Attorney Generals department. the removal
of collectors and postmasters whose COM
potency and good character were admitted
without specifying the ground of their
removal further than that they were
offensive partisans," and on purely
ca parte testimony, the invitation is
sued in secret circular from the post office
department to Democratic congressman to
work up cases against the incumbents of
fourth class post Offices, the smuggling of
skilled laborer' into the Treasury depart
ment in evasion of the civil service law, were
all clear violations of the spirit of the reform
which the President promised to abide by in
his letter to Mr.. Curtis. And to offset these
violations, Mr.. Curtis brings what? The
appointment of a Republican to the post
office in New York; the appointment of a
business man to the collectorship in the
same city; the appointment of Mr.. Burt,
who was once Republican, but voted for
Cleveland, to the naval office; and the pro-
motion of Graves, who like Burt was once
Republican, but last year was Mugwump.
1t is not necessary to account for this dis
proportion to charge the President with insin-
certify. The factis, as Mr.. Curtis says, the vast
majority of the Democratic party is opposed
to the reform which Mr.. Cleveland endorsed
in his letter, and while this condition exists,
no man who owes his election to that party
can enforce that reform. 1t makes little diff
ference how sincere he is, the pressure
brought to bear upon him will compel him to
yield. He may be able to indulge in spurts
of NJ tO sf.onc
sistenly a course to which nine-tenths of his
party is opposed is impossible, unless he is
ready to cut loose from it altogether. The
chances Of civil service reform, or any other
reform, are infinitely more under President
personally hostile to it, but surrounded by a
party in favor of it, than under Presi-
dent personally its friend with constituency
OnnoSed to it.

MR.. CURTIS AND THE ADMINS
TRATEON

Having endorsed Mr.. Cleveland before
election as an inhexible civil service REFORM
er Mr.. George William Curtis, along with the
rest OF the Mugwumps, is naturally 10th to
admit that he was mistaken and that the adj
ministration has not fulfilled his and their
fondest hopes Hence his address before the
civil Service Reform League yesterday was
largely an effort to show that the President
had been true to the promises of his civil SER
vice letter and that the confidence of the
Mugwumps had been so far justified by his
conduct AS Mr. Curtis puts it the case for
the President is pretty strong one. But if
seems to us it is made strong in the same
way that the skillful lawyer makes strong
the plea in behalf of his client, by keeping
prominent all the facts that tell in his favor
and touching butyery lightly or ignoring al
together the facts that tell against him.
we are disposed to admit that when the
President wrote his now famous letter to Mr..
Curtis he intended to carry out the senti-
ments therein contained, though the selec-
ton of SO elastic a turn as offensive parti-
sanship" to describe the ground on which
competent officers might in his opin-
ion be justifably removed, tended to
throw some doubt on his sinceri-
ty. We are willing to accord to the
President the credit of good intentions at the
start, and some of his earlier acts certainly
seemed to indicate that he had not only the
good intentions but also the power of resist
ance necessary to enable him to enforce them.
The reappointment of Postmaster Pearson
was no doubt made in the face of very yio-
lent pressure to do otherwise and was
creditable act. But it was Immediately fol-
lowed by three acts as discreditable and as
thoroughly inimical to the spirit of civil SER
vice reform as that was creditable and friend
ly to the spirit of the reform. We refer to
the three internal revenue appointments in
New England. Since then for every appoint
ment in conformity with the spirit of the re-
form made by the President or members of
his Cabinet (and it seems to us he is as re-
sponsible for their acts as for his own we
think it will not be difficult to point out at
least a score which are violations of the
spirit Of that reform The wholesale re-
moyal of the Republican doctors on the pen
sion examining boards, the appointment of
Higgins to an important position in the
Treasury Department after his character had
been fully exposed by Civil Service Reform
Association, the retention of him after he
had been detected in an attempt to eYade the
civil service law, the clean sweep in the
