The New Civil Service Order.

The presidential order requiring federal
officeholders to abstain from all partici-
patton in politics under penalty of dismiss-
al seems to be more pleasant IN theory
than practice. 1t had a direct bearing
upon the acts of certain Iowa officials
who participated in the Des Moines con
vention and under q strict Interpretation
of the order they should have been re-
moved from office. Executive clemency
has, however, been extended to them be-
cause, the president says, they were elect
ed to the positions Of delegates before
the order was issued, though the acts
prohibited in the manifesto occurred af-
ter its promulgation. This being the
ruling of the president IN a particular

ture and if there is any consistency in
administrative sdoings it will relieve off
Gals ell over the country from the humil-
iation OF resigning psositionsupon commit
tees which they may happen to hold.
Being CHOSEN TO those positions before the
order was issued, they, like their Iowa
brethren, should be permitted to perform
the harmless political duties deyolving
upon them until their terms of office as
members OF such committees shall have
expired. The decision in the Iowa case
is q loop hole through which the presi-
dent will want to crawl when the effect
of the practical workings of his order be-
gins to dawn upon him.
The Wisconsin case has developed an
sA other concession ON the part of the
administration which indicates a desire
to avoid meeting sauarely the issue. On
the republican committee of that state are
five postmastcrs and Postmaster Hayes is
its chief manager. As this committee
alone is empowered to call the state con-
vention Mr.. Keyes wrote TIE department
asking what would be the result should
the five unfortunates proceed to perform
their political duty. The postmaster
general replied that they have PERMISSION

from any participation in the proceeding

session afterwards confirmed the acton of

This whole business has an aspect of

under q contemplation of the past decla

him as nothing in deciding upon the
claims of men for Office. All he required

political matters. Such was the spirit of

The Danger Ahead

The political uncertainty created by
the conspiracy to count in Rutherford B.
Hays as President has wrought enor-
nous damage to material interests in
this country. The destruction of bust
ness and property which 1t has already
caused has been estimated at one thou
sand millions of dollars; but if it is con-
tinued, it will ere long have to be reck-
oned by larger figures
If Hayes should be put into the
White House by the means which have
been prepared and announced for the
purpose, by making the President of the
Senate tina sole arbiter of the electoral
votes, and by putting down the House oil
Represen tatiVes with military force, one
of the early results would be the failure
of more than half the business firms il
the country, with the stOppage of al
kinds of industry, the pauperism o
| laboring people, universal panic, and
misery incalculable among every class o
the population.
Such would be among the first fruit
of making a President by the Returning
Boards in the South and fraud and vic
lence In Washington.
The sure way to avoid these evils Is t
