speech the iNorthern Pacifio bill ws

purpose of considering the army appro

cordingly taken up and its consideration

plaoed before the Senate and tbe Senate
adjourned. ,
Hi- BOVSI.
The House went into committee of
the whole (Mr. Blount in the chair) on
the legislatirO appropriation bill. The
oiyil service clause harinff been read.
the chair stated that the pendine ques
tion was the; point of order raised by
Mr. Morrison aealnst the Drorision
looking to a change of tbe rules of the
commission,
Mr.! Holmasi" of Indiana, briefly an-
tagoniied the point, holding that the
provision was-, merely a limitation on
the expenditure of publio money,
j Mr, Morrison, injupport of his
point, said that under the? law the duty
of adopting regulations devolved on the
commission 1 and the President The
purpose of the proponed legislation was
tq impose certain combinations which
the law did hot impose, and therefore
it was a change of law in contrarentien
of the rules of the House.
A long debate followed unon the
point of order, but as the decision of
the chair wasb foregone conclusion, but
little interest bas taken in the discus
sion, lhe chairman debrered a careful
decision, in which be reviewed the pro-

Mr. Cot. In the few moments allow
ed me I can not hope to treat this ques
tion in the manner it deserves. I will
remark that at the outset the friends of
ojvil service reform have nothing to fear
from the discussion ' which has taken
place on this floor. Tbey nave 'passed
through far more formidable opposition
and came off victorious. Their eftort to
purify, elevate and reform the publio
kservice is a most laudable one, and the
people will see that they have a reason
able opportunity to try the ; experiment.
Panoplied in the cause Of right, they will
go forward.
The smooth stone in the sling of the
youth was far more formidable than all
the threats and boastings of the great
Goliath of Oath. I am not here to
speak of jthe violations of this law, for
it is to be judged not by the -actios of
its unfaithful guardians, but upon its
own merits. The committee, of which
I hate the honor to be chairman, after
fully and carefully considering a bill
for its repeal which was referred to it.
submitted the following reasons among
otners tor opposing its repeal :
(I) ihe principle of divorcing the
subordinate offices of the government
from politics and elections and making
tne term of omce depend, not upon party
service, hut upon merits and ffood be
havior, H a good one. ! So far as this
principle is sustained by the present law,
the committee think there should be no
change.

highest places the shameless doctrine
avowed by men grown old in publio
office, that the true wav by which power
should be gained in the republic is to
bribe the people with the offices created
for their service, and the true end for
which it should be used when gained is
the promotion of selfish ambition and
the gratification of personal revenge.
I havei heard that suspicion haunts
the footstepsjof trusted companions of the
President. These things have pa Med
into history. And he- lived to see more.
He lived to see a Vice-President of the
United States driven in disgrace and
humiliation from bis exalted position
in the other end of the eapitol, and he
lived to a President exalted to' his
high station by such questionable means
that not all the honors heaped upon hfrn
oould command the respect of event bis
own party, and who even while living
is mentioned only to' mar VA vepoh n
our history which we wnuloTgladly far
get. Under such circumstances good
men every where appreciated the indis
pensible necessity for a reform in the
civil service.
In 1864 a bill was introduced looking
to the appointment of applicants to office
by a .test of competitive examination
and a reward of merit. Politicians op
posed it because it deprived thorn of
that great patronage which enabled
them to pay their political debts by the
appointments to public offices.; But,
sir, that system which, contemplated
testing the qualifications of men and ap
pointing them on the list of merit was
not so easily disposed of. The straggle

other reason than this, the committee
will oppose anv measure nrovidinir for
an absolute repeal.
(4) reason or information has
been presented to this committee justi
fying an ; unconditional; repeal of the 1
present law. It may perhaps need im
provement, but the remedy; is amend
ment, not total repeal.
I stand today by the declarations and
reasons of the committee. No human
aws are perfect, and hence we see that
legislative bodies are continually alter-
: ,
lug, auiouuing ana euanging tnose
upon the statute-books. It is no argu
ment against this law to Bar it has not
teen carried out in good faith ; but on
tne contrary it presents forcible reasons
why we should seek to amend and im
prove it. j As faithful guardians of the
public interest it behooves us first to in
quire whether a law in itself is right,
and ii it is right we should throw such
restrictions around it as would punish
and dishouor those who willfullv vio

That it does improve and elevate the
publio service when ' carried;' out in its
purity and integrity there iare none so
bold as to deny; The Pemooratie com
mittee of this . House on reform in the
civil service in the forty-eighth Congress
gave it their unanimous - indorsement.
Tho President in his recent message to
Congress said it was no' longer an experi
ment but was accomplishing; all its most
partial .friends claim for it. i
The (Jovernor of New York, the ideal
Democrat of the young Zemocraov. in
his inaugural address spoke of the good
it was aoeompiishing, in the; highest
terms, and Governors j Robinson, of
Massachusetts, and Hoadly, of Ohio,
strongly indorse this reform. Not only
this, but the legislative assembly of
North Carolina, both 'before and since
the election of the President, has ex
pressed its approval of the measure.

tinguished statesmen and writers in and
out of publio position who have added
their testimony in behalf of civil service
reform, i u;K- i :
Probably the most determined but
theoretic spoilsman who ever occupied
the White House was Andrew Johns' n,
for he was unable to carry his purpoM
into practice by reason of the impedi
ments tnat were thrown in his way by
the Congress of the United States. In
1846 Ee introduced a bill In Congress
or a most; demagogical character in re
gard to rotation in office. In 1361 he
aserted it was the duty of Southern
Senators to thwart every plan of the in
coming administration by rejecting all
residential nominations: 'not ad van.
tageous to the South.
In 1866 he openly defied the power
oi congress to cnecx nis course in re
gard to removals, and as be swung
around tie circle he declared in his
speech at St. Louis, in speaking of those
then in ojnoe, "if you the people wil
stand by pne 1 will kick them out as
fast as lean." I do not wish to be un
derstood as participation in this auarre
between the Republisan party and their
chosen executive, but allude to the
quarrel in order to ahow the bitfer eon
tests which have heretofore nrevailed
in regard to the aonointments to nffirui
Mr. Lincoln had declared that the pres
sure in his time was s great; that he
had not tame to devote to the preserva
tion of the Union; that he felt like a
man who; was letting apartments in the
front part of his house, and .had not
time to turn around and put out the fire
which was oonsuming the rear, j
To present but an imperfect outline
of the corruption and demoralization of
the civil ; service of this government I
need but to call your attention to the
remarks I made by Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, on the' trial of Belknap.
He stated that in the brief period he had
been in 1 publio life he hid seen fiva
judges of high , eourts pf, the United
States driven from office by threats of
impeaohaient; he had seen in the State
of this Union foremost in pqwer and
wealth four of her judges impeached
for corruption; he had seen the chair
man of the committee on military affairs
rise in his place and demand the expul
sion of four of his associates for making
Bale of their official privilege of select-
its inspiring motives And the reform
will go on despite the opposition of I
grasping politicians.
lalk about it being aristocratic to
appoint men on account of merit instead
of political influence! Why, sir, it is the
very genius and essence of democracy.
t brings the omces within the reach of
the people, and says to the tenant of the
humblest hamlei "qualify yourself to
serve your country and if you have
merit you shall e rewarded without re
spect to influence or power." There is
in tne treasury department today a
chief of a division who but a short while
ago was an obscure village boy. He
was selected by a competitive ex am ma-
leaves it to eotne to hint. When si man
stanas W-hii ratecrity, when aa official
give to the public his best serviees, he
may mage mistaxes ail are liable to
do that but the people will make all
proper allowauoes for the errors he may
commit. - - ;
The two most important planks in the
platform upon which Mr. Cleveland
was elected were honesty and economy
in the administration of public affairs
and reform in the civil service, and in
his letterr of acceptance he gave his
hearty asaent to these measures.! He
had Been the Congress of the United
States pass this law in 1883; he i had
seen in the Senate and in the House
the records of the votes for and against
it, and that the efforts of all seemed
directed toward the perfection and not
the destruction of the law. Did all this
mean nothing ? Was all this a: sham
1 fraud T : Will gentlemen make such
declarations aa these upon the floor Of
this House with all the facts staring
them in the face ?
Now we have an executive who is en
deavoring to . faithfully execute a i law

and the question arises whether we will
stand by him or embarrass him in fulfill
ing his and our own public pledges.

Here we breathe a fetid political atmos
phere. It is a point at whioh the offices
are distributed. Jealousies and rival
ries excite the imagination of the Rep
resentatives, and, I fear, stimulate
more of a desire to secure the patronage
of office thau to bestow their thoughts
ind attention to the preparation and en
actment of wholesome legislation for the
ben' fit of the whole people-
W ay was this rider forced upon an
appropriation bill, in violation of one of
tbe most stringent rules of this House,
Which forbids all legislation in appro
priation bills which are simply to pro
vide for the payment of our public
obligations? Was it that gentlemen
might air themselves on civil service; re
form, preparatory to ; the nominating
inventions, because this law is now un
popular with the managing politician?

was enacted into a law. So great was
the pressure of publio opinion that after'
a long, able and protracted debate,
when a vote was taken on the bill, but
five Senators were found to record their

sage, in the half-hour's debate which
ensued there was ho voice! on either
side of the' House condemning the
reform, and those who opposed the
measure did so because they feared the
provision in regard to political assess
ments was not sufficiently stringent,
and the vote recorded was 155 yeas to

If this law means nothing, why was it

a sham and a fraud, why hold out such

by a rumbling sound, which appeared

People who were awakened by the
shocks ; were of different minds as to
their cause. Some said they were due
to an earthquake, while others attrib

the latter cause, an explosion must have
occurred on a vessel at sea, as no land
lies to the southeast. The light-ships
are in their proper positions and nothing

A number of reports, are current re
specting the plana of the President for
spending the summer. One is to the
effect that he will, immediately after
t' e adjournment of Congress, go to the
Adirondaoks; another has it that he will
spend the heated term in Michigan;
some say he will only go as far as his
newly-purchased country place near
this city; and this, one says this, and
that one says that. The probabilities
are that neither Mr. Cleveland nor his
wife nor any one else yet knows where
the White House pair will go or what
the new partners in life will do this
summer. The prospects are that they
will stay here for; some; time to oome,
for Congress will probably not adjourn
for two month yet. I had a good look at
Mrs. Cleveland yesterday. She iB very
handsome ahd her chief oharacteristks
are her walk and general carriage,
Spencer's lines "will describe her: :
"Tell me, ye merchants' daughters, did ye see
So fair a creature in your (own before?
Sc sweet, so lovely, and so mild as she,
Adorned with beauty's grace, and virtue's
store?" : I s-
' i : ,
She carries her head high, but in a
perfectly natural way that at once dis
arms any suspicion that the said head
had been turned? in the least by her
good fortune in life.

As was Anticipated, id my letter of
last Sunday, there has j been a lively
discussion of the civil service law in the
House this week, precipitated by that
clause in the legislative;' appropriation
bill affecting two of tho ! present rules
Your telegraphic renorls .of Congres
sional proceedings furnished your read-
ers with the gist of the; discussion. As
tbe wires told you, Gen4 Cox was the
chief defender of the law and 'his re
marks elicited frequent spnlause. On
the otherliand Mr.. .BAudall .; and Mr.
Holman Iasiate4 thai itj iwaa inanifestly
wrong to shut on a. man or a i woman
from obtaining a government elerkshap
when he Or she had reached ' the age of
45 the time when most, men . were SnJ
their prime. You got! a wrong im
pression from your report which led
you to think that Mr. Randall attacked
air. vieveiana. in nis strictures on
the President,'; in connection with this
rule, he had reference to Mr. Arthur.
It is a sad commentary on the consisten
cy of such a rule to note, as I have
noted, that tnere are, tbousands of
clerks now serving the government who
are over 60 years of age, and many of
them have celebrated their YUth birth
day. But a: new man mnsn t appl
if he is 49 years oldl lie is too ag
Get out, you old decrepit cemetery! In
justioe to Gen. Cox. however, it should
be stated .that he was not defending this
rule specially, but; was' protesting
against such a "rider" on an appropria
tion bill; and he further stated that he
had reason to believe thft it was the in
tention of the President and the civil
so vice commissioners to modify ana
amend the present; rules governing ex
examinations ana appointments, nis
defence of President Cleveland was well
delivered and called forth frequent de
monstrations of approval from tbe "ad
ministration men and from luauy mem
bers on the "other side."

It was a surprise to our delegation hi d
the other members of - the. House, who
are laboring to amend '.and modify the
present internal revenue laws, to note
the course pursued ' by Mr. Randall
when Col. Cowles offered oae of his
revenue bills aa an amendment to the
oleomargarine bill. They were also
surprised at the : stand : taken
by Mr. Morrison. Mr. Randall,
who has hitherto professed to
favor even the repeal of these Odious
laws, voted against Col. Cowles' amend
ment. Mr. Morrison very unexpect
edly worked and voted, for it. Mr.
Morrison has since told a member of
our delegation that he intended to do
what he could to lift this " internal rev
enue" burden from our shoulders.

The National Republican, in com
men ting on the fact that the educational
bill has not yet passed the House, states
that the reason is because it is a Demo
cratic : body, alludes to ! the
passage of the bill twice by
Republican Senate, f and asserts
that it will not become a law until
the Republicans regain -control of the
House. This statement is too thin for
even summer wear. Had it not been
for the active opposition of E. B. Tay
lor and a majority of the other Repub
lican members of the oomnuttee on edu
catumy the Blair bill would have been
reported to the House two months ago
and it would have passed that body long
ere this.- . ; AjLbwxaji
