they stimulate the liver in the secretion Of
the bile and its discharge through the hilary

the law would aggregate more than
1000 or 5000. But the fact is that
there are now more than 90, 900 persons
under the operations of the civil SER
vice law.
ut is worth considering, in this
connection, that many of the govern
mental employees recently placed
under the protection of the civil SER
vice law have become impairment.
and Notwithstanding their incompe-
tence they are kept in the service, and
conditions are not favorable to getting
rid of them. AS | said, | am in favor
of the system in general. and believe
it should cover the executive branches
of the government, SO far as the
purely clerical work is concerned, and
should be extended to the postal SER
vice in the larger cities, and the reye-
nue. offices. This is one of the reasons
for the protest against the system
contained in the vote by myself and
others against the appropriation in
the sundfy civil bill. The heads of
the departments find their offices Ium-
bered up by old and worn out clerks,
but under the orders of the executive
with respect to removals, it is neces-
Sary to prove incOmpetency and really
try suit at law to get rid of clerks
who have outlived their usefulness,
and who are now pressing for the es-
Enlistment of civil pension list for
their protection"

CIVIL SERVICE LAW LARGELY AFALLACY

Congressman E. S, Minor of this
district in explanation of his opposi-
ton TO the maintenance of the Civil
Service Commission had this to say:
i am not opposed to the policy OF
civil service reform as generally I'M
derstOOd by the real friends of that
policy. On the contrary, | regard it
as beneficial to the country and abso-
lutely necessary to the business ad-
miniStratiOn of the several depart-
mentS of the government. But | am
mQualitiedly opposed to the present
administration of the law by the Civil
Service commission.
The fact is, we have no way of tell
ing what the annual cost to the gov
eminent is for the civil service as ad-
miniStered. We know there are three
commissioners and tfty-Seven clerks
in the bureau as constituted. and we
also know that there are forty-seven
other clerks detailed for work in the
bureau. These clerks are paid from
81 900 to 81 800 a year. and the cost to
the government for the last named
list OF clerks is not made to appear
from the published statement of the
cost of operating the civil service sys-
tenn but is charged lip on the appro-
priations to the department from
which the detail is made. Now. it
will probably be admitted that the
cost OF this system should be known
by the people. The originators of the
system of competitive examinations
for governmental clerkships, as will be
seen by reference to the debates at the
time did not anticinate that tho
number of persons in the service under

Conditions of Trade,

Contrary to the French saying, the
expected has occurred. Rapid advance
in prices of iron and steel products
have their immediate effect, perhaps
not to the lasting benefit of the in
dustry, for there is the same reason
for doubt as to it's permanence as in
1895, when Shrinkage of buying and
reaction soon carried prices lower
than before. But there is now larger
demand for many other products, and
without unwieldy combinations all
are doing well. Throughout, the
country was never in as strong a finan-
cial position as even governors of
London banks admit, one stating that
as London has financed America here
tOfOre, now for the first time New
York is financing Europe. No evidence
of weakness is seen in the other
branches of industry, nor in those
upon which the'great excess Of exports
most depends. Wheat and cotton still
go out largely. Europe is buying be-
canse it has needs, and New York is
lending to Europe nobody knows how
many millions because there is for the
present no need to call loans. The
receipts of 81, 100000 gold from Aus
tralia is announced at San Francisco.
