interested themselves in my boys
pardon that the highest executive pow
er in the land was Influenced to grant
the pardon. L am now willing to begin
life over again
1T is just four months ago" said

CIVIL SERVICE TINKERS.
Commission Clerk Bailey Recon-.
mends q Reclassificat1on.


Washington, Jan. 19.-When the in
vestigation of the civil service by the
senate committee was resumed today,
Chief Clerk E. D. Bailey of the chief
examiners office of the civil service
commission advised a, general recIassi-
fication of government offices. The
present grouping he described as acci-
dental based on salaries, while he be-
Heved it should be based on the kind of
work done, which would be of great ad-
vantage in preparing examinations for
applicants.
Asked as to the extension of the civil
service made by the order of May g.
1896, he said it brought in $4,000 addi-
tiOnal positions.
The commission on May 6 was not
prepared to meet the sweeping extern
siOns and no eligible lists had been pre-
pared prior to that date for those places
and then, too, there had been many
temporary appointments caused by
lack of eligibles.

doctrine that to the victors belong the

doctrine that to the victors belong the
spoiIs?
1t is we'll for the people of this coun-
try to understand here and now that
it is no common danger which con-
fronts it. The bill that has been in
and hearty approval of Republicans,
aims, not at modification of the civil
service law, because no modification is
required save that which Mr.. McKin-
ley can accomplish without legislation,
but at its total annihilation. The pur-
pose is to restore the old tenure of Of
flee that depends upon political favor;
to abolish the test of fitness; to relieve
the employe of the government from
every obligation that rests upon him,
save that of political support for the
man to whose influence he owes his
place; to crowd the departments once
more with bummers and heelers; to
make each national election a struggle
for possession of a salary roll so tre-
mendous that there will be no haIting
possession of the prize; to repeat the
worst episodes Of our history and to
carry us so far down the decline that
only by another such awakening as
that Of the assassination of Garfield, or
by one of those supreme efforts which
nations cannot often make and live,
we can again emerge into the clear
and wholesome light of day.
1t is for this that the Republican
party has laid aside its duty, has for
gotten or nulIified it's pledges to the
people and has united in a grand at
tack. 1t is to compass the death of
reform, and to carry the nation to a
deeper depth than it has ever reached,
that it has rallied it's scattered forces
We tell the people that their institu-
tions were not in such danger during
the last presidential campaign as men
aces them today. The war on civil
service reform is hostile not merely to
decent and honest government, but to
the perpetuity Of the republic. 1t is
nothing better than a band Of robbers
who are striving to get once more upon
the throat of the nation the grip which
they have been forced to loosen. Gray
er issues than that of protection and
free trade. graver than that of sound
money or a deprecated currency con-
front us. Better can any people afford
a CONFUSION of its business interests,
better a financial catastrophe than the
establishment Of the rule of rapine in
politics and the substitution of the
lust Of office for patriotism. 1t is the
very life of the nation that is attack
ed, and it is time for the American
people to be on their guard.

ring industries, and has tempted sur
plus capital into them. For the time
being, therefore, the beet sugar busi-
ness, being a very small toad in the
puddle, drops out of sight. We may
expect 1t to be renewed, however at
the next opportunity. This experiment
and its fiasco will be forgotten or po.
htely ignored, and the representatives
Of the farmers will be requested, and
will probably agree, that these farmers
themselves should be taxed to build
up an industry of which all that can
be said with certainty is that, if it is
self-supporting and can be planted on
its own base, without external sup
port, it will succeed without state aid;
and that, if 1t cannot it has no busi-
ness to exist at all. The Republican
theory of government is beautifully il
lustrated by the experience of Mime
sofa thus far with the beet sugar in
dustry. The pity Of it Is that so many
people, under the blind leading of party
allegiance, do not see how dishonest
and immoral the whole shameless per-
formance has been.

THUNDERER IS PEssIMIsTIC.
the Silver Fight VIII Have
to Be Gone Through Again.

LONDON. Jan. 1O.-The Times, COM
menting editOrially this morning on dis
patches from it's New York correspon-
dent dealing with growth of Organism
among the Democrats and the disinte-
grafton of the Republicans and predict
ing a silver majority in the next house
of representatives. attributes the reac-
tion to Mr.. Clevelands attitude and
ambiguous language on the currency
question.
The Times says: "It cannot be that
the forces that defeated Organism in
1896 are wholly shattered and annulled
by a series of tactical efforts, but an
immense advantage has undoubtedly
been given to the anarchical and pre-
datory tendencies which have recent
ly become so formidable in American
society by the disorganiZation of the
Republican party and the incapacity
of sound money men to retain any con-
trolling authority among the Demo-
Gratis.
Clearly there will be a desperate
fight few months hence, to be renew
ed at the presidential contest of 1900,
ever the same issues which were sup
posed to be settled by the election OF
Mr.. Mckinley"

AN IMPORTANT DIFFER ENCE.

An evening contemporary as yet in
blissful ignorance of how much it does
not know. finds defense Of the paternal
policies of it's party in the admission
by the G o b e that the wage rate is
higher in this than in any European
country. and in the advice given by
of things wanted should be patronized
in preference to the maker in another
locality. These are the justiications of
protection by it's opponents, it imag-
ires. and thereupon it chuckles glee-
fully. The high wage rate is due to
Republican policy, and the same be-
