CiVil Service Reform.
Practical civil service reform has always
had the support and encouragement of the
Republican party. The future Of the merit
system is safe in its hands.
During the present administration as oc-
casions have arisen for modification or
amendment in the existing civil service law
and rules they have been made. Important
amendments were promulgated by eXecu-
tive order under date of May 20, 1899,
having for their principal purpose the ex-
ceptiOn from competitive examination of
certain places involving .fduclary RESPONSE
bllities or duties of a strictly confidential,
scientific or executive character, which 1t
was thought might better be filled either
by noncompetitive examination or by other
tests of fitness In the discretion of the ap-
pointing officer 1t Is gratifying that the
experience of more than a year has vindi-
Gated these changes in the marked improve
ment of the public service.
The merit system, as far as practicable,
Is made the basis for appointments to office

Four hundred and thlrty-six million dol

ized the refunding into ? per cent bonds OF
that part OF the public debt represented
by the percents due In 1908, and the
per cents due in 1907. and the 5
per cents due in 1904, aggregating SSio,O00ss
600 More than one-thlrd of the sum OF
these bonds was refunded In the first three
months after the passage of the act, and
on Sept. the sum had been increased more
than 33,00000o. making In all $330.51SO10,
resulting in net saving of over $S.379J2O.
The ordinary receipts of the government
for the fiscal year 1900 were sT9,52T,06o in
excess of its expenditures.
Revenues and Expenses.
While our receipts, both from customs
and internal revenue, have been greatly
increased our expenditures have been de-
creaslng Civil and miscellaneous expenses

were nearly S14.O00.000 less than in 1899.
While on the war account there Is n de-
crease of more than S95,000,000. There
were required SS,OOO,O00 less to support
the navy lnls year than last, and the ex-
pendltures on account of Indians were
! nearly 81, 100000 less than In 1922. The
only two items of Increase in the public
| expenses of 1000 over 1909 are for pensions
| and interest on the public debt. For 1879
| we expended for pensions S139.394.929, and
/ for the fiscal year 1900 our payments on
| this account amounted to $140,ST631G The
| net increase of interest on the public debt
| of 1900 over 1899, required by the war loan
was S263. .40S %. While congress authorized
| the government to make n war loan of
| s4O0, 600 at the beginning of the war
! with Spain, only 500 000,0 of bonds were
| issued bearing 3 per cent interest, which
| were promptly and patrlotically taken by

Boer war-Good Offices offered.
In the unfortunate contest between Great
Britain and the Boer states of South Africa
the United States has maintained an atti-
tude of neutrality in accordance with its
well known traditional policy. 1t did not
hesitate. however. when requested by the
governments of the South African repub-
lies, TO exercise It's good offices for cessa-
tion of hoSilitles, 1t Is 10 De observed that
while the South African republics made Il
like request OF other powers, the United
States is the only one which complied. The
British government declined to accept the
intervention of any power.
The Merchant Marine.
NIncty-one per cent OF our exports and
Imports are now carried by foreign ships.
For ocean transportation we pay annually
to foreign ship owners over Sl6o,oOOoOo.
We ought to ow the ships for our carry
ing trade with the world, and we ought TO
build them in American shipyards and man
them with American sailors. Our own CIT
iZcns should receive the transportation
charges now paid to foreigners. / nave
called the attention of congress to TINS SUD
ject in my several unnudl messases' III
that Of Dee g. 1897, / said:
"AIost desirable from every standpoint oi
national interest and patriotism is the et'
fort to extend our foreign commerce. 10
this end our merchant marine should be
improved and enlarged. We should do our
full share of the carrying trade of the
world We do not not do 1t now. we
should be the laggard no longer"
In my message OF Dec. ., 1888, said
"Our national development will be one
sided and unsatisfactory so long as the

Universal Prosperity.

Our foreign trade shows a satisfactory
and increasing growth. The amount of our
exports for the year 1900 over those Of
the exceptionally prosperous year 1899 was
about S5ooO00 for every day OF the year,
and these sums have gone into the homes
and enterprises of the people. There has
been an Increase OF over S50,000000 in the
exports Of agricultural products; S92, ,692 30
in manufactures, and in the products Of the
mines of over $10,000,0O0. Our trade bal
ances cannot fail to give satisfaction to the
people Of the country. In 1898 we sold
abroad S6i6 432. .676 Of products more than
we bought abroad in 1899 S529, ,SI4,Sl3, and
in 1900 $544 ,701, making during the
three years a total balance in our favor
OF S1,6S9. 779 190-nearly five times the bal
ance OF trade in our favor for the whole
period of los years from 1890 to June 30,
1897, inclusive.

K,lled Man without a Name.

Chicago. April 19-Fred w. Schmidt,
a butcher residing in Lyons. near the
southwestern limits of Chicago, was
tried by jury in Judge Bakers court
yesterday for the murder OF Pete /.
The trial was Very brief, and at its
close the jury retired with instructions
toreturn a sealed verdict this morning.
One feature of the case is peculiar.
The correct name OF the murdered man
is unknown. He was cook in a board
ing house at Lyons. where Schmidt,
who was employed in neighboring
slaughter house, took his meals, but
nobody has ever known him by any
other name than that of Pete" There
was not a scrap Of paper among his eff
fects to lead to his identity, and the
most dligent search failed to reveal it.
He had been at work in the boarding
house for two days, when he quarreled
with Schmidt for coming into the place
with the blood Of freshly killed animals
on his boots. Schmidt drew revolver
and shot him. The defense claimed
5self-defense and intends to fall back on
the plea of insanity.

1t was suggested to Col. Bows that
his own name had been used more
prominently than any other as a possi-
Bile opponent to Mr. Cousins.
1T has never been used in such a
connection with my consent" Was the
reply. No. have no ambitions that
