SATURDAY EVENING. JsN. %, lss s

So CONCLUSIVE is the proof OF the
utter and useless humbuggery of the
civil service law, as it is executed, that
it is hardly necessary to say anything
more on that subject: but case has
recently happened that is too con
spicuous to escape notice. There is no
question relating to the customs ser
vice that doesn't at some time or other
come up in the customs house at Nor
folk. Until recently there was a
young man there who had been
brought up from a child in that
house it, and who is thoroughly
familiar with each and all of its sew
eral departments, and whose qualiil-
cations for an all-around customs OH
Ger are conceded by all who have bus!-
ness with the customs house. There
are men in the customs houses OF other
ports who are probably equally as IA
milisr with the duties of their respective
departments in those houses as he Is,
bat, according to experts, none Is as
competent and efficientiu the discharge
of the duties of eal the different depart
ments of customs house as he is. His
character also is good and his habits
above reproach. Yet, with all this,
having been removed for political
reasons, in recent competitive exami-
nation, under the civil service law, for
reinstatement he%was rejected because
of his inability to answer the schoel
boy questions propouuded to him. He
needn't be ashamed, however, for Mr.
Clrlisle, when Secretary of the Treas
ury, confeases that he would be unable
to obtain a c,erkship in the department
If he had to stand the prescribed ex-
animation.

THE BoLTERs said 10 1896 if the dem
ooratic ticket should be defeated the
silver question would be definitely SET
tied for all time. That they knew
nothing about what they were talking is
proved by the fact that q resolution to
redeem the bonds of the government
with silver dollars passed the U. S.
Senate last night by majority of if
teen, among whom were several repub-
licans, and voted down an amendment
that they should not bo redeemed in
deprecated currency. A faint idea
may now possibly enter the heads OF
the boilers that it would have been bet

serted their party, but allowed the sill

to have been made year ago.

ONE OF the chief reasons for the OF
