To show some of tho characteris

SENATOR VANCE’S SPEECH,
Iu Support of his Bill to Repeal the
Civil Service Law.
Constitution 1st.
Mr. Vuuco said that all the pres
out difficulties between the president
and the senate was dae to the act
falsely called "an act to regulate
ud und improve tho civil servioe of
the United States.’’ Ho hud intro
uc d the bill which his present re
murks were intonded to support, foi
the purpose of repealing that act
Mr. Vance created much laughter
by reading a suppositious cou versa
tion between au imaginary "old
lemocrat’’ and an equally imagine
representative of the government,
in which the old democrat, bearing
in mind all the years of democratic
exile, coufidontly approaches the
represeutatave of the government
expresses his joy at “our victory,'
and says ho has come to get a place
The representative of the govern
rnent receives him rather cooly, and
assures him that he is too old
When the old democrat’s disappoint
rnent has been sufficiently express
ed, he recommends his son, who
young and active, but the govern
meat representative, with many
‘ahems,” explains the working of
the civil service system and when
the old democrat inquires whether
all the republicans in office had got
in under the civil service system,
and had been subjeoted to the neo
ossary examination, tho government
replies that he is troublesome, that
he should nut ask impertinent ques
tions, and shows him to the door
saying, "away with you." Mr. Vance
said this was no fanoy picture
There were thousands and thous
ands of men like that old democrat
und they were the strength of the
democratic party. They had been
its refuge in the past. Mr. Vance
was tot quite sure that they
would be its champions iu the fu
ture. They would not fight to win
democratic victories for republican
benefit. They believed that
a man were raised to the place of his
ambition by his friends, he should
givo his friends preference
over his enemies. So did
Mr. Vauco. They also be
Uevd that a man found wabting in
gratitude might likewise be found
wanting in other kindred ar,d car.
dinal virtues. Mr. Vance was fre
queutly applauded by the galleries
in th< course of his remarks.
In the broadest and most com
preheusive sense, Mr. Vance an
uounced himself a party man. He
belived parties indispeusable to lib
erty, and that government by party
wsb the only was in which there
could be a government by the peo-
i le. Madison had said that parties
were the natural preservers of liber
ty.
Dr. Francis Lieber had said it
was impossible that civil liberty
could live without, parties. To the
same effect wrote Hallam, Macaulay
and all the great historians and ob-
serners. As Lord John Russell had
said, moDks, philosophers, sentimen
tal women and effeminate men had
constantly preached against the
dangers
knew that, ,.
of liberty and its natural offspring.
‘ a iu a fr<
de bonis non. Referring to the
share of offices given to the south
by the republican party, Mr. Vance
said that out of over 7,000 offices iu
Washington, only 253 were register
ed from the south, aud the civil ser
vice commissioners had declined to
remedy this inequality. In the
president's tender and touching fare
well to the patativo parent of oivil
servioe reform, Commissioner Eaton,
he spoke of those who opposed this
law as the worst elements of both
Straight-Edge Religion.
(Rev. 8am Jonci.)
Righteously. I want to get reli
gion in this country that runs on
that straight-edge; do what we say
we will do. Down South I will tell
you what is so; They will turn a
Hardshell out of church for taking
the homestead or bankruptcy law,
just like they will for stealing; they
will as sure as you live. I will tel)
you another tiling: In one town
down in Georgia an old Hardshell
oame into a store one day, with big
old brown jean clothes on, and told
themerohaut he wanted $200 woi;th
jof goods. The. merchant told him
Hi*®*- , There a WM - "1*0* b« thought he bad furnished about
doubt that a great majority of j^us Rood, as he could, and the
democratic party Were opposed
that law.. If then the "worst ole
inouts” of the democratic party
were in the majority the party want
indeed in a bad way. Mr. Vance
having stated that at the time of tbe
passage of the oivil service law the
government departments were work
ing night and day to make all the
appointments possible bofipru the
bill t-liould become a law, Mr. Teller
made a distinct and positive denial
of the statement. He said it bad
been so said in some newspapers,
but it was an entire mistake.
9 old Hardshell walked out. When
he had gone the merohant turned to
p tpan aUd said : !'Who was that?"
'He is so-and-so; he isn member-©!
the Hardshell uhorcb down there.’
The merchant W6bt to the door and
says "Mister, come back." He says,
“Are you a Hardshell?" "Tf*,"
“O, well,” be says, "I will Sell you
all tho goods I have got u on credit,
clerks and all; I will just dose out
to you on a credit; you cun get any
thing you want here." He was a
Hardshell.
O, I want to foe every denomiba-
tion iu Ibis country come to the
point where the mao, if he is a
Christian at all, this world, knows he
is honest: and he will do what he
says will do. [Cries of "Ameu.”l
That is what we want. I will tell

Hypothecating bus’s Religion.
(ChicagoRormoQ of Rev. Bam Jones.)
Lookbero! The church, my broth
much was made to depend and on
the couditi n of the Commissioner’s
liver, his appetite for diuuor, or the
failure of his morning hitters. The
until we have got down bo low now
that you can’t teaoh the ohnrch up
to save your life ; the world backs
water ou her. It's a fact, we afe
getting down too low.
What is a man’s Methodism or his
Presbyterianism worth on the mar
ket here now ? How much can a
Presbyterian hypothecate his relig
ion for iu this town, and how much
can he draw on it ? That is the way
to talk it Here. Go down town

should do all tbe office holding was
like the act ol the Jews of old in
cousoeratiug the family of Levi to
the houors of tho priesthood, leav
ing to tho other tribes hardships
anil responsibilities of war. The
ivil service commission wusu board
if censors to watch the president
aud make him walk a chalked line;
to supervise senators and represen
tatives. President Gai field bad
truthfully said that the doctrines of
Hamilton were wuxiug while those
of Jefferson were waning. If the
chief magistrate could properly hold
office for only four years, why
should the clerk hold for life? It
was =-aid the clerk became more com
petent by long terms of office. Wby
did not the same argument apply to
tlje president, and to senators and
representatives? Why Bhould
clerk be endowed with official im
mortality? We were told the Eng
lish system was good, and that civil
service did not there change its per
sonnel ou the change of parties,
Well, the executive power of Eng
land was a hereditary power, and
the perpetuity of office-bolding was
characteristic of a monarchy. It
was not of a democracy. There
were sqme’people among us, M
Vanco continued, who hated the tin-
moil .and struggle of freedom, iu
which they were compelled to jostle
against those whom they ditl not
suppose to be their social equals.
Eugtish view seemed to flourish
among thAt class. Mr. Vanoe ask
ed who was responsible for tbe con
duct of an offioer appointed under
this law? Not the president, be
cause he had only made tbe ap
pointment selected forhim, not the
head of a department, for the same
reason; not even the civil servioe
commissioners themselves, for they
only' selected the man with the most
marks. Nobody was responsible.
What, then, beoame of the presi-
deute responsibility tor tho proper
oonduct of the government. The
act, iu Mr. Vance’s opinion, waH
wholly unconstitutional, and in vol
untarily submitting to its provisions,
the president was surrendering his
prerogative, which it was his duty
to proti ot. The people, by the elto
tion of 1884, had declared for a
change of officers in this ropublio,
but their will had not beon respec
ted. The president had bound him
self, not only by the law itself, but
by tbe extra legal promist s to ex
tend the spirit of the luw to officers
never contemplated by it. The re
sult was that political enemies and
spies surrounded every administra
tive offioer. This was Irving to serve
the Lord, with the devil for an ac
tive partner. The whole thing was
a humbug, and in partial proof he
read an advertisement offering, for
ten cents, to sapply a series of ex
amination questions, which would
qualify anybody to pass civil service
examinations. The civil service law
was au attempt of tbe republican
waul to borrow $5,000." "Well,
have you got a gilt edge security ?
wjiat can you give me ? ’ “No ; I
have do security i)t all, but I am a
Presbvteriau." "01 O 1 you are
what?" "I* am a Presbyterian.’’
“My I my! my ! you oau’t borrow
my'money on that nrouud here.-’ 1
Laughter) Another goes andsAys,
“1 am a Methodist." "You are fl
shat?” "I am a Methodist." "O.
you can’t borrow auy money on that
commodity round here."
Go to your merchant 'And try to
get him to credit you on yimr relig
ion, He will say, "Law, just come
is here ; let ine show you uow mem
bers of the church have swindle^
me. My I my ! I oan’t. let you
have any money on.your Methodism,
no how ; that is not worth a cent in
this community."
Law! Law! brother; you talk!
about Bob Ingersoll ; he haa never
been any more in my way in getting
men to Christ than a broom stalk.
Bob don t get in the way ; no, bat I
will tell who does ; it ia these dis
honest members 6f the cboroh —
There is hardly au old sinner in this
town that sotite one, n member of
some church iu the town, has not
got to have a talk with him about
some business transaction ; and ov-
ery time you prench Christ to that
old i inner, he looks at you and says,
See tbut old carcass ; he is a mem

make him settle np with me and
then I will be religious " Therp is

Mr. George Hearst, who has been
appointed by Governor Stonem
.. -ft —
to represent California in the uni
ted States Senate in the plaoe of the
lately deceased Senator Miller, hae
bad an eventful history. He went
to California across the plains in
1850, and commenced as a common
laborer in the tnineB. Finally, be
made some money aud formed a
partnership with Hoggin & Tevis,
and tbe firm has amassed a large
fortune in jumping and buying min
ing claims. ,Tliey now own one of
the laigest aud most profitable
mines in Butte City, M. T., and alp
mines in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon,
Mexico, Idaho and California. Mr.
Hearst is considered the most ex
pert prospector on tbe Pacific coast,
and his judgment in regard to a
mine has uever yet been , at fault.
He is a tali, well-formed man about
55 years. He was a candidate for
Governor of California in 1882, -bat
Gen. Stonemau seoured tbe nomina
tion from the Sau Jose Convention
and was elected. At tbe time of
Senator Stanford’s election in 1885
Mr. Hearst received the compli
mentary votes of the Democrats
He is a very . wealthy man and
1 am down 'on homesteads, I am
down ou bankrupt inws, I am dowu
on All that thing. "Ah,” yon say.
“that won’t do. Why you would
leave a man without a dollar-iu tbe
world." God bless you, I have bosn
left there many a time myself. Get
the idea? M any a time I have been
left without a ‘dollar id thAwoVtd
and had a wife and four children to' f,
look after,, too, and not a dollar in

It is downright honesty, aud 1

Righteous. 1 don’t believe in your

God bless you, brother, 1 have been

in a poor, starving church down in
Georgia, men who eould have held
me up said they would have more
confidence in the fellow who would
pay his debts; and my precious wife,
though raised far above the plane,
was doing her own cooking, her own
ironing, and all her own housework,
and 1 waa cutting ber wood, and do
ing everything 1 could for ber; and
out of' my poor meagre salary 1 saw
my wife reach tbe poiut whera she
did’ut have a good dress to wear to
save ber life, and 1 diJ’nt have a
whole coat to my nnm -, but 1 would
go aud pay $2 50 at a time on a
note; and; thank God, I paid tbe
last dollar—100 cents on a dollar.
[Applause.] And yon can do It,
IOo,If you try. If you can pay your
debts, and you don't pay them, Go(l
hill put you in boll for it, and you
need not month us here on any oth
er proposition. [Applause.] , Now,
if you aannot pay one hundred
cents, pay a copper cent. Do your
best and pay every niokei you oan,
and God .will bless you and take you
to Heaven, no doubt. But hie don’t
take those,people to Heaven in debt,
when they, could pay their debts and
would not. Righteous.
