therefore equally proper to hold that a case
not entirely cured within two weeks must be

TENURE IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Hon William Dudley Foulke who was a
member of the committee of the National
Civii-servce Reform League to consider
the question of approximation. has sent
copy of the report of the committee to the
Journal. because this paper has advocated
the appointment of employees under the
civil-service rules for given term of years.
The objection of the committee to such a
proposition is that it would not accomplish
the result namely-the getting rid of super
ANIMATED employees or those who are inefi-
cent. If reappointment were permitted it
would be most likely to be Intellectual, as re-
appointment would be secured without ref
erence TO special fitness. Such a system.
the committee believes. would be a hap
hazard one, because many who should be
dismissed for inefficiency would be retained
to the end of their term.
The report of the committee alluded to is
devoted largely 20 considering provisions
for the care of employees when they are too
old to render good service. Mr.. Foulke and
his colleagues seem to assume that few
heads of bureaus departments will as
sumo the responsibility Of turning out an
old man who has spent years in the public
service under conditions that make him a
pauper Mr.. Foulkes committee does not
believe in a civil pension system, but makes
the following recommendations:
Your committee unanimously recommend
as the best remedy for approximation q

ferred annuity plan by all employees during
probation. as prerequisite TO fnal ap-

NOTHING BUT HOME BEEF
TOMMY ATKINS CANNOT EAT JUICY
AMERICAN STEAKS.
Latest Information Regarding the
Exclusion of Foreign Meat
from the British army.

WASHINGTON, May Upon being ad-
vised. about three weeks ago. through the
press dispatches from London, of the ex-
cIusion of foreign beef from the British
army use. the State Department instructed
Ambassador Choate TO report upon the
matter. Information has been received that
the order to the army contract officers of
the British War Departn ent, on April 3
last, excludes from army use, for six
months, from June l next, all foreign beef
of every description, whether dead when
imported or slaughtered in Great Britain.
DR.. Wray. inspector of American cattle,
appointed by the Department of Agricul-
ture, who has investigated the subject, is
of opinion that the order. when carried into
effect, will not result in any considerable
direct loss to American exporters of beef
and cattle. for the reason that the domes-
tic supply of beef for all purposes in Great
Britain and Ireland is so limited that what
ever beef may be shut out from army use
by the new ruling and notice necessarily
will be absorbed by the general market.
There is no oversupply now.
The annual report of the British Board
of Agriculture for 1899 showed the total
number of home-bred cattle in the United
Kingdom to be cattle in the United King
dom, in milk or in calf. cows and heifers,

O0o Assuming the 4.07S,OO0 to be all that
are properly available for slaughter. they
would furnish something less than one OK
or bullock for each ten persons of the pop
ulation if the population amounts to 10000
OOO DR.. Wray thinks it clear from the
statistics that for whatever beef the army
may draw on the local markets an equiva-
lent will have to be furnished from abroad
for the general market.
The quantity of beef imported from the
United States and Canada (Which is
equally affected by the ruling and notice.
is very large and is increasing every year
and is brought TO Great Britain only to
supply the demand. or the aggregate con-
sumption, so that, according to the views
of DR.. Wray and many exporters whom
he has consulted, there is cause to APP
prehend any appreciable direct injury ia
the American trade. If these views are cor
rect the great probab ility is that it will not
be practicable TO enforce the new rule for
even the six months for which the expert
ment is proposed to be made and that con-
tractors in order to fill their army con-
tracts with the requisite quantity of beef
of good quality will have to be permitted
to furnish some import ed meat
