Morton,s APPOINTMENT.

Never since Sancho Papza was made Gov
ernor of the Island of Barataria, has there
been more absurd and preposterous appoint
ment to civil office than that of Charles B.
Morton. whose experience is that of clerk Of
an express Office, TO be Commissioner of
Navigation. The Office is one of very great
importance requiring not only thorough
knowledge of Maratime Law, but technical
knowledge of shipping and commercial rega-
latious of all countries.
Perhap. no man in the whole country is
more peculiarly fitted for the complex duties
of the office than Captain Jarvis Patten
of Bath who was appointed
two wears ago By President Ar
thur 1t 10 mere parody on common
sense, an insult TO popular intelligence to sp-
point Morton TO such place. He is just as
much fitted u be Justice of the Supreme
Court az to be Commissioner of Navigation
The appointment would not b. so deplorable
If the duties OF the office did not involve the
safety of human life. The sailing regula-
tious the mode of signalling at sea, rules for
vessels passing; the relative rights of
steamers and sailing vessels and a thousand
other points, Involving technical knowledge
are committed to the discretion and judge
ment of the Commissioner of Nsviga-
zion Such an appointment as Morton's is
not merely a blunder! 1t is in the broadest
sense a crime. 1t is not merely an offence
against civil service. II is the wicked viola
ton of the rights of humanity, the wanton
risks of the rights of poverty. Cannot the
Maine democrats who are hanging their heads
for shame over the appointment represent It's
true character to the President and have it
withdrawn. The President has evidently
been deceived by somebody .-Portiand En-
press, Dec T.

Congressman Reed is reported as having
been somewhat satirical on the Presidents
Message. He said; II had hoped that
these amiabe phrases about the highest
wages to the worker, combined with the
lowest prices to the purchaser, would
have been confined to political platforms
! never supposed that any single man
would have the hardhood to come out and
assume the individual responsibility for
sHch a combination. He wants to reduce
taxes, so that every poor American citizen
may buy what he needs for halt what he
has to pay for 1t now, and at the same
time he wants to keep up wages to their
present standard. at least when the labor
er's product won't have half its present
market value. | wonder if he will not put
us in the way of getting some daylight in
the night time"

When Mr.. Cleveland entered the Presi-
Dental Office he declared, in his inaugural
address. that those who worhily seek
public employment have the right to insist
that merit and competency shalt be recog-
nized instead of party subserviency or the
surrender of honest political belief" It
took less than twenty months catering to
the very hungry and very thirsty" to
knock those exalted sentiments into innoc-
uous desuetude and convince Mr.. Cleve-
land that 1.-The administration of the Gov
eminent is not to be trusted, in places high
or low, to those who are opposed to the
party responsible for such administration.
In other words, party subserviency" is
essential to office holding. The democrats
will soon be satisfied that their President
is good party man.-7ri6une.

Civil Service Reform

The President is very briet in his re-
marks in the Message upon civil service
reform. II is very amusing to read in
what he does say upon this subject his
remarks about ''those who want places
under the government regardless of merit
and efficiency" depending upon proper
credential showing active partisan work.
and then think of his recent appointment

Which is Right?

Before any more howl is made about the
necessity of cutting down the tariff in order
to prevent surplus this year, let Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Morrison get together and agree
on something.
Mr. Cleveland says the surplus win amount
to $50 900. 900, and Mr.. Morrison figures it
out that it will amount TO little over S54 >
600, 900.
