allied the office broker and attacked, vii
flied and illuminated the conscientious
man. Words, he declared, could do no
justice to the infamy of this prolific
evil which had debauched the civil SER
vice. 1t seemed incredible to him that
men could dare advocate a return of
this saturnalia. The talk of civil pen
sion, he said, was bugaboo designed to
brighten the defenders of the merit sys-
TEN. A proposition for a civil pension
could not command half a dozen votes
in either house or secure the executive
approval.
Speaking to the Republican side of the
house, he told his colleagues that the
merit system was a Republican child.
While Gen. II. Pendleton was its author
in inception, it was a Republican meas
ure. Every Republican senator and all
except seven Republican members Of
the house voted for it. 1t has been en-
dorsed by state and national conven-
tions. Cities and states We're adopting
it. The American people were behind it,
Mr.. johnson attributed the present
"discordant and disgraceful scene" now
being enacted in Ohio, with its visions
of senatorship going glimmerng" to the
scramble for spoils, state and national,
and said that the surest way to put
Bryan and his black banner in the
White House in 1900 would be for the
Republican party to be recreant to its
trust and slap In the face those who be-
lieved in honestly conducted service.
Without desiring in any way to reflect
upon the present occupant of the White
House, Mr.. Johnson said he was con-
WINGED that there could be no genuine
civil service reform until by constitu-
tional amendment the president was
made ineligible for reelection. AS long
as he was eligible for reelection he must
necessarily be more or less under the
domination of machine politics. After
expressing his confidence in President
Mckinley, Mr.. johnson concluded with
an eloquent appeal to him to stand by
the principle upon perpetuity of which
the permanence of our institutions de-
pended.
Mr.. Johnson was given an enthusiastic
demonstration of approval when he con-
cluded.
Lloyd of Missouri, Democrat, followed
in opposition to the law which, he ar
gued, was an attempt to establish an

an office-holding class.

LONG OVERDUE
If the Pelican Is Safe Her Crew Is
Starving

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-There is
much speculation among local shipping
men as to the fate of the steamship
Pelican. She is now out eighty-five
days from Port Townsend for Taqu,
Japan, and nothing has been heard of
her since she passed through the straits
outward bound. Shipping men gener-
ally are of the opinion that the vessel
has broken her propeller shaft and that
she is sure to be picked up by some
other steamer and towed to some port.
1t is the fate of her crew that is worry
ing the majority of shippers She car
ried forty-fve officers and men and
when she sailed from Port Townsend
she was provisioned for a forty day
voyage. Assuming that an accident
happened to her when she was twenty
days out, there would then have re-
manned sufficient provisions for but
twenty days. Sixty-flve days have
elapsed since then.
Even assuming that the crew were
put on one-third rations from the day
of the mishap still the available supply
of provisions would have been exhausted
by New Years day.
