General Segura is an intelligent and
honest fighter. and is wholly disgusted
with General Pando's method Of cam.
paign. He says Pando spends moro
gunpowder In greeting autonomy than
TN fighting insurgents and adds that, in
his opinion, Cuba is lost to Spain unless

General Pando will sail in the morn

MAKES SWEEPING CHANGES.

Rill Proposed by the Opponents Of tho
Present Civil Service Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. e:-The bill for
the reform of the civil service law,
which has been drawn by special
committee Of, Republican members of
the house Of Representatives opposed to
the system in its present form, makes
sweeping changes in tho present sys-
tenn. The most important is tho estab.
lishment Of 5.year tenure of Office for
those government employees who are
brought within the terms Of the bill.
The measure limits the application of
the civil service system to the depart.
ments in Washington and to such other
localities where the total number of
semployes exceed 25. All appointees
are commissioned for five years with
the power of removal clearly regulated
and vested in the appointing power.

French Women as Business Helpers,

Miss Anna L. Bicknell writes an arti-
cle on French Wives and Mothers" for
the January Century. She says:
| In the families where the father con.
ducts any business the wife becomes his
best clerk, and usually his cashier. The
wives are exceedingly intelligent and
acute, extremely sharp at driving bar.
gains, and accurate in keeping accounts.
They are their husbands partners in
every sense Of the word, and it is won
.derful to see how they acquit themselves
of such multiplicity of duties. Self is
completely annihilated; and if weak
health is mentioned, it is never an i'm
|,pediment to what they have to do for
their children or their husbands, but is
mentioned only as disagreeable accom-
paniment to necessary fatigue, without
I'm idea of using it as an excuse for Short
comings.

adopted declare "that any attempt to
merge our organization with any other
party is an attempt to slaughter it. The
experience Of the Peoples party in 1907
in Iowa, Ohio. kentucky, Virginia and
other states proves that fusion means
destruction. We therefore declare in
the most emphatic manner we are
capable of, that we are utterly opposed
toany coalition Of different political
parties with view to division Of the
