once Gov. Boies is still trying to be
on all sides of the financial question.
He was free silverite, with all that
the word implies, when the moon was
IN the proper quarter. Since the disas-
troUs experience Of 1896 he has come
out In letter in which he expressed
the eminently sane opinion that there
was no particular divinity about the
ratio of Is to l. The subject appears
to have an irresistible fascination for
him; for, unable to let we'll enough
alone, he delivered yesterday an adj
dress On the financial question that has
no more head or tail than an orange.
as near as we can make out, from
the deliverances of this muddled finan-
cier of the Iowa prairies, he is in favor
principally Of having the government
store bullion and issue warehouse re-
ceipts against it as the source Of a
nations currency. He would maintain
all forSHs Of money now outstanding,
simply because they are in existence
and Horace likes to avoid trouble. He
Would have the government remain &
bank of issue, fixing the purely arbi-
trary limit of % per cent as a safe re-
serve against it's note issues. Then
he would accept and store both metals
i'll unlimited quantities, issuing paper
receipts against them at the price on
the day of delivery, redeemable at the
option Of the government in either
metal at the original valuation. This is
the great Iowa scheme of finance.
We are sorry that Mr.. Boies takes so
much trouble to prove himself a back
number, because there have been evil
dences that he would be In the right
II he dared to. Why the nation should
stop at receiving gold and silver and
putting out warehouse receipts against
them, and not include the immensely
more valuable commodities, wheat.
corn, cotton, hay and other products of
the soil, he does not explain. The rea-
son is that he is less concerned about
a rational view of the money question
than he is about catering to both sides
of the financial controversy and OPEN
ing a way to glory for Boies. of Iowa.
His scheme is illogical, impractical. and
Will be received with either silence or
contempt in both the gold and the sill
yer camps.

become more completely suffused than
they are likely to be for years to come
with the idea that patronage is a source
of weakness rather than of strength,
and that the good Of the public serv-
ice is higher in its commands than
the necessities Of party politics. In
the meantime, not only the under
standing Of the civil service law held
by intelligent men, but a positive
mandate Of court declares that there
is no such thing as life tenure known
to the civil service Of the United States,
unless it is so specified in the act Great
ing the Office. The reform system ex-
tends its jurisdiction over appoint
nents, attempting to free them from
the blight Of partisanship and the spoils
system, but leaves the power Of re-
moval without interruption or condi-
ton.

No Life Teuura.

A decision rendered by the United
States circuit court at Trenton, New
Jersey, declares that no Limitation has
been placed upon the power of removal
by the civil service act, except in the
case Of an employee who may have re-
fused to contribute money for cam
paign purposes. This enunciates no
new principle, but is important in view
Of the fusillade of the spoilsmen at
Washington, who declared with one
consent that the civil service act had
established a life tenure; that the rolls
of the department were burdened with
fixed ''office-holding class" and that
reform meant appointment beyond the
power Of removal. with a prospective
pension system attached
This pretense of the spcilsmen never
had an honest thought behind it. The
law Of the question has been explicit
from the beginning. AS far as civil
service reform intends to remodel the
spoils system, it relates only to ap
pointments to Office. No attempt was
made and no desire felt to limit the
necessary power of removal. The dis
cipline Of force, the excellence of a.
service and the responsibility Of the ex-
ecutive heads Of departments. bureaus
and public offices all require that subor
dinateS who are either disobedient. in
competent or unfaithful should be
subject at once to removal by their
chiefs No reformer ever dreamed Of
interfering with this salutary and
necessary regulation. Power to remove
for cause has not been attacked and
never will be.
In the case in question a temporary
injunction was granted to restrain an
Internal revenue collector from remov-
ing three deputies, the allegation being
that they were to be cut off on ac-
count of their political belief, and not
for the good of the service. The Judge
who granted this injunction has him
self dissolved it, declaring that, as the
civil service act forbids only removals
for refusal to contribute to campaign
funds, a removal made for any other
cause is without the terms of the law
and within the discretion of the an
pointing power. This has always been
held wherever the question was raised
II deed, there is not a word within the
law upon which to hang any other in
depreciation.
The power of removal will always be
abused, doubtless. until political parties

Baron Won Ruelow, rising again, said
the establishment of a free port at

AS one Of the great army OF your country

the excellent feature which you have added
to The G l o b 9 In your 'josh column" but
by the same token I desire to state that I
am posing as one with "a grievance, in that
you appear to devote your structures to the
country press, while the sins Of omission or
commission OF your metropolitan contem-
poraries are allowed to pass UNDECIDED
For example: In the Issue of the Mime
apolis Tribune of Sunday, the 9th inst, ap-
pears an editorial under the caption Senator
Lindsay's Def," wherein the erudte writer
makes Ancient Pistol use language which
Mr.. Shakespeare attributed to one Sampson,
IN scene one, act one, Romeo and Juliet
Now, while such an error might be pardon
able in one of ''we' rural scribes, it ap-
pears little less than criminal when COM
mitted by the editor of a great daily like

are actuated by spirit of fairness and de-
sire foeman worthy supposedly of your

that you are not merely a pot-hunter, nor

How Texans Helped Themselves

A year or So ago a North Dakota
farmer, named Hines, set out to con-
struct farmers railroad to con-
meet the grain fields Of his state with
the head of the lakes at Duluth. He
was an energetic, enthusiastic fellow,
and he impressed his scheme upon the
farmers of his region. They took
stock in the company, to be paid for
In work on the road, and a right of
way was secured and several miles &C
tually graded. But there interviewed
two obstacles. There was the long
stretch Of uninhabited woodland be-
tween Red lake and Duluth to be tray
ersed, and the difficulties were beyond
the means Of organization Of the vol
unteer stockholders to overcome. The
second obstacle came in the form of
dispute with some religious sect, into
which Hines threw himself, either for
getting his pet railway or deeming the
eternal interests involved superior to
the temporal interests of his farmers,
So the scheme fizzled out, but there
was no receivership and no stock liza
bility suits.
Down In Texas. a community found
itself at distance from a main line
Of railway, and its growth and indus
try correspondingIy hampered. 1t be-
sought the company to run a stub from
it's main line; but, as the company got
all the traffic anyway, it could not see
how it would be advantaged by the
expenditure for construction of the
branch. After vainIy calling upon Ju-
piter, the villagers decided to help
themselves. They organized an i'm
provement company, with the mayor
of the town for its head, and began
building the twenty-five miles of road
to connect them with the main line.
No bonds were issued, but the viIIag-
ers and farmers subscribed for stock.
