They will “say, “‘oh, yes the imp ment has been woi- derful,” but that is all the answer you will got from them; as to evidence of it they nre dumb. ¢ designs to jgnore and set aside senators and mem- bers in making appointments to oth Clevelnnd has earried this purposc part, and never, since president took office, have so many ex-penitentiary convicts and in- dicted persons been appoited to fede offices as have been appointed by the presont president. He has o DUG UI' MORE FRAUDS 11 more unfit i and has been obliged to re appointments in the last seven months than woere ever known under the four precoding administrations. The expla- nation of this fact is just this, ho has dis- regarded the advice of S mombers; ho said in his letter to Eaton, acce s resignation as chief of the civil service commission, ‘“they impudently stand between the offics ani the people " Thold itto be utterly im- pssiblo for the president and hoads of epurtments to make appointments intel- ligently and understandingly without consulting senators and members from the states and districts in which the ap- pheants live. They stand in closer rola- . tions to and are.more direatly tho vepr sentatives of the people than any othe ersons; and they can be held responsi- lo, too, while no responsibility attaches Lto the private citizen. The prosil:nt docs not know,or at least is not expocte to know, many pr vate citizéns: but ho does know the senator and member and “that the t people have sent them there to ropresont the people.

Membe 3 may recommend bad :srpuinum ts, they sometimes huve done, but I have yet to learn that n senator or member has recommendod a convieted felon for a federnl position, and yet Dr. Cl hus boen misled 5o much by depending on private individuals, that he has in less +than eight months' time commissioneu about a doxen convicted or indicted ras- ouls, thus very clearly proving thatin- * stead of turning the raseals out,he is only ‘turning the rascals in and turning honest men out, Iam utterly and unchangeably op- posed to any policy that tends toward the establishment of a life tenure of ofl whold theory of our system of gov- ornment is opposed to it, and the framers of thy government manifested their op- position to it by providin, . BHORT TERKMS OF OFFICE in all cases except United State: he president holds for four years, and when he retires, his cubinet oflicers are expoected to rotire with him. The consti- tution provides that senators shall hold for six yenrs and memb for two yoenrs only. The terms of nearly all oflic nuc{- as Uunited States marshals, district - attorneys, postmasters, land oflcors, governors and secretar of territor are limited to four year Every New England state elvcts "its governor every ear. New Yark eleets its governor onc n throe years, Pennsylvania the samu; Ohio, onge in two years: Indimna and 11 Linois. oncu in fou s, and, I'think, Missouri also. Nearly all the other Btates, once in two yeurs, All the state oflicers, or nearly so, ure changed also, at the sume time. Why these frequent changos in oflice, provided i every do- purtment of the general and stawe gov- ernmonts, by the wisost stutesmen of the 0 eentury wiich has passed, if the perma- nent tonnre system is the perfect pana- oen for all evils in the body politicr One object was, to bring public oficers into close relations with the prople, so that it they prove faithless to their trosts, the pople ean put better men in their places. It was to have publie olicors el and know that thew oll sLets must e passed in review by the puiilic judgo: mont at froquent and stated periods For a senator or member to have thing to do with appointments, it is A CURSE TO HIw ero ho makes one friend, he leavea 0z0n smies. But undera truly dom- ocratie, ropublican systeim of govern- mont, the evil cannot, in my humble ment, be uvolded o prosent eivil serviee statutes apply y to clerkships in the departments ot shington, and in the varions enstom houses wnd postoffices throughout the country. ‘rhe persons in those positions are (il*vd for life, or good behaviour, And right here this oivil Serviee is fasten: ing upon .the government one of the most offeetive ngencics of corruption —is furtening upon the government a cluss, and hedging them in, of persons who will the morc veadily yield to the sedoe tive intluences of the tempter and fae knay my judgment the for corruption are thuy g Iy in Porsons who know they N romoval in four or six ves will, are mueh moro likely aoly tirmly against tomp those wha foel 2 judges inct S0 0r at sot thew- ton. thin man ut- Fhe Kind of g is o, 13 King a sloois o1 makes Hhe decision it two, | o I pronches the one w! ] ort with improper applisnecs 4ansaetion hotween the o wlmost hmpossible | States e e e e ——— A v——— prove, for it does mnot take place in the market place, or before the world, but between themsolves only, with no witness, If el i or suspected, both w. il swear to their innocence.

Refreshmeuts fol lowed, interspersed with conversation upon the small pay of the clerks. and a kind suggestion that they ought to lay something by for a rainy day, all of which would bs kindly received. His claim would 80on be favorably reported, and allowed, nnd in due time the pocket- book of the clerk wonld not be troubled with emptiness as much asit was. Ho went on to say that the clerk who, to his knowledge, had thus accumulated the most, had the contidence of his supe more than any other one in the bures The cluss of officcholders, whe facilities for such corruption are th ensily attainable, and where the govern- ment can be most seriously harmed, it is tho object of the present civil service to surround with safeguards against re- movals for lifo. RY SUCCESSFUL ER OBJECTION vil service law is that it nges the powers and rights of the presidenteonferred upon him by the constitution, . making appointmenis; and I fully "believe, if the question e renches the supreme court, the law will be deelared in conllict with the constitu- tion.

Business men in the management of their own affa rs are not apt to seleet as agents for carry ing on their business, those who are Los- tile to it They profer to trast it to friendly hands. Why should not the government be permitted to pursue the Bame common sense course? - Again, tho 1 in power that dovs not put its own frionds and sapporters in oflice; and the man that does not stand by his own friends will cre loug go to the wall as ho ought to, CLEVLLAND'S SLOW DORSED. Tt was amusing to read the resolution adopted by the Lite democeratic conyen- tion at Lincoln, which endorsed the slow ness of the president in making removals and appointments. The record of the men l anathemas uttered by those snme democrats, and of the nnmber of times they have consigned Cl land to sheol would be appalling to behold.

The rule was, that the one who'complained should’ take the place of the cook. cook became tired of his ocenpution and thought he would set some of them to finding fault with the cooking. One morning he mixed up the biscuit, composed of one-half flour and half salt, and, baking them, sct them re the hungry miners. One of the ing o biseuit. planted his molars in it and seb his jaws to wageing, when ho suddenly exclaimed, “Well, if these ain't tho gold:rnd'st, saltest biseuit, I cver "'—just then he thought of the conse- quence of finding fault and quickly added, “but never mind,” I like 'um.
