New, I de net mea i te say that all this
vast el iff rer.ce is du - U liiechauge iu tlu tlu
mede of reconstituting the civil seiviee
that took place iu 1853, hut the coinci
dence as t j time and circumstances is ce.
tainly tee matked aud suiprising net l
have a distinct lelat'enship te that ciiaug-;
and that a very large pai t of the great d'H
feieticc was due te the ehature admits of
no sort of doubt whatever. Our own e-v
pciience under the "spoils" system,
when contrasted with the British expjiioace
under theirge-as you please aftcr-yeu get
in o-efiice system confirms this. Between
1807 and 1881 the actual payments out of
the British exehecquer ler tiie eidin iry
expeiiditmcs mounted up from $:i:l 000,
000 in the fei mer year te 110, 000, 000 in
the latter, while the actual piymcnts
out. of the United States treasury for the
erdinaiy expenditures ran down fmra
S.'i57,00"e,000 in 1807 te $201,000,000 in 1881,
an inciease in the ene instance of $33,000 -000
and a cccieasc in the ether of $87,000,
000. The British have every reason te be
thankful that under their goas-yeu please
after yeu-gct into officesystcm,theiraffairs
are no worse than they arc ; but I am
willing te admit, at the fame time, that,
uuder our system, we ought te have done
distinctly better ; and 1 de net doubt that
we would have done better if the civil
sei vice were net stagnated by tee long
continuance in the same hands.
Jehn Neblo, in his well-known volume
en Britih fiscal legislaten between 1812
and 1803, tries te account for the extraor
dinary enlargement of the public expend i -tmes
after 1833 by attributing them te
the inlluenee of the Russian war. That
war, he says, beget in the government, de
partmeuts a spiiit of extravagance which
had involved the country iu what he calls
" enormous and profligate expenditures."
If it really was the influence of the Rus
sian war that beget the spirit of extrava
gance in the government departments
eemplained of by Mr. Neble, the influence
of that war has certainly developed a sui
prising tenacity and extension, for the
" profligate and enormous expenditures"
have gene en at an accelerating pace, till
the Londen 2'imes, within three weeks,
has been moved te say, in contrasting the
expendituies of 1841 with theso of 1892,
that there has been an increase out of all
proportion te the increase of population,
and commends this " pregnant fact " te
the " attention of statesmru, irrespective
of party." And suiely the competitive
system ought te show some influence in
promoting public economy semen lieic ;
but it fails, for while the local expendi
ture for the United States, state and
municipal, lias net in the last ten years
increased in a proportion beyond the in
crease of population, the growth, of local
expenditure in Great Britain has been
largely in excess, and while the local
indebtedness of the United States has
been increased in ten years less that thirty
per cent., the increase in the local debts
of Great Britain in ten yeais has been
nearly seventy per cent.
Are these differences accidental only ?
Ne man of sense will say se. But if we
admit them te be such, it is geed politics
te stick te the accidents that cost the
least money. But they are net accidental,
and if you will recall that outside of the
fixed charges of government there is net
a dollar of the civil expenditure which is
net both contracted and paid by the civil
service, you will see the significance of at
least a very large part of the increased
expense of the British public establish
ment. "Where there is no responsibility
there is no economy, and the fatal defect
of the Euglish competitive examination
system is that there is no responsibility te
the public en the part of its individual
members. la the absence of peisenal te-spc:i-.ibility
that careful sup.iivisien of
outlay which, iu public lite no less than in
piivate life, is necessary te limit expendi
ture within the nairewist bounds, is net
likely te be' very efficiently exercised.
Under the " spoils "' system, en the con
trary, the personal lcspensibility of each
individual member of the servle is a part
of the general responsibility of the whole
service. Under our " spoils " system the
civil service is constantly in tee eye of
the public, and this constant public OVi'r
sight undoubtedly operates in restraint
of extravagance. Theio is no doubt
about it.

New, if I "bad time te go en, and you
had patience te listen, I might institute
further comparisons te show the greater
efficiency aud economy of our " spoils "
establishment. I might de this conclu
sively as te our postellice service. But
the actual fact is that, under the patent j
competitive exammatiou-geas-you-pleaso-after
yeu-gct iute office system of Great
Britain, which is that of the Pendleton
bill, it takes at least four and prebabiy
five officials te de the same work that s
done by three Americans brought into
office under our " spoils " system.
The explanation is very simple. TLe
"spoils" in America arc usually appor
tioned among the mere active and ener
getic meu of the party in power. This is
the necessity of the system and it could
net exist otherwise. Usually these are
men net rnly of mere thau ordinary ac
tivity and eucigy, but they ara men fully
up te the standard of intelligence- and
geueral business capacity required
in the public seiviee. On the etlur
hand, under the competitive examina
tion go -as you-please system, the success
ful candidate is he who can best command
his memory, and wiie has self-possession
sufficient te stand the struggle with the
examiner. Once in office, lie is safe for
life, aud need net worry about public
economy. And just in the proportion
that you diminish the individual efficiency
of the members of a public service, just
in that propeition you make necessity for
additional nmmbers of persons te de the
same work. This is what is the matter
with, the British civil service at this very
moment.

Tne bleed is the foundation of life,
it circulates through every part of the
body, and unless it is pure and rich,
geed health is impossible. If disease
has entered the system the only sure
and quick way te drive it out is te
purify anil enrich the bleed.
These simple facts are well known,
and the highest medical authorities
agree that mUtiny but iron will restore
the bleed te its natural condition ;
and also that all the iron preparations
hitherto made blacken the teeih, cause
headache, and are othcrwise injurious.
Brown'.-. Iren Bitters wili thorough
ly and quickly assimilate with the
bleed, purifying ad strengthening
it, aud thus drive disease fiem any
pait of the .system, aud it will net
blacken the teeth, cause headache or
constipation, and is positively net in in
juiieus. Saveel His Child.

"WaricJniaker's.
Silk novelties innumerable
and indescribable. Everything
that ladies or dressmakers have
occasion for in ntatching, deco
rating, combining. What we
are remarkable for, mere than
for anything else in silks, is va
riety ; or, at least, Ave are re
puted se. Yeu hear it said by
everybedy: "If you want te
match anything, or find a rar
silk, even an unexpectable one,
go te Wanamaker's."
The ether peculiarity diat
everybody expects te find here
is less pleasant te speak of;
lower prices. We put it second,
because there are people who
don't credit us with lower
prices. Still, we imagine that
if one should assert the con
trary, almost everybody in Phil
adelphia would believe it.
Oftener we speak of ether
aspects of our trade ; aspects
less obvious or less recognized.
It is well occasionally te give
old news.
Noxt-eutMr circle, south entrance, te nitilii

Warm skirts for ladies, and
leggings for ladies, girls and lit
tle girls. The warm skirts are
satin, satin-and-cloth, satin-and-felt,
satin-and -Italian -cloth, and
Italian, all quilted; cloth, flannel
and felt prettily trimmped, net
quilted, warm enough without.
The leggings are all sorts ; one
very useful and fairly pretty
sort, woven, at two-thirds value,
25 te 65 cents.
West of seu th entrance te main building.
Furs have te be thought of.
We're busy enough as te mak
ing. If we advertise at all, we
ought te say what will net op
press us with loe much making.
Perhaps this it is. A great many
seal coats and fur-lined circu
lars are ready-made. Mere
sizes are ready-made hen: than
anybody expects; especially the
unexpected sizes. Ready-made
work we can make in In! v.
Why shouldn't we make all the
shapes and siz:.- ix-ady-m.nl".?

Weel serge embroidered with
sitk dots that ought te sell for
$1.50 no that isn't the way te
put it; it ought te sell according
te our theory, for just as little
as we can afford ; and that is 75
cents.
Loek out for such new. It's
time for ever-buying and all
sorts of mistakes te show them
selves. We try te keep ready
te turn ether folk's mistakes te
account for ourselves and for
you.
