CIVIL SERVICE.

We shall now have an opportunity OF seeing
what degree of sincerity there was in the Re
publican professions about civil service reform.
During the campaign just closed the Admins
tration was violently assailed on account of al
legged recreancy to the principles laid down by
Mr. Cleveland at the outset OF his Presidential
career IS. F. AHd.
Yes, we certainly shall have full oppor-
'tunity of judging during the next four
years of the sincerity of the Republican
party as declared friend of civil service
reform. If 1t fails to prove it, it will be
visited by the just condemnation of The
people. But we do not believe that it will
fail. The party is as solemnly pledged tc
the reform as it is possible to bind any pc
litical organization; the new President
has given in his adhesion to it with calm
ness and sincerity. He was friend and
advocate of the reform long prior to his
.entertaining any ambition to become the
chief magistrate of the nation. There is
therefore, every reason to expect the new
Administration to be more than the passive
friend of the reform of the civil service.
The danger to the liberties of the people
in the diversion of Federal patronage to
forward party ends is undeniable; the in
jury to public business conducted under a
system that holds subordinates in office
accountable first to party bosses, is positive
Both these evils must be reduced to the
lowest possible minimum, and service in
place made dependent upon faithfulness
and ability, and not be put at the mercy
of political autocrats. The Republican
party has ALWAYS proved equal to any ma

THE San Francisco Examiner, with
effrontery that would make marble image
blush, congratulates itself that, so far as it
was concerned, the late campaign was
cleanly, and adds that whatever mud was
thrown came from the Republican press,
and not from the Examiners hands. Here
is coolness that amounts to frigidity. Can
the EGdminer point to solitary personal
assault that was made by the reputable
independent press upon Mr.. Cleveland or
his family? Can it put its finger upon a
statement made concerning Mr.. Cleveland
rejecting upon his honor, honesty or per-
sonal conduct? Can it specify any allega-
tion made in the interest of General Har-
rison not founded on truth, or that was at
all comparable to the dollar-a-day" lie
and labor strike libel promulgated by falsi-
tiers under the patronage of Democratic
managers? When the San Francisco Err
aniner pirates of campaign cleanliness and
pharisaically elevates its palms in protes-
tation of its freedom from cause for re-
proach, it is time to ask if there is, indeed.
any limit possible to journalistic mea-
dacity.

front of the RECORD UNION office. Bv this
time the crowd had grown to fully $500
people, and the cheer they sent up for the
RECORD UNION was so loud that it could
be heard far out in the suburbs. Cheers
were also given for Harrison and Morton,
all the Republican nominees, for protec-
ton, etc. They cheered for fully ten min
utes.
Loud calls were made fer Judge benson,
who mounted the steps in front of the
RECORD UNION Office ana made short and
spirited address.
General Hart was also called out, and

EXPERIENCE proves that the opening of
the polls at SO early an hour as 6 o'clock is
not in the interest Of honest elections. At
that hour comparatively few people are
present at the polling places, and the OPP
portunity therefore presents for the perpe-
tration of frauds that would be very much
more difficult of Accomplishment later in the
day. With our election precincts circum-
scribed so as to embrace but three hundred
and fifty voters, the necessity for the longer
voting period does not exist. 1t will give
ample opportunity for all honest voting if
the polls are not opened until o'clock
A. NJ, and remain open until an hour after
working hours. There is scarcely anv
doubt but that gross frauds were perpe-
.rated in the election in San Francisco.
and that the opportunity for stufTing the
boxes is greatest there in the early morn
ing hour, just as it is anywhere. 1t is not
desirable to do much patchwork upon our
election laws but where it is clear that i'm
provement can be made, there should be
no hesitancy about effecting it.

In the planning for the school election
in this city, four weeks hence, and which
already engages the attention of local pol
iticians, let not the demand of the people
for change in the composition of educa-
tional Boards be ignored. 1t is eminently
right and proper, matter of simple
justice, that the women of this city be
given representation by two of their sex
upon the Board Of Education. There is no
sufficient reason to be advanced why they
should be denied. There is every reason
for putting this element, which is so closely
related to the education of youth, into
administrative positions in our school

THE BURIAL OF THE MUGwUMP,

The Mugwump OF the East can find no
comfort in the result of the election. 1t
buries him deeper than the volcanic ash
inferred the citizens of Pompeii. The
MugwUmp supported Mr.. Cleveland and
his policy, and both are showed under.
He labored for the election of Warner
Miller, who is unfortunately beaten. He
desired and advocated the election Of
Mayor Hewitt, but that gentleman was
defeated. He fought the Republican party
with bitterness, and it is triumphant. He
exerted himself to defeat General Harri-
son. but that candidate is chosen by the
people to be President of the United
States. He trained with the South IN its
solid opposition to the Republican party,
and finds that an almost solid North has
condemned his judgment There is no
further place in political history for the
Mugwump, as We now know him.
IT LOOKS now as If political calculations
in this State must be based upon ground
work that places San Francisco, with its
bondage to bossism, upon the Democratic
side, in opposition to the Republican
strength of Alameda, Los Angeles and
Sacramento counties; the other counties
of the State dividing political strength
about evenly, with a slight tendency to a
Democratic majority after final balance
is struck. The next Legislature will prob
ably be Republican, and if so, one of its
duties should be 10 legislate so far as is
wisely possible, to augment the odiousness
of bossism, and break down all the strong
holds it has under the law, and they are
not few, in the shape of Commissions
and side Legislatures and patronage boards
that find San Francisco fruitful field.
The legislators from the country will, we
believe, be found ready to second any effort
Of the people of San Francisco to rid
themselves of the heavy hand of the boss,
and to bring the administration of the
local government SO close to the people that
they will be able to dispense with political
dictators. II is herculean task, but those
who believe it possible of accomplishment
are not few
