RECLASSIFICATION URGED

The investigation into the methods of
the civil service was continued this MORN
ing by the Senate committee on civil serv-
ice and retrenchment. Members of the
committee present were Senator Pritchard,
chairman Senator Harris OF Kansas and
Senator Chiffon of Texas. There were also
present Commissioner Proctor, Chief EX
aminer A. r. Server, Assistant Examiner
Bailey and Law Clerk George r. Wales
of the civil service commission and ex-
Representative Henry NJ. Baker, president
OF the Republican National Anti-Civil
Service League.
Mr.. Serven again went upon the stand
to testify regarding matters Of record in
his office. This consumed but a few min
utes, and Mr.. E. D. Bailey, assistant ex-
amineT and chief clerk of the chief exam
iner's division of the civil service commits
sion, went upon the stand.
Mr.. PritchaTd asked the witness what
steps were taken oy the commission to
prepare for handling the increased busi-
ness brought about by President Cleve-
lands order of May 6. 1896, classifying
large portion of the public service.
The witness said the commission had IN
terviewed heads of departments and bu-
reaus to get general Information, but no
eligible lists for the places to be Included
in the classified service had been prepared
before May g. Over $1,000 employees OF
the government were covered into the
classified service by the Presidents order
of May 4. Previous to that the greatest
number of government employees included
in the classified service by one executive
order was by President Harrison, whose
order affected 1890 employees; next to that
there was the order of President Cleve-
land. covering 1853 places. Mr.. Bailey said
the inclusion of many places in the
classified service without preparation for

For County Collector

Albert II. Grant is a candidate for
Collector, as will be seen by his an
nouncement in to-day's DEMOCRAT.
Mr.. Grant has held the Office of JUS
tice Of the peace for five years, and no
Justice of the peace in the county has
a cleaner record than he has made for
himself an officer. He has, also, serv-
ed as Il member Of the City Council OF
Jackson. ndthere, too, hewas afaith-
full and careful servant of the people.
He is Republican who always takes
an active part in the campaigns in the
interest of his party. For two years
ha has been chairman OF the Repub-
lican Committee of the Fourteenth
Congressional District, and in that
position he has worked hard and
faithfully for the success of his party
Two years ago Mr.. Grant went be-
fore the Republican convention for
collector He was defeated in the con-
vention, but after the convention he
took Off his coat and worked for me
Republican ticket just the same as il
he had been on the ticket. Now he
will again ask the Republicans to give
him the nomination for the Office he
asked for two years ago, and if he
gets the nomination he will, without
doubt, be elected
Mr.. Grant is business man who
has never yet failed in any business
undertaking. He is an honest, hon
orable gentleman, and all who know
him are his friends.

Auo:ner Lesson for Missouri,

Tne State of Missouri-ffth in The
Union i'll population and volume of its
resources been again called upon
to suffer the humiliation of seeing it.
self as a community where small men
are thrust into small places. Il has
suffered much from this sort of noto-
rlety IN the past, and Governor Ste
phenS has rdetermined. apparently.
that its record in this respect shall
not be weakened. At Il time when at
tentiOn Is directed to all Of the poDu-
lous and wealthy states in connection
with the aid which has been called
for to carry on the war. the governor
has proved true to his liliiputian in
stinctS and mas excited the ridicule
and disgust Of the Nation by Il display
of peanut politics that is rendered
immcasurably small and disgraceful
by the gravity 0; the business with
whic!: n" has int"rfered for personal
motives.
In SO serious and urgent an affair
as the recruiting of MissoGri's quota
under the presidents call fol. troops
he has not hesitdted to interposc his
petty political plans and to DO what
he can to quench the enthusiasm and
patriotism of the young men of the
State by distributing his commissions
where they will be the most effective
in strengthening the party machine.
In movement etTecting .the honor
OF the Nation and its noble purpose to
establish free government in the is
land of Cuba he has applied the same
eight-by-ten methods which he would
use in local election or in packing a
convention. He has shown not hint
OF any ability to rise to great occa-.
sion or to meet an emergency requir-
ing patriotic and unselfish action.
His policy has been one of delay and
of sordid seeking for self-aggrandize-
ment, while the full sized goverons of
other states have responded promptly
to the call of the country, without a
thought of political profit or any of
the other selfish considerations which
completely fill the mind OF a man like
Governor Stephens.
Thus. Missouri has again been
warned of the supreme folly OF choos-
ing for its public servants men of
dwartish minds, petty natures and
qualities which can never be utilized
for the good of the State or its peo-
ple.-Kansas City Star.

LOUIS KELLS

Defends the People OF Kclso, Mo.
The following appeared in the
Bloomington. I'LL. Paragraph OF
last Saturday:
To the Editor:-In your Associated
Press dispatches in today's FRIDAY
issue appears telegram dated Seda-
liza, Mo-, wherein it is stated that a
lady who is connected by marriage
with the Cotton Belt Railroad asserts
that some $500 have been collected and
forwarded from the little town of Kel-
so, Scott county, Missouri, to Madrid
for tie benefit of the Spanish. Permit
ne to say that my residence in the
neighborhood of Kelso, in the little
city of Cape Girardeau for two years,
made ne very familiar with the people
of Scott county. Missouri. and with
the thrifty German Catholic farmers
about Kelso. They are loyal, earn
est people, numbering among them
selves and in all that section 2 great
many veterans of the late war and
members Of the G.. y. r.. and such a
slap as quoted above should not go
unrebuked. The lady was simply
grossly deceived and the association
of the name of the Cotton Belt road
with the rumOr cannot benefit that
road, which is now building Il spur
through Keiso. or close by, to Gray's
Point on the Mississippi river. Scott
county, Missouri, peoplewill befound
quite as loyal to our Eag as anywhere
else, and it is but justice that their
friends should speak out for them.

Edward w. FIentge tor Collector.

We to-day announce, by authori-
ty, Edward w. Flentge as candidate
for the office OF Collector of Cape Gil
rardeau county. Two years ago Mr..
E'lentgc was nominated and elected
collector of the county by the Repub-
licans, but he was cheated out of the
Office in a lawsuit Instituted by the
Democrats, who, through little
technicality in the law, succeeded in
keeping Mr.. Flentge. along with
number of other Republicans, from
taking charge of the offices to which
they were legally and justly elected
Mr.. Flentge will go before the Re-
publican convention again, and if he
is again the nominee he will poll a
vote the Democrats will be astOnished
at. Bill Flentge, as he is Familiarity
called, is one of the most successful
of the young business men of this
county. He owes his success in busi-
ness to his own energy and tact as
business man. What he has he has
worked for, and we all know that he
has worked hard and had to contend
against great many disadvantages.
He began at the foot of the ladder and
climbed slowly up, but he get to the
top as business man, and now he is
one of the leading merchants of Cape
Girardeau.
He is sIfe man for collector be-
cause he il competent, reliable, hon
est and hor ,rable. and alway polite
and accommodating to everybody.
