REWARDS FOR PARTISAN SERVICES Effect on Business of the Clerks’ Fear of Dismissal. _ ALARMED BY THE PROSPECT — AW: ton special in the Baltimore Sun of today says: A phase of the campaign that is attract- ing more attention in Washington than al- most any other is the threat made by the silverites to repeal the civil service law and aismiss all the present employes of the gov- ernment in order to make room for some of the followers of Mr. Bryan who desire re- munerative employment. This is what Mr. Bry alls giving the people their own. It is, however, the advocacy of the old spoils em, carried to a greater extreme than ever before known. Being practically without a campaign fund, Mr. Bryan holds out the promise of to those who serve him and assist in his e He that he has not promised an of- fice to any one, and that he will be abso- lutely free from embarr it in the ad- gov but of the cians who are endeavor. fashion of their own inye the sii sentiment, the s ; net one who has not in mind the nd fishes which Mr. Bryan will have ite in the event of hi: ion and serv! ril repeal of the civil pect Dismissal. on which this would the various depari- 3 and its demoralizing influence on tne Voter, the employes of the government, many of whom have given the best y of foresee dismissal Mr. Bryan's triumph. all reports con- government clerks tful if there e from the conf in the work of of of Mr. Bryan's t ign opened, and jidate had given his attention to any other plank in his platform than that d = for free coinage, many of the lerks here began to “talk sil- Gryan himself who frst them y the assurance that, if . he should insist upon having their r to reward his hungry fol- lower speech he made in this city little more than two wee oT py 1 almost entire: yan dwelt at some length upon the rvice law, an red that its only had been’ to c - an officeholding whose Interests are opposed to the interests of the great mass of citizens.

M@n who formerly rented comfortable houses for themselves and their families are giving them up and crowding into furnished rooms, where they think eve they can I more cheaply, and ‘¥ man among them who has a family to support is hoping that Bryan will be defeated and McKinley elected. A Matter of Public Concern, Since the civil service law was passed and the spoils system abolished the people of the country generally have thought little about the clerks who perform the routine work of the government. But the opera- tion of the old spoils system is still well nbered, and those who realize how corruption resulted, how the money tax pa asted in order that members of Congress might reward their poiitic and ward-workers, must Teel that rehension of the clerks ing their own welfare should not be the apprehension of the public ing the future administration of the roment if the officers are once more to «1 #8 capital with which to pay the ses cf the campaign. eturn to the Is system would be " to the business of Washington. Credit would be absolutely destroyed, while t upon the efficiency of the public - in all its branches would be most rous. Yet there is no doubt of the in- of the silver men to restore the ndition of affairs if they get an op- y. A prominent government offi- who is within the classified service, me of the democratic leaders if it true that Mr. Bryan contemplated a clean sweep of the departments the event of his election. ler are warm personal friends, the latter replied somewhat regret: I am afraid that is Mr. Bryan's intention.” Could Not Resist the Pressure. “I do not know,” he continued, “that he centemplates the dismissal of all govern- iment employes, but I feel satisfied that if in ‘The official and the he is elected and the civil service law is re- pealed, the pressure for office will be so great that neither the members of Con- gress nor Mr. Bryan himself will be able to Stand against it. I therefore anticipate an entire change in the personnel of the gov- ernment’s force of clerks if Mr. Bryan is elected. Frankly,” meluded this gentle- men, should advise all government clerks who wish to retain their positions to squeeze for the succe of the republl- cans.” ‘There is, of course, a great deal of doubt whether Mr. Bryan could secure the re peal of the civil service law even if elected Pres- igent and with a silver majority in the House of Representatives. If the republi- cans lose the House—a contingency hardly considered by the campaign maiagers at the present time—they would still be a very considerable body. Then there are the older men among the democrats, who have seen and understood the benefits whigh the country has derived from civil service re- form, and who would doubtless vuppose tre repeal of the law. The new men, who ex- pect to ride into office on the wave of Mr. Bryan's popularity, would, of course, be willing to follow him in any couraze, no mat- ter how extreme or til-advised. So far as the Senate is concerned, it is probable that a@ majority in that body would combine, un- der the leadership of Senator Gorman, to restore the spoils system. ——-oo—__ Ran Awny With a Rall Player.

Archbishop Keane, the retiring rector of the Catholic University, left yesterday afternoon for the Pacific coast in search of rest. He expects to spend some time at San Jose, Cal. During the interval that must elapse before the election of his suc- cessor Very Rev. Dr. P. J. Garrigan, the vice rector, will be the acting head of the institution, under Cardinal Gibbons, the chancellor. Although Archbishop Keane, in his let- ter to the pope formally tendering his resignation, declined an archiepiscopal see in this country he could not decline the honorary title and his assignment to a titular see. It is supposed that the dbzu- ments in the case have already been sent from Rome, so that he is to all inteats and purposes an archbishop. The Leave-Taking. Archbishop Keane took his formal leave of the university yesterday. Mass was celebrated by Dr. Garrigan and at its con- clusion the archbishop made a brief ad- dress to the feculty and studenis, which was substantially the same as his state- ment that was published in Tne Star yes- terday. Cardinal Gibbons was present, and seemed deeply moved by the incident. He made an eloquent and touching reply, in the course of which he said: “We read much about obedience and sub- mission. They are things easter to preach than to practice. This one example is bet- ter than a hundred books on the same sub- ject. I always admired his marvelous ac- tivity, preaching in halls and churches, here today and tomorrow on the Pacific coast, utterly unsraring of himself, and losing himself completely in his labors for the university. Oftentimes I was afraid that he would eventually break down. “You may have many rectors, whose names will be brilliant in the annals of the university, but never will you have one more notable for z: all, for absolute di; denial than John Joseph Kean ‘The vice rector and faculty then repaired to the parlors of Divinity Hall, where they drew up resolutions which were presented to the archbishop a committee consist- ing of Very Rev. Chas. P. Grannan, dean of the ulty of the Divinity College; Prof. Wiliam C. Robinson, dean of the faculty of social sciences, and Prof. Edward L. Greene, vice dean of the faculty of philos- ophy. , devotion and, above nterestedness and self- Resolutions, The resolutions contain a suitable pre- amble and then continue as follows: “That the professors and instructors of the university, in meeting assembled, do hereby express their deep and sincere re- gret at parting with one who has for so many years been to them, not only a fatherly guide, but a source of inspiration and encouragement. They hereby bear witness to the cordial personal relations which have alway ed between them and Bishop Keane as the head of the teach- ing body and the chief member of the ad- stration of the university. They look pack with pride and satisfaction upon the sreat work he has accomplished in the material upbuilding of its schocis, the or- | Sinizaticn of studies, and the spread of a lively interes the idea and the work of the university. They recall with gratitude his many journeys, the number of his suc- cessful personal appeals for the means of developnient, and the devotion which his eloquence everywhere aroused for the cause of higher education. “Remembering all this, they come togeth- er on the eve of his departure, to offer him the assurance of their unalterable affection, of their prayers for his welfare, and of their determination to work unitedly and perseveringly for the great object io which he “has consecrated so large a portion of is life. — THE PUBLIC LANDS. Facts From the Annanl Report of mamas: oner Lamoreux. Commissioner Lamoreux of the general land office has made his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior for the past fiscal year. The total land selections dur- ing the year were 15 acres, of which 4,830,915 were homestead entries and 6,7 591 railroad selections. The increase in se- lections over the previous year was 4,80: ipts were 561, an increase of Lands patented to railroads in satisfaction of grants were 15, 4 acres, an increase of 7,313,508 acres over last year; agricultural patents 5,470,400, a deci 28.480 acres. The total number of acres patented was 22,660,- 0, The total vacant public land in the United States is GH of which 316,651,861 are sury 88,810 un- surveyed. The amount of land surveyed during the year was 8,918,808 acres. Considerable attention has been given during the year to correct surveying, and in nearly every public land state resurv have been orderéd upon reports of the ex- aminers. Commissioner Lamoreux makes the following recommendation: That appropriations for surveys and re- surveys of public lands be made continu- ous; that laws be passed creating the office of surveyor general of Alaska; establish- ing a national irrigation commission; for the compulsory attendance of witnesses at hearings in contests before the district land officers; for the protection of timber on public forest reservations; to regulate the use,of timber on public lands not embraced within forest reservations, and for the pro- tection of timbers and other growth on the public domain from destruction by fire. Nearly all the legislation recommended is now pending in Congr The report con- tains a review of the entire work of the general land office, together with the effect of past legisiacion and cecisions of the Supreme Court on land cases. o+____ POST OFFICE BOOKKEEPING. The Anditor’s Report Shows De- crensed Annaunl Deficit of $1,070,956. The annual report of Sixth Auditor Howard for the fiscal year ended June 30, 18%, affords the following condensed state- ment of the finances of the Post Office De- partment for the year: ‘The total revenue for the year was $82,- 499,208, an increase of $5,516,080 over the previous year; the total expenditures, $00,- 626,296, an increase of $3,936,124 over the expenditures of the previous year. The excess of expenditures over receipts was $5,127,088. This was a decrease in the an- nual deficit of $1,679,956 as compared with the previous year. During the year 11,794 postmasters were retired by death, resig- nation or removal. Their accounts have all been finally audited, and their total bal- ances, or the amount due from them to the government, aggregate $47,723. A large part of this sum will be collected without sult before the close of the present cal- endar year. ‘The amount due for the fiscal year from delinquent contractors and fail- Ing bidders was $8,202. The total outstand- Ing indebtedness due the department at the beginning of the past fiscal year, July 1, 1895, from late postmasters and failing bidders and contractors was $868,070. Of this indebtedness suits have been instituted for $662,940. There is otherwise in process of collection $52,351. During the year there was collected of this indebtedness $152,779. This is the first time in the history of the Post Office Department that the accounts of all postmasters retired from office dur- ing the fiscal year have been finally audited and the amount of their balances stated in the auditor's annual report for that year. No such report could have heretofore been made for the reason that the work of the auditor's office until recently was several years In arrears. ii The number of domestic money orders is- sued during the year was 24,947,852. The number paid was 24,140,348. The aggregate of monsy received and paid out by post- masters on these orders amounted to the sum of $36%,040,831. The net revenue de- rived from money order business was $886,- 185. ——— Sufferers from the hurricane in Florida are said to be without food or shelter, and appeals will be sent out to the people of the United States. MORE THAN 15 PER CENT This is the Proportion of People Who Are Suffering From Dyspepsia. “I am told," says » writer in the New York World, “thet more than 75 per sent of the people in these United States are afiiicted with dyspepsia and otler stomach troubles.” If that fs the case then the other 25 per cent ought to be exceedingly happy, for a more miser- able being than a dyspeptle it 1s hard to find. Dys- peptic men and womea get little enjoyment out of life becutse they are always feeling blue and despondent. Stomach troubles mak+ people have tired feelings, miserable, dragged-out sensations, and break down the whole system. Now, if you are a dyspeptic or are afflicted with stcemach troubles, do not imagine there is no hope for you. There 1s a way to regain hult, strength, vitality and good digection. Here are some inter- esting opinions on this important subject: Mrs. Eveline Tarlton, 345 Park avenue, Cin- clunati, Obio, skys: “I had dyspepsia for 14 or 15 years and was entirely cured by taking Duffy's pure malt whiskey.

President Milford Spohn presided, A letter from President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor was read and placed on file. The letter said: “During the vacation season, when gen- eral business. reduced in volume, and when the season’s charge was such that extra work was impossible, a rest was had. At the present time an improvement is noticeable and the good work should be re- newed. Especially would we remind you that the political agitation which is about us should not be allowed to interfere with the work of organizing, for no matter what element may gain the ascendant, and no watter what the conditions which may fol- lew, the workers will have to fight for their share. “Be it remembered at all times that the proceeds of all effort, the sum total of Produgtion, is at first hand at the disposal of th® employer, so-called, and that the ratural tendency of the employer is to buy in the cheapest market and therefore: to pay as low wages as possible. Even should he desire, on general humane principles, to give to labor what is commonty called fair treatment, a decent living wage, he 1s pre- vented from doing so, excepting in special cases, by the commercialism which pre- vails; he does as others do. The ‘captains of industry’ fight for a market between themselves in the same manner as the workers seek employment. The ‘fighting ground’ of hoth is limited by the tron grasp of monopoly on all sides, which takes the cream of that which all classes of labor produce.” The legislative committee repor’ed that the statement of the pavers that laborers were employed to do paving oy the Dis- trict government at levs wages than the union scale was bronght to the attentioa of the Commissioners, but that as yet no answer had been received. ‘The nmittee is waiting a reply to charges made by the Pavers’ Union, when the matter will be further considered by the central body. The delegates from Brewery Workers’ Union, No. 11s, reported that several weeks ago they had communicated with Mr, Leon Tobriner asking a conference with the brewers, for the purpose of adjusting trade relatiens, but had received no answer to their request. The matter was referred by the brewery workers to the Central Union and the secretary of the body was directed ty request ihe brewers, through Mr. To- briner, to meet in conference a committee of the brewery workers and thus recognize them as a legitimate trade body, affiliated with the Central Labor Union. The barbers reported that their organiza- tion at their last meeting had placed four shops cn the unfair list, and asked the indcrsement of the central body. he mat- ter was referred to the grievance commit- tee, which will report at the next meeting, and if the barbers’ grievance cannot be satisfactorily usted the action of Bar- ’ Union will be indorsed and the shops be formally placed on the “unfair” er reported that the Re- Proiective Association n of being char- ican Federation of La- ber ard being represented in the Central Labor Union at their meeting next Wed- nesday evening.

Delegates from Brewery Workers’ Union, No. 118, were admitted and obligated. a Personalities in Georgia. The heated state campaign in Georgia has led to a personal controversy between Steve Clay, the democratic state chairman, and John D. Cunningham, chairman of the populist executive committee. In a speech at Winder Saturday Clay made a severe at- tack upon Cunningham's personal charac- ter, quoting at length from a weekly paper published at Douglasville. That paper charged Cunningham with drinking more whisky than water, and with playing poker. It further said that Cunningham lost $1,500, gave his note for the amount for it and afterward refused to pay it, and turned state’s evidence against other parties to the game. It charged also that Cunning- ham stabbed a man in the back on account of a woman. Clay denounced Cunningham's campaign methods, and made a scathing arrraign- ment of his conduct in connection with the circular agitation. Yesterday Cunningham replied with a card in the Journal, admitting the poker game, but stating the circumstances very differently. He concluded by denouncing Clay as a “common liar and a coward.” ——<+o+___ The Center of Population. From the St. Louls Republic. In caleulating the location of the center of population of our country the census officials consider the whole face of the nited States as being a plain surface, it- self without weight, but capable of sus- taining weight. In making this calcula- tion they consider the country as being leveled with its inhabitants in number and Fesition as they are found, each individual being asumed to be of equal weight, and, consequently, to exert pressure on the pivotal point directly proportionate to his distance therefrom. The pivotal point is now, or was in 1800, at a place twenty miles east of Columbus, Ind. Geographi- cally the center of population in 1890 was at a place which would be said to be in north latitude 39° 11’ 9”, west longitude 85° 32’ 9”. In 1790, at the time of taking the first census, the center of population was at a spot twenty-three miles east of Baltimore, Md. During the 100 years that have elapsed between that time and the time of the taking of the census of 1890, the center of population moved westward ex- actly 505% miles. tail Oil would consider the an Dealers’ tered by the A’ ———_eee. “Qh, Don’t Mention It.” From the New York Tribune, There is a little girl in Columbus, Ohio, whose mother is in the habit of using the phrase “Oh, don’t mention it!” when any one apologizes to her.
