We have noticed Of late that w. Dudley
Foulke has been addressing members OF
Congress asking them to specify and he
would examine. If W. Dudley is especially
anxious to make a record he has plenty OF
material at hand without bothering mem
bers of Congress. His letters 20 them looks
like a bluff when he negleCts the fallow
fields at his own door. We call his attention
to the Exchanges in the Treasury Depart
ment. promotions, etc under the manipu'
lation Of Theodore l.. De Land We have
been told they were made regardless OF all
rule, and promotions made without exam
ination Whether true or false II is well
known that De Land is a spy and sneak and
moves the pieces on his chess board at
will. At least he did under Vanderlip.
We confess we have little confidence in
any reformatiou.a as. long as rules are per
sistently violated The Treasury Depart
mentlis not the only one where the rules
are disregarded. 1t is done in other De-
partments and persons are to-day on the
rolls who have had :su@cient influence
without first passing through the portals Of
the Civil Service Commission.
Another phase of Civil Service before we
drop:ihe subject for theRpresent Our at
tentiou has been Rcalled sto w. Dudley
Foulke's definition of campaign assess
ments. He says voluntary contributions
are not violation Of the law. Everybody
knew that, or ought to havesknown it, but
coming from W. Dudley it has an entirely
different meaning, II is simply an invita-
ton to campaign committees to make
assessments and levy contributions. After
reading what the Civil Service Commis-
sioner has said. manv a clerk who can lily
afford to pay will yield up his sper cent of
his. salary practically under duress They
will be afraid TO refuse. There has been
someSlittle independence-nOt much-here-
tofore. Now with w. Dudley's approval of
campaign contributions Government en-
ployes will interpret his approval as a COM
mand to stand and deliver We are sur
prised at such a sturdy reformer approving
such a method or obtaining campaign
funds.
But the above only goes to show the
utter hollowness OF the whole system. 1t
is not what it ought to be, and in more than
one instance it has been an engine Of op-
PRESTON on the one hand, and a machine to
bolster up favOrites on the other.
It is we'll known now that Republicans
are more favored than Democrats, and it is
just as we'll known that they always will be
under the system as now administered.
In the meantime-tO repeat ourselves

The British Defeat.

The Dutch burghers Of South Africa have
inflicted numerous humiliating defeats
upon the British hireling army invading
their country, and have lowered the pres
tige of British arms to the point of conti-
mental contempt in Europe. The recent
capture of General Methuen, second in
command Of the British forces, while of great
importance to the Beers. as not rightly re
garded by men Of British blood is humil-
ating as the iuglorious flight Of British
soldiers in wild panic from EQUAL numbers
of foemenl The Castlebar Races" in Ire
land is the only parallel we can now recall
Of British soldiers throwing away guns
and accoutrements to sprint for over
double the number Of miles Methuen's men
ran from the pursuing Beers. The French
who came to the aid Of the Irish in the last
years of the famous so called Irish Re-
bellion of I798 were but handful of vet
erans. On landing they were opposed by
an overwhelming majority Of British cav
airy, infantry and artillery. These vic
tors of Valmy and numerous other bat
tle6elds, however, were unaccustomed to
reckoning numbers in a foe and, at the
command Of their officers, instantly de-
ployed and gaily attacked the enemy. The
British astouuded at their audacity, under
took to eat them up, but the gallant French
men promptly closed with the red coats,
and then began the famous Races Of
Castlebarw The English broke, ran, fed
in wild confusion, and certain vivacious
Irish chroniclers maintain that some Of the
British soldiers are running yeti
The importance Of the Boer victory is
recognized even in England. It's signif-
canoe lies in the fact that the British people
had been deceived into the pleasing illusion
that the war was practically over, and that

Congress and the Census Law

Whoever is TO blame for the deception
practiced on Congress in the permanent
census law, whereby the deserving clerks
of that department were cheated out of the
benefits designed for them in the original
law as il passed both Houses, the trick is
unworthy of honorable men and belongs to
the domain of the misdirected ballot box
stuffer and ward heeler. whose energy is
rewarded like the prostitutes favors-with
an established price per head.
Congress cannot afford to let the matter
rest where it is and face honest if humble
constituents who have been made acquainted
with the juggler's trick by the press of the
country. It would be much more honorable
and, indeed, acceptable to the American
people to at once repeal the act creating a
permanent census bureau if the intention of
its creation can be successfully eluded bv
the ehicannery or juggling of a few ind-
viduals.
The action already taken by Congress to
vindicate IFS dignity is in the right direc-
ton and the people will sustain and approve
Of the open, manly and courageous repudia-
tion of the conference committees unac-
countable conduct in not only substituting
language, which changed the recorded in
tentions of the House and Senate but in
cOncealing the act and even pledging their
honor to the assertion that no material
change had been made
Congress is the law making power; il is a
coordinate branch of the Government and
neither the executive nor judiciary Is em-
powered to limit or defeat its will by un-
derhand means or indirect intimidation.
And that is precisely what has been done
with the census law by collusion in the
committee of conference with some authora-
tative and commanding influence to whose
mandate or ibSe ditif the representatives
of the law making power of Congress basely
bowed the pregnant hinges of the knee.
Individual members of the House and
Senate owe it to their regulations and man
hood to 60 on record even if the remedy is
defeated which is now proposed vy the
Census Committee. Let the original bill
be again voted for, and if enacted into law
minus the signature of the President, Con
gress will have vindicated its dignity and
its peerhood as a coordinate branch of the
Government. Let there be no ambiguity as
to who is responsible for a refusal to
classify the clerks. If the President vetoes
such a measure, permit him to go on
record. 1t is unfair to assert that he would
have vetoed the original bill as it passed
Congress. The conference committee thus
steals his good name and hides behind his
personality their own deception Of their
colleagues.
Let President Roosevelt have chance to
veto or approve the original bill for the
classification of the census clerks.
Men in every Congressional district in
the United States are deeply interested in
the outcome, and on whom to place the
responsibility for the defeat of the ex-
pressed intention of Congress. Any other
course is undigni6ed, cowardly and un-
worthy of the Representatives Of the
American people.

THE LAW AND THE VETERAN.
The Presidents Executive Order and
the Sections OF the Statute Giving
Veteran Preference IgnOreh.

Section I7s3-4-s and the Presidents ex-
ecutive order are stumbling blocks for the
old veterans throughout the land, as will be
seen from a notice of state convention of
G. A. r. beld in Minneapolis MINI, since
above order by President Roosevelt was
issued
"A resolution censuring Pension Com.
missioner Evans was voted down in the
state GA. r. convention in Minneapolis
Yesterday Another resolution arraigniDg
the Department for its construction Of the
pension laws was adopted. A resolution
commenting President Roosevelt for his
pronunciamento regarding the preference
that shall be shown G. A. r. veterans under
Civil Service law was unanimously
adopted. "-EVenfNg Star, March 7.
BY the above notice it will be seen at
least that the G. A. X. Convention at Min
neapolis we're misled in believing resident
Roosevelt's order would be observed by Civil
Service Commissioners If not by heads Of
departments and appointment clerks.

the Beers could not and would not stand
before any considerable body Of British
soldiers In fact that the few Beers left
were on the run as fugitives and gnerilias
hiding like rabbits at the approach Of
British patrol Hence Kitchneris elegant
dictiou in his reports of "bagging" so many
burgh, rs cattle and wagons each week as
if he were hunting game and having a

British people are beginning to realize what
the universal world is convinced of and that
is, the Beers of South Africa are unconquer-
able When the last Boer is planted what
is left of the British Empire would not
bring at auction sufficient 10 defray the ex-
penses Of transfer Nor will an alliance
with an Asiatic race either save or add to
the damaged prestige of British arms even
if in the end the millions of England
triumph over the thousands in South Africa.
AS a military power England has received
its quietus from the Beers and the flight of
Metheuns S frightened soldiers in mad panic
before.equal numbers of the foe is but typi-
cal of the present valor and efficiency Of the
once boastful British army. The flight of

cent glorious victory with his handful of
heroic followers over an experienced gem
eral and the trained troops of the British

OBSERVER.
For the Civil Service Commission.

Editor Sunday Globe.
Again hear that the Civil Service Com.
mission, owing to the continued and much
needed hammering given by the GLOBE, is
finally making itself known. There is
a large and prolific field for it to work, how.
ever, and without fighting the quota from
the various states lately engaged upon CEN
sus work. It was time long ago that this
same Commission had begun to notice the
tribe Of District thieves who we're engaged
in appointing their friends and relatives to
life-lasting and stolen jobs under the Gov.
ernment. It has become a by-word, in
time past, that the fash females of the Dis
trict were continually being appOiute d,
and that the Commission did not want to
catch onto the racket. And in the majority
of the cases it is not worthy, struggling
plain, honest women who are thus bene-
fitted, but the snowy, very-much-iu-evi-
deuce-breed, often several in one family at
that. If plain and absolute justice is done
in the matter there will be a wedding out Of
large and favored class, especially before
any fool move or blanket racket is worked
for the especial benefit of a tribe Of District
pets scattered through the War State and
other Departments Let the Commission
fight this favored class equally with the
Census force, else it will earn the title Of
''Suivel Service" for years to come.

For Freedom and Against.

Mr. Cochran in an impassiOned and elo
quent speech in the House Thursday last on
behalf of the heroic Beers thus paid
truthful tribute to our English Secretary of
State.
I'VE have ignored the rights of those
republics " said he, and we have tTampled
upon the law of nations in doing it. We
have an anglo.maniac in the State Depart
ment who could see nothing in the cause of
the Beers and everything sacred IN the un-
lawful pretensions of Great Britain. Indeed
and in truth at the very outbreak of this
war every question Of international law
involved was decided adversely to the Beers
by the Secretary of State. Every conten-
tion for which they are fighting was cast
aside, and every unlawful assumption of
power and authority asserted by Great
Britain was confirmed.
And now II has come to pass, when the
walls of the suffering wives and children
of the heroic Beers are borne to our ears by
every gale provoking a responsive chord
in the hearts Of mpathetic people through
out the world, and they are willing to re-
lieve the sufferings Of these unfortunates,
that our Secretary Of State discovers some
rule Of international law that shuts the
mouth Of mercy and palsies the hand of
charity.
Shame upon this farcel Shame upon
this hippodrome by which the American
republic is yoked in the companionship of
this infamous power and made to seem to
be a conservator of the brutal hand Of
this cOnquering army. Shame upon the
cowardice of the American people in per-
mitting it, and every day ! say, How long
oh Lord, how longf'
The speech was vigorously applauded by
the Democratic side Of the House. not one
Republican hand clap greeted the speaker
This is significant of the attitude Of the two
great parties towards men fighting heroic
ally for home aud heart.
