Westboro, July 5.-Cherboni Perrin of
Fayville was aFraigned before Asso-
ciate Justice Benjamin B. Mower in the
first district court this morning for the
Illegal sale of liquor. There was suf1-
cient evidence to prove that Perrin was
selling liquor. and he was asked to pay
fine of $50. He appealed.
Joseph Teneil, another citizen from
sunny Italy, whose place in Fayville
was raided at the same time of the raid
at PERMITS, was also up before the JUS
tice of the court for sentence. At
Teneips place the officers secured so
gallons Of wine. 1t appears that Teneil
is not well, and in view of this fact his
doctor had ordered him to take wine to
build up his system. Teneil had with
him a doctors certificate, to the effect
and the justice ordered the officers to
return the wine to Teneil.

How the Politicians at Washington
Nave Managed to Give the Civil
Service Law and COmmis-
sion a Black Eye.
Especial Washington letter.

The civil service law has been hay
Ing hard tussle with the politicians.
The law remains undimmed and UNI
furnished, but the politicians have, new
ertheless, come out ahead in the
wrangle.
To tell the truth, the civil service law
never was popular with the politicians,
and IL the senator's and representatives
had voted according to their convictions
the original bill would not have become
law. Scores of the alleged statesmen
voted for the Pendleton bill, in Janu-
airy, 1888, who disliked to do so, but pub
lie opinion was in favor of the scheme,
and the congress enacted it into law
People who believe or imagine that
the law has always been honestly adj
ministered are mistaken. 1t has been
violated in both democratic and repub-
lican administrations, and it is not now
administered with absolute eXactness
There are various ways of violating the
law, and all sorts of schemes have been
devised to make it imperative.
For example, it is possible to secure
the temporary employment of ian ex-
pert in various branches of the public
service, with the consent of the civil
service commission; and such an APP
pointment is good for three months
This is admitted to be palpable
stretching of the law, but it is done.
After man has been in the service for
three months as ian expert" he may re-
ceive permanent appointment without
going through the regular civil service
channels by competitive examination
In every congress during the past ten
years some sort of effort has been made
to get around the law without repeating
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1899-05-13

II. Out of the brains of various states
men have emana.ed bills of devious
character, but not one of these bills has
ever been favorably reported, because
the representatives believe that the
law is popular, and they dare not place
their votes ON record adverse to the law.
You know that every ten years The
congress provides for taking the CEN
sus of this republic. That is, not mere
ly the enumeration of our population,
but the collation. of statistics covering
all branches of business. To accom-
plish this work in the course of two
years upwards of 5000 people are APP
pointed to clerical positions in WASH
ington, and something like $4,000 emu
merators throughout the country. All
of this work is done by a bureau called
the census Office; and it is done under
/ the supervision of supreme official
called the director of the census.
Ten years ago the writer witnessed a
prolonged struggle in congress over the
formulation of census law. The civil
service rcformers in congress are very
few now, as they We're then. They en-
deavored to provide that all appoint
ments to the census Office should be
made through the civil service commits
sion, and under the rules and regula-
tions adopted under the civil service
law. The spoilsmen in congress largely
! putnumbered the reformers then, and
| they outnumber the reformers now
One year ago census bill was intro
! duccd, and was passed by the house of
representatives, but it was held up in
the senate. When the recent congress
assembled last December, the census
Office bill was taken up in the house of
representatives, and also in the senate,
and the old struggle of the spoilsmen
versus the Ieformers was repeated. AL
most three months elapsed before bill.
was finally agreed upon and enacted
into law. Finally it was agreed that the
appointments in the census office
should be made under the direction OF
the director of the CENSUS, and without
irving consideration to the civil service
commission or the civil service law.
thus, without voting to repeal the
civil service law, the senators and rep
resental.ves indirectly showed their
contempt for the law. They said, by
indrection, that while the civil sery'
ice law was good enough TO cover the
executive departments of the federal
government it was not good enough to
cover the census Office. BY thus ig-
noring the Law they have made it pos
sible to provide places for Political
workers, just as they used TO do un
der the old spells system before civi
service reform debouched upon tht
political field. The only trouble with
Them is that the spoils system side
show will only last a couple OF years

Life Saved by Swamp-Root.
The Great Discovery That Cures Kid
ney and BLADDER Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than b. any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself a most
wonderful cure for all diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also

and containing some of the thousands

I cannot acknowledge the civil service
commission in making appointments.
because the congress did not acknowl.
edge the commission. Therefore shall
make all of the appointments upon my
own responsibility, just as the congress
intended should do"
So you see, that, although the con-
gress ignored the civil service commits.
sion, after long struggle in both the
senate and house of representatives., the
civil service commissioners carried the
fight right into the census Office itself,
but without avail. Because of this state
of affairs, the statement was made at
the beginning of this letter that, al
though the civil service law remains
untarnished, the politicians have come
out ahead in the wrangle.
The fruits of this condition are al
ready apparent. One of the older con-
gressmen to-day said: while don't
believe in the civil service law, must
acknowledge that it has afforded me
much protection. Heretofore I have
been able to reply to Office seekers that
| could not secure appointments for
them, on account of that law, and it
was accepted as IA good excuse. Now,
however, they are all after me for APP
pointments. Those who receive my rec
ommendation and are appointed will
be my most helpful politicians at home;
but those who do not receive appoint
ments will blame me, and become my
enemies and opponents for all time.
Every congressman is now suffering
| from this complicated condition of af-
fairs"
Strange as it may appear, the office
! seekers would invade the white house,
I if they dared to do SO. Hundreds of
letters of application for appointment
have been sent direct to President Nc
, Kinley by men from various parts of
the country, who know him, and believe
that they are entitled to official rccog-
milton for services rendered in securing
! his nomination and election. II may
be said to all such that they need not
blame Mckinley for not appointing
them forthwith because the president
never sees their letters.
There is only one sure way of getting
onto the pay roll of the census Office,
and it may be good thing for the Office
seekers to have this pointer. If you
can get both the senator's from your
state and the representative of your
| congressional district TO 20 TO the 1i.

ment, you may prove to be succ, ssful
If you have not and cannot get this

been taken, the census Office must be

On March 3, 1899, just "a hours be-
fore the adjournment of congress,
the president sent to the senate the
nomination of William II. Merriam, OF
Minnesota, 10 be director of the CEN
sus; and the nomination was promptly
contil med. On March the presi-
dent issued a commission to Mer-
am, and he at once assumed the
office. An assistant director and a
chief clerk were appointed, and Di-
rector Merriam went to Minnesota to
close up his private business affairs, in
order that he might be able to devote
all of his talents and energies to the
duties of the Office.
This official was once governor Of
Minnesota, and has long been promi-
nent in state affairs, but he was not
known as national character until
the president appointed him to the POI
sition which he now holds. After an
absence of three weeks he returned to
Washington and found the trails of the
spoilsmen all over his new office.
There were almost 1000 applications
for appointment; and he only intends
to appoint about 200 clerks during the
first six months. He is now engaged
in the work of wedding out the prob
able incompctents and selecting those
who are likely to prove capable of rem
dering efficient service. Applications
for appointment are coming in daily;
and it is estimated that he will have
about 10000 applications on file before
the close of this year. Altogether,
there will not be more than 5000 APP
pointmcnts made for service in this
city. The others will be appointed to
do local work in the cities, counties and
congressional districts of the several
states, all of them near their own
homes.
Although congress Purposely ignored
the civil service commission, the
president of that body undertook to
induce Director Merriam to select
n civil service board to aid him in Sc.
Letting men and women for the various
! positions. Director Merriam recently
said: while | am not spokesman, and
| while / believe in the civil service law,

JOHN'S GOOD IDEA.
He Thought Angel Food ShOuld

brand on 1t.

A woman whose husband was physician
for the California state prison recently had
in her kitchen one of the convicts from the
prison, Chinaman, serving a short SEN
tence for theft, but whose subsequent good
behavior had made for him many friends
among the government officials. John was
a good cook and more than clearly, so the
doctors wife hailed him with delight and
mourned greatly when the days were busy
and John was not allowed beyond the pris
on walls. John, when in the world, had
heard good deal about the Sunday
school, life OF his fellow celestials and
since his confinement had thought much on
the subject.
The doctor was very proud of Johns
cooking and one day invited few friends
in for dinner. John was in his element
and prepared an elaborate meal. Among
the many delicacies for dessert ordered by
the doctors wife was an angel cake. Johns
chief culinary success. Great was the con.
sternation and surprise of the hostess and
the amusement of the guests when John
bobbed into the room carrying huge,
snowy, uncut angel cake, bearing across
the top in huge red letters the word "Heav.
