Reform that Has Come to Stay.

The Washington Post has uninten-
tiOnally rendered a service to the cause
Of Civil Service Reform by eliciting the
views OF Cabinet officers upon that sub
JecJ' IL set out to get unfavOrable
opinions, but came back disappointed.
The respones of Secretaries Window
ana Proctor, in particular, were useful
IN demonstrating that the competitive
systems OF appointment is not a vision
airy scheme, nor the sweet aspiration of
the "uncO guild" but has become q
practical necessity. The spoils system,
as applied to the clerical service at
least, must be discarded, because the
time has arrived when the Government
cannot be administered in that way
without encouraging such looseness
ana responsibility in the conduct of
public business that the people would
not tolerate it.
The Civil Service has grown to such
an enormous size that it no longer is
practicable for the heads of department
to select all their subordinates. The
pressure for Office is well-nigh intoler-
able, even with the protection at present
afforded by the law, and the only way
out of the difficulty is to enlarge the
scope Of the competitive system to keep
pace with the growth of the difficulty
Is enlarge the scope of the competitive
system to keep pace with the growth
of the Civil Service, or better still. to
gain upon it. The Imagination falters
at the thought of a Civil Service of
100000 emplOyees--a figure which will
be reached within a few years-or of
100000. 1t has been estimated that
the Civil Service will attain this size
within twenty years. Unless the dis
tribution of by far the greater number
OF these appointments should be sys-
temiZed as under the Civil Service law.
and the burden of selection lifted from
the shoulders of superior officers, the
transaction of public business would
come to standstill; or, in order to
gain any time for the discharge of legit-
innate duties, it would be necessary for
each chief of a department or bureau
to delegate this task to the chiefs under
him, giving them something like abso-
Lutte power.

Arresting the Tramps.
TOO MUCH AUTHORITY.

The Railroad Company will have to
uniform their men on the freight trains
or else have a bOdy-guard appointed to
get them safely through Dover. Last
week so anxious was Kinnamon. the
night Watchman to make an arrest
that he grabbed a brakeman on one of
the trains and started to Jail with him.
When asked for the offence, he told
him he was a tramp. To this the
brakeman demurred, but it required
the aid of the conductor to force Kin
namon to let up on his man. This
tramp arresting business has been car
rled to such an extreme that the public
are thoroughly disgusted with the
whole business. This way of arresting
people while walking along the high
way mOlesting no one and incarcera-
ting them in jail at the expense Of the
public is an outrage. Almost whole
carloads are captured in the night
time while asleep and run to Dover and
put in Jail at the cOuntv's exDense
Last year 40 men were put in at one
time and Justice Book came to Dover
and went into the Jail and committed
theM after they had been in iail five
hours if not days. One witnesses fees
amounted to over 500 at so cents in
each case, he being at home in bed at
the time and knew nothing of the
transaction. The Levy Court will
have to shut down upon the whole
business. Plenty of these people have
been IN the habit of coming to the same
farms to work for rs.-Sentinel.

Distribution of Seed Wheat.

The Department of Agriculture at

Its section of varieties of winter wheats
for general distribution. The list com
prises seven varieties, of which three
are new, that is, have generally only
a local cultivation, and three have
had considerable repute in some States.
but comparatively none in others. in
the latter of which only will thev be
distributed.
The spring wheats will be considered
later, as they can be distributed in the
winter and early spring.
The department has also ordered
from France five varieties of winter
wheat, three of which are of Southern
origin, and are recommended as rust
proof; the OIher two are new wheat
crosses made by Vilmorin, of Paris.
The Southern wheats are the Erich
ellie de Naples" white, bald, and the
"Rleti," red, bearded variety.
These wheats are to be distribution
iu bushel lots to the experiment stations
in the Southern States.
The other two are for distribution in
bushel lots to the experiment stations
of the Middle and Northern States.
One is called the "Dattel," a cross of
the prince Albert" and the winter
red-bearded 'Chiddam"-both English
wheats acclimated in France. The
other is the "Lamed," cross of the
Prince Albert" and the Moe" an
Odessa wheat with blue stem.
A full history and description of the
characteristics of each wheat, and in
the cases of crosses, of the wheats
crossed, will be sent with each lot, so
that the experiment can be intelligent

Decline of the Knights.

The decline Of the Knights of Labor,
au organization which at one time
promised to do much for the ameliora-
tion of working men and women, is an
interesting phenomenon. The order
in its most hourishing days probably
had membership of over half mil
lion. At the convention held in In
dianapOlis last November it was admit
ted that the membership had fallen off
100000 within a year, and measures of
retrenchment were taken in accordance
with the diminished resources. Now
according to the Chicago Knights of
Labor, which gives numerous figures
showing the wiping-Out of assemblies,
there are less than 100000 members,
and in the opinion of that journal the
order "has ceased to be factor in the
labor problem" Apparently, the prin-
ciples for which Mr.. POwderly has
stood are too advanced for the work
ingmen of to-day to accept and act
upon.

Three Miles a Minute.
THE STARTLING SPEED MADE BY Al
ELECTRIC MOTOR.

ELECIkIC MOTOR.
On a twO-mile circular track the
startling speed of two miles a minute
was Wednesday maintained for about
10 miles by the three-ton motor of the
Electro Automatic Transit Company of
Baltimore city at the grounds at Laurel
Md. This speed equals three miles
per minute on straight track. David
q. Weems, the inventor, conducted the
experiments. The company will build
at once a fve-mile circular track on
Long Island to demonstrate the prac-
tibility of the electric passenger system,
and also the automatic system which
was tried yesterday and is intended
only for light express packages, mail
matter and newspapers. Edison has
pronounced it the greatest conception
since the telegraph.
The road will be fenced in by barbed
wire, these to keep off cattle and being
insulated the wires will be uesd for
telephOning and signaling along the
line. In the new passenger system the
rails will have an upper and lower
bearing-the rail of the future, so the
SteeltOn Iron people call it. On the
wheel which runs on the upper bearing
will be the weight. The lower bearing
will be pressed from time to time by a
high rate of speed.
