Civil snrxica Reform.

We congratulate the democratic party, and
especially the Committee on Civil Service
Reform, presided over by that distinguished,
fair-minded man and thoroughly reformed
statesman, Mr. Whitehouse, that it has so i'm
portant a field before it. If civil service
means anything at al it is that honest men
should be kept in the positions they fill
creditably, that old and faithful public
servants should be recognized, and that in
the clerical department of q body like the
House honorable officers should not be re-
moved for political reasons. This certainly
was what we learned from the democratic
party on the stump during the last cam
paign. If there is any truth in
these declarations it is their duty to inquire
at once into the appointments that have re-
Gently taken place in the House. From what
we can learn of these appointments men
who have served the House for years, men of
capacity and integrity, have been suddenly
turned out of their clerkships to make room
for squad of ex-Congressmen and political
adventurers.
We do not now see how the democrats can
refuse to look into these charges. The coun-
try will watch jealously the action of the
majority in every way, and when its speakers
talk of civil service reform after this exhibition
we are afraid they will be listened to with
impatience and incredulity. BY all means
let the Civil Service Committee take up this
question of the House appointments. Let il
find out how many men have been removed
from Office and how long those who have
been removed were in the service of the gov
ernment, and the causes of their removal and
the names of the Congressman who urged
their SUCCESSORS.
The New York herald., 1875-12-31

the Congress they have just sent to Wash
ington to treat them, in an annual
Message, to a lot Of riddles, to play
upon their apprehensions and to put
of their inquiries as impertinences.
We trust the House Of Representatives
will, as soon as il meets, demand of the
President the information which he ought to
have given it in the annual Message ; the
nature Of his demands upon Spain the rea-
sons for the sudden outfit and assembling of
our fleet at 50 great supposed expense and
the present condition of the Spanish nego-
tiations. What the country loses in stag
nation and the inevitable interruption
to commerce. consequent upon several
months of such silly mystery as the
President has hidden the Spanish nego-
tiations in, would make a sum so large that
it would buy Cuba outright. War is not the
costliest thing for a nation. The stagnation
caused by prolonged apprehensions of hos
tilities may cost people more than war /;
and such mystery as we complain OF may,
after all preliminary losses, plunge us into
war from which frankness toward the peo-
pie would save us.
