1t Should be Improved BY Removing In.
enlcient or Dishonest Servants. Blu,
Not Otherwise.
oresoni.n.1
Respect for the principles Of civil
service reform has grown more rapid.
" among the Democrats during the
last two weeks than ever before, l,
is miraculous, almost.
This is we'll. Now on the other
hand it will he we'll also for Republi-
cans to remember that during the past
four years they, too, have professed
a good deal of admiration for the
principles of civil service reform, and
good deal of indignation that they
have been so shamefuIly violated.
When General Harrison wrote in
his letter OF acceptance, "Only the in
terests of tho public service should
suggest removals from Office" he pre-.
se"ted very grave accusation against
the administration of Mr.. Cleveland.
1t Is grave because it is true.
The New York World in it's review
OF the causes of the recent defeat of
its party, recalls the fact that the
democratic war-cry in 1884 was,
Turn the rsscals out - Aud, speak
ing OF the performance Of the admin.
lstration, it adds: cit was unques.
tlonably disheartening to the friends
OF honest and clean government to
perceive that more real rascals were
let IN than were turned out. The
substantially undenied list Of scandal.
Gus appointments made by the Presi.
dent or his notwithstanding natural
result OF the spoiis system-stopped
the mouths of the sincere friends of
REFORM"
All this is true. Even Democratic
paper can afford to tell the truth
about the administration now. But
the new administration should not
make sham or farce Of civil service
reform, as the Cleveland administra.
ton has done.
Wherever inefficient or unworthy
men have been put into Office they
should be removed. There would be
justice too.-justice both to ,ndividu.
ais aud to the public service-in re.
storing to Office good and capable men
who have been removed to make room
for those whose chief or only claim
was that OF par,isanship. But in OIL
ces where incumbcnts were allowed to
serve out their terms, and their sue
cessors are capable and worthy men,
it would be wrong to make removals,
just for the sake Of putting Republi-
cans in the place of Democrats. There
ought not to be change in the whole
personnel of the public service upon
every change in the Presidential office.
The public Offices exist for the pu bile,
and should not be put up as prizes to
he fought for at every Presidential
election. The decent way is to let
officials who are capable and worthy
serve out their terms. Let this be
established as general rule, and
here will be great gain, both to poll.
lies and to the public service.
