r. Nj. Lanier the Washington rep

into action. Representative Living
ston, who probably knows more about
the inside workings of the department
than the president and the combined
membership of the committee, says
there is little expectation of beneficial
results from an investigation that is
one sided.
To make the investigation of the
departmental service thorough and
practical, Mr.. Livingston says the
committee should be non-partisan.
He does not take much stock in an IN
vestigation where the republican par
tv undertakes to investigate itself.
Besides the president has always set
an example in the Paul Morton and
LOOMS cases by generously using the
whitewash brush and the same brush IS
being applied in the investigation OF
the cotton crop reports in the agrl-
culture department.

mittee will interfere with the ornamen-
tai branches of the service.
In spite of President Roosevet's re-
peated declarations in favor of
"suuare deal" some of his subordl-
mates do not appear to catch his idea
in that direction. Political pull is
practiced as frequently and as effec-
lively today in the government serv-
ice as ever before. The pull is not
only operated in the civil service, but
it permeates the military branches of
the service to degree that is repug-
nant to meritorious men in the fight
ing arm of the government.
A Navy Department Case.
A single incident is recalled because
it is in connection with an interesting
case now pending in the navy depart
ment. An officer was recently order
ed before a board of officers for eX-
animation for promotion. He is the
nephew of a former secretary Of the
navy under republican administra-
ton. The officer failed to qualify,
but before his failure was officially
announced, his uncle came to Wash
ingtOn and secured a second eXami-
nation. Again the candidate for pro-
motion failed to qualify, and again
he had his uncle intervene and secure
a re-examination. For the third time
he failed to pass a satisfactory exami-
nation, and to the surprise and indig-
nation of those who are affected by
the blockade in promotions, this Off
Ger with a pull is now before an ex-
aiming board for the fourth time.
Such condition is almost unpreced-
ented in the naval service, and the
case is to be brought to the attention
of the president, who is said to be q
jealous friend of the best interests of
the navy.

diers were lost in the memorable bat
tie of September 10 and 20, 1863, con-
tains about one hundred buildings,
the seventy-fve principal ones of
which are lighted with acetylene. To
accomplish this six and one-half miles
of mains and two miles of service
pipes are in use, while sixty-fve street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-

Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as well as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact of
