The report touches upon Zertucha's serv.

the House who favor modification Of
this law have served upon the other
republican members of the house dur
ing the debate, which is not yet oyer.
There has been much plain talk upon
the subject, and there will be more. A
sample is the following, from the
speech of Representative Hepburn, of
Iowa: "In some things the old system.
at its worst, was superior to the new.
My colleagues in this House know the
qualifications of their constituents, and
in the selection of candidates for office
have everything at stake. | believe
that there is greater probability of pro-
bity in action, wisdom in selection,
and beneficence in results in the old
system that in this darkened. subter-
ranean, irresponsible method we have
fallen into in this later time." Repre-
sentative Clark, of n. H., said that he
favored modification of the law and
was willing to leave it to the wisdom
of the Civil Service Committee as to
how far, "but that any old thing" was
better than the present law. That
Committee is now considering the bill
introduced last week, which confines
the operation of the civil service law TO
positions paying from 5000 to $500
year, inclusive, and to localities where
the employees exceed 25 in mum ber.

Germany, the country which made a
bluff when the Dingley tariff bill was

The clause of the tariff that brought
Germany's pride down to asking for
reciprocity is that which imposes ad-
ditional duty upon sugar brought from
countries that pay an export bounty on
sugar. When the German ambassador

MApolIon.s VALUE OF VICTORY.

Napoleon knew we'll the value of
a victory. After Austerlitz the
world seemed his. Fame invited,
fortune favored, everything stimu-
lated his aspiring ambition. With
growing power he gathered the
fruits of his victory. And SO has it
ever been. Success succeeds. A
notable illustration of this truth is
furnished by the great victories
won at the Worlds Fair in 'o3 and
the California Midwinter Fair in
"a by DR.. Prices Cream Baking

suit, The people have promptly
ratified the official verdicts that de-
clared that DR.. Prices, for leaven-
ing power, keeping qualities, puri-
ty and general excellence the
foremost baking powder in all
the world. Quite as quickly as
the great Emperor do they know
the value of a victory that means
world wide supremacy.
