Bitter Attack Upon Civil Service
Law.
Vifviolin T.onrrnnrrr A Spfltllillfr Be
' " -- r>
nunciation of Carl Scburz, President
of the Civil Service Reform
League.
Washington, Jan. G.?The house
today promptly resumed the debate
011 the civil service question, and Mr.
Grosvernor of Ohio took the floor
with an elaborate speech in opposition
to the law.
In openiug, Mr. Grosvenor disclaimed
any leadership of the anticivil
service reform forces, and any
purpose to speak for any officer of
the government, executive, legislative
or judicial. 4 All efforts to entangle
me in a collission with the president,"
said he, 44are so much wasted powder.
If I believed that my relations to the
executive would be changed or modified
because I differ with him in any
representative capacit}7, I would
despise him, as he would despise me
if I faltered in my convictions.''
Mr. Grosvenor said he had watched
with n^tnirnfion the nrpfcident's nub
iic career, and one of his most prominent
characteristics had always been
that he not only did not demand subserviency,
but despised a man who
sought favors by sycophancy.
Mr. Grosvenor proceeded to pay
bis respects to the National Civil
Service Refrom League and to charicterize
its president. His excoriation
of the latter was the most scathng
that has been heard on the floor
}f the house in months. He deaounced
unsparingly those who
sought to read out of the republican
aarty those who believed in the J
repeal of the civil service law. "With
VITRIOLIC LANGUAGE
ie sketched the political career of
Mr. Schurz, which he characterized
is the "checkered, spotted, leprous
rareer of one who betrayed every
aarty and every duty to which he
.vas bound and whose betrayal
should been his only stock introduced
n the arena of politics.
He traced Mr. Schurz's political
history, and defied any one to point
Dut a point in the trait which was
lot tainted with political corruption,
i'et, he said, this was the man who,
cvith othea foul political demagogues
it Cincinnati, under the name of the
National Ciuil Service Reform League
bad denounced him and those who
thought with him on this question.
He read the resolutions adopted at
the Cincinuatti meeting, brandiag
them as infamous beyond descrip
tion.
Mr. Grosvenor's description of the
habits of the "cuckoo" teemed with
wit and kept the house in a roar.
Mr. Urosvenor, in replying to tLie
charge made against himself and his
colleagues, that they were betraying
the republican party, adverted to
what he called the list of traitors
among the higher priests of civil
service reform, at the head of which
he placed
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS,
who abandoned the republican party
to show tliot the present position occupied
by the majority of the house
was not inconsistent with these declarations.
"For I give the members
of the civil service committee
uotice," said he, "that we will have a
majority on this floor; and you cannot
strangle a majority in the American
congress." (Applause.)
He argued that when the .St. Louis
platform was adopted the extensions
contained in the Cleveland order of
May, 18'.Hi, had not been understood.
It was net until November, 181)6,
that the enormous scope of that
order, covering 4G.000 officials, was
publicly declared.
Mr. Grosveuor discussed the practical
effect of the law and the ex m'nations
of the committee, giving

through years of service had proved
their ability but who failed to answer
questions asked.
a waknino.
One of Mr. Grosvenor's statements
which o\\ ked an enthusiastic outburst
from the galleiies was in the
nature of a warning that if members
refused to listen to the voice of the
people in hostility to this law, they
would not be members of the fiftysixth
houce of representatives. He
argued thi?t the people were overwhelmingly
opposed to the law, and
)ODS
tr, ans.,
mage. Prompt and
| said hundreds of thousands of republicaus
felt a secret sympathy with
Mayor Van AVyck of New York, who
i aunounced that none but democrats
would be appointed to office under
the new city government. Governor
j Black said a few days ago that
j ''When the late lamented republican
i government of New York came into
I power there were 15,000 Tammany
j men in office, and when it expired
| there were still 15,000 Tammany men
i on the pay roll." The republicans,
j Mr. Grosvenor said, had been justly
| punished for keeping their enemies
i in their camp.
Mr. Grosvenor professed his adhe- !
reuce to the piincipal of the merit j
system and to the theory of examina j
i tions for office within certain lirnitai
tions. But, he explained, in concluj
sion, addressing the defenders of the
I law. "I want to serve notice ou vou
j that unless you j )in us in the correc!
tion of the abuses and the reformation
of the liw, we will join any portion
of the community,' legislative,
executive or judicial, and destroy the
law, root and branch."' (Uproarious

SPOILS SYSTEM SCORED.
Mr. Johnson, (rep., Ind.,) one of j
the ardent defenders of the law fol- I
lowed Mr. Grosvenor with an ;
extended argument in support of the '
merit system. He took occasion to J
review the historv of the civil service, '
I
pointing out that previous to the j
time of Jackson the spoils did not j
exist. Men were appointed to office j
for fitness, yet never was party feeling
stronger than then. He repu- j
diated the statements of the adver- I
saries of the law that Lincoln and
Grant believed in the spolis system.
In enumerating the evils of the
spoils system, Mr. Johusoa said it
made cowards of legislators; stormed
the white house: interfered with the
departments: it reached into the cap
itol and shaped legislation; it exalted
the office broker and attacked, villified
and calumniated the conscientious
man. Words he declared could
not do justice to tne infamy of this
prolific evil, which had debauched
the civil service.
Speaking to the rapublican side of
the house, he told his colleagues that
the merit system was a republican
child. "While Geosge H. Pendleton
was its author in inception, it was a
republican measure. Every republican
member of the house voted for it.
It has been endorsed by state and national
conventions. Cities and states
were behind it.
Mr. Johnsou attributed the present
"discordant and disgraceful scene"'
now being enacted in Ohio, with "visions
of senatorships going glimmeriug,"
to the scramble for spoils, state
and national, and said the surest way
to put Bryan aud his black banner in
the white house in 1000 would be for
the republican party to be recreant
j to its trust and to slap iu the face
j those who believed in an honestly
j conducted service.
After expressing bis confidence in
j President McKinley, Mr. Johnson
j concluded with au eloquent appeal
j to him to stand by the principle,
j upon the perpetuity of which the perI
manence of our institutions depended.

which this merry circle had gathered,
he a prince among men, and she, the
incarnation of all that is beautiful
and true. Soon some one said, "we
will move from here to the church,"
which was but a few yards away.
All who were so unfoitunate as to
miss a walk with some maiden fair,
and the writer was walked either in
| groups of two, or sadly went aloue.
"When we reached the church we
found that a large crowd had already '
gathered. The church was beautifully
decorated. The pulpit had been removed
and its place supplied by a
bautiful parlor organ. Seated at 1
this ''messenger of blessings", was
Miss Lizzie Gunter. By her side
Was standing Miss Edna Fallaw. ^
The congregation was sitting in
silence when all of a sudden the j;
organ began a lovely march. Two ]
people with slow but steady step
entered the door and marched up the
long isle to the front where was i
standing a most beautifully decorated
arch. In a moment more and they ^
are standing beneath that bow of .
beauty. In a moment more ami tbe
most extravagant hopes of his sweetest
Jay dreams will become the ^
monarces of reality, "B:llie Felix," 1
with his most wonderful imaginative
mind, never entertained a faint ^
idea of half the infinite bliss and untold
rapture that passes through the b
being of this young man, now stand- t
ing by the side of the perfection of
his dreams, the idol of his heart. lr
He has sought and obtained the goal tl
of love at the end of the bow of
beauty. "A woman's soul is in her j,
song," and her song was of him her g
prince. The preacher arose, said a b
few words and in Convent church, on
