George William Curtis, president xi the National Civil Service. Reform League, delivered some striking opinions in bit annual ad dress to the meeting of the- league heie to-day. He said : It is now possible to udge correctly the coarse. of President Cleveland's administration in regard to civil service reform, and I regret to say that daring the two years and five months of the administration's existence, while reform law has been respected j within a limited range, and while there I . I are unquestionable and encouraging signs of progress, ret according to infor mation undoubtedly authentic, there has been no very significant change in civil service. Substantially the whole force of the government tmitlons have been 1 changed, barely enough experienced men being retained to allow the regular trans- action of the public business. Whtle this result wss the desire and I expectation of a large and important part I of the president's supporters at the polls, I Curtis could not believe it wss desired or I anticipated by the intelligent citizens of the country. If persistent pressure for spoils bad been resisted firmly and no change toler ated bevond an equitable division be tween the parties that might have been accepted as a permissible compromise under difficult circumstances. Mr. Cur tis believed the reform system would have been strongly entrenched in poblic approval ; that at the end of the second term of the administration which estab lished it, no six ceeding party or president wouia venture to tntenere. it r resident Cleveland should declare that the gen eral political reconstruction that had taken place was due to a change of con viction on his part in lavorot tne spoils system, be would be abandoned by so large a body of citizens sa to bring his re-election into serious peril. The civil service reform league, however, believed the president to be uprightly dealing with a vast and complicated range of duties ; he had been unable to accom- Cish all he would have done. The acme must nevertheless emphatically declare that it does not regard the admin istration, though worthy of respect and confidence, for many reasons or in any strict sense of the word a civil service re form administration. WASHIXGTOX'a WATER SCPPLT. Citlseas Call Upaa the Prssldeat to Abats Abaaoa Coaaoetod Thorowlta. WAsuncoTOX, Ang. 3. At a meeting of citizens of the District of Columbia, held last night, resolutions were adopted call ing on the president to remove the com missioners of the district. After reciting in a preamble that it has been sbown that great irregularities, abuse of power and misappropriation of public money exists in the management of the district government, the resolutions urge that it is time our outraged people remove the commissioners for the following, among other, reasons : Because tbey have betrayed the trust imposed on them by refusing to make public admitted defalcations in the water department ; because they have imposed upon congress by making fraudulent esti mates for new water mains ; because they have clouded titles to a large amount of real estate by manufacturing and charg ing up against it bogus water-main asse menta. in order to make a more favora ble showing of the long-defrauded water fund, and became they have used public funds for private purposes as shown by vouchers on file in the U. 8. treasury. A committee was appointed to present the resolutions to the president. At the meeting 100 citixens of the District of Columbia, consisting of representative citizens, were chosen to look after the city's welfare. Resolutions were adopted calling on the preaident to cause a thorough investiga tion to be instituted in the affairs of the water department from 1871 to the pres ent time, with a view oi ascertaining an the facts connected with the re portal de falcations in the water bureau. They also urge that the engineer officer st present in charge of the water depart ment be removed, and that either lien Meigs or Col. Casey be detailed to take charge of the work.

Here is the spelling reformer's latest communication: 4 "The English spelling is the worst in the wurld ; millions of years ar wasted by esch generation in learning it. Millions of dollars ar wasted each year in printing and writing silent letters. The Ameri can Philological association and the lead ing scholars of the world support the Spelling Keform association in recom mending the following : "Ten words Thro, thru, wisht, cata log, definit, hav, gard, ar. r ive rules use I for ph sounded as f, as in aliabet, fan torn, filosophy, tele graf , etc. 2. Use t for d or ed final sounded as t, as in stopt, puft, lockt, crost.pusbt, picbt, flxt. etc. 3. Drop a from digraf ea sounded as e short, as in bretn, belth, sted, etc. 4. Drop silent e final ia a short syllable, as in giv, hay. forbad, hostil, infinit, sctiv. etc 6. When a word ends with a double letter, omit the last, as in eb ad, staf, eg, shal, wil, tel. etc." It will probably be millions of years before such a preposterous wsy of spell- ng as the above shall come into popular favor.
