So Says Congressman Frank M. Eddy of the Civil Service Law. Judging by the reports that reach us, and nowand then of the kicks that the Republican congressmen are registering aga‘nst the civil service rules, we conclude that they are not entirely satisfactory to the powers that be. Possibly tbe fact that the acts placing a majority of the em= ployes of the government in a tenure- for-life position. went into effect while we bad 3 Dsmocratic presi- dentanod as 3 watoral consequence a Jarge bumber @f the government servants are of the Democratic faith, but aside from that. congressmen, who we bave every. reason to, believe are stncere 40 thelr utterances aod honest In their coavictions, denounce the law as being far from. perfect. During the present month the Min- neapolis Board af Trade passed a r olution requesting the Minnesota sen- | government with deadwood and inef- | they are uow rece ators and representatives to try and balk all attempts that were being made to ‘‘Reduce, if not entirely de- stroy, the usefulness of the civil service.” he request brought fourth the following frem Congressman Eddy, and the language of the letter leaves no doubt as to that gentlemen’s views on the subject: “Washington, D. C., Dec. 31, ’97. “J.T. Hemphill, Sec. Board of Trade, “Minneapolis, Minn. “Dear Sir: Lamin receipt of the resolutions passed by the Minneapo- lis Board of Trade at the recent ses- sion, and in reply would say: “That I know of no effort that is being made or is intended to be made to ‘reduce, if not entirely destroy, the usefulness of the present civil service law.’ I will further say, in my opin- jon the only thing in the civil service law in its present or past administra- tion is the pretended recognition of ‘merit.’ Iam: thoroughly convinced in my mind that a very large majori- ty of those who are such enthusiastic advocates of the present haw have no knowledge of the ‘inside’ workings of the same. If they bad their opinions would be very greatly modified, if not entirely changed... As a matter of fact, tbe provisions are daily violated und vet uside by senators and con- gressmep who are chairmeD -of im- portant committees, who have a ‘pull’ with the powers that be, and jt is used by them to protect their friends already $n, official positions, and pro- vide places fur others whow they de- sire to reward; that it discrimiua Dn the most palpable manner agai udi.iduajs aud localities; that it has incumbered the civil service of ‘the ficients; and the same should be radi- cally modified along the lines of jus- tice, merit and equality. “Very truly yours, FRANK M. Eppy. Has a Good Recommend. Mr. C. L Burnett, of Peoria, Ill., whom I have engaged to take charge of the repairing department during my absence, I can recommend to our patrons as oneof the best watch- makers in the United States. He is a graduate of Parson's Watchmakers Schoul, at which place be made three watches by hand, (two ladies’, one gent’s), which is the best recommend a workman can have. We have taken extra pains to pro- cure the best workman possible, and it isour intention to give as good ser- vice and satisfaction as can be had in the state. We have every facility for doing goud work, and solicit your pat- ronage. Weclaim to be the only watch- makers in Grand Rapids and the only workmen who understand how; and are able to make any part of any watch. Giveusa call. NISBELT JEWELRY CO. Win Nissetr, Mgr. Scoring a Success. When Messrs. Broeker and Whitea- ker formed aco-partuership apout a year ago, for the manufacture of tine clothing, they started in in a very unassuming way, but their work has given such universal satisfaction that gy ubeir reward | | for having given their customers val- ue received. They are both experi- enced workmen and expert cutters, and, as they give their personal atten- tion to the business at all times they are in a position to fulfill all their promises. ry They carry an elegant line of sam- ples in Scotch, English and French importations and can take orders and maunfacture suits at as close a mar- gion as any manufacture in this part of the country. All work tarned out by them is warranted as to fit and workmanship, and they take special pride in. making their customers their constant: pat- rons. Their prices are lower than their competitors for the same quali- ty of goods, and it will pay the read- ers of the Herald-Review to call and inspect samples and get prices.
