Republicans and put Democrats in their
places. II was no new idea only new |
applicat;on Of an old New England PRINCE
ple that the elect should rule and that the |
people who voted for the resolution were
were the only true and genuine elect in ex-
istenco. That civil service, properly en-
forced, would be . good thing no reasona-
BILE person can doubt. But to make civil
service effective the reform must commence
at the bottom. Both parties must agree to
it and then the offices must be parceled
out equally, no matter which party is in
power. After that men should be appoint
ed upon competitive examination, without
regard to party. But neither party will
ever consent to the first part of this scheme
and therefore civil service in this country
is forever likely to be the same farce that
it has been under Republican rule.

Alderman Hillard has won golden opin-
ions on all sides by the stand he has taken
upon the Board Of Finance question. He
agrees with us that the finances of the city
have never been better administered than
now, and that the present Board have DEM
onstrated their title to the offices they hold
by the success with which they have carried
the city through the straits of threatened
bankruptcy He says that three Aldermen
will be found to be opposed, at all times,

and the implication is that, if the Court of
Errors should decide that the appointment
of Board of Finance rests with the Alder
men, there are enough philosophical
