wThurIow Weed, the veteran old
style politician of New York, has writ
ten long letter in which he attempts
to ridicule civil service reform. The
old gentlemen utters a good deal of
commonplace nonsense based upon his
experience and observation, but says
not single word to prove that the re-
form would not on the whole give ns n
far better set of officials than the prac-
tice of allowing congressman and scna-
tors to peddle out the offices to their
wire pullers and toadies. A fair sam
pie of Mr.. Weeds style of argument is
seen in his assertion that the questions
in civil service examination would
have shat out President Jackson, Tay-
lor and Lincoln from the civil service
while sundry rascals named by him
v,.i1 i---- --.-i-.1 HIGH rh;s nnornts
to saying that on all average men
ofsmall general information and schol-
arship make more efficient and honest
officials than educated men. Mr.. Weed
thinks the reform is certain to break up
the Republican party. The first
thought of almost any sensible man on
hearing such an assertion would be, if
the Republican party is no longer the
party of reform and progress it is time
for it to be broken up. A party is valua.

ferent species of influences which hold
the majority of the voters of tho coun-
try to the Republican organization.
But if the Republican bosses and mana
gers undertake to hold back the party
from The reforms which 1t demands, and
to identify it with the retention of old
and glaring abuses, they will find that
that is the policy which will break up
the party. Party ties are growing very
loose in these days. No party can live
on its past. 1t must go forward. Ii it
is maintained at standstill by its lead
ers, the voters will on the first oppor-
tunity, leave it for any organization
which they can be brought TO believe is
honestly seeking needed reforms. All
such arguments as Thurlow Weeds,
every sneer at civil service and other
reforms by the party papers, simply
disgust the average honest voter,
weaken his party allegiance, and
make him ready TO join the first party
of reform which may arise.

~Coi. Joyce thinks that when this
district gets a good congressman it
ought to keep him. II seems as though
the requirements OF consistency would
be better observed by him If he acted
on the same principle with reference
TO the postmasterships which he thinks
he owns in the district. But he does
not seem to hesitate to turn out good
postmaster, if he can, whenever he ex-
poets to get "worker" in the new in
cumbent.

in the Republican party Is that it Is

bosses. This is an insult to the intell-

large section of the party. The masses
of the party are neither blind nor fools,

kicking over every corrupt machine
which now tries to sway them.
