The Monument to Vance.
The movement to erect a monu
ment to the late Senator Vance, of
North Carolina, ought to commend
itself to the sympathy and generons
aid not only of the people of his own
State, but of those of all sections of
tha country who remember with
admiration the brilliant intellectual
gifts and tho brave and sterliug
moral qualities for which the great
North Carolinian was so eminently
distinguished. It is something of a
reflection upon the patriotism and
appreciation of his countrymen that
such a memorial shoulct still be
lacking. In many respects Senator
Vanco deserves to rank with the
foremost men in our public history.
His delightful and perennial flow
of humor, which captivated even
his political enemies, measurably
concealed from the popular view
the greater traits and talents that he
posessed in so large a degree. He
was not merely an accomplished
orator, but a statesman in the best
senso of that word. He had a
peculiar endowment of sagacity and
far-sightedness, and combined rare
executive ability with broai political
wisdom. He was a typical Ameri
can, and hisstrightforward, homely,
unpretentious character was demo
cratic to the core and brought him
into sympathetic touch with the
people and made him the fearless
and earnest champion of their rights
and interests. It was his love of
justice and fair play, as well as his
genuine admiration of Hebrew
greatness, that inspired his striking
and eloquent lecture ou "The Scat
tered iNalion," a lectnre which he
delivered in many parts of the
United States ana which had a
powerful iufluei.ee in dissipating
the strong and unworthy prejudices
I against the historic and heroic
Hebrew race. V Inle all admirers of
simpleand unadulterated democracy
and of true Americanism 6hould be
eager to pay their tribute of resject
to his memory, the "Scattered
Nation," whose ancient glories he
so vividly described and whose
present right to equal consideration
and respect he so earnestly main
tained, owe him an especial debt of
gratitude, which they will, no
doubt, be glad to have an oppor
tunity to acknowledge. Baltimore's
contributions to this object should
be generous and prvmpt and such
as will give creditable expression
to the public estimate of the iutel
ljctual and moral wonh of Senator
Vance. Ir. Thomas J. lSoykin, of
this city, is a member of the coin
mitt authorized to make eollec
tions in Baltimore. The names
and amounts contributed wiil be
published in the News and Ob
server, of I-leigh, N. C, if desired,

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Its Provisions Extends to 30,000 Govern
ment Employes, Including the Custom
House Service, Revenue Cutters,
Internal Revenue Service and
Other Departments
Washington, Msy tl. The Presi
dent by his signature today ex
tended the provisions of tho Civil
Service law to 30,000 Government
employes, increasing tha number of
positions on the classified list from
55,736 to 85,135, and with a few
exceptions between the extremes of
oflieiale whoso confirmation by the
Senate is constitutionally requisite,
down to mere laborers and work
men. Governmental appointments
.e withdrawn as far as possible
f'om political influence and pro
tected in their tenure of office by
the merit system. The President s
signature at 11 o'clock this morning,
cancelling all former orders issued
and substituting the new rules, was
immediately filed in the State De
partment and went into force at
once, thus forestalling any positive
action throughout the country by
appointing officials or transferring
employes, or in any other way
evading the rules before being
formally notified of them. From
the moment of its signature the new
order made all Government officials
directly responsible to the com
mission tor appomtmcute and
changes.
Today's revision of the rules
divides the executive civil service
into five branches as follows :
The Departmental service, the
Custom House service, the Post
office service, the Government
Printing service and the Internal
Revenue service.
In the Lepart mental service are
classified all officers and employes
(except laborers and persons who
have been nominated for confirma
tion) in the several executive de
partments, the railway mail service,
Indian service, pension agencies,
steamboat inspection service, marine
hospital service, mint and assay
officers, revenue cutter service, snb
treasuries and engineer depart
mints, and the forces employed by
custodians of pnbiic buildines. The
oily exception mado in the Treasury
Department is in favor of those in
the life saving service.
lu tho Custom House service are
classified all officers and employes
in any customs district whose em
ployes number as many as five.
In the Poetoffiee Department are
classified all officers and employes
is any free delivery postofiiee.
In the Internal Revenue service
are classified all officers and em
ployes in every internal revenue
uistriet, except, of course, as in Uie

other cases, mere laborers.
The number of classified places
exempted from execution have been
reduced from 2,0'JO to 775, which
are m:. inly positions of cashiers in
the Customs, Postal and Internal
lievenuo services. Indians em-
floyed in minor capacities in the
ndian service are necessarily put
in the excepted list. Almost all of
the poi itioiiH in Washington which
have heretofore been excepted have
been hcluded in the competitive
list. The only classified positions
in Wa' htngton which will lie ex
cepted from execution under the
new rules will be private secretaries
or contiJential clerks (not exceeding
two) t the President and to the
head of each of tho eight executive
departt leniB.

Women Moonshiners,
One of the featnrers of the Fed
eral court at Statesville this week
wss the marching into the court
room Tuesday afternoon from the
jail of about a dozen women from
"Mitchell county to be tried for
retailing liquor. Some of them
were young girls, nndor 20 years,
and none of them were very old.
They were tried one at time and
all found guilty. Each was fined
$100 and imprisonment from one
to six months. Two or three years
ago Judge Dick issued an order
fi,at no woman bo brought before
him for retailing. Sin?o" that time
the liijuor business in Mitchell and
other mountain counties has passed
almost entirely into the hands of
the women, and the Judge lias been
compelled to recall the order. Both
tho Judge and district attorney
have received many letters and
petititions complaining of the illicit
liquor business as conducted by the
women of Mitchell. They are now
dealt with in court jost as men are.
