The political journals abound In dis
sertations and diatribes on the subject
OF our Civil Serve and its reform. This
branch OF our governmental service,
though originally designed to be the
simplest, is probably the most cumbrous
and confused of any in the world. 1t is
not only without symmetry, but almos t
without system. The provisioDs'for its
organization, as found upon the statute
books, are generally well devised and
clearly set forth; but in its practical
workings the sy stem as prescribed can
scarcely be found.
In every other branch of the publicsery-
ice only trained officials, men educated to
the service, are entrusted with its prac-
tical duties. In the civil service, previ-
Gus training, SO far from being the rule
is found as the rarest exception, among
its officials. In this department the ap-
sponsible offices with the duties OF
which the appointees are absolutely ig-
norant up to the time of taking control;
and should they fortunately possess the
capacity to acquire in due time prac-
tical knowledge of the duties required,
and have acquired such knowledge, they
are probably removed, and others
equally ignorant placed in their stead.
We grant that an intelligent American
Can turn his hand to the business of
ofice-holding as readily as to any other
line OF business which he has to learn

must be acquired before the official can
properly render his full duty TO the pub
lie by whom he is employed and paid.
The doctrine of "rotation in office"
though a favorite among polit clans and
ofiee-seekers, is mischieyous theory in
it's effects. That there should be life.
long tenures to office would doubtless be
inexpedient; and yet such tenures are
secured where the aim. is to render the
official independent in the discharge Of
his functions. The mischief arising
from the rotation demanded, proceeds
from the rapidity with which the rota-
tisn must proceed in order to meet po.
liticaI and partisan requirements. The
public service is thus made secondary

CAN any one explain how Tom English
got out of the WOrk-house in time to
serve as Judge i'll the Sixth Ward at
the recent Democratic primary election?
He was sent up for thirty days and with
a fine Of 500 and under bond Of $500 to
keep the peace for year. He had only
served his days when he was needed in
the political field. Democrats who are
not Of the ring are anxious to know to
whom they are indebted for the pres
ence of this one OF their late managers.
Was his fine paid, and if 80, by whom,
and who went on his bond?
