Civil Service Leagues Resolution.

read in part as follows, were adopted:
1.-The league regards the order issued
by the President on the 2sth of May
last. withdrawing several thousand
places from the classified service and
relaxing the rules intended to prevent
evasi0ns Of the LAW as the first uli-
lnistakable backward step taken by
The Federal Administration since the
civil service Law was passed. The in
furious effects Of this order have al

form in their efforts to cripple the

siistrnst of the promises Of the President
and the party in power to enforce and
extend the civil service law.
I'VE also regret that the President
has not yet fulfilled the assurance given
BY him to committee of the league
of his intention to include in the CLASH
fed service a much larger number Of
places than those withdrawn, but on the
contrary has included none whatever.
We venture to hope that such extensions

THE NEGRO EXHIBIT AT PARIS
Bill Appropriating $4,000 For This
Purpose.

Washington, Dee. 15.-tSpecial.) "A
bin will be rushed through both Houses
Of Congress appropriating $4,000 for the
negro exhibit at the Paris Exposition.
Congressman White and ex-Congress-
man Cheatham. now Recorder of Deeds
of the District. are the main movers in
securing this appropriation. The exhib-
it will be in charge of a very intelligent
colored man from Tennessee, i. j.
Galloway. This exhibit will be one Of
great interest to the visitors, and Assist
ant Commissioner Woodward cables his
strong approval of the scheme. | am
confident the North Carolina delegation
will support the measure regardless of
party lines The object of the exhibit
is to show the progress the negro race
has made since the abolition of slavery.
Both Cheatham and Galloway belong to
that class of negroes who recognize in
the better and more substantial white
people of the South their best friends.
The former slave owners and their de-
scendants have seldom had any serious
trouble with negroes of this type.
This exhibit viii show evidences of
progress that will astonish those who
do not know the negro as we do. When
demagogues seek to array race against
race at the South, ! cannot help recalling
the soft lullaby of my old black nanny
whose voice luiled me TO sleep, nor the
protection extended TO my own mother
by stalwart house servants when Sher-
mans tramps followed in the wake of
the Federal army through North Caro-
lima.
When prejudice and fractional fights
are in allegiance the negro looks to his
old Southern friends--the children of
planters Of the past geneT'ati0n--for sub
stantial aid and genuine, cordial, warm
hearted encouragement in the pursuit
Of whatever will materially aid the ne
