of resolutions recently adopted by Co
Iumbia Lodge No. ia, International As
sociation Of Machinists, complimenting
him on his administration of the Navy
Department and cOEgratulating him on

TO EXTEND THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr.. Mckinley Considering 81 Plan to
Classify InsI<iIIed Eaborers.

Although President Mckinley has ex-
empted number of positions command
ing good salaries from the operation of
the civil service law, it is said he is pre-
pairing an order to extend the civil ser
vice by bringing into its protecting folds
the vast army of laborers employed in
the various departments in Washington
and the Federal service throughout the
country. 1t is said that if there
is one class Of Government en-
ployes that should be in the classi-
fed service. it is the iaborers, the
poorest paid OF all Government employees.
This matter has recently been brought
to the Presidents attention by the
committee appointed by the Civil
Service Reform League, and it is said
the proposition has the approval of the
Civil Service Commission.
The real object of placing laborers In
the classified service the same as skilled
laborers is 10 correct an abuse which has
long existed and will continue to exist,
according To the civil service reformers,
as long as appointment to the position of
laborer is such as at present.
ii is charged that the law for the ap-
pointment OF laborers TO perform the
work of Iaborers in the Departments is
OF women. on the recommendation of
Senators and Representatives. to these
positions the women after their appoint
ment being assigned to do messenger
work and frequently clerical work, al
though only receiving the pay of a labor
er.
This, the civil service reformers say. IS
an uuwarrantcd abuse of the appointing
power and 4 clear violation Of the spirit
of the civil service law. it IS claimed that
by bringing laborers within the protect
ing folds of the civil service all the en-
Dloyes Of the Government would be
placed on the same footing. and that the
man or woman on the bottom round of
the ladder would, il merit is to prevail,
have an even chance for promotion. 1t
is asserted by those in position TO know
that during the past few years three wo-
men to every one man have been appoint
cd to the position OF laborer.
Just when the President Will issue an
order IS not known but il is confidently
stated that lie viii do SO i'm the very near
future, as he has the matter under con-

not monkey with the business end OF

There was a man climbed up tree,
Right into the home of the bumblebee'
Dear me-Dear me-
He sat right down upon limb
And the bees they soon got onto him.
BY Jim BY jim
For they lived just under where he sat
And they lit on the place where he
was fat.
Think of that Think of that
And each little bee didn't do athing
But stab this man with the end Of his
sting,
And fill up the hole itha poison juice
And ram in his singer till it wouldn't
get loose.
And they buzzed song that was fill
ed with glee,
A sort of serenade to the man in the
tree;
And the man he yelled and screeched
and swore
And grabbed at his pants where he
was sore,
While each little bee got the worth OF
his money,
He was having more fun than max
ing honey.
How funny How funny.
And each little bee kept right on with
his work,
Every member Of the hive was as
busy as Turk,
While the man got crazy, he thought
S, he was on fire,
And he fell from the tree and hasten
ed to retire
To a place that was private and ne
could ascertain
The damage to his person and try tc
stop the pain.
But he didn't have mirror and so he
couldn't see
The pimples on his person made by
the busy bee,
And the Doctor said twas smallpox
he knew it by his skin,
And took him to the Pesthouse and
had him shut therein.

San Francisco, CAL, May 22.-Briga
der General Frederick D. Grant, who
returned from Manila on the Sheridan
speaking of the conditions in the Phil
ippines, said:
Everything is settling down and we are
getting at the real work of governing and
teaching the people. Their peculiar ma
tional character makes them hard subjects
for the present You must remember tina,
they were originally pirates; that their civ
ilization Is of the fourteenth, not Of the
twentieth century, and the tendency to
brigandage is so strong among them thatsit
amounts, to disease. In many districts
the paying Of tribute to robbers is consid
cred the regular thing, no more out of the
way than taxes"
General Grant expressed the opinion
that the resistance of the insurgents
was prolonged by the events in the
United States attending the last presi
Dental campaign.
