One of the greatest frauds ever per-
petrated on the people of Ohio is the
civil service clause of the municipal
code, which gives certain appointive
officials and employees of the city life
tenure upon so called good behavior" ."
No one coming under this rule can be
removed except for cause. This ap-
plies to the chief of police and all his
subordinates. 1t means that if a
change Is to be made that charges
must be preferred and If a man goes
out he is under cloud Hypothecate
a case for Canton. Suppose that the
chief and all his subordinates were
men of but ordinary ability-just good
enough to hold their jobs and still not
good enough to give the city the
standard of service that it should have.
How would the service ever be i'm
proved? Not a single man could
either be removed or reduced in the
ranks. If the service were on a low
standard II would have to remain there
and grow worse as the effectiveness OF
the men became less with age. The
only true standard is that OF merit and
demerit Men who deserve promotion
should be promoted. Those who are
deficient should be gotten rid Of. 1t Ii
not a question of what is good for an
Individual in these matters of public
welfare, but what is best for the city
and the general public.

Some surprise was expressed at Lo-
rain Sunday that the defaulting bank
ers did not turn out to church. A lot
of curious people who had not been at
tending services lately went to meeting
to see how the bankers would conport
themselves under the critical eye of
the public. When it was found that
the tricky financiers did not appear the
sermon had little of interest.

BEEF TRUST
Grand Jury Resumes Its Investiea
tions at Chicago.

Chicago, April 5.-The beef trust
grand jury resumed its session today.
Witnesses were present representing
nearly all the prominent packing cor
porations and some western railroad
men. The activity of the secret SER
vice men against all outsiders was
greater than before. 1t was said by
some of the men that private detectives
supposed to representing the packing
interests were making renewed efforts
TO "get next" to witnesses. Any such
persons located will be severely pun
isned.
So far as can be learned, some of the
witnesses today testified that all classes
of cattle, hogs, sheep and lambs were
higher last year than the average price
during the twelve years ending Decem-
Der 81, 1904. 1t was also stated that all
classes of cattle were highest in 1902.
There is also said to have been con-
siderable testimony along the lines of
the private accounts of the various
companies.
John G, Ysie, former head of the
credit department of the Schwarzs-
child and Sulzberger company was
subpoenaed to testify along this line,
although he declared later that he
knows nothing outside of the routine
Of the business.

CAN'T SELL BONDS
For Construction Of Canal Till Con.
eress Takes Action.

Washington, d. c., April 5.-Bonds
to secure money for work on the PAN
ANA canal cannot be sold until con-
gress has enacted legislation fixing the
rate of taxation on the circulating notes
of national banks based on these bonds
at one half of one per cent. Under
existing law the notes would be taxed 1
per cent. 1t is not probable the bonds, If
issued, could be sold with the addition
al half per cent tax handicap.
There is a possibility that work on
the canal will come to a complete
standstill because funds cannot be Sc
cured The expenditures for construc-
tion now average 100000 month,
with $4,000 in the treasury. The
new commission expects to push the
work so the expenditures will exceed
81, 600, 900 a month. 1t win be February
1st before congress can enact the
needed legislation and the treasury de-
partment sell the bonds. The canal
commission would thus be entirely
without funds after November / and
until February /. unless contractors
and laborers waited for their pay. a'
Congress authorized the issuance of
$3.50 900, 900 worth of bonds to use in
constructing the canal. A provision
was not inserted reducing the tax on
national bank notes based on this Sc
curity. Additional legislation will be
requested when congress re-assembles.
