THE MANRG TIMES. WEDNESDAY. MARCH Si, 1386. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. LABOR STRIKES. The history of the daily outbreas! in every section of our Country wou1d seem to forewarn us, that, as to the vexed question of labor aid capitl. we are slumbering on a volcano, ready to burst at any inonent, and what the results will be. of such an upheavil, no one can tell. To say the lcast of it, the subject is one, pregnant with great consequences, and well wortny the study of statesmen and philainthrop ists; saint and sinner. The fict i1 patent to ali, that a great struggle is ahead, not only in this County, Ibut all over Europe. This deep muttering discontent the far off rumbling ai roaring of the comling conflict, ought to awaken the country to an earnest investigation of promoting causes, and a remedy, if there be one short ofI the "irrepressible conflict" Many evils have fallen to the lot of the la borer, for which no one is accounta ble, coming often from the advance of science and mechanics. The work of inventive ingenuity accomplishes fre quently more in one hour than fifty hands could, ordinarily in a day. Again, while it takes from the laborer with one hand, it has opened up new avenues of enterprise with the other. While it has closed one, it has af forded many other facilities hereto fore unknown and unavailable. But it is claimed that the constant ly increasing wealth of the one and the constantly increasing poverty. of the other, proves to a demonstration that, in the unequal partnerships of labor and capital, the latter has gath ered in the full fruits of inventive in genuity-and the former left rn a worse condition than ever. How long ere this principle will begin to per permeate every industry in the land ? Agriculture at last. The cause is the cause of our country, and wise our capitalists, if they lend, at least a lis tening ear, and meet half way upon the neutral grounds of arbitration, in every case where practicable. The French Revolution has left a painful and a bloody picture of a strike on a big scale. These Knights of Labor claim to number about 3,000,000 in the United States and Canada. Sure ly they must regard the cause as just when embarking to such an extent, and whether right or wrong, they are strong enough to originate trouble that will shake this continent. Wheth er right or wrong, they feel that they have suffered, and will not be slow. when the fit time comes, to pay up all arrearages, as they have given a fore- I taste in some notable instances, still fresh in the minds of the people. * Ar bitration is better far than carnage, plunder and bloodshed-the applica tion of brute-force in the redress of Mijury. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. WAsmN~GToN, March26, 1886. The condition of Secretary Manning who was stricken with vertigo while ascending the stairs of the Treasury Department, is considered quite crit ical. The afl'air has cast quite a gloom over his Department, and the people look for bulletins in regard to his con dition, every hour. Mr. Manning is a very hard worker, and his present prostration is ascribed to intense ap plication to his official duties. "Such close confinement and hard work as the Secretary has imposed upon him-! self," remarked a Treasury official," "often working until morning, was en ough to prostrate any man." Owing to Mr. Manning's size and weight, it was a difficulh matter to re move him from the Treasury to his home. He was placed in a chair and carried to the elevator. In lifting the chair from the elevator to carry him to- the carriage, one of the chair legrs broke under the heavy weight, anda fall was narrowly prevented. In their! efforts to support him, the men who were carrying him had their clothing almost torn off of them, giving those who saw him taken from the building the impression that he was in a dying~ condition. His friends are very ap prehensive about his recovery, since' his flushed face and labored breathing indicate that his accident was of ap oplectic origin. The House of Representatives is now trying to act upon some of the practical questions of the day, while the Senate is still discussing the po litical question, "What are public and private papers," and, "how to get them." The labor troubles throughout the country are occupying the attention of many members of Congress. Ilep resentative Weaver, of Iowa, thinksf our present republican form of gov ernment can not stand much longer if the present state of affairs continue. He says the labor question must be settled by legislation. There-are three great monopolies that oppress labor the railroads, the land and the brok erage monopolies. Congress can con trol the railroad and public matters, and can correct the other by giving a sound curreney. Representative O'Neil, of St. Louis, who has just returned from the scene of the strikers thinks the question is such a serious one that he has not been able to settle upon.'any plan yet toi propose to Congress for the adjust ment of differences between employ ers and employes. He is formulating some plans, however, which he will lay before the President, asking for hiis~ opinion of them and suggestions for: some measures equal to the emnergen cy. When both parties refuse volun tary arbitration it is hard to tell what can be done. A few mornings since the blind chaplain of the House made au open-i .ig prayer that was attentivelv listeu ed to and caused quite a sensation: Mr Butterworth of Ohio, seconded b. Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, it was orderet to be prints L in the Congressional Rc ord. He asked God to teach the pco ple of this country that money gaine otherwise than by the sweat of Ih face, as the fair and honest wage C honorable, manly work of brain o hand, is g-ined by theft, fno matic how we lamne the stealing; that mon c is never converted into wealth un less it cases to be the pander of ou lusts. and lifts us above the leVel c the animal, lighting us to the graces C life, making us kindly with our kim and patient to.God's laws. le pra. ed that the land might be rid of al gainesters, whether they :,amble wit' dice or cards or chips, wheat or stock corn or coi ton, and that we might b delivered fro:n robbers, who entice, their vietims to boards of trade, stoel exchaines, and bucket shops, and wl name their practices of plunder "shea :ng the 1unbs" Wihen the chaplain prays, the mos devotional mian on the tloor of th, House apparently, is Mr. Hendersoi of North Carolina He stands wit] lo0sed eyes and upturned -face, hi hands raised in front of him, pa, t< palm. He parts his tingers and bring them together again as the praye: progresses, keeping time, as it were to the periods. Hr. Henderson is ritualist, and with his smooth shavei face has a clerical appearance himself He comes from a historical family o N. C., and is one of the prominen lawyers of his State. The proposition to change Inaugu ration dav from the fourth of MIarcl to the thirteenth of April meets witl approval from our law-makers and i: sure to be applauded by the country The day is steadily growing in inter est for the people. With each quad rennial it attracts to the Capitol greater crowd and obtains wider an more ceremonious observation. Ther are several good reasons why Con ress should transfer the occasiol from the inclement month of MIarl to the last day of April. It would ad( sixty days to the session, thus givin, time for more and better legislation It would give the benefit of balm, weather to the celebration, and th< Capitol of the Nation, clothed in greei and brilliant with color, could then b( seen by visitors at its best. Third Annual Rteport of the Civil Ser vice Commission. WisarSoTox, March 25.-The Presi dent sent to Congress to-day the thir annual report of the civil service com mission, together with a message, il which he says: "The exhibit ihu made of the operations of the commis. sion and the account thus presented o the results following the execution o: the civil service law cannot fail to do Monstrate its usefulness and strength n the conviction that this scheme foi reform in the methods of administer ing the Government is no longer ai xperiment. Wherever this reforn bas gained a-foothold it has steadili advanced in the esteem of those char-g ed with public administration duties while people who desire good govern mnt have constantly been confirnied in their high estimate of its value anm aflic'ency. With the benefits it has ilready secured to the public servic< plainly apparent, and with its promiSi >f increased usefulness easily appreci ted, this cause is commended to the iberal care and jealous protection oj Congress." TaE Rrr~onT. The report says that applicant: bave beeni examined within a yea rom every State of the Union and from every Territory except Utah rh whole number of persons examin ed under the commission during the sear has been 7,602, of whom (;,87: vere males and 7:30 females. The whole number thus far exarmned sinet~ he Act was passed has been 17.491 Of the 7,602 examined during the pasi rear 5,034 attained the minimum oj G5 per cent., which makes them eligi ble for appointment, and 2,5G3 failed The average age of all those exam was 30 years, from which it would ap pear that there must have been [t: average period of from seven to six teen years of practical life interveninm between the time of comipletiug their education and the tinme of their en trance into the public service. It is further shown by the report, that th< average age of those who failed is less than six months above the average age of all those who succeeded, so that longer experience of the more. fresl: recollection of what has been learned in schols and colleges. From this result it would seem, the report says, that the examinations havy been such as to almost equally divide the chances of success between those who are best posted in their studies and those who are most experienem in busines affairs. This is probab contrary to the general belief. The education of those examined during the year, (exclusive of 477 who tools special examinations,) was as follows 6,053 only in public schools, 758 i: part in colleges, asd ;327 in part ii business colleges. If we class those whio have attended business colleges with those who haye been in other colleges, those educated i public schools alone are m~ore thar n2 r cent. of tiee whole number ex a~ied, and those who have been it college are less than 18 per cent. Ij busines colleges are not so classed thc ratio will be thiat.of 8d per cent. eda ated in schools to 14 per cent. in col leges. The whole number of app~ointmenb: made during the past year from those examined hais been 1.87(i each for probationary period of six months. 13 to those we add 2,3G0, the iumui~ made during the previous eighmter moths tinder the rules, it shows thrJ ,17U have been app)ointed in twc years. This is between one-third anm one-fourth of the whole number oj laces to which the examinations ex tend, and indicates that those to oillet when the Civil Service Act took effeci ined under it in from eight to tel 1 years. No com.plaint has been made tc -the Coimissiol by any person exam 1 ined, or desiring to be examined, thai e an Y discriim.ination h a s beet S made on political or religious grounds r or thAt hais suffered any prejudice b r reason of his aflliation with an) church, party or faction. The adhe L feac 01 the, rents oa of the great parties be r img nearly equal in number, it woulk 1 seem to be just to infer that aboui f1 two housal1d 1Repiblicanls and abou L two thousand Democrats have securi& pla c-es in the public service under th< il Civil Service Act. bA bAs ring upon the probability o , discrimination, and also upon th< e character and capacity of those ap. 1 pointed under the rules, it may b< k stated that during the past year, ti six mo.ths probaionary term of 35L appointees to deparments at Wash ingLton, and most of them appointe t un:der the lazt Administration, expir ae during the year ended the 16th o: . January last, and yet every one oi 1 the . ecpt eleven has been giver s perianeit appointment, and one oj the eleven, not at first so appointed, 3 has been rcstored. rl The report says also that it seein , to be thus proved by experience that i the examinations are so adequate a tesl 1 of business capacity that only aboui one out of forty of those who are ap f pointed are rejected after a trial oj t six months in doing public work. The report states mainy particular - of evils that were to be removed and i how far they have been remedied un i der the new system, based on free, op ien comupetion of merit. Political as sessments have been in a considera - ble measure suppressed. Solicitatior - and pressure for appointments have i been greatly limited. Members oJ I Congress have been relieved fron much annoyance. Those administer - ing the Government have had theij time much less taxed by office-keep i ers formerly, and have consequently 1 had much more time fur doing public work. The ability to dictate appointmentE and enforce assessments, which has been the strength and profit of parti san manipulators andi demagogues, has, the report says, been diminished in the same degree that faithful study in schools and good character and re putation in private life have been en couraged and rewarded. Partisan activity in departments is much less than it wais before the Civil Service Act was passed. Each ofimore than fourteen thousand subjects to exami nations is, the report says, so mueb taken from the spoils to be dispersed by patronage mongers, and so much added to the prizes to be won by the most worthy applicants. The report shows how examina tions strengthen the school system of the country, and that the general re sults have been as salutary in Neu York and 3Massachusetts, where the system is now established, as they have been in the Federal service. It sets fourth the details of the trial ol the new svstenm in these States as well as in Canada. The commnission declares that it ha opatonag~e and no power tc ran faors Itsays that the num ber of thos~e who attempt, according Ito the old spoils system methods, tc secure favors at its hands, is as nioth ing compared with the numbers who made such attempts (luring the first six months. They have found their efforts useless. The growth of sentiment favorable to the new system is declared to be rapid all over the union. - Ess Clevelatnd onI Dress. MIiss Cleveland has been sharply criticised for encouraging at tly White House inmmodest dressing in: society. A lady sends the following letter to the Tran,~seri/d, which she re ceived from lMiss Cleveland and in me sponse to a note of inquiry. on the subject: "I am very glad you have spoken to me about this matter, for it gives -me an opportunity to say to you, and Sthrough- you perhaps to others, what -I have long wished but have not no Sopportunity to say. The newspaper statement with regard to. my 'imimod - est dress' and its iniluence in encour Saging shocking scarcity of waists and sleeves in other women's dress has been sent me several times with ac companyinig comments, but always anonimously, so that I have been un able to r-eply had I deemed - the ani mus of the communication honest enough to justify an honest, responsc That has not always been the ease. But to-day I received a note from a person whlo speaks of himself as an: aged clergyman wvho signs his full name to the communication and seems to beC genuinely concerned anu friendly, altho ugh I can scarcely rec oncile the 'True interest and true respect' with which he signs himiseil as consistenlt with the credence which forms the occasion of his protest. I should hardly feel true interest or true respect for a person whom I be lieve to be tioing what the newspaper ship represene aue to be doing, name ly usingm the brief prominence of my position to encourage hiabits inl dress and nmnner-s which aire sub~versive of - -atsoeer things are p~ure, lovely. hionest -and of good report.' Such 1 becleve the inmnodest dress of sonic fe sciety women to be, and against su--h innodlesty I have made that si lent protest which it is every worman' right. and duty to make by having my own aress wvaist cut in a style which, so farm as, modesty is conlerned~, 1 sh'ould be quite willing. to have all w~omecn, to whomi this style of dress ibecoming~ and emfortable, fohow. "I aprv of evening~ drecss which sosneck and arm. I do not ap prove of any dress which shows the bust. Btween the neck and bust there is a line always to be drawn, and it is as clear to the most frivolous -anaomis~ts. This line need never be passed and a fashionable woman's low 'e- red eenn ,dres neld never b immodest. If it is so, it is because she prefers to be so. It is whol ly false, so far as I have observ ed. that a 'shocking scarcity of waists and sleeves mark the gowns of society i women.' This is sadly and painfully true of a few 'society women,' and it. is indleed shoeking, nauseating, revolting I -T:kd deserving of the utmost denunci ating on the score of morality, beauty, health and eveiy other consideration I which good men and women should I conAspre to preserve and exact. There is need of very few words on this I subject and no argument. Any A merican woman can wear the waist of her evening dress up to the lobes of her ears if she likes. There is no queen to command her appearance in low cor -,sae She can also, alas, so contrive nei- dress that by the exposure of her person all true social ethics and Tsthe ties as well are revolted! Between the two there is an appropriate and beau I tiful and modest mean which all can, if they will, follow." SHERIFF SALES. State of South Carolina, COUNTY OF CLARENDON. CornT or Contatox PLEA.S.
