WHAT ONE OF THE COMMIRSIONERS SATS. appoint either of the four men designated by the civil service commission to fill a vacancy which oc- curred in the Navy department, as stated in yester- day’s Stak, was much talked of to-day.

At the Capitol to-day the subject was discussed, and the general expression among members of Con- gress was that the Secretary did exactly right. “There is no "said one member, “why he should recognize the authority of the civil service commission at all. Its rules are unconstitutional. If You examine the Constitution you will find that these rules are in direct violation of 1t.” ° “There is this one thing about It,” said another, {ot all the persons they have ox and passed there must be some of suffictent intelligence for the Position in question, which 1s, I believe, only a 1,200 clerkship; and if they designated men who were incompetent they must have been over the heads of those of highet merita. I look upon this as a kind of monopoly of patronage.” A POSSIBLE WAY OUT OF THE DIFFICULTY. As stated in yesterday’s Star, Secretary Chand- ler, in returning the four certified names to fill a clerkship in the Navy department, stmply informed the commission that the examination papers of those certified did not show a sufficient d ot general intelligence to warrant him in §py of them to a position in his department ny further action th the matter it 1s thought, must come from the clvil service commission: ‘The general interpretation of the civil service Tules is that but one certification can be made for a vacancy, and that one of the persons named must be selected. In this case it 1s thought that the only Way out of the difficulty is for Secretary Chandler to accept one of the men, to be discharged for in- competency as soon as it 13 practically proved. AS all appointments are made for a probationary Period this. course could be pursued. This is the situation, as near as can be learned, at the Navy departinent to-day, SECRETARY CHANDLER did not deciine to make an appointment trom those certified, but only expressed his opinion. It is thought probable that the regulations may be so modified by the President as to admit of the certi- fication a second time, or the course spoken of above followed. oe ‘The Relief of the Poor.

To the Editor of Tax Eventa Sram: I was speaking to a friend upon the subject of our city bread—so beautiful to the eye, so perfect in texture, but in reality so very disappointing, with- out flavor, and apparently without substantial qualities which are supposed to accompany the simple word bread. The old-fashioned art of maki bread is almost king good he important element of yeast 1s now chemicals, which give a preternat- ural lightness to the dough, but extract all the sweetness and flavor from the bread; and when we think how many children it has to feed, and how small a portion of nutriment one loaf containg, then think of the appetites of children, Sharpened either RY, Work oF lay; the small wages doled out in many for actual labor, we only wonder how the live, and how the father of a numerous Babiew supply their daily recurring. wants. ‘We hope some wise heads and warm hearts will devise some way of meeting this evil, and of an- Swering satisfactorily the petition— “@ive us this day our daily bread.” ONE OF THE PEOPLE. 5 —__— Mrs. Fred.

On the contrary, there is a very large short interest. outstanding yet.
