AN OLD EVIL.

The testimony taken by the committee of
which Mr.. Moody, of Massachusetts. was
chairman, and Mr.. Overstreet. of this dis
trict was a member, was presented to the
House on Feb. %, and it has been given to
the public by the national civil service COM
mittee. This testimony is about the same
as could have been taken by House COM
mittee of any Congress in twenty-five
years. Men are employed who are not
needed. and men are paid who render little
service. The Moody committee made
suggestion in the way OF a remedy. The
pressure is probably greater upon members
of both parties every year, because, under
a bad system. evil grows. Doubtless the
piteous appeals of persons who have been
employed, and OF those who go to Washing

machinery as much as is the making Of

of so much severe, slow and killing manual
