The Chairman of the Joint Oommitteo Answers Reoght Statements 7 Public Printer Benedict Defended— Political Complexion of the Office : —The Merit System. —L_ ‘fo the Editor of The Evening Star: A communication in The Star of Monday evening, over the signature of John L. Kennedy, an ex-employe of the government printing office, contained an attack upon the public printer, cast reflections upon his employes, and libeled* those who have been chosen by their respective trades unions ta urge the extension of civil service to that office. I-would pay no attention to the writer were it not that the committee of which I have the honor to be chairman feels that it has been misrepresented, and has requested me to reply. "There is undoubtedly a large class of cit- izens unfamiliar with the duties and exac- tions of departmental business who oppose civil service methods on the ground that an administration responsible for the’ 1a- tion’s affairs should be vested with abso- Iute control in the matter of appointing subordinates. The Star has been foremost in its efforts toward convincing this sort of opposition, and has doubtless, through its able editorials and complete review of civil service reform, converted many. ‘The fact that every branch of the public ser- vice, with the exception of the government printing office, has been put under civil ser- vice law by the acts‘of both republican and democratic Presidents, and its operations have conduced to put the departments on a business footing, and have rewarded indi- vidual merit, is well known. It gives every citizen an opportunity to enter public em- ploy upon his merits, and protects the worthy employe in his place; removing all temptation toward debasing political inde- pendence by removing the necessity of a man becoming disloyal to party connections in order to retain a place which his ability and merit entitle him to. The writer of Mcnday’s article, by his language and conduct, places himself at the head of another class of people who villfy and abuse all who stand for honest civil service reform. In reference to the speech of Mr. Benedict tefore the civil service commission the writer of Monday's article quoted just enough to serve his purpose. Why didn’t he quote the whole of it, so that your read- ers could see all that was said? As a union printer, I and every. member of the committee felt honored by that speech and at the high compliments paid by the public printer to their respective trades. Has Mr. Benedict discharged 1,300 people since his return to the office of public print- er? Has he applied the spoilsman’s meth- ods to that office? We know that almost immediately upon assuming office the sec- ond time he adopted a system by which desirable employes *are retained, feel se- cure in their positions and are promoted as they appear to deserve. Reckoned in figures, I find that of the present force em- ployed 27 per cent were appointed by Mr. Benedict, 53 per cent by Mr. Palmer and 2) per cent by their predecissors. Twenty- seven per cent out of a total force of 2,100 people, with the natural and necessary expansion of the force during the last congresstonal session, still further reducing this percentage, doesn’t, in my opinion, stamp the present puBlic printer as a “spoilsman.”” All thé foremen, with but two exceptions, ary, gppointees of either Palmer, Row om. farmer republicans; 1,300 of the 2,600) subordinates are Mr. Palmer’s appointees, 700 only being Mr. Benedict's, and fotir-fifths of all have asked for civil seryice.. Kennedy and his followers time acg again pressed Mr. Palmer to apply ciyil service. ‘The writer of Monday's article says: “Benedict is not a jiractical printer! Twice confirmed by Senators differing with him politically, possessing abfiity that enables him to personally supervise the work of the government printing oilice in detail (sometning never before undertaken by a public printer), intredifing all the medern methods and applidttces of the craft, an} personally inventirig a system for the various composing ‘rooms that the Inter- onal Typographical, Union at its last n unanimously .approved and com- nded to the craft-generaliy, he can af- ford to pass unnoticed a statement of this kind. The writer says that Mr. Benedict never held an office that was not made vacant by some republican being put out. This is true. He was appointed to the office of deputy controller of New York to fili a vacancy by death, also to the office of secretary of state succeeding 2 at. and he was also elected four to the legislature by increased ma- jorities, and has twice been called to the office of public printer, first, to succeed Mr. Rounds after that gentleman had re- igned, an appointment indorsed by all the New York typographical unions, and, sec- to succeed Mr. Palmer. F can see rathing in this record to corstitute Mr. Benedict a spolisman, nor to show lack of confidence in his efticiency and competency for public trusts. In reterence to the statement that 99 out of every 10% persons employed in the office today are there by virtue of political in- fluence, it ‘s as ‘false as it is ridiculous. While f admit that ever since its founda: tion political infiuence has dominated pos!- tions in the government printing cffice, we all know and ere thankful that it has never reached the above figures. There is at least 25 per cent of the force which is never disturbed. ‘There are certain em- ployes whose skill and workmanship are of the highest order, and whose merit and valuable services, outside of any political influence, are sufficient to retain them in their positions. Mr. Kennedy says that the movement now on foot to put the office under civil service rules is a ‘distinct spoilsman’s” move; that the scheme originated with Mr. Benedict, and that the work Is now being carried “out by his democratic spofismen. Is the present agitation of civil service by the employes of the government printing office new? Did Mr. Benedict conceive it? Did democratic spoilsmen, as we are called, first agitate it? Not by any means. The question of extending cfvil service to the government printing office was advocated three ycars ago. The agitation was carried cn from 1892, and reached a degree of anx- lety painfully noticeabfe after Mr. Harri- son's defeat, becau > it was feared that Mr. Cleveland would reverse the policy of his first administration, appoint a public printer immediately after his ¢nauguration and imitate his predecessor by discharging all those opposed to his administration. They had reason to believe this. Mr. Bene- dict and all his friends had been treated with every indignity possible, and a possessed the souls of the guilty. then begged for civil service protection, but Mr. Harrison could not be moved. No one knows better than Mr. Kennedy that this agitation of civil service was not conceived by the present public printer, and is not conducted at present by demo- cratic spoilsmen. To that statement, there- fore, on behalf of the joint committee, com- posed of members of bath parties, but en- tirely free from any political coloring, I re- ply that it is an imputation, unwarranted and unfounded. tae In regard to the dustruction of Columbia Union by the extension ,of civil service to the government printing office, I can per- ceive no danger. The Writer says If civil service is applied “np werking card will be necessary.” Is a man’s: unionism measur- ed solely by his working card? Does the great underlying principe of “the greatest good to the greatest number” find no re- sponsive feeling inj the hearts of union men? Is our unionism dominated by force and fear, and haveiweimo higher concep- tion of union principles than is found with- in the borders of a, warking card? 1 be- Heve we have, and th tHat belief, with the majority of my fellow,craftsmen, I feel that we need not worry as to the destiny of Columbia Union..2 7% In conclusion I dedire*to say that as re- gards the political dpmplexion of the pres- ent force in the government printing office there can be found fully as many republi- cans as democrats, and that force by an overwhelming majority, and with the ex- ception of a single trade, has indorsed the extension of civil service. We believe that fatthfulness and efficiency should count in the important branch of the service in which we are employed, as well as in all other departments of the government, and with these motives, which we submit as honorable and commendable, we hope for the success of the work which we have in hand.

Pitcher Cunningham Says That Louis- ville is Jonahed. “Bert” Cunningham, the twirler of the Colonels, says that the reason the Louis- ville club does not win more games is that the town is “Jonahed.” Says he: “We have been playing first-class ball, and hitting as hard as any club in the league, but Old Hard Luck 1s always playing against us. Lucid, now with the Brooklyns, a former pitcher of ours, played against us in Louts- ville a few days ago. The way we hit him was a sin, but wherever the ball was hit Old Hard Luck and a Brooklyn player were in front of it. “Another hard thing we have to go against is the Louisville crowds—if you might call them such. They come to the grounds for the purpose of ‘guying’ the club, and the newspapers are continually roasting us. A ball player's life is a hard one in Louisville. Manager McCloskey is a great favorite with the players. Everybody likes him, and he fs a hard worker. “We are going to make a spurt that will surprise the whole base ball community, and I advise ‘rooters’ not to bet that Louis- ville will carry off the tail-end honors.” Saturday's League Games.

All the eastern clubs won except New York, the "Giants" being disastrously defated by the St. Louis Browns. Philadelphia’s vie- tory over Chicago, and the defeat of the other leaders put the Quakers into second place, while the Champion “Orioles” moved up to third. Cincinnati holds fourth place by the narrow margin of five points and Cleveland is fifth, five points in front of Chicago and Boston. z Esper was booked to pitch against Cleve- land on Saturday, but he neither reported at the grounds nor notified Manager Han- lon of his whereabouts. He was given per- mission last week to go to Philadelphia to bring his wife to Baltimore, but he was ordered to return Friday night. Washington had an easy thing with Louisville on Saturday. Luby was batted hard and often, while Maul and Malarkey were fairly effective. Saturday's game between Brooklyn and Pittsburg was protested by Pittsburg. In the first half of the third inning the con- pped by rain, with Donovan When play was resumed back to second without first touching first base. Griffin ran in and tag- «ed him with the ball, claiming that he should have touched first b: Umpire Murray sustained Griffin. The game was played out and Brooklyn won with ease. Pitcher Meekin protested against being put in on Saturday, but Manager Davis would not listen to him. Meckin only lob- bed.the balis up, and St. Louis hit him for y-nine, with a total of forty-three Sam Thompson never causes the umpire y trouble. Sam has never been fined e he started to play ball. Sneeden, who umpired in Washington Saturday, was recommended to President Young by Umpire Betts. He umpired the game at Geor; ‘ellege and did well. Connor, “good old Reger,” they call him in New York, recei a royal welcome on jaturday, Out of seven times at the bat he made six hits and got one base on balls.

Annual Tournament of the Minois Sportsmen Association. CHICAGO, June 3.—The twenty-first an- nual tournament of the Illinois Sportsmen Association began in this city this morning. The tournament has brougat together near- ly all the best pigeon and target shots of the state, and in addition to these nota- bles from other states will attend and par- ticipate in the open shoots. ‘The first event on the program, which will occupy almost all the present week, is the contest for the board of the De Diamond badge, emblematic of the individual cham- pionship of Hlinois. This trophy ts one of the most valuable open to marksmen in the world. Besides this there are a number of other prizes. ‘Among the noted crack shots already here are: C. W. Budd of Des Moines, Iowa; C. M. Grimm of Clear Lake, Iowa; F. S. Parmlee and J. C. Read of Omaha; J. A. R. Elliott of Kansas City; A. G. Courtney of Syracuse, N. ¥.; J. H. Keller and W.

Still others are ex- pected to get in from meetings recently held at Knoxville and Memphis, Tenn., and Urbana, Ohio, BEATEN AT POLO. ‘The Chevy Chase Team Too Much for Troop A. The game of polo, which was postponed from the week before, was played off Sat- urday afternoon between a team from troop A, from Fort Myer, and the Chevy Chase team. Notwithstanding the intense heat, there was a large audience on hand to watch the sport, and the good plays which abounded were generously applauded. The treopers put up a first-class game, but,their horses were too heavy, and they were not quite so handy with the mallet as were their opponents. They were beaten by a sccre of three goals to one, which, with the Boal scored the preceding Saturday, made 4 te Lin favor of the Chevy Chase players. Owing to the intense heat the game, which had been set for 4:30, was not called till an heur later. Mr. Clarence Edwards acted as referee, and Mr. Clarence Moore as time- keeper. Owing t6 the injury of Curran in the first game, only three men were played on 3 side, the Chevy Chase team being H. M. Earle, Lewis Earle and David Porter, the troop A team being Lieuts. Short, : and Davie. Disgusted With the Browns. This ts the way one of the St. Louis papers speaks of the Browns: “The hopeless, help- less, headless ‘Done Browns’ are in the east. The local cranks are dead willing that they stay there. St. Louis has no pride in them and disowns a gang of stiffs, who bring discredit and disgrace upon a city pre-eminent in the financial and busi- 88 world and prominent in all other de- partments of spoy except base ball. Man- ager Buckenberger 1s not responsible for the inferior team which Chris foisted on him. The great manager was not engaged until it was too late to get talent. The peo- ple krow that Chris cares nothing for St. Louis. He is out for the stuff. His record shows that he will wreck his club for a few thousand dollars. It is only a question of a month or two when Brelitenstein and Peitz will be sold. Chris will convert them into cash and give the people the laugh. The misfits will do well to win five games on the eastern trip.” Good Words for Glasscock. A Louisville correspongent of the Sport- ing News disposes of the story that Glass- cock, who has been signed to play here, is a “has been,” as follows: “It ts to be re- gretted that we have lost Jack, as he was playing as fine a game as he ever did in his life, and was hitting the ball hard.” Manager McCloskey also denies that any- thing is the matter with Glasscock’s play- ing. He says that the trouble is a differ- ence between Glasscock and one of the club directors. This is all good news to Wash- ington patrons. Jubilee Regatta at Harwich. HARWICH, England, June 3.—The jubilee regatta opened here today with beautiful weather and a light wind. Mr. Howard Gould’s Niagara, Lord Dudiey’s Inyoni, Mr. F. B. Jameson's Luna, Lord Dunray- ens Audrey, Prince Batthyany-Strattman’s Stephanie and Mimosa started in the race for the twenty-raters at 10:30 a.m. Mr. A. B. Walker's Allsa and the Prince of Wales’ Britannia, the latter “with the Prince of Wales on board, started at 10 am. in the race for yachts of over forty tons. The course was thirty-seven miles long. Britannia having the windward po- sition crossed the line forty seconds ahead of Ailsa. Britannia rounded the sunk light, after having sailed over about two-thirds of the course, at 1 hour and 57 minutes. Ailsa was then half a mile astern. Britan- nia crossed the finish line a winner two and a half minutes ahead of Allsa. Inyoni carried away her spinnaker boom while reaching the Cork lightship. Ni- agara and Stephanie had a hard struggle for second place. Eventually Audrey won, with Niagara second. The yachts finished in a squall, amid much excitement, Audrey winning by four seconds only. ee TWO Boys Lost. Police Searching for Some Dissapear- ing Youngster: Nothing has yet been heard of the two boys, Charles A. Lee and James Hall, who di:appeared from the homes of. their parents, in Southeast Washington, Deco- ration day, and the parents of the boys are extremely anxious concerning them. The Les boy is a son of W. S. Lee, a builder, who lives at 219 12th street, while James Hall’s father, J. H. Hall, a mechanic, lives at 1206 C street, only a short distance from where the Lees live. The boys are about ten years oid, and have been playmates for some tire. They were to have taken part in a Sunday school procession on Decora- tion day, but did not do so, for the reason that they were not at home about the time the procession was going to move. About 7 o’clock in the morning “Jimmie” Hall went around to sce his companion, who was at breakfast, and after break- fast the lads left the house and went out to play. They were barefooted and were wearing their old clothing, and went away without saying a word to their parents. Whether they went out to go fishing, swimming or to follow the parade, or whether they had a desire to go tramping is not kaown. Whatever was their inten- tion they did not leave the city as soon as they went away from home, for Mrs. Eise- man, a friend of the families, saw them in the Eastern market about 10 o'clock. So far as is known the boys had no money, and if they have left the city they either tramped over the roads or beat their way on_a freight train. When the boys failed to return home Thursday evening it was supposed that they had followed the procession and lost their way, but when they did not return curing the night their parents became alarmed, and yesterday the police were given descriptions of the missing boys. Word of the boys’ disappearance has been sent to the police of other cities, together with their descriptions. —<—__ Catholic University.

CARDINE iistte cr ms o HEART OF THE OX. A prominent medical practitioner recently sai® that during the last fifteen years be has noted na less than seventy-three cases of deaths of elderly, persons resulting from running after street cars. No elderly person should ever run or exercise with unusual violence. ‘Those doing so take their lives in their hands, since no one can tell the exact con- dition of the walls of the heart. When past fifty, years of age the cardiac structure is Mable to give Way any hour by reason of unusual exertion. ‘The trouble is that the walls of the heart become fri- able and subject to rupture with age. The care tilagenous structure especially approximates ossl- fication, and even the purely muscular cardial fiber loses much of its elasticity as old age creeps om. Cardine, the extract of the heart of the ox, retards this decay of the tissues of the human heart and strengthens and makes elastic again the walls of this vital organ. It has never failed to strengthen & weak heart, to correct irregular action and fune- tlonal derangement caused by excessive use of to- baceo, dyspepsia, nervous prostration and general debility. An impoverished condition of the blood is cured, and dropsy, as well as Bright's disease of the kidneys, ts alleviated by this organte extraet. CARDINE is the sterilized extract of the heart of the ox, and one of the famous Animal Extracts Prepared under the formula of Dr. Wm. A. Hammond. It contains the substance, both nervous and «mus cular, required by the HUMAN heart for its nutrt- ton and normal action, It exerts its influence within a few minutes after admivistration. Its use strpngthens the pulse apd lessens its frequency in those eases in which the heart's ac- tion is feeble and frequent, causes the disappear ance of intermissions and other irregularities in the strength and force of the heart-beat, and mate- ~ rlally increases the blood pressure so that it acts upon the kidueys as a diuretic.
