CIVIL SERVICE
Annual Report of the Commits
sion Makes Two Unique
Departures.
One a History of Civil Service
From the Beginning OF This
Country.
The Other a Full Discussion OF
Methods Governing Colonies
of the World.
Where Civil Service Has Oh.
tanned the Government Has
Been Successful.

WASHINGTON. March 4.-There will
be two unique departures III the forth
coming annual report OF the civil serv-
ice commission which will be presented
to the president shortly after the add
journment of congress-. These will be
= complete history Of civil service
from the beginning Of this government
and a full discussion Of the methods of
governing all the colonies Of the world.
Summing up the civil service history.
the commission makes the deduction
that civil service law was enacted for
the purpose of carrying the government
back to what is termed the wise meth
DDS Of the founders of the republic,
when merit and not political partisan
service was the basis of consideration
in the matter Of appointments and re-
tention in Office in the government
service. Reviewing the administration
Of colonial affairs in the world, the
commission in its report will state that
the universal experience shows that
where the colonial government is not
affected by political changes at home,
the colonial government is stable.
economical. wise and successful
generally, but that where the
colonies are affected by the
political changes at home, their govern
ments are unstable and ~extravagant. and
that in such colonies occur most of the
revolts that figure in history, producing
the high costs of military rule.
The commission report does not speci-
fically recommend an extension of civil
service over our recent acquisitions, but
the applications OF these conclusions in
the consideration of our insular affairs.
is left for deduction therefrom. The re-
port gives IA summary Of the application
of the civil service law since last report,
and cites all cases of violations with
pointed and vigorous conclusions based
on these. and there are "A number of
recommendations made in the remainder
of the report. including several renewed
from last year.

The interstate commerce commission
now makes a startling discovery which
goes far to prove that the millennial age
is about to be ushered in and that one
man shall &c longer Cypress his neigh
Dor and greater still that corporations
shall 40 longer rob the people. The dis
covery made is this, that corporations
cannot be held 10 check by restraint of
law, that the decisions of the courts have
been universally against the commission
IN cases where it has attempted to reg
ulate traffic rates and that the com.
mission IS lmpotent to enforce any regu-
iatlou regarding traffic that iuterferes
with either the pooling or rate-cutting
propensities Of the railway corporations,
Chairman Knapp of the commission
that body has gwen up the idea Of
further attempting to control the cor.
p%orations by legal means and is now re-
sorting to the Golden Rule or law of
love to secure justice for the people.
OF course the new plan has not yet been
tried IN behalf OF the people, but it has
been tried in behalf Of the railroads
themselves where they have been en-
gagged in the business OF rate cutting or
cutting each others throats and giving
the people the benefit, and Mr.. Knapp
says the new rule works like u charm.
The commission used it's good offices to
get the representatives OF the big trunk
lines running iuto New York to get to.
Kether and agree upon a uniform seized.
ule Of rates that would not be so ruin
one to the railroads and they got to-
gether aud agreed at once. The com.
mission is sc tiattered with it's success
that its next effort will be to harmonic
the Chicago and western lines and it
hopes tosucceed equally we'll. The com
mission does not say, however, when it
will use it's good offices in behalf of the
people IN protecting them from the ex.
tortlon OF the corporations. Iu fact. it
would appear from the new departure of
the commission that it has become an
instrument OF profit to the railway cor.

WASHINGTON. March 4.-Representa-

would not be a candidate for the Dem
cratic leadership in the next congress.
He stated to an Associated Press re.
porter that his decision was irreyocable.
although his friends appealed to him
not to make the statement.
The refusal Of the Democrats to fol-
low his lead in the demand for the con-
sideration Of the resolutions declaring
General Wheeler and the members who
had accepted army commissions had
thereby vacated their seats, induced
him to make this announcement.

ConfereN-e Agreement Places q Million ut
h Presid ent's Disposal.
WASHINGTON. March 4.-The con-
ferees on the river and harbor bill have
practically reached an agreement. The
Nicaragua canal paragraph will be
greatly modified and will appropriate
81, ZOO, 600 for an examination of all
routes, under direction Of the president.
The report of the commission max
ing the examination Will be made to
congress and ne provision is made for
beginning work.
Senator Frye made the following
statement as to the report of the con-
ference:
I'm the matter of the Nicaragua canal
the conferees provided a substitute for
the senate amendment giving full au-
thorlty to the president to investigate
All Isthmiam Canal Routes,
especially the Nicaragua and Panama
routes. He is to have all the engineer
and other employees he may need for
this purpose and Is allowed to appoint
the engineers either from the army or
civil life. He Is then to report his oil
illusions to the next congress. For this
purpose we appropriate 81. 0OO. 600.
The items concerning New York
harbor. Baltimore. Philadelphia. tn"
Southwest Pass and the Mississippi
river. Hudson river and nearly all the
important national projects as di>tln-
gulshed from those of a purely local
charac'ed Were agreed to practically AS
inserted IL the senate. In the matter of
the Miami project. which has attracted
considerable attention. the house on
ferees refused to agree to the senate
provision. In this matter the best we
could DO was to III d provision for
the appointment of A board of engineers
which is instructed to make an estimate
and report.
Houston Channel Modified.
"We Were also compelled TO modify
the senate provision concerning the pro-
posed channel to Houston. Tex. In this
matter we increased the immediate ap-
preparation to the extent of $500, 900.
which Is sufficient to insure II feet of
water in the channel to the sea.
"The house conferees accepted our
provision appropriating 800, 900 for the
improvement of Pearl harbor, Hawaii
Senator Frye expressed the opinion
that the action OF the conference on the
Nicaragua canal matter will prove un-
satisfactory to the country. The senate
provision was, he said, necessarily
crude. owing to the haste which attend
ed it's consideration and congress would
be much better prepared to deal with
the matter after getting the reports pro-
vided for in the conference agreement.
