RETRIRUTIYE JUSTICE.


There ia a touch of retributive justice In the
fate of the despicable wretch, James Carey.
He had plotted with assassns, had hired others
to do cxecrable work which he lacked courage
to do himself, had threatened his associates
with dire vengeance If they should prove
treacherous, and had been the first to turn In
former and purchase life and liberty for him.
self by convicting his fellow-conspirators OF
their crimes. 1t was meet that so cowardly
poltroon should be- plotted against In his turn,
pursued across the seas to remote landlDg-
place, and shot down by relentless avenger.
We do not for a single instant justify the
murderous act. 1t was foul and dastardly
CRIME, and the assassin who committed it, II
he be responsible agent with faculties I'M
clouded should be speedily and inexorably
punished. But judging the effect apart from
the murderer's heinous offence in producing It,,
we cannoG help feeling that the informer's
doom was wholly in accord with the eternal
fitness of things. James Carey was monster
traitor and a sneak. He had made himself
odious to good men by his crimes He had
made himself odous to bad men by his treach-
cry. 1t was wicked, malevolent and uniusti-
fable act to shoot him down like the wretched
cur he was. But it was also meet and right
that he should be allowed only sparing
use of the liberty he had so basely purchased
that retributive justice, like m avenging fury,
should hound him to his death.
There Is reason to believe that the murderer
was James Carey's most faithful and discrim-
mating friend. There can be no thought more
narrowing to the human mind than the morbid
dread of assassination. Whether it Is Com
modus plotted against by wife. sister, Senators,
soldiers and rufllaDs, or Caligula pacing his
palace at midnight and trembling at the sound
of his own footsteps on the marble floors, or
modern Romanoff living in an atmosphere of
electric suspicion, or the Irish informer shrink
ing from the scorchIng breath of popular
hatred in Dublin and timorously searching for
O hating place under the angry African sun,
he who stands in momentaIy dread of a violent
death is the most wretched of his kind. The
assassin has given his victim deliverance from
abiect fear the worst fate that can befal! a
craven heart. If Roman Emperors who had
dishonored the purple and incurred the hatred
af their subjects learned at last to welcome
death at the hand of jealous mistress or
coyetous slave, the abandoned wretch, stepped
to the lips in treachery, who had bought his
life by betraying his associates, could not
have begrudged the avenger his moment OF
savage triumph.

ciple Of competitive examinations to promo
tions. Their argument IL that the crowd Oh
disappointed applicants for appointment

pointed applicants for promotions remain In

A stronger argument Is that while c0mpetl-

making just selection among applicants Tor
office, IL is not so good test OF the relative
experiences of those already used to Govern
ment work. The records of clerks, and the
observation Of superiors, give help here which
it would be foolish to disregard. Probably the
Commissioners felt that one problem at time
that of appointments-was enough. But
some more exact and just method OF promo
tons than the present must be put in force
soon, or we shall see the evils of the old pat
ronage system still fourishing within the SER
vice, while they are sternly checked at the en-
trance to it. There is no doubt that in many
promotions under the old system, substantial
Justice has been done, especially in recent
years, during which the morale of the Govern
ment service has been steadily improving, in
response to an awakening public sentiment.
But they have been subject to political influ-
ences, and all the evils they imply. Congress
men importune and write letters. Clerks com
pete with each other in bringing influence to
bear. and the result is an unseemly scramble.
The decision rests, practically, with the APP
pointment Clerk, or some other official having
charge of appointments, who is Responsible
only to the head Of the Department, and some
times, If he is much OF n politician, not even
to him. No doubt merit is often recognized,
but the secrecy, looseness and irrespon sibility
of the process make it easy to recognize some-
thing other than merit, if there is q desire to
do so.
What is needed in system of promotions is
exact and unvarying standards, and full public
ity. 2his publicity, which is check on favor
itism and ether abuses, ia a marked character
istic of the British Civil Service. All appoint
ments, transfers and promotions are Officially
published. Every step taken is recorded. Full
and careful records of all persons examined and
appointed are kept. In some branches of the
service promotions are based upon examina-
tons; in others upon the records, and upon
the recommendation of superOrs The recon-
mendations of different superiors with regard
to the same appointment will be taken separ-
atey, are formally made, and treated as i'm

Of the British Customs service prohibits any
private application for promotion, directly or
indirectly, warns officers that such applications
will retard promotion and invite the displeas-
are of the Commissioners, and even holds
officers responsible for applications made in

periors that they had no knowledge of Them
These regulations are undoubtedly IN the
direction of impair tial justice, and some of them

CIVIL SERVICE pROuOTJON

1t is evident that the Civil Service Commits
sion will need to deal soon with the subject of
promotion IN the Government service. The
evil of patronage appointments has been ar
rested, and the machinery for furnishing clerks
to the Government whose only sinfluence"
shall be their competency, is now in working
order. But the evil of patronage promotions
of patronage appointments, and consistency
demands that the one shall be regulated as
strictly as the other by the merit system. The
question has arisen already in practical way.
The Civil Service law provided that after six
months from its adoption no one should he APP
pointed or promoted to one of the places COW
cred by it unless he had passed @an examina-
tom or was shown TO be specially exempted
from such examination In conformity here
with" The rules promulgated by the Presi-
dent deferred the subject of promotions, leav-
ing heads of Departments to make them as
before until rules should be framed. Two of
the three Commissioners are said to have given
an opinion that the Secretary of the Treasury
can at his discretion promote a nine hundred
dollar clerk to the twelye-hundred dollar
grade, being the lowest OF those created by
statute. ought not, apparently, to be open to
any one without competitive examination. 1t
is true that many men of experience and judy
ment, who are in sympathy with the new sys-
TEN. doubt the wisdom OF applying the prin-
