ANOTHER BAD LANDMARK,

Bayne OF Pennsylvania moved an appro-
priation of S25, 900 the other day, in the
House, to enable the President to carry out
the provisions of the United States stat
ute providing that applicants for positions
in the civil service shall undergo an exam
nation and the House rejected the prop
osition. This vote can only be interpreted
in one way. 1t is bold and shameless
declaration to the effect that the House will
not take any steps to give vitality to the
law which it passed merely as sop to pub
lie opinion. The vote rejecting Bayne's
motion was in fact vote in favor OF the
spoils system. Every man who voted
against it thereby declared himself opposed
to an efficient Civil Service, and in favor of
maintaining the demoralizing, corrupt and
inefficient system of political appointments
which now obtains. 1t is fortunate for the
Republican party that the Democracy is as
untrustworthy as itself on the question of
Civil Service reform. Only this fact has
thus far saved it from the natural penalties
of its action. But one of these DAYS a
party may rise which the public will be
ready to confde in on this issue, and should
that happen the Republican party will find
their Congressional record on Civil Service
reform exceedingly embarrassing.

HUBBELL TO CURTIS,

Hubbell still struggles to defend the
Congressional Committee for asking the
office-holders to pay political assessments,
but his arguments are very irrelevant and
feeble. He has in fact but two arguments.
The first is that an office. holder ought to
be as free to pay political assessments as is
a non-office- holder. The second is that
political assessments are necessary to de-
feat Southern bulldozing and ballot-bo1
stufing. This of course is an attempt to
bring the bloody shirt into the discus
sion, and it is really very funny. But Hub
BELLS arguments are easily overthrown. As
regards the first it is plain that the Office
holder and the non-offce. do not
occupy the same position. When the latter
is asked to give money for partisan pur-
poses he is perfectly free to use his own
Judgment. When the former is asked to
