CONGRESSIONAL hscoMMsNDArroas.

During the debate On the Civil Service
reform bill in the House on Wednesday,
Morgan of Alabama offered an amendment
providing that no recommendation
" from Senator or Representative
"should be considered by any person max.
"ing an appointment unless it had been
previously asked, in writing, by one or
+" more of the examiners" Whereupon
Hoar of Massachusetts, suggested that as
" the examination was to be competitive
the amendment had better prohibit ali
"such recommendations" And Mr. Hoar
was right. 1t would be most absurd and
most Inconsistent to leave any loopholes
for the insertion of Congressional influence,
if we are to have Civil Service reform.
No examiner could by any possibility
have any business to ask Senator or Con.
gresham for Recommendation. Iu
competitive examinations the candidates
are iadged By their individual work, and
by that alone. II an examiner should un-
der any circumstances ask Congressman
to send him a recommendation, it would
be prinGa .ttcie evidence that that examiner
was corrupt. The very essence of COM
petitive examinations is the doing away
with all secondary and outside in
fuence. The examiners neither know
nor care who the candidates are. All
they have to Go is to pass upon their work.
Every candidate is thus made self.depend.
ent, and when the examinations are over
all the candidates must be listed as i'm.
partially as possible and take their turn in
obtaining appointments. tis obvious that
when once the public service has been filed
in this way it will be some time before
there ara any considerable vacancies again.
Supposing the apDointees to be ordinarily
competent, the majority of them would
hold office permanently. But it is clear
thatthere canno. be any provision of the kind
proposed by Morgan. His argument in favor
of extending the competitive system be-
yond the lowest grade of clerkships appears
to be more reasonable. There should be
some provision of that kind, though
with system of promotion from the lower
grades it is perhaps difficult to make such
an arrangement. As regards the recon.
mendations, however, there is only one
thing to be done, and that is to prohibit
them altogether and we have no doubt
that if this were once done Congress would
experience immense relief

ists that they love Anarchy for its own
sake. They are not Socialists or Com

to alleviate the condition of the masses.
They have but one article of faith, and that

to action by the introduction of dynamite
cartridges in places of public resort, re-
luctantly concluded to arrest the more
notorious offenders. What will be done
with Krapotkine, now that he has been
taken into custody, is a somewhat difficult
question. It is at present stated that ne

WASHINGTON, December 13, 1882.
The amount of work done by Congress in
these nine days makes creditable show
ing. 1t is seldom that anything worth
speaking of is accomplished before the
holiday recess. We have always too many
lswyers in Congress, for one thing, and the
policy of the legal riind is delay. Bat
the outgoing majority are thoroughly
alarmed about the popular verdict for 1884,
and as they have only twelve weeks more
to make record in, there ia danger that
they will now overdo the thing In their
anxiety to have early sessions they have
come, near crowding the committee work,
which usually occupies the hours from 10
to y, into chaos, and the work done in
committee is the basis of all important
legislation in either House. Hasty, incor-
plete or ill-censidered work there, shows
in tedious and wrangling debates in open
session, or in the needless passage of
clumsy laws, which have to be repealed by
a new Congress. Ia their zeal to cut down
expenses they have, it is feared,

The peseri Land A-t.

The Helena Herald thus gives d Mon tana view Of the nuch-abuscd law to provide for the reclamation of desert land:
 We had occasslon recently to remark l that there was little cause fer any one to complain on the part of the Government Tor be ng imposed upon under the Dcs- ert Act, as the United States Treasury IS receiving more money under this Act than any other since the Government mad an existence.
 The Bakersfield Californian says of the working Of the law in Kern county. General Rosecrans has introduced a bill into the House to extend the time for making final proofs and payment in des- ert entries. This bill is no more than an act of justice t0 those who have made entries under the Act in good faith. and ought to pass. Experience has shown that, with all thc energy that can be em- ployed, aided by the resources of un- limited capital, # has been impossible. ID some cases, t. effect reclamations within inc time allowed by the law. as it now stands. In Hn extensive desert like the one being reclaimed in this vicinity. the absorption of water Is so great that many years must elapse before it can ind its way into the irrigating system of each quarter section of claims located. and the land be reclaimed under a prop CT construction Of the law. Every req. sonable opportunity should be given those who have entered upon the re- clamation of desert lands with honest intentions and in good faith.

GOVERNOR TRITLE

It is now a fixed fact that Hon. F. A. Tritle IS to be the next governor of this Territory. While the CITIZEN favored appointment of some resident of the Territory and supported the Hon. J. J. Gosper as the man most generally &C., ceptable to the people, still we can say that no appointment from outside of the Territory could possibly have been more satisfactory. In fact we can hardly call this appointment from outside, for Mir. Tritle is already largely identified with us III interest, and we have positive in- formation of his intention to take up his residence in this city, whether he re- ceived this appointment or not. MT. Tritle IS a mining man of large expe- rience and he IS thoroughly posted on the resources of this Territory. He is a gentleman of experience in public af- fairs and fully alive to the needs of new and rapidly developing country. We expect from the hands of the new gov ernOr an entirely satisfactory admins tration. Coming to the gubernatorial office just at this time will link his name with the beginning of the bright est days in Arizona's history, and We think he will so administer the affairs of state and so use his influence, both pri- yate and official, that the people will have no cause to regret the Presidents action in nominating Mir. Tritle for Gov ernor of Arizona.

THE year 1881 Is without a precedent
 almost in our history as far as accessions to our population from foreign emigra- tion Is concerned The Chief Of the
 Bureau of Statistics reports that the total number of immigrants arrived dur ing the year ended December 3l. 1881, as far as reported, was 7I6,S6S. or this number there arrived from Germany 24s, s,323; England and Wales, 77,75O; Ire land, 70,S96; Scotland, 1G,44l; Dominion of Canada, 94,l59; Austria, l9667; Nor way, 26,S24; Sweden, 55,S0j; China, 20,- 62S; all other countries, SG,375 It Is probable that returns yet to be received will show the total number of immi- grants arrived during the last calendar year to have been about 190Dl Ad- vices from abroad indicate that the in- flux the present year will be fully as large if not larger than last years. Or the population coming to our shores this year, the southwest wIll receive a much greater portion than heretofore. The to the northwest has been forced by the far seeing policy of the great railroad magnates who desire to have the country through which they are building settled Up. The new trans continental line will now be able to offer unusual advantages CT cheap transporta- tion to this section of the country. If they are able to carry out their plans and realize their expectations the south west will settle mp much more rapidly than heretofore.

lT is quite evident that the gas com pany means business from the way they are crowding the work of construction. They now have force of more than tifty men employed in laying mains and Ila- M ~ecting the works. As will be seen by cTfs, advertisement elsewhere, they are
 " prepared to lay service pipes in buildings and await the lighting up Of Cltheir works for the payment-say about oI April lst. Mir. Elmore informs us that t. they VI make gas of twenty-eight or I5t;Ii:,., idle power. the same as is sup Damorraf. ale Baldwin and Palace hotels at ger of the Plcisco, and also the cities of gentlemen San Diego and San Bernardino rnia, where similar works have ..I,o t-;I. instructed hy this company. -.- -.~..iiaTy commercial gas of the diff ferent cities of the United States is but fifteen to sixteen candle power, leaving a large margin in favor of this gas. By the ordinary gas burner from five to six feet of gas per hour is consumed. while the burners furnished by this company uses from three to four feet. consequent ly this gas at even S7 per thousand would equal the ordinary article at S45O, the prevailing price in Los Angeles, the nearest place where commercial gas is :, made. In Virginia City, Carson and Reno, Nevada, and Grass Valley and Nevada City in California, the commer- cial gas rates from S6 to SS per thous- and. The price of gas in this city has not yet been established, but it will be announced so soon as the freight rates are arranged with the railroad company If is stated, however, that the gas will not cost consumers much if any more than coal oil for the same amount of light

A WAsHINGToS dispatch to the New
 York Herald says m relation to General Carr's arrest, that "the reports tele- graphed here recently from the west to the effect that General Carr, of the Sixth Cavalry, has been put under ar- rest by order of the President, is said by General Cars friends to be incorrect. He was arrested by order of General WillcoX, his department commander, for alleged disrespect and disobedience of orders. His friends here understand that the arrest is an outcome of personal feeling between General Carr and Ger eral WillcoX, growing out Of the criti- cisms in the Arizona papers of the lat ter's management of the Apache cam paign. General Carr telegraphs his friends that he desires the fullest inves- tigation." The press of the Territory, notably the CITIZEN. defended General Wilcox against charges of Incompetent cy until his utter failure was patent to every one. The people of Arizona are much more bitter in their danunciations than the press. Willcox's treatment of Carr is also a matter of much unfavora- ble comment.

TIE case of the Papago Indians arrest cd ou charge Of stealing cattle from the ranches near the reservation is attract ing considerable attent on. The gov ernment has just used force to rid their reservation of trespassers, and now the government wards are charged with a serious crime, and the circumstantial evidence is very strong against them. The ranchers on the Santa Cruz do not propose to be put under contribution either by white or red cowboys and have appealed to the courts for protection. Two of the accused Indians have been bound over by Judge Meyers to await the action of the grand jury, and several others will probably share tLe same fate. The CITIZEN believes in protecting the Papagos in tine full enjoyment of all their rights. but they must respect the rights Of property or be made to suffer the penalties of the law. The time has come when infractions of the law by white or rcd criminals must not be pass ed over.
