THE POLITICS OF ENGLAND.
The Grand Old Man Says the Government
Program is Detective.

The Grand Old Man Says the Governments
Program is Detective.
LONDON, Dec. 2.-The meetings Of the liberal
federation began in Manchester to-day. Mr..
Gladstone was present and delivered an ad-
dress in Free Trade ball. In the course OF his
address he said the local government bill did
not meet the legitimate demands of the coun-
try. He advocated the granting TO county
councils the powers of taxation, the control of
the police and the liquor traffic the care of the
poor, power to deal with the question of
ground rents and to form district councils; and
he would possibly go further and establish the
parish principle of government and thus con-
yey to the rural population the first elements
of their public education and create sense of
public duty, which is the highest aim of
statesman. Mr.. Gladstone said that since 1885
there had been enormous stimulus to the
public mind in regard to dwellings for
the poor, enfranchisement lease-holds, Crofter
legislation, shorter parliaments the disestab-
lishment Of the church in Scotland and Wales,
the currency and the house of lords The pro-
visions for direct Scottish and Welsh home
rule, Mr.. Gladstone said, must be dealt with by
future parlaments.
He referred TO his approaching eightieth
birthday and said il was not probable that he
should have direct interest In many future
great reforms. When the idea of devoluton, es-
pecially with reference to Irish affairs, should
become more familiar, parliament would be
able to address itself TO the discharge of its
duties. and would be relieved of an intolerable
burden.
The state of affairs In the Turkish empire,
Mr.. Gladstone said, is again before the English
people. The transactions in Crete and Armenia
are dissatisfying and incidents have occurred
which require TO be brought home to the con-
science Of the British people. II was difficult
to deal with Turkey. He trusted that the
government would not use honeyed words in
matters involving property, liberty, life and
female honor. The country would not admit
apologies and palliations for cruelties and
wickedness. Mr.. Gladstone predicted liberal
victory at the next election for members of
parliament. lie advocated an amendment to
the registration laws removing the anomaly of
a plurality of votes and the establishment OF a
system of one vote for one man. 80.
Mr.. Balfour, the chief secretary for Ireland,
in bis speech at Glasgow to-day, set forth the
ideas OF the government on the subject OF a
proposed Irish college. He proposes that gov

lege, in which the regular curriculum shall be

The Commissioners Take sly Dig at Sena-
tor FarweIrs Pet scheme.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The civil service
commission has made its sixth annual report
which is merely q review OF work done. Last
year 10000 applicants were examined and the
commission wants 5000 next year. The re-
port says:
The merit system Of making appointments to
minor governmental positions, cOutrasted with
the patronage system, whereby these appointments
were made as the rewards OF personal or political
service is no longer in the merely experimental
stage. 1t is not on probation. 1t has been given
full trial. wherever this trial has been fair the
system has worked admirably.
It is not contenjed that the system Is ideally per-
feet; no governmental methods From time TO
time there have been shown certain defects in the
working Of the civil service law and rules, though
OF these defects already have been and IL Is be.
lieved that the majority of the remainder will
be- remediCd But Il is most emphatically contended
that the merit system shows TO very great advantage
when compared with any other whether actual
proposed; and this Is especially the case when
the comparison is made with the patronage
system, which IL Is now slowly. but surely,
supp Gnting. The fundamental propositions of
the new system is that every American citizen
has a right to serve the public provided that
his services needed, if, on his merits, he Is able
show that he is the most capable of filling the
position he seeks aud all he is required to do is to
show this superior capacity in fair competition with
other American citizens. In other words, the sys-
all, and, therefore, IL is essentially American and
essentially democratic. The objectof the law is TO
give to the average American citizen what Il takes
object is understood by some men in public
life may be gathered from recent proposals
70 parcel out all the Offices among the different
congressional districts according the political faith
of the congressman representing them. This would,
OF course. simply mean a revival of the patronage
system with an added touch OF chaos IT Il Is sppaT;
that Is needed Is TO divide the oces among the poll
