Silver as a money metal iccclved u stun

the Bland-Allison act of 18"3 , which one of
its authors sought to revive.
No ono antlcipuednnj thing Hko the ma
jority given unconditional tepeil , the highest
estimate placed upon thu majority just
before the roll was called upon tbo Hist
vote being sKty. Mr. liland nnd his foi-
lo.veis were almost breathless withsuipriso
when the result of thuoto upon fieo coinage -
ago was announced. All of the lepubllcans ,
excepting about a do7un , voted against free
coin igo upon any i.itio and forrupoil. 'Iho

strong effect upon the senate , wliete the lice
coinage advocates h ivo for somn time hinged
their hopes Four or five sonatois hive
alieidy announced a change of heart , among
them , Hinsom of Norlh Carolini and Gor

tor Is authoiltv for llio statement that there
will bo no filibustering or any unusual

and then lot the bill como to a veto. Tbo
fioo coin igo senators openly acknowledge
th U Ihey .no in Iho inmouty In the senate ,
and that it is now next to an impossibility
to defeat unconditional repeal by any method.
Their hope of defeating U by a prolongc I
debito and avoiding a dlrocl vote seems
almost blasted. It is believed by almost
every ono that tbo bill , which pissed the
today , will become law befoioniany
Then silv or as a money mot il , f in tbcr

How Hcpnblionns Are Discharged.
At no time prior to the enactment of tha
civilsorvlco lawworo changes nmdowith
greater frequency or In a more swooping
manner than have taken place in the minor
offices of the various executive departments
duiintr the past tin GO months This is
espcclilly true In Iho Treasury and Interior
departments. It would scorn tbatSeciotaiics
Cat lisle and Smith weio pledged to oxciciso
most vlgoiously the use of now biooms.
Scarcely a week day has passed within
tinco or tour months that tbo local news
papers of Washington h ivo failed to oluon-
iclo the displacement of fiom Ion to fifty
clerks in 1'ioso departments. The p ist few
days have been fiuilful hurvcsls for Iho
spoilsmen.
An impression abounds lhat wnen once a
man or woman secures cmploiniPiit in the
cxeculivo doputmciits of Washington
through the Civil Sorv Ice commission and tbo
competitive examination processes that ;
clerk is sccuio fiom displacement for patti-
san icasotis. Alost people behove that do-
p u tinent cmploi cs within the classified scrv-
ice Ihosc whoso salailes range fion J'JJO to
? 1bOO annually are secure against lomoval
If they only properli pei form their duties
and commit no peisonal offonso. This is a
mistake. Tlioro aio Iwo direct molliods of
gelling rid of anyilcrk or oilier employe.
The tlrst is lo dischuigo him or her for the
alleged reason thai the service porfoimcd is
not necessary. The second is that the clerk
is ineflloient.
Oilier VVllyH to Work It.
Again , the head of tbo dopirtmont can
reduce Ihe salary ot Iho clerk or employe tea
a point below the minimum of the civil
service classification or promote and in
crease the salary to n point above tbo classi
fied list and then dismiss without giving
any reason. Still another way to dispose ot
a clerk within the classified list Is to simply
dismiss , nnd then when cause Is demanded ,
lo say : "You wcro offensive In the discharge )
of iour duties. "
Not ono of the thousands of icpubllcan
employes of the fcdoial govoinmont uho
have been summaiily dismissed fiom sorvieo
since the ad vent of President Cleveland has
over thought for a moment of making com-
plalnl to Ihe Civil Set vice commission or de
manding a reinstatement. Tlioro is prou-
alily not a ease on iccoid vvhcio all effort nt
loinstalcmont was successful. Efforts havu
been made , but n sulllcient excuse was given
by tbo head of the dopiitmont who .ilieolcil
the dismissal. A largo number of tcsls
wcicmado dutlng PresldciitClovoInnd's'first
term , but it was noon learnnd that offoits at
reinstatement wore so much good labor lost.
A popular method of getting rid of repub
licans under ibis administration has been lo
order a "reduction of forces" in this and that
department. Seine time after tlio wholesale
dismissals iho hcid of Iho department will 1
begin to promote domocrais to 1111 the va
cancies In iho higher gtadcs , and in many
instances domociats under iho classified list
have bcon pushed up within classification.
When ox-Governor Thompson of South Caio-
llna was assistant secretary of the ticasur.v
during President Cleveland's first term , ho
invented the schema of reducing or raising
republican clerks , so as to got them outside
of thu classified list , with the view to sum
mary dismissal , Ho then got demociuts Into
their places by the s uno process Repeated
intention was culled to this vvoik , tiui the
Civil Set vice commission was Impotent. Gov-
oinor Thompson was rewarded for his disre
gard of civil sorvlco pilntlplos by being made
a civil service commissioner ,
