How tho Civil Sen-tea Term Extension
. '.". WU1 Benefit Tlicm.
The Washington Star of yesterday
says: "The politicians are discover
ing that the question of the recognl
tion of gold democrats- under tho
new administration will in a large
measure solve itself. "The civil ser
ice law bas been so extended under
... the present administration that it
now covers a long list of places
which heretofore have gone to - the-
. .party victors at the polls. . These
- places are" in the customs service,
, '. and the incumbents, appointed tinder
the old system, - are all democrats.
A very large majority, of these offl
v cials voted either for Mr, McKinley
; or for General Palmer, And for two
-reasons." First, being in the service
under the . Treasury Department,
. tJ they felt inclined to support their
chief, Mr Carlisle, ln-the fight for
, sound money; and,' second, being in
office, and protected by tho civil ser
vice law, their own interest coun
seled support of the party, commit'
- Itcd to the ! upholding of that law.
. ilr. McKinley has won,- and the
- civil service law will be upheldj and
. these men, according to that policy,.
. -will be secure in their places---' , ' r"
, v This iteir4 in the 6tatcs of, Ohio,
Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee; North
Cnrolinaand Virginia, wnere inter
" nnl revenue receipts are heavy, will
; cut & figure.vf Heretofore a collector
of internal rovenue has controlled
r ail of tho patronage' under him.. His
. ' deputies his clerks, the gaugers
' and the store-keepers have, all been
' appointed upon his recommendation.'
' Now, only, the chief clerkship of his?
v office remains outride of the tipera-'
tionsot. the civil servico law,, So
that tho collector has been, stripped
of his patronage,'15 and the old-fash-ioned
party machine of much of its
. power. These places, all With good
salaries attached, are numerous in
the -states named, and heretofore
-'-they have entered somewhat lnflu.
' entially into the local party calculaJ
tions. But, as already stated they
- are now filled by democrats, t who
. are protected, vby tb$; civil; service
law, and those who ore characterized
v as pie hunters will have to take
-.'notice' accordingly. , , "r
jwafethis not oplikely that
tore and .there an attempt May be
luadelo evade the law,' and, under a
' sort of cover,' reward party men on
party grounds,. But tho bp'portuni
' . fties,- even for those disposed to re
port to such a thing, will Delimited.
'-vhile- new 'appointments" wilf" be
made, uppn ?the collector .' request,
and a statement by him that they
v " are necessafy,; for" the good of . the
' i servicej1 they will come through tfie
regular channels of civil'ser y ice t e--,
lections, and not, as heretoforef ac
cording to his individual desire and
' designation.' , It will notjbe Jn lis
power, therefore, to recast his fprco
''on partisan lines even by calling for
-'i additional telp and. discrimination
: agaist domocrats in the matter of SS
. sisrnraents to work. ', ?"
,. But the belief is that,, in the main
' the law under the new admlnlstra
tioaVltt.be rigidly enforced; .Mr.
' McKinley is a friend of the law, and
- . -during the- campaign, doolared for it
- without reservation, ' and it is not
thought that -when he takes office he
will tolerate any 'fine work" on the
1 part of any subordinate who may de
-.K sire to nullify o abvise it. - A close
watch will very likely be kept on all
" f such officials, and a-report promptly
T made to the proper authorities of any
'-violation of the law. . . .-. ...
- . The democratio macfiine men hope
'to benefit by ; this situation. .They
' ; have an idea' that - it will deeply
eravel the republican party work-
ers.tfarticularly in J the bordes
: slates, to see democrats continue, in
.enjoyment of good offices, even im-
'der the protection of the civu ser
' 'vice law, after national republican,
responsibility has begun, and that
Vicy will not be appeased when re
.minded that these democrats are
formnrt inntiov men and helped' to
achieve the republican victory.

As a. republican remarked this
morning the populists have at last
been made to show their hands, and
their claims are - found ' wanting.
Months ago the announcement was
made officially by Chairman Ayer
that the Populists had 65,000 voters
in the state and possibly more. All
tho populist shouters hollered lowd
er, some claiming as many as 90,
000 votes. ' . x
The vote shows that the populists
have not over 31,000 votes in the
State. ' Major Guthrie came within
1,000' oL polling' the '.full " populist
strength. It was only in Wake and
one' bt two other counties that the
populists scratched, their .candidate.!
for ' governor. . ; Guthrie's vote of
30,932 and Russell's majority of
8,836 gives 39,568, Which is the to

opinion of the President-elect that
no revenue legislation can be ac
complished this winter, and though
telegrams i disagree; regarding, his
attitude on the present agitation for
the Dingley bill, there is substantial
authority for-the statement that Ms J.
McKinley Is averse' to raising expec
tations as to iW enactment, which,
in his judgment, -can not be realized.
He fears that the. business commun
ity would become demoralized should
the bill be passed in thehouseagain,
