Four days ago she was stricken with apoplexy and ever since has been hover- ing between life and death. Her great age made recovery next to impossible, and yes- terday the much feared end came. Mrs DeVol has been a resident of this city ever slnce 1847. She was born in Canaan, N. Y., was brought up in the Presbyterian church and was there married in 1830 to David De- Vol, who survives her. They went to Nau- | Yoo, Ill, in 1841, and stayed there until the Mormon emigration six years later, when they decided to follow the westward tide. They came to Council Bluffs with the Mor- mons, and when they arrived here, concluded to make it their home. They had ten chil- dren, of whom P. C. and Mary, who still | live, Harrlett Green, deceased, Delia, wife of W. R. Vaughn of Chicago, and William, who lived here until his death In 1875, are known to the people of Council Bluffs. Mr. and Mrs. DeVol celebrated the sixty-fourth anni- versary of their marrlage a week ago Satur- day evening, and a few days later the wife was stricken with the malady that caused her death. The funeral will take place Tues- day from the residence, the exact hour to be announced later.

No de 1t of the government gives great satisfaction to the public at large, yet t mal employes now are first been the last five years, Those enter . ineluding repubti hibitionists, populists wholly wthout regard tion and which in free trade, which are ge and which against free con- ige of silver. As a matter of fact nobody can tell anything about their views on the subject. From the performance of their luties no one could tell a republican from a lemocrat. The rigid enforcement of the civil service law is the rcason why there has been no deterioration in the service in the anges of administration. INDIAN SCHOOLS SERVICE. ““The rest of the government service should me way. The revenue office should be classified of for purely cen £0 In the last ten years because the il service law has been enforced in that service, and because recently that law was administered by Super:ntendent Hallman with a desire to obtain the spirit as well as the “What has been going on recentl; burg shows the iniquity of tem. There one of the congressional candi- dates has actually sought to levy a political sment, amounting to a month's salary, from the employes of the internal gevenuc service. Similar efforts have been made to assess postoffice employes. The moncy was sought wholly without regard to the politi cal affiliations* of employes. It is a mere piece of blackmail and just as If gained by knocking down clerks on the highway. It scems hard to understand why an intelligent community will tolerate so gross an abuse, where a man deliberately plunders a set of public servants that he may get funds where- with to debauch voters. The commission re- cently had before it the case of the recorder of deeds, Taylor, and during the investiga- tion It was proven that wherever the civil service law did not obtain in Washington a condition of actual terror existed in the pub- lic service and that janitors, porters and all other employes were forced to pay politi- ciang for places and pay to retaln them Anything more degrading, more servile more viclous, cannot be imagined NO ARGUMENT AGAINST IT. “We have had a great many public men attack the merit system but there has never yet been any argument advanced against | or in favor of the spoils that was both hon est and intelligent. There are honest mes who are yet too prejudiced, too ignorant or too unobserving to understand the fruitful ere evils of a corrupt public service admini In a spiril of base partisanship. There plenty of dishonest politicians, both shrewd and unprincipled, who, for their own base interests, denounce the merlt system and seek to excite prejudice against it. But there Is not a single honest American de siring the welfare of the country who can look for a moment at the two systems and consider the principles for which they stand without becoming a hearty ally of and be- liever in the new methods. The law Is steadily making headw The classified service is extending all the time. The com- mission, however, is necessarily required to be active in supervising the extension of the law. This is notably the case in the newly classified postoffices, where there is always a hitch, it being difficult to get the law well observed at the outset. Take In- diana, for instance. Indianapolis has been classified far muny years. There was a practical failure in havicg the law ab: lutely enforced during Mr. Cleveland's first administration. At the beginning of Mr. Harrison's administration a rigid observance of law had been accomplished. On the othier hand during the present administration there bad been great difficulty in a number of smaller Indiana postofiices in which post- masters have made every effort, sometimes iccessfully, to evade and nullify the law Several of these cases are now under con- sideration. ““The commission {s not: only now investi- gating what is being done in some of these offices, but it also is keeping a vigilant eye on political assessment matters. The law unfortunately, is not strong enough. It oughi to be strengthened 80 as to prohibit any | one from making a political contribution to a government official. The latter would then be left free to contribute freely of their own accord. At pr nt the demands from high officers of important committees are com plied with by the clerks because they know these officials are In the same party organi- zation with their own inferior officers. “The commission has some amusing ex- periences with certain ‘chronic opponents.’ There are certaln men In the senate and lower house who delight in making charges which there is no chance to answer but who never take up any challenge of the commis- slon when it convicts them of misstatement and when making misstatements avoid the issue by simply failing to respond to any let- ter of correction from the commission,” — WESTERN P Veterans of the Late War Remembered by the Gigneral Government.

NEW CALIFORNIA INDUSTRY, Chlcago Tanners to Start an Enterprise There Employing Many Men. FRANCISCO, [Oct. %.—A novel in- dustry has been started in the San Joaquin by Chicago tanners, who selected i for climatic reasons for their ex- tensive operations. It means the employ. ment of large forces of workmen and the expenditure of large sums of money. The tanners are to cultivate a weed from the 00ts of which they can tan better leather than from anything else. The men who had most to do in establishing the enter- prise are Profs. A. Culley, J. H. Carothe and 1. M vis of Chicago, who are said to represent two of the largest tanneries in the world. A contract was closed through the south- ern department whereby 5,000 acres of land in the San Joaauin valley were purchas for the new industry. The land is situated about eight miles from Merced and is p of the immense tract owned by the ¢ cago concern. Sixty families in or n Chicago have been notified to move at once Merced, and before the end of this week the land. It is expected families will be placed on s soon as operations are the fully ‘under wa 000 acres A’ scheme been mentioned to plant canigre, a weed of the yellow dock famil over the broad acres.
