The important change in the Civil Service
rules which the President has just made not
only has the hearty approval of Mr. Eaton,
President of the Civil Service Commission, but
will be recognized by all sincere friends of the
form as an essential improvement. 1t is not
well to have a law on the statute books unless
it is to be executed with strict regard to its
intent and spirit. The manifest intent of the
Civil Service act was to make asccrtaincd fit
ness govern in the selection of a great number
of minor ',.cals, and not political or religious
beliefs But it left to the appointing officer
discretion in the selection of one person to be
appointed from the four who may be certified
as ranking highest upon examination. This
discretion it has been in the power of the APP
pointing officer to use with regard to the pol
itical affiliations OF services of the applicants ;
for, though selection for such reason would
be contrary to the spirit and intent of the act
it would not be expressly prohibited. Hence
the President, in the new rule just made,
distinctly prohibits the appointing power, in
every department, Post Office or Custom
House, and for every Office to which the rules
extend, from making any discrimination in
selections by reason of any political or religious
opinion OF utilization. Mr.. Eaton, while re-
jOicing at this change, states that he believes
"nO such discrimination has been made under
the present rules, or cOnnived at by those high
in authority" But there are certainly great
many people who have not believed this, and
to them the new rule will be important evil
dence of the intention of the President to en-
force the law according to its spirit and with
entire fidelity.
To nudge the new rule rightly il is necessary
to remember that neither President Hayes nor
President Grant ever went SO far. They had
different and much less effective laws to work
under. The law making power had not then
provided statute the clear intent of which

The rules which fitted the laws then in force
left to the appointing power large discretion,
which was often abused. The new act which
is now under trial. aims to reach greater eiii-
cheney and excellence In the public service by
restricting that discretionary power; and, how
ever men may differ as to the wisdom of that
plan, it is manifestIy right that it should be
carried out as faithfully and tested as fairly
and thoroughly as nOSsible.

"questiOn how many fools there will be who

Who are the fools
The San has already indicated strong opin-
ion that one of them is Governor Cleveland.
1t believes that the management of the Albany
clique has inflicted great damage upon the
party, and bids fair, if it is not checked, to
lead to total ruin. But the Albany clique Is
supposed to represent the particular friends OF
Governor Tilden and the mere thought OF
The Sun using the word fool in connection with
that hOnOred name is enough to make one gasp
for breath. Perhaps the confidence of the inno-
cent and astute Ex-Governor has been be-
trayed by pack of fools this year. as it was
in 1876.
According to the newspaper organ of Mr. John
Kelly, however, the biggest fool of the cam
paign was the Editor of The Sun. The cry of
Z" The rasCals must co., with which he saw fit
to make the canvass, was an "idiotic YELL"
and if the party can go before the people with
no better refrain than that, the sooner it dis
bands the better. And we confess that it was
an unaccOuntable absurdity. TO nominate Il

r0UI 1TR IN SCHOOL-ROOfS.

The Mcdico-Legal Society has directed atten-
ton to n fundamental question of school by
ricnc. In thanking the Board of Health for in
vcstigatng the sanitary condition of the public
schools, it has brought to light, in the course of
an interesting discussion, some startling facts.
For example, DR.. A. NJ. Bell stated that not a
single school-room in the city which was
officially inspected few years ago had less
than Ii per cent of carbonc acid gas, while in
some instances the percentage was 10 with the
windows open and 80 with the windows
closed. Now percentage of 10 is considered
highly dangerous by sanitary experts, and an
cutlery has been raised because the worst cells
in the Tombs Prison contain II per cent of
carbOnc acid. 1t is plain, therefore, that if DR..

liberty and spirit of independence which in!

OF the common people from whom he cama

If NJ. Ferry really uttered the words imputed
to him by the correspondent of The London
Standard no further evidence is needed to
show that the French Prime Minister is playing
a game of buster and brag. He says the CHI
nese don't want to fight that they have no mil
itary power, and therefore could not hight II
they wanted to. Talk of this kind is neither
wise nor true. The Chinese army Is much
larger on paper than it is in reality but not
withstanding this fact, the Chinese Govern
ment by this time probably has 10000 soldiers
well armed and equipped, stationed near the
Tonquin frontier ready to meet the French
forces when they cross the line. 1t Is not
doubted that if the French send out troops
enough they can defeat the Chinese; but 1t is
foolish to say the Celcstials cannot fight. More
over, if any one thinks, simply because the
Chinese have not begun TO fight yet, that they
dare not fight at all, he forgets the patient
waiting policy of the Government at Pekln
