pointment and it is no longer practical
question, those who have passed satisfactory
examinations under the law and were there
fore entitled to be considered in filling any
vacancies, may complain, but they cannot
helm themselves Nevertheless we believe
that a serious blow has been dealt civil
service reform in the Portland custom house
by the method of this appointment.
Mr.. Bellows, the new clerk, is an admirable
gentleman, in every way qualified for his
position, and as he has been life long Re-
publican, it cannot be said that Collector
Anderson has ignored the law to reward a
political friend. But we venture the asser-
ton that, had the late Charles J. Folger
been Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr.. j.
B. Butler instead of the notorious Higgins
been the appointment clerk, the position
would have been filled by the promotion OF
some one of the soldier clerks serving in
lower grades in the custom house, and the
vacancy thus created by selection, according
to law, from the list of eligibles who had
passed the required examination.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1885-11-16

Collector Hedden did not avail himself Of
the opportunity given him by the certihca-
tion of the entire list of eligibles instead OF
the four highest names to appoint Sterling.
His courage was not equal to such an out
rage of decency as that would have been.
The outcome of the suspension of the rule
by the commission has not therefore been
quite so bad as was feared. The precedent
established, however, is bound to prove
very embarrassing to the commission in the
future The results it is likely to produce
were clearly pointed out by the New York
Evening Post in the following paragraph
written while the matter was still under con-
sideration
1--WE venture to tell them that the entire eligi-
BILE list lciH not be submitted to the appointing
officer, in the case of the Weighership; first, be-
cause this would be the suspension OF fundamen-
tai rule, without any good reason for 1t; and sec
ondly, because 1t aU0ltld establish q precedent
aOIieh 1UO1tId be the complete ruin Of the co2e-
titiee system. The spOilsmen would seize on u as
an admission that q pass examination was all that
was necessary in any case, and having secured
this, they would make the minimum so low that
anybody could pass, and all tine boys would then
be found on every eligible list. In TACT, eompetl-
ton Is of the essence of civil service reform.
Without this any examination would soon be
farce. The spoilsmen know this, and therefore ask
for nothing more than examinations with
ont competition. But President Cleveland we
are suIe, knows this too and therefore will not
crafty them. If he has said anything looking
like concession to them this point, it is because
he has not maturely considered the matter

The free traders in their national confer
ence at Chicago are not at all ambiguous in
their demands, but they are quite daft in
their logic. There is no i'll which the coun-
try is heir to, which they do not ascribe to
protection They conveniently forget, how
ever, that in free-trade countries there are
several ills to our one. The people know
when they are well off.

Has it occurred lately to our Democratic
friends that before Mr.. Cleveland was elect
ed they cried with great fervor that the num-
Der of public offices was largely in excess of
the public needs, and that change in adj
ministration was necessary to effect a re-
form in this direction? If it has they have
magnanimously refrained from mentioning
it. They even stand calmly by and allow
without protest First Assistant Postmaster
General Stevenson to state that up to the
present time the member of new postofiices es-
tablished by him is 2221. 1t seems that with
a change of administration came a change in
the Democratic idea of reform. And now
that they have become firmly convinced that
they were wrong in their first opinion and
that public necessity and the country's ne
cessity demand more offices they do not pro-
pose to work this reform by halves. This is
funny world.

The news from the Orient is ominous. The
Servians have crossed the Bulgarian frontier
and fighting has already begun. King Milan
has probably been forced into declaring war
by the clamor of his people, who are jealous
because Bulgaria has extended her domin-
ions, while Servia's boundaries remain un-
changed. When and how this conflict will
end, it is useless to attempt to predict The
powers may be able to agree upon scheme
for its suppression, but a general European
war is one of its possible, if not probable re-
suits. Certainly war between Servia and
Bulgaria cannot continue for any considera-
BILE length of time without involving contig-
uous States.

JUST so.


One of the best things about the
elections in Virginia is the fact that the
white Democrats are indebted in part
to the negroes for the dimensions of
their majority. Nothing has been
more discouraging for the future of the
blacks than the political slavery in
which they were held until the election
of Cleveland. How abject this slavery
was cannot be better illustrated than
by the fact that even man like Gen
eral Hawley, who fought TO make them
freemen, has seriously proposed to take
the census figures of the number Of
adult black males IN amy State as the
number of votes which ought to be re-
turned for the Republican ticket at
every election, and TO consider any fall
ing off as prima flcie evidence Of Dem
ocratic fraud. The worst indictment
of the negro capacity for self-govetn-
ment ever framed by Southern Demo
Gratis was not so severe as this assump-
tion of the Republican party that every
black man was it's lifelong political vas
sal, and that any rascal like Mahont
who captured a Republican nomination
might count with entire confidence up
on the solid negro vote. The coloret
man, in his dense ignorance, was no
to blame for believing the unpl'inci
pied white leaders who told him ht
would be put back into physical SLAYER.
if the Democrats came into power; bu
this political slavery was only less Eata

benefits of Clevcland's election that i

their fears of ''Southcrn domination,

Just Distribution
In an interview in the Tribune,
Chauncey M. Depew says: 'sThe will
of Vanderbilt is, in my judgement
very wise and very just distribution
of his estate. The fact that all the
family are satisfied and grateful, dem
onstrates his knowledge of his children
and the wisdom Of his muniiicent dis
position and division Of his estate to
accomplish one purpose that was over
mastering with him, Wis, to have the
family harmonious and bound together
by the strongest ties. Cornelius and
w. K. are, so far as mere property is
concerned, probably better equipped
than their father was at the death of
the commodore to continue the sue
cessful administration of the great
railroad system and hold its control
They are both conservative, expert
enced and able. There seems to be
disposition in Wall street and in
London to express surprise and disap-
pointment that the stocks of the roads
in the Vanderbilt system were not tied
up in trusts, SO that they could not be
disposed of by any one Of the family
Precisely the same surprise was ex
pressed at the time of the commodore
death. The result demonstrated the
old gentleman's sagacity and wisdom
VIM. III. discovered after thorough
trial, that to manage successfully the
great railroad properties which are sc
intimately connected with the public
and are semi-public in their character
it was much wiser not to own them
When he discovered this he sold the
great bulk of his Central stock, so thai
it became one of the most widely dis
tributed of our American securities.

THE REVIY1L MEETINGS.

On the revival meetings in portland,
series Of which are now being held
under the direction of Mrs. Hampson
the celebrated reviyalist, the standard
diagnoses the situation is as follows,
which by the way is nearly correct.
The revival meetings which opened
at the new tabernacle last evening will,
we hope, result in much good. Mrs.
Hampson, the preacher, has been sue
cessful elsewhere, and, although the
spiritual life of this city is very soggy#
and inert, it is possible that with the
assistance of the resident clergy and.
laity, she may make deep impression
upon it. We commend these meetings
to our readers. We do this because
we believe III the work that is sought
to lie done We should not do this
if we thought this work meant the ad-
vancement of one sect to the injury of
another, nor if we supposed it meant
the spread of any particular creed or
the increase of anything like ecclesias-
ticism. But We commend this effort
to awaken the attention of the people
of this city, because we think it means
a revival of practical righteous, and
this is needed more than we need man
ufactures. Not every man or woman
who seems to be converted at revival
meetings proves to be more honest in
business or less uncontrolled in TEN
per than other men and women who,
like Gallo, "care for none of these
things" But most people who attend
such largo meetings as those in the
new tabernacle will be more or less
stimulated to works of practicle right
eous. Their spiritual natures will | c
aroused andithev will be temporarily,
at least, influenced by consideration of
the world to come.
Some people shrink from revival
efforts, because they seem too much
like the methods of business. But we
devote weeks Of time and series of
meetings to increase excitement in po-
litical campaigns, and why should not
the subject which all generations and
races of nen have treated as of
supreme Importance be for time the
most prominent themel If the result
was simply to make the church more
true to its work, its members more
true to their professions and men more
honest it would be enough to justify
the effort, but the promise is more than
this. Tho godliness which is sought
to be increased by this comprehensive
and energetic movement is profitable
not only for this life, Lut for the life
to come.
