Hardly day passes now without the ap-
pointment of number OF internal revenue
collectors as well as of other officers. These
sweeping changes are made without any
charges being preferred, simply because
the officers removed have no fixed terms. 1t
would be interesting toknOw how Mr.. Curtis and
his Civil Service reform associates regard such
removals For several years they have been
endeavoring to get Congress to enact a law
that would leave all Government employees
without fixed terms. They urged this change
on the ground that it would secure greater per-
mapency in the Civil Service, and prevent re-
movals without cause. But those officials that
have no fixed terms are the ones that are be-
ing rapidly turned out to make places for the

The vigorous action of the Colombian au-
thorities in re-establishing their authority on
the Isthmus seems likely to make an end, at
least temporarily, of the business OF conduct
ing revolutions there. The leaders have
stirred up strife heretofore, in order
to make fortunes, and Their success in that
line has enabled them to escape punish
ment. This time they have not es-
capped so easily and all the guilty ones
seem likely to be severely punished. This
has filed the revolutionists with CONSERVATION
and when they find that it is dangerous game
to play at, they will, no doubt, engage i'll other
enterprises. Any government that will be per-
manent will be blessing to that country.

A census recently taken of the liquor
shops in Philadelphia shows that it is
as badly off as New York. There are 5,995
liquor shops, 3,347 groceries and 1,066
bakeries in that city. There is a liquor store
for every twenty-nine voters, which is about
the same proportion as in this city. The
enormous political power which the 10000
and more liquor shops in New-York exert is
known to all persons who have endeavored to
bring about any reform in the municipal gov
eminent. The representatives of the liquor
shops find their way to the Legislature every
year, and they are chiefly responsible for the
disgraceful jobs which are urged there. In
Pennsylvania vigorous effort is being made to
check this growing power by enacting high
license law. 1t will be fortunate for that State
If the effort succeeds.

Among the bills which failed of final passage
before the adjournment of the Legislature was
the one recognizing the Dock Department
of this city. No doubt this result was
largely due to the scandal created by the
presence at Albany of a Dock Commits
sioner lobbying to get his salary in
creased Nevertheless, the failure of tire bill
will place the department in an embarrassing
condition. should the Courts fail to decide that
the bonds held by the Sinking Fund Commits
sion are to be excepted from the city debt. The
department has been heretofore sustained by the
issue of bonds, and no more can be issued
under the opinion of the Corporation Counsel.
The bill was designed to grant relief by
allowing the Board of Estimate to appropriate
money for the department. Its failure is
therefore to be regretted.
