WAYNE MACVEAGH is known as man
of few but incisive words. At the annual
meeting Of the Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation, in Philadelphia, last week, he
dwclt directly with the action of our public
men on this great question. When Presi-
dent Hayes was pat to the practical test of
reform in the civil service he failed, he said,
by allowing Sherman of his cabinet, to try
to elect himself President, in using the
Treasury department. Whatever of hope
there was in Garfeld's administration was
cut short by GuiteaH's bullet. Arthur, as
a trained politician, is the same he says,
in the Presidents chair as he was in the
New York Custom House, and allows the
letter carriers and other government en-
ployes to take part in local politics. He
says that men rarely change their politi-
cal training after they arrive at his age
and we cannot expect better of him than
an advocate of the spoils systom and az
opponent Of the civil service reform
Such is Wayne MacNca.l'a opinion

Aue to meet the wants of the government
and provide for the gradual payment of
the public debt" Hs is for a tariff for

Commission Bill. Senator BayaTd is also
virtually for free trade, but voted for the
Tariff Commission. One was vote direct
the other a vote of expediency. The
"Tariff for Revenue only" was tested at
the last Presidential election. There is,
however, no question but that the tariff
and revenue tax should both be revised
There is more revenue raised than is
needed, and the imposts on importatiOns
are in many cases too heavy but eur in
dustries are too new to be put in Oper
competition with the pauper labor o.

SOME of our readers got considerably
mixed last week on the matter Of the

the printers case read sixteen and a-half
million dollars, but it slipped through

a-half dollars. 1t was real benefit after
all to those who could not see millions

He is a brilliant speaker and writer. Is a
sound republican and will make good mar
shall. He belongs to none of the factions OF
southern Texas, and in selecting Mr.. Costing
the president has pursued the policy of a new
deal advocated by the Republican.
We have faith sufficient in Mr.. Gosng to
believe that he will make an excellent officer.
He takes great pride in what he does, and
works upon the principle that ''what is worth
doing is worth doing well"
Many newspapers seem to be at loss to
know what this all means. 1t is to us very
plain that the president is fully conversant with
the situation in Texas, and realizes that the
course advocated by the Republican-that the
president should 60 outside of the contending
factions for his appointments - has been
adopted. 1t means new deal, gentleman;
that is it exactly. - Fort Worth Republican.
