A QUEER STORY.
dubuque Telegraph.1l

The story told last week of an Iowa
City attorney being robbed while on a
train near Cedar Rapids has been ex-
planned. The young attorney was born
and raised in this city, and it is said
he came into possession of $4,000 in a
rather queer manner, and Sunday
night a woman arrived in Dubuque and
before she left here yesterday she
called on the young attorney and his
father got the money chat the young
man claimed was stolen from him.

The Merit System Safe,

From the Cleveland Leader.
The attack upon the reformed civil ser
vice system which is well established
in the government of the United States
ended yesterday, in the House of Repre-
sentatiVes just as we predicted it would
when the spoilsmen seemed to have the up
per hand. As soon d roll call test was
made, which put every member present on
record. for or against the merit system
the apparent majority hostile to civil ser
vice reform which had been shown by
votes in the committee of the whole, dis
appeared and the appropriation needed
for the work of the civil service commits
sion was made by a sufficient and comfort
able majority. 1t was found that legisla-
ton to cripple the operation of the merit
system was as far away and as improbable
ever.
The plain truth is that the merit system
has come to stay, and no party able to
carry the country will ever dare to uproot
ii and return TO the old plan OF distributing
the non-political offices of the government
of the United States. The sooner this fact
shall be recognized by the spoils seekers,
the less they will suffer from disappoint-
ment and waste of time in fruitless at
tempts to break down great reform.

United SJd,es senators there would prOba-
bly, never have been a demand for choos

people. Not only have the selections been

without opposition. Mr.. Lodge in Massa-

large IN. record when complete will be a
crrditabe one to the present system.
But the movement for change has gone
too far probably to be checked by the
present showing. II has too much to sup
port H. easily recalled, in the history of
the past twenty years. What has been
done one, may he done again, and there
j. vi, espr,Id demand that the people
directly make the chuice which, left to the
state legislatures. has too often led TO the
employment of questionable means by can
dIJat,S and TO thoroughly unsatisfactory

SAYS that resolutions urging favorable con-
sheraton of thu matter upon Congress

the following states. California. Colorado.
Florida. Idaho. Illinois. Indiana, Michigan.

Ohio Utah and Wyoming.
The argument in support OF the proposed
change has grown upon the country rapid

would the election OF a senator cease TO

the people would have full opportunity of

rhr nrtrnit Pnstmastership.

TI. local movement in favor of the ap-
puiufurut Of rue Madden as postmaster AT
Detroit. Michigan. seems 20 encounter little
oppn-1riur ana evidently Washington Will
make q strong showing to the President on
rha:,ffrmatfve sid, of this momentous issue.
Mddd,ns candidacy for the Detroit post
maslrrship j. reasonable in view of the fact
that h. Is a resident of that city, money
order clerk in the Detroit post office, whose
appointment Is postmaster would perhaps
he a deserved promotion under the merit
system. and xho enjoys the enthusiastic
and exclusive, support Of the powerful
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
That order asserts that its engineering ca
pacitirs are not by any means confined to
locomotives. that il has political push
as powerful as that which II applies 10
freight cars. and in view of services rem
drred or to be rendered it demands from
th, President a capitalization of the Pres
ident's obligations in the matter in the
shape of an appointment for Mr.. Madden.
Washington's Endorsement of Madden's
candidacy for the Detroit post office will be
appreciated when il is remembered that the
Irresistible Invincibles of the District OF
Columbia. who carried Maryland for Will
liam Mckinley and assured his election TO
the Presidency had, after careful exam
post office as the plum which should fit
tingly reward their invaluable services.
Their impulse has been to demand this
Office from the President. to be satisfied with
nothing else and 20 Indicate to him with
sufficient definiteuess TO be effective the po-
!iticaI peril Of turning down so powerful
an organization.
1t Is somewhat unusual for Washington to
participate in controversy over the post
mastership Of any other city than itself,
and it is naturally reluctant to decide
between the conteEding claims of the
Brotherhood of Engineers and the lr-
Te~isJibIe Iuvincbles. But some attention
on our part TO Detrot's affairs is due to
the courtesy of reciprocity. If Washington,
as the national city. i entitled TO or must

been ratified by the Senate Ii can only be
revived then by motion to that effect
and such motion you give notice of pur-
pose to enter. You will them raise the
question of the authority and wisdom of
the administrations course toward the new
possessions and ask the country for de-
cision. That will revive the issue of ex-
panson, with you as the champion Of
policy for retreat by the government all
along the expansion line.
Ii is strange that Mr.. Bryan should say
that issues cannot be moved about at
viii like pawns on a chess board They
cannot, as rule, but Mr.. Bryan moved up
silver and drew back the tariff in 1886 very
much after the fashion of a skillfui chess
player. Very few, if any, of the free-trad-
crs were prepared for the play that subof-
dinated the tariff issue at Chicago that
year. The old guard expecting an
other ringing declaration the tariff.
But the word only was omitted from the
tariff plank in the platform declaring for
revenue and so great the commotion
that had arisen about silver that the omis-
sion escaped the most lynX-eyed of the
free-traders. Even Mr.. Vest confessed sur
prise when his attention subsequently
called to the matter. The result on the
democratic side was a campaign for silver
and for nothing else. The tariff had prac-
ticaly been sheIved by the manipulation in
the national convention.
Matters now have the appearance OF be-
ing shaped for another game OF political
chess. Mr.. Bryan at present is moving up
expansion and withdrawing silver. He Is
a bold player. and his work will be watched
with much interest
