New-York tribune., 1878-11-09

Professor John F. Weir, of Yale College,
urges a second time in a letter printed on
another page, his proposal TO secure greater
efficiency in the Civil Service, by institut-
ing schools for specific training in the
duties of public officers and by establish
ing fixed grades for promotion. Indeed,
Professor Weir's plan is not aimed simply at
corruption in Government Offices, but Is de-
signed, as he says, to give the public
service the dignity of a profession, and
TO insure efficiency in all its depart
ments His chief examples are the new
School of Political Science in France,
and our own West Point Academy. His praise
of the latter, it should be remarked, is Impair
tial; as 1t is a mistake to suppose that he is
a graduate of West Point.
1t is conceded by London journal, well
known for its good will toward this country,
that Secretary Evarts's case has some force
in 1t, and that our right of fishing was ac-
Quired before the local law, from which the
dispute springs, was passed. In view of these
statements it is unaccOuntable that the same
Journal should fear that the date fixed for
the payment Of the Halifax Award "will be
"long past before the American Government
care convinced of the error of their conten-
"tlon." II Mr.. Evarts's case is strong and
eur rights have been infringsd by law passed

Opinions on Biai mes Speech.

Ran Tucker, Of Virginia, has tins tO
say Of the speech; IF he Blaine
means 10 say simply that the carrying of
elections by fraud and violence is wrong
and ought 10 be stopped, why all decent
men agree with him, Of course, lie
need not have got up in the senate to
say that. But il he means tn say that a
majority OF the Southern Districts were
not carried by the Democratic party, he
says what is not true. But, Of course,
his speech was u tissue Of casuistry.
Why, take his statement that IS 5,0tS0
white voters at the South are a. potent
a. 10000 white voters in the North.
That IL not true. For example
the 10000 who voted for Eugene
Hale failed 10 elect him; hut the indi-
vidual power was ~ great a. tina, oi
those who elected the other man. Just
20 IL Is with Us. The simple faet Of the
matter IL that we are in majority in
our districts, and 81 course minority
| can not elect with us any more than II
can In Mr.. Hale's district" said Mr.
| Robins, OF North Carolina: 81 think
Mr.. Blaine has made political mistake.
Money, Of Pennsylvania, ismore graph
ic. He says: "Mr. Blaine has gons
into an old graveyard, snatehed up ar
old cafiaser, and tied ii around his neck
Now he will have 10 wear it, and Il vii
hurt him, for the people are tired of tn
