Spindler’s, nl9-0d or tel. seeee peeee Late of Anton Fischer, {aisions of the civil service LOCAL’ CIVIL SERVICE Bankers and Merchants Generally Favor the Extension = * Petitions to the President Being Ex- tensively Signed by Lending Busi- ness Men—Views Expressed. From the Washington Times. ‘That the sentiment of the financial and mercantile community is largely in favor of the extension of civil service reform in the federal service, and especially to Dis- trict offices, clearly apears from the many expressions commendatory of that reform which have been obtained of late from representative men of Washington. The adverse acticn of the board of trade upon the resolution favoring the extension of the civil service regulations so as to in- clude District offices in the classified serv- ice carries little weight, for the reason that it was taken under a misrepresenta- tion, and the matter will undoubtedly be again brought to the attention of the members under circumstances which will permit a mature and intelligent expres- sion of collective opinion. Some valuable evidence of the opinions of men of finance and business upon this subject may be obtained from the pe- titions which have lately been circulated by the Civil Service Reform Association, requesting the President to extend the pro- law to the oltices of the District, These petitions have been withdrawn from circulation be- cause of the belief that the President has *!tf0 power to make the extension desired, and that the reform asked for must be obtained from Congress. ‘The petitions in question declare that “the “merit system,” as embodied in the civil service law, insures “good govern- ment and in a great measure prevents those al:uses that too long have been per- mitted to endure in the civil service of our country. We believe that the spplica- tion of this principle to the government of the District is desired by the people here, and that it will result in more efficient service than has hitherto been possible. ‘One of these petitions, circulated among tankers, has received the following signa- tures: John Joy Kdson, vice president of the Washington Loan and Trust Company and secretary of the Kquitable Building and Loan Association; Charles C. Glover, of Riggs & Co.; L. 8. Parker, president Co- lumbia National Bank; C. J. Bell, president American Security and Trust Company; Daniel B. Clarke, president National Bank of the Republic, C. A. James, president Bank of Washington; George C. Henning, president ‘Traders’ National Bank; F. C. Stevens, president West End National Bank; George W. Brown_and James E. Fitch, of Bell & Co.; W. E. Clarke, presi- dent Central National Bank; Benjamin P. Snyder, president of the National Safe Deposit, Savings and ‘Trust Company; Lewis Jonnson Davis, of Lewis Johnson & Co.; ¥. H. Smith, president Union Savings Bank; 4. S, Johnson, presidént Citizens’ National Bank; L. M. Saunders, cashier Ohio National Bank, and John C. Eckloff, cashier Second National Bank. ‘Another petition was signed with the per- sonal indorsements of the signers, some of ch are given below: bag Ww. Wy Godward: “I cannot but think its adoption would be of great assistance to the Commissioners of the District in their management of the affairs of the »District and result In great benefit to local interests as well.” A. M. Lothrop: “I believe it would be for the best interest of our city to adopt the civil service law.” Edward P. Mertz: “I heartily indorse } this “petition and the remarks of Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop.” W. B. Moses & Sons: ‘We are in favor of any movement that will benefit or tm- prove the offices of this territory. We recognize” the injurious effect of worthy assistants, clerks etc., being forced out of cffice to make room for the satellite of a man who has no interest in this city.” George W. Cochran: “I have always been of the opinion that all appointments to public office should be on the merits of the applicants, and that promotions should foliow merit, and dismissals only for cause. In a word, the same system should obtain in public office that is car- tied out in private enterprise.” +A. Lisner: “I heartily indorse civil serv- ice for the District. I have always believed in giving merit to whom merit belongs; besides it cannot fail to benefit the Dis- trict R. Harris & Co.: ‘We indorse the fore- “We cheerfully ap- rove the idea of placing the District gov- Bnment officials as far as possible under givil service rules.” ‘Thomas Somerville & Sons, B. H. Stine- etz & Son, Saks & Co.: “We heartily in- forse and approve of the object covered y the petition and earnestly hope the ef- fort will be successful.” ~ John C. Parker: “I indorse all that is on this paper. Business men never make changes in their clerical force unless it is to Jmprove their service, and the District affairs should be conducted on the same principle; no changes unless unfit for the sorvice required of them.” Myron M. Parker: “From personal ex- Perience I can say that a very large amount of a Commissioner's time ts con- sumed by members of Congress and others importuning for office. The patronage of the District government is a source of material weakness, and should be removed by the application of civil service laws.” A list of the members of the Civil Service Reform Association will also show the character of those who favor this reform in the District.

The Pail Mall Gazette of London pub- shed an interview yesterday afternoon which one of its correspondents has had with Count Herbert Bismarck in Berlin. Referring to the health of his father, Prince Bismarck, the count sald: “He suffers from no organic disease. He is weakened by time and cannot, even with the greatest precautions, continue much longer. We, of course, are very anxious about him and he is scarcely ever out of sight. Of necessity we are pre- pared for God’s will.” ~ When questioned in regard to the friend- ship of Prince Hohenlohe, the new chan- eellor, for Prince Bismarck, Count Herbert ‘We are no nearer a solution than be- fore. Of course, the new chancellor is a perfect gentleman. But there are factors near him which always necessitate a dif» ference of opinion.’ “But every one belfeves that there is a cordial understanding between Prince Ho- henlohe and your father,” continued the Pall Mall Guzette interviewer. “In that case,” Count Bismarck re- marked, “I see no use for disturbing the happy dream.” Further, Count Herbert Bismarck ifs said to have added a gibe which convince the interviewer that Prince Bismarck an Prince Hohenlohe are not on friendly terms. Asked about the new Czar of Russia Count Herbert said: “A new and particularly youthful mon- arch nearly always makes changes, some more startling than others. That depends upon the temperament of the sovereign.” ‘Then with a meaning laugh Count Bis- marck is reported to have added: “In Russia's case there is every reason to hope for the best.” FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT. Subjects Considered by the New York Chamber of Commerce. The 126th annual dinner of the New Yerk chamber of commerce was held last night. The dinner was the largest ‘ever given by that body, the number of people present being over 400, Letters of regret were received from Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, President Cleveland, Vice President Stevenson, Chief Justice Fuller, Secretary of State Gresham, Seni tor Sherman, Speaker Crisp, Gov. Flower, Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle and Maj. Gen. Schofield, President Orr cengratulated the members on the indications that the financial skies were clearing, and introduced Chas. 8. Smith, chairman of the committee of sev- enty, who had contributed so much to the cause of good government. Mr. Smith, in his remarks,-pointed out the necessity for the application of civil service rules to all employes of the city. Several things, he said, were necessary to good government. These weret. +--* “1, The mayor must have the power of removal and appointment of all heads of departments. The police department must be di- vorced from politica] influence as much as the regular army, and this can only he ac- complished with a single head. The cham- ber of commerce is committed to this prin- ciple by a unanimous vote. “3. Ballot reform, The committee of sev- enty have caused.the Meyers voting ma- chine to be exhibited in this city. It will be thoroughly tested, and I believe that it will settle this question satisfactorily to all bonest men. “4. We must apply the present civil serv- ice rules to all subordinates emplgyed by the city and get them extenced and modi- fled, if necessary. ~ “§. The day laborers shall have equal chance of employment by registering in books open to the public, and secure em- ployment in turn, and not depend upon tke favor of office holders or of political pulls.” Dr. Parkhurst’s letter of regret was then read. After expressing regret at his en- forced absence, he said: “The triumph of November 6 was a pro- test against dirty politics, and now the fol- lowing up of the results of that victory must continue to be a protest against the interference of small and pettifogging politics. “New York city now has its destiny in its own hands. God and the right have made her superbly victorious. It remains now to avail of victory in the same broad and thorough spirit of uncompromise in which the victory was won. Half measures and half men are an insult to the occasion. I address these sentiments io a body of earnest men who, I know, will echo them. The triumph which has been obtained has been obtained in part at the inspirationgf the years that still He forward of us. A wisdom wiser than that of man has guided our city, and a strength stronger than that of man has been its empowerment. It is harder to use victory than it is to win It; but history is making; the best 2nergies of the best men are enlisted, and faith in God, in ourselves and in one another may safely be trusted to complete the work so auspi- clously begun.” Rev. Dr. St Mayor-elect Strong, Gen. Miles and Controller of the Currency Eck- els also spoke. Controller Eckels’ Remarks. The last speaker.on the lst was Coa- troller of the Currency Eckels, who said in part: “I regret, as I am confident the members of this chamber do, that the Secretary of the Treasury is not present on this occa- sion to discuss governmental finane En- grossed with public duties, confronted by a uation unique in the history of Ameri- can finances, he is undertaking to avow something that will rid him of the embar- rassments which have been his since enter- ing upon the discharge of his official duties and shall free his successors from kindred difficulties. “The Treasury Department is made to play an important part in the business affairs of this country. Yet the Secretary of the Treasury is stripped of the power which should be his, except as it is given to him under a law designed for a very different purpose. “The evil from which this country suf- fers is not so much its defective banking laws as it is that upon the statute books of the United States is a law that compels the Secretary of the Treasury to main- tain a gold reserve to meet the issues of the government which never are presented for final redemptton,and through the opera- tion of that law an uncertainty is created in business circles which is harmful at home and which continually produces dis- trust abroad. “When the Secretary of the Treasury is clothed with a power adequate to the de- mands which are made upon him then each man who is a member of this chamber will not feel that the first thing incum- bent upon him as he rises from his hed, in order to ascertain the business condition: of the country, is whether a thousand dol- lars in gold has come into the country or a thousand dollars in gold has gone out of the country.” 000. DR. PARKHURST ON “BOSSISM.” ‘Thinks Mr. Platt’s Support Should Not Be Sought After, No one in the committee of seventy ot New York city will admit that Mr. Platt meant them in the closing remark of his recent statement concerning politics about self-constituted “committees and ambitious busybodies” who are seeking to “boss” the legislature. But there was one man who is allied with the committee of seventy who regarded it as an attack on that organization, and took up a cudgel in its behalf. This was the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, who sent te an afternoon New York paper the following dispatch from Lakewood, N. J: “Mr. Platt is quoted this morning as saying that he does not want anybody to boss the action of the legislature. “He is handling a matter now in which he can speak with the authority of an expert. “Bossism is a question in which this city feels a deep interest, and it is electrifying to hear it treated by one who is no theo- rist. but an accomplished experimentalist. “He slaps the committee of seventy and says that Mr’ Lexow’s committee will re- sent their interferehce. If Mr. Platt had interfered a little more promptly and had helped whip Tammany, and not postponed his interference until after the victory was gained, and measures had to be adopted for turning the victory to account, we could listen to his homiletical address to Mr. Larocque and his colleagues with more composure. “Personally, I have unqualified confi- dence in the integrity of purpose of Mr. Lexow and his committee, but I know if there is one thing that New York city abhors second to Tammany it Is the pro- fessional boss, and the Lexow committee will strengthen itself in popular favor b: taking means to make it apparent that Mr. Platt holds no brief in their :nterest. “Bi-partisan commissions are to be avoid- ed as far as possible in the reorganization of our city government, not only for other reasons, but because they give political manipulation an opportunity to hatch jeals. “We want a city that shall be admin- istered purely in the intergst of its citi- zenship, and we expect thét Mr. Lexow’s committee ‘will bend every effort to secuce that for us, and we expect that the com- mittee of seventy will bring its wisdom and genius to bear upon the same object. “We hope to have q city government so compact in its purpose of administration that dickers will be relegated to the past, political Punch and Judy become a lost art, and the first duty of a citizen be felt to be to sink and merge himself as far as possible in the aggrandizement of the whole. ; - “Bossism_is distingtly un-American, and now that Tammany*is outlawed we must take hold together and throttle its perilous and mischievous confreres.” Dr. Parkhurst has said many things about Mr, Platt, but never anything quite so sweeping as this. As a general thing Mr. Platt has made no reply to Dr. Park- hurst’s criticisms. He was not ready to depart from this rule last night when the above dispatch was handed to him, and he was asked if he had anything co say. “I think not,” said Mr. Platt. “Do you care to say whom you had in your mind when you spoke of ‘self-con- stituted committees and ambitious busy- bodies?" ” “I really could not say.” “The members of the committee of sev- enty refuse to say that they think you meant them,” ventured a bystander. “Well,” said Mr. Platt, smiling, “if the shoe fits anybody he can put it on. If it does not he need not wear it.” Mr. Platt would not say that he thought the shoe fitted Dr. Parkhurst. BOTH PARTIES SURPRISED Leaders Dazed at the Republican Victory in Maryland. Three Districts to Be Contested Remarkable Fr: Charged—Pos- sible Consoli fon of Democrats, Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., November 20, 184. The politiciana have not yet recovered from the surprising shock caused by the election on Tuesday, the 6th instant. The results in this state were so unexpected to the leaders of both parties that they hard- ly realize yet that it is over and for the first time since the war Maryland has given a popular plurality for the Tepi:bli- can ticket, and above all that, Baltimore city—the very Gibraltar of the democratic party—has really gone republican, and on @ local issue has elected a city council with @ majority of men in it who are not uf the 10ck-ribbed democratic etripe. The repub- licans had no hope of accomplishing any such results, and th®@ democratic managers certainly never expected their opponents to win. Tho quiet voters, who are not poil- ticians, and who rarely ever talk politics, brought it all about. They went out to the polls and voted for the opposition here in Baltimore, just as they did in much greater numbers in New York, in order to enter their protest against the existing misman- agement of affairs and the well-known corruption in municipal polities. The de- feat of a majority cf the democratic or ring cendidates for the council was caused by. the widespread claims“that the ring has lon: m using the covreil for the per- sonal aggrandizement and profit of the leaders, and the defeat of State’s Attorn ——- his ae, for a seat on the bench was caus y the allegation that he has allowed himself to be on in his official capacity to shield viglators of the law who had been useful to ‘the ring dur- ing the past twenty years. People outside of Baltimore, who do not. understand. the situation here, have no idea of the facts, but the truth is that, on a small scale, the moral effect of the victory won at the polla here is hailed as the beginning of an era which will result in reat a triumph as that won by the frie of ‘good municipal government in New York. Democrats and republicans alike consider it but the be- ginning of the end, which will place the af- fairs of the city in the hands of officials who will attend to the business of the municipal corporation in a manner that will canton: t she, Public interest rather than 2 interest of a c inalviduais lose corporation of @ republicans are more surprised the democrats, and their surprise wg ns creased rather than diminished as the days have passed since the election and t! are able to see how easy it would have been for them to have carried every congres- sional district in the state and sent six in- stead of three republicans to Washington. The candidates who were defeated in tha first, third and fourth districts have des cided to contest the election of their suc- cessful competitors, and ever since election day have been making investigations into the manner in which the election was cers ried, and they report that they are discov- ering frauds in the registration and frauds of all sorts, especially in the use of repeat- ers, in the wards in the city in which the largest democratic majorities were polled. They have also discovered, they say, that’ voters were bribed by the wholesale in the fourth district. The inquiry into the causes which gava the democrats their small majorities in thé third and fourth districts show, apparent ly, that not only was repeating done bj the wholesale, but also that bribery w: practiced on all sides and by both parti mainly, however, in the interest of th democrats, for the republicans had very little money to spend. people geners ally have known for years that electiong were carried in the way indicated, but n systematic investigation has ever bef — place. If beens details of the report are ever ublic—and the; probably will be—they il afford S| in practical and unscrupulous politics which will give points even to the shrewd manipue lators of Philadelphia and New York. It is reported that Senator Gorman, Gov. Brown and Mr. I. Freeman Rasin have made up their differences, have agreed t bury the hatchet and work together during the next campaign. These prominent leads ers are said to have realized that the only chance for the democratic to wiz. next year is for all to worl in harmony, instead of permitting a continua tion of the factional contests, which werd fast disorganizing the democracy of Mary land. They had a meeting in‘ New Yor! city on Thursday and “kissed and mad up.” What the details of the deal are has not yet become known, but that the doal has been made is an accepted fact. — ees HUNDREDS PERISH.
