Charles f. Seeberger, the electrician

Brunswick, Nd, by Conductor Jerome
Swartley, and died Tuesday, revealed
the fact that Seeberger lived 60 hours

that instantaneous death should have

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
Sixteanih Annual Report of That
Body Submitted to the
President.

Washington. Jan. 22-The sixteenth an
nual report of the United States civil serv-
ice commission has been submitted to the
president. The report opens with pre-
limfnary statement in regard to the ex-
tent Of the classified and unclassified serv-
Ice, from which it appears that there are
approximately $4,000 classified positions
and 100000 unclassifed positions; of the
latter H.O07 are occupied by fourth-class
postmasters. There are 19.446 positions in
the executive service of the District Of Co
lumbia and more than 10000 distributed
among the states and territories. The
commission states that the expenditure
for salaries for the entire service. classified
and unclassihed. is approximately slO4, OO0.-
900 per annum, large increase having re-
suited from the war with SPAIN
The commission for the first time dis
cusses the question Of providing retire.
ment fund for superannuated employees.
and in this connection says:
ut is suggested that the question Of en-
acting law providing for q retirement
fund for incapacitated employees, such fund
to be created and maintained by withhold
ing certain percentage of the salaries of
employees. is worthy of the serious atten-
ton OF congress. Such law would not be
open to the objection Of establishing a
civil pension list, and IL 1t should be en-
acted the government would be the chief
gamer as the employees placed upon the
retired list because of their ineffciency
would be succeeded by active and energetic
persons in the prime of life"
Only 9.19 per cent. of those appointed
through the commissions examinations
have been removed from the departmental
service during the last 16 years, or a little
over seven-tenths of one per cent. year.
The commission says the order of the
president OF July II. 1897. prohibiting re-
movals from the competitive positions ex-
cept for just cause. and requiring that
the reasons for removals shall be given
in writing and made a part Of the records
of the office, has had a salutary effect in
holding the number of removals down to
the figures given.

ACCESSIBILITY Of merit system. In this
matter the commission makes reference
to the last report of the secretary of war.
which recommended that wherever 1t is
necessary to employ Americans. except in
the chief offices, a system Of civil service
examination should be provided. under
which requests from the governors of any
Of the islands for suitable persons to be
appointed may be filled.
AS a further argument, the commission
quotes from the proclamation Of the Phil
ippine commission, stating that the cor
ruptng influences of the patronage sys-
tenn should be suspended by well-admin-
stered merit system, thus enabling this
country TO fulfill the promise of the Philip
pine commission to give the Filipinos an

YOUR years ago Bryan made few
r. speeches. Then the free coinage
i of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
was the paramount ISSUE By
rereading the speeches Mr.. Bryan made
that year we are made to remember that
he prophesied that the failure to adopt
Tree Silver would do certain things, Of
which the following are few:
1t would increase tbs purchasing
power Of the gold Goliar;" 'make prices
fall" make tunes harder and harder"
"starve everybody, except the money
changers and money-owners;" transfer
the bread which one man earned to
another who had not earned it," 'make
the rich richer and the poor poorer"
"deCrease tho number who are happy and
increase the number who are in dis
tess"; destroy the hope of the toiIing
masses; destroy the opportunity to
work; increase the number of idle
men; "deCreose The volume Of stand
ard money; m"Ec.tmorc and more diff
cult for the farmer o live encourage
the hoardmg OF soncy': "injura The
wage-carncr make employment less
certain; discourage enterprise; "para-
lyze industr "; 'lesacn the ability OF
savings banks to collect their assets" :;
increase the danger Of depositors los
ing their deposits in savings banks;
compel depositors in savings banks to
withdraw their deposits TO pay living
expenses; '1eSseu the salaries of those
engaged in business occupations and
lessen the permanenCy of such salaries" =;
injurc those VINO have permanent invest
enterprises" inure or destroy the man
ufacturcrs of agricultural implements,
wagons and buggies''; ''lessen the abil-
ity OF the masses to buy goods, and
thereby lessen the number Of travelling
salesmen"; make it impossible for hus-
bands and wives to pay of the mort
cages on their homes" and "make it
necessary to advocate the closing OF our
public schools"
Mr.. Bryan had studied and spoken on
the silver question for years, and it is
but fair to presume he thought he knew
what he was talking about. In spite of
his direful prophecies, the nation rejected
the doctrine of free silver. That was
four years ago. In the light of what has
Il
in 1896 have come true? Only one.
And that was Republican prophecy,
couched in these terms:
Events will prove Bryan a false
prophet.
The condition OF the country today
presents incontrovertible proof Of that
Republican prophecy.

again began the business Of prophecy

but, while his subject has changed, his

direfulness.
If the nation will Just maintain its

that Bryan knows less about imperialism

~ NE year ago the Democrats
4 could not talk enough about
the ''trusts" Ii was a theory
londly held that the "trusts"
were kept in trust for the Democratic
party as the paramount" issue in 1896.
Why is it that there is so little talking
about the "trusts" by the Democrats
now? Were it not that the writer OF
the antitrust plank OF the Democratic
platform, Van Wycl., has kept the trust
issues fresh on ice, that Richardson, of
Tennessee, who presided over the Kan
sas City gathering, through his private
book trust, has made the "trust" issue
an open book; that Senator Jones, Chair
man of the Democratic National Com.
mittee, has found a trustworthy use of a
trust" In cotton as a means of extract
ing velvet" that Bryan himself is seek
ing to get elected by means of political
fusion "trust"; the "trust" issue in
politics would, during this campaign, be
