Ihe President will do nothing 10
the matter until he has called at
the White House.
The appointment by the Presi.
dent OF Mr.. William Dudley
Foulke, to the civil service com
missionership, made vacant by the
resignation Of Major Harlow, OF
St. Louis, is receiving universal
COMMUNICATION. AS il is well
known. the President, who is half
hearted in nothing is a warm adj
vocate of the civil service move
nent and Mr.. Foulke has made a
record as its supporter. 1t is
stated that Pres. Proctor will
cheerfully hand over the onerous
duties of president to MIR. Foulke
aud it is believed that under hIs
able management the commission
will accomplish, to a marked de-
gree, the end for which it was
created without the commission OF
some OF the ridiculous blunders
and "red-tspeism" which has
given ITS enemies every opportun-
ity to turn its work to ridicule IN
the past.
The sentiments expressed at the
meeting OF the Bundder Industriel-
len, held in Berlin on Monday. are
giving rise to a great deal Of tariff
talk in the capital. The Gen. Sec.
DR.. Wentlandt spoke emphatiealiy

American imports, expressing the
belief that "that would bring
America TO her senses" While,
Of course, America can get along
very we'll without the German
trade if need be, there is money to
be made but Of it and if, by a care
full adjustment of tariff schedules,
a tariff war can be averted il is the
belief Of the party leaders that it
should be done.
That the German manufacturers
should show petulance at the in
roads that the American manulae
turers are making into their trade
is by no means surprising. Every
where American goods are sup
planting German products, not
only because OF lower prices but
by reason of their superior quality
and now that legislation looking TO
the extension OF American shipping
interests by means Of subsidies TO
American vessels is being consid-
cred, the Germans regard theii
cup of woe as full to OVERLOOKING,
Heretofore, too, the Germans have
controlled a large share of the
South American trade, but if the
~Pan-American congress leads &c
anything like the practical results
that are expected Of it, American
competition will be felt there a.
