and this temporary appointment continues
until three eligibles are provided. When-
ever the work Is temporary in character
and after It's completion the services OF the
employee will not be further needed, tenn

prior consent of the commission, Tor
period not to exceed three months, which
may be extended for three months more
but no longer Such appointments, how
ever, are to be made as far as practicable
by certiflcation from registers containing
the names of eligibles who are Immediately
available, and the commission can restrict
such temporary appointments to eligibles
living near the place where the service is
to be rendered.
How the Rule Will Work.
1.-The meaning of this is that If the de-
partment wants temporary employe Tor
a few weeks or months We will furnish
from our lists a person who lives In the
neighborhood, SO that 1t will not be neces-
sary for persons to come from distant
parts Of the country to accept such short
service but the appointment must be made
from our lists SO far as practicable, and
not made as a matter of patronage. The
acceptance by any eligible of temporary
appointment is not to affect his standing
on the register for permanent appointment,
so that he will lose nothing by taking the
place. This applies to what are called
temporary job employments and does not
apply to emergency appointments which
are made in cases where we have no lists
of eligibles Immediately available"
Approval Of Department Officials.
In conclusion Mr.. Foulke said: I'VE
sent out a copy of the proposed rules some
months ago with request to the depart
ments to send us their criticisms upon
them. We have received these criticisms
from most Of the departments and have
gone over any points of difference. and In
general have adjusted them. think, salts
factorily~ We commenced working on this
revision last August and the matter has
been under pretty constant discussion ever
since. The new rules have been prepared
with great deal Of care, and believe
that there is a general impression that
they are, as a whole, much better than
the old ones"

an opera house about as much

There is absolutely no public hall

Mike Connolly, or some fellow
who knows how to write it, wakes
eloquent in the Commercial APP
peal over Senator Carmack's ad
dress on the occasion of the EIk's
memorial service in Memphis last
Sunday. The writer is inspired
to dwell upon the fact that oratory
is not a lost art, but still abides.
He says, $50 long as human emo
tons beat against the walls of
environment seeking escape and
freedom, so long will there be
those who will roll the stone
away and transcend the heights
of eloquence. 1t was thus with
out warning that the gifted Ten
nessee Senator scaled the sublime
flights of beautiful imagery, as
seldom falls from human lips, in
extolling the virtues of the de-
parted brother and the basic ele-
ments of the Order charity, JUS
tice, brotherly love and fidelity
thus he responded to the invitation
of his friends and fellow members
of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks to deliver the ora
ton at their annual memorial serv-
ice. There is no one better quail
fled than the editor of the Com
mercial Appeal to speak OF his old
friend and contemporary. len
nessee has furnished some strong
newspaper writer's, but none
whose versatility had the scope of
the willy Mike. If we but enjoyed
a few crumbs in the allotment of
this talent we might find an excuse
to offer some tribute to an Grafton

efforts which inspires the genius 10

The Hanna outbreak is puzzling
the most enthusiastic admirers of
the swashbuckler President, the
man with the wide.top boots and
expansive hat. Of all the states
men God ever let live, Teddy is
undoubtedly the cheapest speci-
men on record. 1t we are to have
another Republican President the

reign of this wiId-eyed, tusk faced
chimpanzee. Far more preferable
would be the man with the IDOL

sure that the welfare of our nation
and her people would be infinitely
better guarded and protected. For
this reason and in the event the
Republican party shall control the
reigns of government during an
other period of four years, we
hail with pleasure a strong sentl-
ment for Hanna in the next Re-
publican national convention. If
we are to have trusts and high
tariff indefinitely we hope the
American people are too sensible
to tolerate another term of un-
bridled asininity.

The full measure of development
which our commerce with China may
rightfully expect can hardly be looked
for until the settlement of the pres
ent abnormal state of things in the
Empire, but the foundation for such
development has at last been laid.
1t is unhealthy and undesirable for
the cities to grow at the expense of
