TREASURY COMMISSIONS.

Treasury commissions under the
present Administration have not thus
far achieved much success. One of
the early acts of the Administration
was the appointment of Assistant Sec
retaries Fairchild and Coon and Mr..
Graves, then Assistant Treasurer, as
commission upon Treasury reorganza.
ton, retrenchment and reform 1t was
a practical, non.partisan, admirable
commission, we'll fitted for the work
and commanding confidence and re-
spect, The commission went to work
intelligently and earnestly, but has not
made much progress.
After thorough investigation of one
important bureau 1t made report re
commencing extensive changes. Neither
the report nor the changes have
ever been heard from. The commits
sion attacked a second bureau, but
there has been depressing uncertainty
as to what they were wanted to do aud
as to whether 1t was of any use to do
anything. Several months have passed
and the commission has not scored
single point.
Soon after the appointment of this
commission another was selected with
an equal amount Of reform enthusiasm.
The second commission was to do
throughout the country what the first
was to do in Washington.
1t was to begin by purifying the
moral atmosphere of the custom houses
of New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Baltimore, harmonizing their
methods, improving their tone and
idealizing the service generally. This
commission made savage report on
the New York custom service and
aimed q bombshell at Boston, but
neither of their reports have received
official attention, and the commission
has dropped out of sight without find
ing its way to Philadelphia or Balti-
more.
There seems to be some ground for
doubling whether the commission sys-
TEN is altogether q success. 1t seldom
is, in any department of the public
service, as means Of facilitating legis-
lation or effecting wholesome reforms.
The present administration of the
Treasury is undoubtedly capable of
carrying on its business without any
such superauous aids but after the
somewhat ostentatious display with
which the particular commissions al.
mded to were set to work, it is about
time the country had some account of
their stewardship and what they have
really accomplished in the way OF re.
form, op1 pobn,ont

WASHINGTON, D. G., NOV. 5, 1885
THE cIyIL-srRyICE BOARD.

President Cleveland, after much
searching, has found at last couple
of gentlemen who are willing to ac-
cept places in the Civil-Scrvice Com
mission. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that the President has made good Sc
lections, and from all that can be
learned of the appointees it would
seem that he had. If he has secured
gentlemen who can avoid the various
pitfalls that lurk in the pathway of n
civil.servicc commissioner, from ginger
ale to certifying the most unacceptable
brand of eligibles, he has certainly
done great thing for the country, and
relieved himself of one of the greatest
worries that q chief executive has ever
been heir TO-
Of course we can never have a civil
service commission that will not some
time or other get into hot water, for
that man is not made who can admin
lister such a civilscrvico law as the
one now in existence without clashing
with the hopes and aspirations of
many worthy citizens who think that
the Government needs their services,
ana are certain that they need the Gov
ernment's pay.
Mr., Edgerton, one of the new Com.
missioners, is from Indiana, but should
not for that reason simply be con
demned. The general impression in
the country that nothing that favors
civil service reform can come out of
Indiana is not based upon the most
solid foundation. There are doubtless
many Indiana citizens who favor that
reform, but who have for some reason
or other not been heard from. Mr.
Edgerton's past public record we think
warrants the President in naming him
as one of the Commissioners.
The same can be said of Mr.. Tren-
holm of South Carolina. He is gen
tleman of culture, and an able handler
of various economic problems. His
analytical mind may enable him to sue
cessfully master the intricacics of the
great public question that is presented
in the spoils system.
In order to complete the organization
of the board the President this after
noon has made temporary reappoint-
ment of Mr. Eaton, so that the Com.
mission is again in full working order.

vANDALs ON THE HUDSON,

The blowing up of the Andre Monu-
ment at Tappan, N. Y, was vandalism;
all wanton destruction of property,
public or private, is vandalism, even
when the object destroyed is the per
sonal possession of Anglo-maniac mil.
lionaires like Sir Cyrus w. Field,
Major Andre was brave and brilliant
British officer, accomplished and
scholarly. He suffered the penalty of
death, which the articles of war visit
npon any one captured and convicted
of being spy. Such death as in the
case of Major Andre is often seemingly
harsh, but war never was and never
will be lawn tennis game, Andres

monument to him. There is no valid
reason why monument should not b.

LAST TUESDAY was the day which
the good people of Tacoma, Washing

of the Chinese living there The good
people of Tacoma saw that the Chinese
went At $3.50 i'm the morning the sig
nal was given and many hundreds of
people got into line and with their
weapons not concealed marched around
the town ordering the Celcstials to
levant. They lcyanted without delay,
and by o'clock in the evening were
marching to Lake View, nine miles
distant from the good people and
Tacoma. Some of the Chinese took
the train at Lake View for Portland,
Oregon, but most of them commenced
the work of counting the railroad ties
between these two places. No trouble
occurred. and We presume that the
good people of Tacoma are almost rs
happy as if they had killed dozen
or SO of their late almond.cyed neigh
bors.
GovERSoR HILL was sercnaded at
his home in Elmira last night. He
made a short speech, in which he said
that the result of Tuesdays election
showed that New York is thoroughly
Democratic State and that he is there
to stay. The Governors speech was
little bit personal to himself, but that
was pardonable. He spoke of the
charges which the opposition had made
against him, and said that he had paid
no attention to them, preferring rather
that the people should pass the verdict
upon them at the polls. lie was more
than thankful for the verdict that had
been rendered by the people of the
State, and especially for the manner in
which the people of his own city had
indorsed him Governor Hill certainly
has right to chucklc chucklc of
gigantic proportions.

few months ago evolved this beautiful
couplet:
"Wc may be happy yet,
You bet
The New York victory has made his
muse frisky again, but there is no
shade of melancholy in her frisk to-
day. The .SUa gives us this happy
conceit

AS THE only journal in the mctropo-
lis which supported the Federal Ad-
ministration during the late canvass,
and at the same time advocated the
election of Governor Hill, the New
York Stdr claims to have twice as
good grounds for happiness" over the
result as any other paper Mr.. Dor
sheimer's claim is consistent and just
With him the fight was altogether n
political and in no sense personal
one. 1t was simply TO elect Hill and
thereby indorse Cleveland, The point
was well taken and well made. In this
case the independent journalism of
New York has allowed itself to be out
distanced by an organ.
