4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: ‘THE EVENING WAR has the fullest Local (Cireatatton of any Newepaper in the Werld, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more ibaa nll the other papers publieked in ‘Washington. ee The civil service commission does not got ‘What it aeked for in the way of clerical sssist- ‘ence for as Much as it requires to carry on its work in the most effective manner, but it se cures from Congress a creat deal more than its enemics have intended that it should obtain. ‘The appropristion of the Inst Cong-ens is con- tinued. With this it will do all possfhie, no @oabt, to further the reform of the civil serv- foe. The attitude of the friends of the spoils system is just what it bas ever been—an attl- Was Your Sraixo Dasss Fre ‘Tt canmot ft fuultlessty tf am ill-Gtting corset ts worn. < Do your Corsets fit perfectly? ‘You think they do. Do you know that many Isdies wear corsste not adapted to their figures and are not aware of the fact? corsets to select from than any other two ee- tablishments in town! tade of unrelenting hontility, which seeks rather to seeare its object by crippling the commission than by open sttack upon the merit system. Instead of moving upon the intrenched posi- tion hela by the reformers—that is, andertak- ing the repeal of the law—the spoilemen at- temptafank movement. The most they have accomplished has been to thwart temporarily the efforts to extend the application of the ro form. They have done nothing after all their farions exertions to change public opinion etoept, perhaps. to coufirm it in favor of civil service reform. ‘The report of tho House com- mitten, jast publisbed, shows that distinct gains have been made in the workings of the system. The merit aystem has come to stay, and its enemies would be wise to recognize the fact. It is time and energy wasted to nseail it, | ‘especially in the fashion in which such assaults | have boen condacted in Congress. j — ee i It may not be space lost to correct @ wrong | impression that appears to exist in certain quarters that if roll call is pending at the moment that the hour of 12 noon arrives on the day of the expiring of » Congress the repe- tition of names must proceed to the end. The ‘Speaker hae no option, of course, as common sense cifotates and the parliamentary practice preseribes. As a matter of fact, there is no diseretion in the chair, even if the session is not the final one of a Congress, and where the hour hae been merely fixed by order of the Howse itself and has not so high an anthority to rest upon as the Constitution of the United Staten. A caso in point is found in the journal of the House for the first session of the ‘Twenty-cighth Congress. On June 17, 1844, the Speaker stapended a roll call after it had been begun, to adjourn the House, that body baving taken order to adjourn at noon of that day. If a roll call can be ar rested on an order for session adjournment, how much more imperative is it for the House | to adjourn when the hour strives when it is| ne louger in law or fact a legislative body. a Now and again somebody takes a besom in hand and bodily applics it to a nameless: mem- | ber or members of Congress who abuses or abuse the privilege of drawing free docnment- | ary pabulum from the vational commixeary stores. It is charged on the floor of the Senate | that the jank shop receives # large portion of | this fodder intended for rural consumption. An investigation is always threatened by these critics, but somehow the investigation, if or- dered, falls short of getting ut the facts. The curious mind wonders how all these valuabl publications get into the “junk shops,” bat has to be content with vague speculaiions of » combination of untoward cireumstances, a con- catenation whove chain of events has a begin- ning in a member's carelessness, a clerk's cu- pidity or trastfninees or a snenk’s petty lar- ceny. The “junk man” is probably the most | innocent party in the whole transaction, and | not unfrequently finds himself the victim of circumstances. The moral of all this is that the printing Lills should be more closely in- spected. No more ducuments should be issued than are needed. — ae The District conference of the Methodist church, which meets today in this city, is an important body of religious workers. It has | before it much business of interest to the de- | nemisation. Among the subjects of prominent interest is that coming up for action regarding | the appointment of women delegates to the | general conference. The conference will prob- ably be in session for a week or more. ———— ‘The more objectionable ame-dments having been left out in conference, the international copyright bill becomes a law in very noarl; the shape in whieh ite friends hoped for its passag>. ‘The publishers get rather more than the authors, but the principle of authors’ rights is establisbed in the passage of the messure, and that is a great deal. a ‘They are having great times in London with the pigmies that Stanley discovered in Afrien and brought bome with him, and they are be- coming so popular as to warrant the suggestion that they be brought over here and introduced into American politics. There are a great many politicians in America today who are such giants as to make these pigmics fee! lone- some. —_—— Governor Morgan C. Bulkeley of Conneetient should be thankfal that Governor Hill of New York even calls him “Mister.” He might call hima “Bay, there,” or “Ob, you,” or just plain “Morg. Bulkeley. ——-—— The Delaware iegisiature in session in this city while Congress was adjourning did not succeed in securing legislation providing that » three-peck peach box hold a bushel of peaches. 2 Possibly New York might compromise with her sentiment in the matter of monuments and combine her subscriptions on s composite memorial to Grant and Sherman. The Capitol will be practically without « tenant for :hree-quarters of a year, but there will be no rooms to let furniabed or unfurnished for the summer. a = ‘The adjournment of Congress on this side will rot materially interfere with the political row on the Canadian side. ~~ ee Hon.
