The popular memory Is proverbially short.
Hence the necessity for reiterating. THE suS-
DAY HERALD has from the first been an advo-
cate of civil services reform. But its present
readers may have forgotten that what 1t
most strenuously demanded should be done
was to improve the position of civil officers.
and at the same time TO elevate the tone Of
the public service by giving Department
clerks a definite tenure Of office. We have
advocated assimilating the civil service to
the Army and Navy. make the clerk an
"oiicer and gentleman, and then hold him
"to a strict accountability, is what we
have said again and again. OF course, such
officers must be non partisan.

Were the struggle TO lie confined TO these two

A war in Afghanistan aud a war in Bnl

taneous movement of the population, Aus.

the union the consolidation in that region Of
strong state with healthy national life
would lie the safest aud most permanent bar
rier against Russia. Independence Is what
the Southern Slavs aspire TO, and they have
no desire to be Russianizsd. The character Of
Russian rule is perfectly understood by
Servia and Bulgaria, and while it might once
have been preferred to Turkish, now that
they have enjoyed freedom and independ
ence 1t may be regarded as certain that they
would resist being brought under the des-
pctism Of Russia. A strong aud prosperous
Balkan state is to be desired in the interest
of peace in Europe, and even Of the Porte
itself, which must bow 10 the inevitable,
since the day of Ottoman domination Is past.

not of course regard competitive examina-

THE Sun sagaciously throws light upon an i'm
portant subject when 1t remarks that "every con-
"servative phiologist should earnestly oppose the
"now too prevalent practice of shortening Mug
"wump into Mug. The abbrevlation saves only
"lttle space, and 1t sacrifices what Is by far the
"more significant half of the world. The wumpish-
"ness OF the Mugwump is quality even more es-
"sentlal and characteristic than his muggery."

Just at present the vital principle of civil
service reform is disregarded. When chief
of division in one of the Departments here is
reduced to fourth-class clerk and yet re-
tanned, the operation is equivalent to con-
fession that the real object Is to provide
place for some one who does not come in
through competitive examination. But II
the reduced clerk is faithful, honest, efficient,
and not offensive why reduce him at all !!
This reducing Of chiefs Of divisions might be
proper in isolated special cases. But as
generally applicable to the Departmental it is
iptrinsically vicious. If there is any class of
public servants not distinctly protected by
the civil service law who should be protected
by its esprit " it is those who have risen by
merit through the classified clsrkships. Those
who have risen by political favor aud in
huence {" should be dismissed. Reductions
deprive the classified clerks of the promotion
they have earned, and are essentially illogical
and unjust.

THE New York State Free Thinkers' Convention
having met and listened to harangues from InRer-
soil and other conspicuous believers, resolved
that II IL time for liberal and secular societies to
take the place of churches and priests in the social
recognition and celebration of those great events of
human life-birth, marriage, and death. Precisely
what forms are to be used by these liberal and
"secuar societies " 10 celebrating" the marriage
rite, the Free Thinkera Convention did not resolve.
But why have any celebration OF the marriage rites
between free thinkers, who have no fundamental
beliefn common on the durability OF the marriage tie
upon any other subject The basis Of free think
ing In the sense In which the Free Thinkers Con-
venton place it, Is anmosty to religious belief: on
nothing else are they united. Their whole theory
Is kind OF individual "belleve as.you. please "
affair, and the direct result of their teachings has
been in the direction of loosening the marriage tie,
and bringing into ridcule all marriage ceremony,
priestly or otherwise OF what use then
the formation of |" liberal and secular socie-
"tiesn to "recognlze" and "celebrate" mar
riage when the free thinkers doctrine looks to
nothing permanent In the social relations, and too
frequently regards marriages as made only "until

One thing about the next House of Repre-
sentatives may be regarded as settled: Mr..
Carlisle, If he lives, will be Speaker. That
out of the way, the discussion has been
opened upon the subject Of the committees.
and more especially upon the Craftsmanship
of the Committee on Appropriations and the
power with which it should be invested. We
take it as certain that Mr.. Randall will be
reappointed chairman. II II were an open
question, there are many who would prefer
some one else, but in appointing Mr.. Ran
dali, Speaker Carlisle will voice the general
Judgment Of his party. As to the other mem
bers of the committee, there is no reason why
Mr.. Carlisle should not appoint a new set
entirely, lift is thought best. Despairing
of defeating Mr.. Randall's appointment as
chairman Of the Appropriation Committee,
those who objected to it so vigorously have
changed their tactics, and propose to destroy
its vitality by taking away from it the prepa-
ration of several Of the most important appro-
priation bills, the expressed object being to
place these several bills In the control OF
committees who have the general subjects
under consideration, and are therefore sup
posed TO know more about them and have
more time to give them due consideration.
II the result of this scheme would be what
its advocates claim, there could be no Objsc-
tion to it. No man of sense wants to see lily
digssted appropriation bills reported in
haste, nor a repetition Of the practice of hold
ing them back until the expiring hours Of
the session, to bs rushed through without
debate, and finally cooked up In conference
committees. But this difficulty would not be
sverted by spreading the responsibility over
several committees instead Of combining II to
one.

The Eastern question has been violently

reports aud comments differ widely az to the
cause and probable consequences OF this out
break. Many London correspondents imlne-
diatsly assumed that this incident would
prove serious embarrassment TO the Sails
bury Cabinet. This seems hasty conclu-
sion. The greatest strength Of the Conser-
vatives is In the marked superiority Of their
foreign policy over that OF the late Liberal
Cabinet. The situation Is undoubtedly deli
cate and difficult. But Englishmen will feel
the advantage in such juncture of having
the threads Of diplomacy 10 the hands Of
one Of the trainers Of the Berlin treaty, who

terms with the Ministers OF Germany aud
Austria. With Lord Salisbury Prince Bis
marck has heretofore been able TO rearrapge

is threatened with disruption II is fortunate
for Eogland that her negotiations are in the
hands OF q statesman with whom the central
powers know they can work. The trouble
{n the Balkans is therefore more likely &c
strengthen than 10 weaken the Salisbury
government.
