Every little while the commission
breaks out with new set OF regula-
lions which prove q stumbling block
for those in search OF knowledge.
That circumstance gives rise to some
amusing experiences. Not long ago
Senator Pettus, Of Alabama, drifted
into the commissions Offices. Senator
Pettus is the Oldest man in congress,
q hard-headed and able citizen with
keen sense of humor. He had q
problem for Commissioner Proctor to
solve. The commissioner explained 1t
all out In great detail, while Pettus
listened gravely. Finally Proctor
asked him IL it was perfectly clear.
"Yes," said the senator. ut is clear
enough; but the trouble with your in
fernal commission is that whenever
come up here and get the rules down
fine l don't have time to ride down
in the elevator before you bring out
a new set Of regulations and have to
learn them all over again."
"1'm glad you spoke of that, sem
ator," said the commissioner, gravely.
THAT elevator is old fashioned and
we've been bothered about it's slow
ness for a long time wish you
would try to get an appropriation for
a new one"
The old senator looked at the COM
missioner blankly for minute. Then
he turned and walked out of the room.
you people are altogether too much
for me-" he snorted as he disappeared
through the door.

demonstrated whether they really are
a good thing or not.
Away back in McKinley's administra-
ton John Addison Porter gave Sim
liar order and the uniforms appeared
in due time, but there was 30 much
comment on them that one day they
disappeared from view as quietly az
they had come.
Secretary Loeb believes that this
time they will demonstrate their USE
fitness and that before long the gos-
sip about them will cease. He intends
to give them q chance.
The uniforms are very simple af-
fairs, hardly distinguishable from or
binary dress, except for the modest
brass buttons.
Capt. Loefder, the veteran doorkeep-
er at the presidents own door. will not
wear uniform, although his army
rank entities him to it; and Arthur
Simmons. who has stationed himself
at the secretary's door in ebony watch
fulness for 10. these many years. will
also continue to wear his simple suit
Of black. The ushers in the private
part Of the house. the old executive
mansion, will continue to appear in
civilians dress. So. really, there is not
much to talk about.

the president and the civil service COM
mission are decidedly chummy. Proc
tor IL at the white house about AZ much
as he is at the commission. He is a
great favorite with the children, as
well as with the old folks. and. alto
gether, he is almost one of the family.
He rides with the president oftener
than anybody else, and that is one of
the ties that bind the two together. He
il a splendid horseman, with all the
native Kentuckian's love for a dne an
imal. He is fond Of outdoor sports Of
every kind. and although he 10 within
few months of 60. and served several
years with the confederate army. he
looks hardly q day older than the pres
iAent, who is is years his Junior. But q
man who has been . soldier, a farmer,
. gsologist and q civil service COM
missioner keeps young by the force Of
circumstances.
A good many public men think that
Proctor carries his civil service re-
form theories too far. and that he 10
too much enamored Of the machinery
Of the system. But they know he IL
honest and pugnacious. and they re-
spect him even while they disagree with
him sometimes.

has seen the entire personnel Of the
commission except himself change no
less than four times since he has held
the ONCE of president. Eight commits
sioners have come and gone. beginning
with Theodore Roosevelt and ending
with James r. Garfield.
Curtously enough, Proctor was first
appointed president of the commission
on the recommendation of Mr.. Roose-
welt who was then nearing the end Of
his service and who proposed Proctor
to President Cleveland as the best man
to keep the commission going in q
democratic administration along the
lines laid down. Roosevelt and Cleve-
land were the only two men who knew
anything about the appointment in adj
vance, for Proctor was never much of
. political factor. At the time he was
state geologist Of Kentucky, place
hs had occupied for 13 years, and he
was q member Of the jury OF awards
for mines and mining at the Colum-
bian exposition.
When Cleveland called him to Wash
ington and told him what he wanted
Proctor objected. "The only thing
am interested In" he said. us the
Appalachian mountains. This will
take me away from that work"
"Oh, don't bother about that" said
the president You won't have much
to do here. Whenever you want to &c
away for month or two, we can fix II
up easily enough
So Proctor accepted, but he hasn'
yet been able to get away as Clevelan,
promised him.

second, because he is good looking, and
third, on account of the peculiar man
ner of his election.
When Mr.. Long retired from the
house to become a senator young Mr..
Murdoch promptly announced himself
as candidate for the succession. II
looked rather dubious at the start, for
he was new hand at 1t and not very
we'll known in the district; but he hit
on scheme that proved winner.
Murdoch has superb suit of red
hair. There were II other candidates
In the field, and one Of them also had
red hair. So Murdoch went to him and
struck bargain. 1t was agreed that
the two should make their canvass on
the red-headed issue, and that at an
opportune moment the weaker of the
two should withdraw from the race in
favor Of the other. Murdoch then set
at 1t. He made whirlwind campaign
on the cry that the red-headed men
ought to be represented in congress
He quoted statistics to show that one
man out Of ten had red head, and
| that proportion did not hold in con
gress. He made an impregnable case
on that issue, and the other red-headed
man followed suit. The novelty of the
canvass caught the fancy Of the dis
| trict, and when at the psychological
| moment the other, who was found t.
be the weaker, withdrew the mo
mentum was so strong that Murdoch
won the nomination in walk. Thel
he went into the campaign for election
on the same issue. and won out again

An Open confessI,

It is said that ian open confession is
good for the SOUL" On Nov. 81 Hon.
Serene 3. Payne of New York, chair
man Of the great committee on ways
and means and ex ofncio floor leader
Of the majority, made q confession of
vast importance. Hon. John Sharp.
Williams OF Mississippi, Democratic
floor leader, had been beseeching the
Republicans to 60 to work and not loll
around Washington doing nothing. In
replying, Brother Payne said: shall
we revise the tariff? Well, the Repub-
lican party is little too wise to revise
the tariff. paralyzing the business Of
the country more or less, on tile eve
of presidential election to oblige you
people! By you people" Brother
Payne meant the Democratic members
of the house. He might have made his
meaning more comprehensive SO as to
include millions Of American citizens,
Democrats and Republicans, outside
the house who are in favor Of freer
trade and more unrestricted commerce.
But he needs not their wishes. It's too
close to the presidential election and
therefore too hazardous, don't you
know! In the meantime the trusts can
work their will on the consumers of the
land without let or hindrance. Spoken
by some irresponsible and obscure Re.

quoted would not amount to much, but

high seat in the Republican synagogue
and speaks as one having authority,
Therefore what lie says is a matter
of serious import to the American tax
payers. On the subject of such grave
public interest it must be assumed
that Mr.. Payne did not speak except
after profound cogitation, perhaps aft
er consultation with other Republican
chiefs. He was speaking for his party
when he declared that. the Republicans
