not tell the story of the last few weeks

Idea of SpoiIs System in Gen.

Liked.
THE REASONS ARE GIVEN.

Washington, March 21.-Business in
terests throughout the country are ex-
erting themselves with an unexpected
degree of vigor in opposition to the use
of the old spoils system of ''non-com-
petitive examination" plan in select
ing employees for the coming census.
They are very desirous that there
should be an application of some merit
or efficiency system in the choice of
clerks and that there should be care
ful provision against blanketing into
the service the men who are appointed
in purely temporary capacity. Some
members of the house report that they
receive more letters on this subject
than on all others relating to current
legislation combined, and there are in
Gications of a strong interest in the sit
uation on the part of commercial and
trade bodies which are passing resolu-
tions and will probably send delegates
to Washington to express their views.

SOLDIERS TO BENEFIT
Bill to Pension All Volunteer
Officers in Civil War
Liked.
WOULD INCREASE EXPENSE

Washington, March 2l.-lt is declar-
ed probable that the bill to create a
''voluuteer retired list" on the pension
rolls will be reported favOrably by the
house committee on military affairs. A
favorable report under the conditions
existing at this session may mean pas
sage If the measure shall become a
law the pension expenses of the gov
ernment will be increased to an
amount closely approaching S6,0oO,00o
annually.
The bill provides for the placing up
on the volunteer retired list" with re-
tired pay, the commissioned officers
who served with the volunteer army
during the civil war. OF course. pen
sions as such for these officers will be
done away with, the retired pay taking
its place, but as the pay in almost ev-
cry instance is greater than the pen
sion, the bill has the support of the
volunteer officers of civil war veterans
generally and it may have the support
of congress.
