Ex-Commissioner Gregory Outlines Hie Idea of a Comprehensive System. ‘To the Baitor of The Evening Star: ‘My attention was recently called to a brief communication published some weeks back in your paper complaining, somewhat bitterly, of « speech of mine on the civil service reform. Thold that the present civil service reform is neither deep enough nor broad enough. Jn placing « guard at the gateway of the public service and insisting upon the examination of applicants it did well, but it should have gone Within the gates and organized the service in such a way as to remove every root of partisan- ship and corruption which existe there. So far from injuring the clerks now employed such a reform would certainly benefit them, by giving both dignity and permanence to their appointment. e But f con best explain my views by puttin, them in the form of an act of Congress, as did in the speech referred to. I would intitle this: ‘An act for the further reform of the civil service: Whereas, ‘The public service under the gov- scment requires Sdelity, expect, Intelligans only in and experience such as can the work itse! id Whereas, ‘Those employed in this work ought net enly to be chosen for ascertained fitness, Dut to be retained during efficiency and good behavior in order to give the country the full benefit of the experience and skill gained in the service; and Whereas, The pay of the people's servants ought not to be more than the people themselves can earn iu similar work for private employers equal ability, labor and responsi erefore, acted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Con- grea assembled. Sec. 1. All future appointments to clerical or other services or work in the executive de- partments in Washington and in the postal and customs service of the country, except ax here- inafter provided, shall be made to the lowest grades of such service in the several depart- ments and offices respectively. ‘This shall not include mere manual Ixborcrs whose employ- ment is by the day or week for temporary serv- ice. Sec. 2. No person shall be appointed to such lowest grade of clerical or other service or work who is under, say, eighteen years or over, say.thirty years of age. and who shall not he » examination under the rules of es apacity and acquired qualitic luce to be filled, and such examination shall competitive, as provided by law and by the rules of the civil service commission. Sec. 3. All persons appointed under this act shall be paid as follows: 1. All ‘clerks, coprists, filekeepers, counters, enumerators or others doing clerical work shall be paid during the first year of their service at the rate of, s3 ‘a year, and this pay shall thereafter be in: ¥ ntingous service £100 a year: provided the fidelity and efficiency of the employe shall be approved by the head oz the department or office in which the service has been rendered, and provided | that the maxizium salary shail not excced £1,800 n year, the suiarr of the highest grade of | clerks at the present time. 2. All messengers, watchmen and doorkeepers, and all clerks, distributors and lette= carriers in eities of less than 20,000 inhabitants shall be paid during the first year of their service, say, 5300, and this pay shall be increased each suc- ceeding year of continuous service #100 a year on approval for fidelity and efficiency, but the maximum pay shall not exceed, say, €1,500 a year. “Sec. 4. The head of each department may designate in his department and. in any office under his control such places as in his judg- ment require superior technical, scientific or professional learning, skill and experience, and these places #hall be filled by persons who have passed the competitive examination provided 'y the civil service commission to test such siperior qualifications: and such appointments shall be made in the manner provided by civil service rules, prescribed by the President, and the salaries shall be such as Congress may from time to time preseribe. Sec. 5: The provisions of this act for the annual increase of pay shall apply to persons already in the service, but no increase shall be allowed except in due proportion to the time already served and the maximum pey shall not ease exceed that now provided in execative departments and in the customs and postal service throughout the country. ‘This plan, as will be seen, retains all the ma- {chinery of the present civil service commis {so far ‘asappointments are concerned. It sub- “stitutes for the present unequal, and often ex- travagant pay at the outsct, salaries fully equal | io the average pay for similar services under private employers and corporations, but it does hot tempt the personal greed or stir the party zeal of millions of office seekers. Young men will not, in such large multitudes, haunt the oftices oF solicit Congressmen for appointments which will give them at the outeet only £400 a year. ‘The second important feature of this plan is the steady annual advancement in wal- ary which it provides. Under the present sys- tem the clerk who has sufficient “intluence” to | aid him may be promoted from €400 to £1,200, $1,400 or even to £1,800 in a single year, oF if unfriended he may remain, as is often the ease, at the lowest pay for many years. The r increase of 00a oyeur, we be wou only by efficiency and good behavior, will induce the average clerk to give his best services; the continuance continuance in his promotion through all those years, through which it opens to him an ad- vancing career. The principal is that of the best civil service systems of Europe. It con- forms to the dictates of common sense. It ap- peals to the self interest of theclerx. The plan further preserves the rights of the present em- ployes. It reduces no man’s salary, but on the other hand, secures to many a friesidiess though faithful clerk the higher pay to which his loug service entitles him. “If there are clerks who fear that their thdelity and efficiency are not such as ie ensure them the benefits of this to such my views will seem odious and but to those who wish 1 service of the gov and useful careers: refofm here advoe I of promise. Tam one of those who believe that the civil service of our country ix in the near future to be vastly extended. i count that the govern- ment will, ere many years, fina itself called upon to take into its hands much of that publie service which is now allowed to enrich corpo- rations and become the Lasis of dangerous m0- nopolies. The work to be done for the safety, the civilization and the well being of all must. in thue, require the talent and labor of much larger numbers of men and women. But what ontemplate such evlargement of the civil vice without feel- ing the danger that must result under the pres- ent hazardous, trregular, politic-infested sys- tem: Chauge ‘the system so that the natural impulses and pei interests of every em- ploye will be on the side of good work, ana the | enlargement of the service, to whatever extent, | may be made without public dauger or politi- | eal corruption. I cannot believe it necessury for me to answer the charge of hostile feeling agains: the gov- ernment clerks which my critic attributes to me. No man has more freely or frequently ex- | pressed his admiration of the good character and ability of the great mass of the government employes, both men and women, in this cit and generally throughout the country. My whole aim has been to relieve them from the shame of dependence upon the good will and influence of politicians and to open to them the chances of a career us honorable to them- selves as it iv useful to the republic. Joux M. Guecory. ———__-2 —_ Gov. Mellette Will Appoint Moody. . A Pjerro, $.D., dispatch says: ‘The senatorial situation continues with the possibility that no | election will be held this session, and Gov.

The number of visible planets dur- ing the early evening hours has ap) bly leavenod, one after auother having to the irresistible attraction of the san and been drawn within the radius of his powerful light, until they have grown dimmer and dimmer, and at last disappeared from view for the time being, to reappear, however, as morning stars, and agwin to take up thelr never-ending wander- ings across the heavenly vault, jupiter, so long the most brilliant and con- ous of the starry hosts, who came into almost before the sun went down, is fast nearing a crisis in his career. We have seen him gradually growing dimmer and remaining above the horizon a much shorter time after sunset, until now he is only about fifty minutes bebind the sun. This interval decreases three or four minutes a day uniil the 13th, when the two disappear together, and we do not enjoy Jupiter again as evening star until September. Mara, whose prominence was a few mouths ago largely due to the good company in which he moved when he wad Jupiter were attempt- ing to pass each other, been constantly separating from the giant planet until there are fnlly three hours between the two. Owing to his moving away from the carth Mars’ brillianey | has considerably fuded, his diameter being | only a little over five seconds and a half of are. He is moving to the northward in declination and iv in the constellation of Cetus, not very far from Omicion Ceti, one of the most inter- esting of the stars. Saturn rises about 8 o'clock and comes to our meridian about 2 o'clock in the morning. Al- though astronomically a morning star, we have his sovt light throughout the greater portion of the night, and he is the most prominent of the lanets until Venus aj irs above the eastern forizon. Saturn is alowly increasing in nize, and about the middle of the month will have at tained his full growth for the year, after which he begins growing smaller, the diminution con- tinuing until the middle ‘of August, when he once more begins to enlarge. He rises eurlier and earlier each succeeding night, there being two hours difference of time between the first and closing days of the month. He is still in the zodiecal constellation of the Lion, not far from the star Regulus, which marks the handle of the sickle and serves ag a guide to point out the planet. Mercury also morning star and is gradu- ally approaching the sun, being ubout one hour anda half below the’ horizon when the sun sets, a period that is decreased at the rate of two minutes a day throughout the month. Under no circumstances can we hope for even pse of this most elusive of planets this mouth, as the sunlight is far too powerful to admit of his being seen, and even at the time of his conjunction with the waning moon Luna is herself invisible, as she is about disappearing from the celestinl ' stage to reappear robed in a newer, fresher costume to play her part in the tableaus for the mouth. Uranus and Neptune are said to be such won- derfally grand and mighty planets that it is but an aggravation to. think of them shining only for the benefit of the scientist, and that the ordinary mortal, who at the best has not a pair of binoculars for his astronomical outfit, denied « chance of seeing their fair faces. Last and most beautiful of ail comes Venus, rising some three houts before the refulgen! beams of heaven's great light usher in the waking day, and shining with unsurpassed brilliancy, easily supreme among the luminaries of her locality. For eight months more none but the eurly birds will eateh a glimpse of this peerless orb in the full measure ot her glory, as September will be half over before she will re- sume her sway among the evening stars, The supremacy of Venus has always been acknowl- edged, as, for example, in apportioning the arts of the hand to the different plan- ets, chiromancy gives the thumb to Venus— from which mankind is sup to have de- rived the expressio: in relation to getting the gentler sex “under his thumb"—while the forefinger goes to Jupiter, the middle to Saturn, the ring finger to Sol and the little one to Mercury. ‘On the Tzth the crescent moon and Mars are at their closest for the month. Neptune has his turn on the 16th and Saturn on the 24th. The serene and steady light of the pale yellow planet will be rather dimmed by the soniewhat too close proximity of his neighbor, who, hav- ing just ‘the phase of full moon, will be too conspicuous to admit of pretty scenic of conjunctions for the month clove with a meeting between the moon and Uranus. ‘The latter is much too far away, however, to be attractive, and there are very few of us who could tell him from the stars that surround im. Ee Se eae SCHWATKA NOT DEAD. The Arctic Explorer in a Fair Way to Re- cover. The report sent out on Saturday announcing the death of Lieut. Schwatka at Mason Towa, is incorrect. ‘The lieutenant is not only not dead, but is likely to recover. His spinal injury, however, will render him a cripple for life. Frederick Schwatka was born at Galena, Ill., September 29, 1849, and was graduated at Wi Point in 1871. Hix first service in the army wat against the Indians in Arizona. Then he studied law, and was admitted to practice in Nebraska, und, turning from law to medicine, he was graduated in the latzer profession at the Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1876. Subsequently he returned to his regiment, the third cavalry, and took part in several skir- | mishes with the Indians. — In 1878 he obtained leave of absence in order to take command of a party sent to the Arctic ocean in search of traces of Sir John Franklin. The vessel in which the expedition wae made was « schooner, the Eothen, specially repaired and strengthened to meet the requirements of urctic voraging. She was commanded by Capt. T. F. Barr. ‘Lieut. Schwatka, who cha the searching party, was accompanied by Coi. W. H. Gilder, ‘Menry Klutechuk, a draughtsman; F. E. Milens, a whaleman, and J. Eberbing, juimaux Joe.” ‘The expedition, whic! tiled from New York on June 19, ‘1878, re- turned September 22, 1880. “Many skeletons of Sir John Franklin's party were found and properly buried and the mystery that had sur- rounded the fate of the expedition was, to a large extent, slispelled. Lieut. Sehwatka also made explorations in Alaska, with the special purpose of trucing the course of the Yukon river. He published books upon his expedi- tions, was un occasional writer for the maga- zines and delivered numerous addresses before fhe exvodition to Alaska was completed in 1984 and Lieut. Schwatka subsequently returned to his regiment. He was engaged a few years ago in an effort to make an investigation among the aboriginal tribes of northern Mexico. ee RIOTING IN ALABAMA, Troubles Among Miners. | Four negroes were shot dead und five others severely wounded, three of them perhaps fa- tally. at Carbon Hill coal mines, in Walker county, forty miles west of Birmingham, Ala, Friday night. Their offense, so far as known, is that they took the places of white mi during the recent strike, and when the strike was settled the company would not discharge them. The nine negroes were surrounded while aceep in Geir cabin and shot. The mayor applied to the governor for military aid. Yesterday morning CN. Clark of the second regiment received orderscox Gov. Jones to put fifty men of the local companies’ under Eris in readiness to proceed to Carbon ill, near _y mines. The military left at 6:80 last evening. ‘Their orders were to report there for duty and they left without knowing the exact nature of the eae they were ‘on to perform. special train arrived safely at 1 only thing that had transpired of John Guthrie, a negro, by a white man, | Murry, who said that it occurred over » | sonal difticulty.

It has transpired that,the insurgents counted upon simultaneous risihge at Colmbra, Braga and Vizen, and were only waiting for the departure of the troops to attack the capital, but it appears that the dissensions tevoaled at recent republican conferences upset their plans. MINISTER‘AL CRISIS JN ITALY. In the debate Saturday in the Italian cham- ber of deputies on the spirit taxes bill Signor Crispi, the prime minister, urged that the taxes proposed by the government jvere im- peratively necessary to pri Italy from falling again to the servile condition she was in as regards foreign powers in 1874.

PARNELL SPEAKS AGAIN. Mr. Parnell spuke in Ennis yesterday a0- cording to program. His jourtey from Dub- lin to Ennis was a triumphant progress, There was a remarkable series of demonstrations in his honor all slong the route. Upon arriving at Ennis Mr. Parnell was greeted by the re- ception committee and by a dense multitude of people from all the surrounding districts. Mr. Parnell, in his speech, declared that Ire- land would gain a parliament with real power to protect the interests of every class, to settle the questions of land and policé and to disarm and convert the constabulary with a civil force under the control of Ireland's elected repre- sentatives. Under such a parliament Ireland would realize her aspirations tobe a nation. In the evening he returned to Dublin on his 1 ing was the last of ) for by Mr. Parnell. METHOD OF PRODUCING KOCM'S LYMPH. Prof. Koch, who is about to start for Egypt, gave u farewell reception to his laboratory as- sistants yesterday. The professor says that he will probably be absent trom Berlin about three months. He explai:s that he only partially dis- closed the method of the production of the curative lymph because he desited to stop the Tush of doctors to Berlin. It he had described the method of manufacture more fully he says he would have been more worried about the details. Great discontent prevails among med- ical men regarding the published account of the method of manufacture of the lymph. ‘They have made numberless attempts to pr duce the lymph, but they find Prof. Koch’s de- scription inadequate to enable them to make it. ‘TROUBLE WITH BELGIAN SOLDIERS. ‘The military classes recently drafted into the Belgian army to cope with the radical riots were promised a month's leave of absence at the time they were drafted. This leave of ab- sence has already been granted in the prov- of this inces, but not in Brussels. On account the men in the Brassels drafts have become discontented, and yesterday many of them openly disobeyed orders and left the bar- These visited various inns clab houses, making speeches, i they protested against the way in which they were treated, and singing the Marseillaise. They were finally arrested by the police and forcibly conveyed to their barracks. Several were locked up in the police station. Such an occurrence among the troops is unparalleled in Belgium and indicates that they have become infected with socialistic ideas. see GREEKS MEE ITALIANS, A Free-for-All_ Cosmopolitan ight in a Chicago Tenement House, In a tenement house situated in the Italian quarter of Chicago and occupied by nearly | fifty families, representing Greece, Italy, Ara- | bia and Africa, a dranken free-for-all fight broke out last night among the inmater. One | man will die and several were injured. Arabia | and Greece were pitted against Italy and Africa, and knives, pistols, shovels and other articles of warfare were freely used. M. Trod, a Greek, was cut in a horrible man- ner and had almost his head severed from his body. Francisco Bartre, another Greek, re- ceived two ugly knife thrusts in his right side. The fight was becoming general when the police rived and charged the mob and rescued Trod and Bartre, who were removed to the hospital. Four others were locked up. When the police withdrew with their pris- oners hostilities were recommenced. Smartii under their defeat the Greeks and Arabia | took up & position on the fourth floor of the building, kept watch over the railing surround- — light shaft and awaited developments. e appearance of the first Italian on the lower floor wus the signal for an attack, and @ perfect fusilade of bullets whistled around the unfortunate Italian's ears. Beating a husty re- treat he summoned his forces, which were led by Tony Culbrao, who was armed with an old- fashioned Italian muzzle-loading carbine, | loaded with slugs and scrap iron. Ing the dangerous weapon on the Greeks he alted the trigger, and the glass roof of the light shaft | Fevembled © mammoth sieve, but no one was jurt. ‘The attacking forces retreated behind barri- caded doors, while the victorious Italians marched in a body to the upper floors to com- plete their bloody work. ‘Three policemen who ‘rere on picket duty heard the uoise of the wec- ond battle and hastily summoned the patrol Wagon and another raid was made, bat the war- ring element scattered through open doors and windows and took refuge in the dark alleys, Culbrao was arrested with several others, and quietness was aguin restored. — Secretary Blaine and Reciprocity. Acommotion has been created in Ottawa, Canada, by Secretary Blaine’s denial of the ministerial announcement that negotiations were under way for reciprocity. te between Canada and the United States. Sir John McDonald, in an interview Saturday, said: “I have never stated that negotiations partial reciprocity were opened. There was some frindly talk. not amounting to negoti- ations, the government was very glad to have and which it submitted to the ‘im, overnment.

Endorsement by men and women of the character and standing of those who recom- mend Attcock’s Porous Ptasrers is unques- tionable proof of merit. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher “640 ORANGE STREET, Brooxtyn, N. Y., February 11, 1890. **T have used ALLCOCK’s POROUS PLASTERS fot some years for myself and family, and, as tar as able, for the many sufferers who come to us for assistance, and have found them a genuine relief for most of the aches and pains | which flesh is heir to. 1 have used ALLCOCK’s Porous PLasters for all kinds of lameness and acute pain, and, by frequent experiments, find that they can control many cases not noticed in your circulars. “The above is the only testimonial I have ever given in favor of any plaster, and if my name has been used to recommend any other it is without my authority or sanction.” The Rev. Mark Guy Pearse writes : “BEDFORD PLACE, Russet SQUARE, Lonpox, December 10, 1888. “T think itonly right that I should tell you of how much use I find ALLcock’s Porous PLasrers in my family and amongst those to whom I have recommended them. I find them a very breastplate against colds and coughs.” George Augustus Sala, on his last Australian trip, wrote as follows to the London Daily Telegraph : “1 especially have a pleasant remembrance of the ship's doctor—a very experienced maritime medico indeed—who tended me most kindly during a horrible spell of bronchitis and spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea- fog which had swooped down on us just after we left San Francisco, But the doctor's pre- scriptions, and the increasing warmth of the temperature as we neared the Tropics, and, in particular, a couple of ALLCock’s Porous Prasters clapped on—one on the chest and ‘enother between the shoulder-blades—soon set me right.’? Henry A. Mott, Jr., Ph.D., F.C.S., late Government chem- ist, says : “My investigation of ALLcocK’s Porovs Pasar shows it to contain valuable and essential ingredients not found in any other Plaster, and I find it superior to and more efficient than any other plaster.”” Marion Harland, on pages 103 and 445 of her popular work “Common Sense for Maid, Wife and Mother,” says : ™‘For the aching back—should it be slow in recovering its normal strength—an ALLCOCK’S Poxous PLAsTsR is an excellent comforter, combining the sensation of the sustained pres- sure of a strong, warm hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It should be kept over the seat of the uneasiness for several days—in obstinate cases, for per- haps a fortnight.”” “For pain in the back wear an ALLCOCK'S Porous PLASTER constantly, renewing as it wearsoff. This is aninvaluable support when the weight on the small of the back becomes heavy and the aching incessant.”” Henry Thorne, Travelling Secretary of the ¥.M. C. A, writes : “Exeter Hatt, STRAND, Lonpon, February 2, 1888. “I desire to bear my testimony to the value of ALLCock’s Porous PLASTERS. [have used them for pains in the back and side, arising from rheumatic and other causes, never with- out deriving benefit from their application. ‘They are easily applied and very comforting. Those engaged, as I am, in public work which involves exposure to sudden changes of temperature, will do well to keep a supply of Attcock’s Porous PLasress in their porte manteaus,” EDUCATIONAL. ____ EDUCATIONAL.
