CLETELAND MAKING LAWS.

The law prescribes certain mode of testing
applicants for appointment and of selecting
persons according to fitness. President CleVe-
land has prescribed another and a different
mode. The question is whether the acts of Con-
gIess or the will of President Cleveland snail
be the supreme law OF the land.
An unthinking person might say, OF course,
the acts of Congress, for President Cleveland is
n rcformer and has declared that it Ia his
solemn purpose and sacred duty to enforce the
law faithfully Therefore he is the mere SER
want of law, and what he does mnst be guided
by holy zeal to observe with fidelity ana
strctness the object of the lawmakers. But 1t
happens that this does not fit the Presidents
acts. He orders that all persons who pass
Civil Service examination above a certain
Grade. and a very low grade, moreover, shall be
certified for appointment. But the plain re-
ouircment of the law is that the examination
shall be employed. not to weed out the appll-
cants who are most palpably not qualified, but
to determine who is best qualified. II the
President means TO obey and enforce the law,
he ha, a plain road before him. But he does
not. for he takes a different road. and III an
elaborate interview published by his desire he
explains that he means To select persons on Il
different basis.
There is room for honest difference of
opinion az to what the law should have re-
duircd. Two courses were open. Congress
might have required that the examination
should be held 10 ascertain what applicants pos
sc>scd a required moderate standard of fitness,
and that no person should be appointed except
those who had passed such an cNaplnaton
That would have left the appointing power ~
large a discretion, with respect to all persons
having a moderate degree of fitness. a If no
law had been enacted. This is exactly what
the law did not provide and what the Prcsi-
dent does enact ~ the law OF the land. But
the act of Congress provided that examinations
should be held, and that all offices shall be
" filled by selection according 10 Grudc, from
among those graded highest rs the results OF
such competitive examination" The law
plainly meant 10 deprive the President of the
great latitude in selection which he had pre-
yion,ly exercised. II the law ha, been 10y the
people heartily approved in any respect. 1t Is
for that very feature. Yet that Is the feature
which President Cleveland by his own act re-
pcaIS.
This is Cleveland and Reform. Reform with
ont the Cleveland was Il different matter. The
worthy citizens who voted for Cleveland and
Reform utterly refused to believe, when they
were told last year. that the election Of Il Demo
cratic President woJld mean the undermining
and he overthrow Of all that had been done To
secure a non partisan Civil Service. What "a
their opinion about it now ?

TILL GALTENTON FLRE.

A terrible calamity has suddenly hciallcn one
of the most entcrpTiSing OF Southern cities.
destructive fire has left the main residence
martcr of Galveston in ruins. The first out
break occurred soon after midnight. and before
noon lifty-two city squares, containing several
hundred houses, had been cptaway. track
of the confagration from the starting point
near the Bay to the sea measured a dlStaLcc OF
a mile ard half and at the widest included
five or six ordinary blocks. The rapidity with
which this long distance was traverscd by the
flames. in less than twelve hours, is readily cx-
planed in the dispatches. \ gale was blowing
and it was impossible to fight both wind ana
Hamc; and the houses almost without eN-
ccptIOn were frame structures standing CloNc
together and Offering no resistance 10 the ne
stroving element. When the tIc had once
started on one side OF the town, the high WInd

as great a. the extent OF the burned district
would imply. But much suffering and dcstlin-

pine as building material, are peculiarly OK

/ Galveston has the reputation of being brisk,
active and cntcrprising town, with an efficient
! municipal government and an energetic and
prosperous population. Apparently this great
disaster cannot be imputed to the negligence OF
the fircmen or to misnanagcmcnt OF the water
supply. terrible visitation, to which every
coast city in the South Is liable, has wrought
havoc and devastation and overwhelmed the
population with panic and dsmay. But unlike
many of its sister cities Galveston has a gcnu-
inc spirit of Northern energy and rccupcrallyc
force. The harmed district will speedily be re-
built and the catastrophe Of yesterday will only
temporarily affect the city's prosperity. Its
population will have the sympathy of the
public, North and South, in the present hour Of
misfortune and ruin.
