Theodore Roosevelt denies that in his west

The fitness of man to hold public Office
should not be ascertained by irrelevant inquir-
les. Whether he did valiant and efficient work
in carrying certain political primaries, and
whether he knows how many buttons Noah wore
on his vest, and if not why not, have alike
nothing to do with the case. The republic is
not compelled to choose between these two
methods Of determining candidates availa-
bility, both being Objectionable. The merit
system, as distinguished from the spoils sys-
tenn, calls for sensible methods of getting at
the general intelligence and special quaIiica-
tions of candidates for Office and the practical
efficiency Of candidates for promotion. The
public has right to demand and does demand
the devising of suitable tests of fitness in the
reform of the civil service. But it is as well
settled as anything in politics can be that the
public will never endure a return to a system
which lays the greatest stress upon the candi-
dates answer to the inquiry: what work,
dirty or otherwise, have you done for the
party?'

Sir Henry Knight, ex-Iord mayor Of London,
who is visiting this country, will have pleas
ant idea Of the atmosphere of geniality envelop-
ing American politics to carry back with him.
He wanted to see how our sovereigns were
trained in the rudiments of craftsmanship, so
he accepted an invitation to attend the meeting
OF the Chicago common council the other
evening. OF course he was invited to address
that body. Meanwhile one of the practical
jokers who always infest such assemblages had
laid in box Of ''loaded" cigars which he offered
freely to those about him. The distinguished
stranger had scarcely begun his remarks be-
fore the fireworks entertainment opened, and a
succession of bangs and fixes and smells. with
little explosions of red and green fire, greeted
his most eloquent periods. At each new pyro-
technic demonstration the whole crowd would
yell with delight, and cat-calls and cries of
''Put him out" rent the air. The police had to
swoop down now and then upon some noisy Of
fender and hustle him out of the room Sir
Henry continued his address in spite of the con-
fusion, and carried it through to the end
which, with unconscious irony, consisted in
reference to the excellence of our system of
municipal corporations, in their faculty for
accommodating themselves to their surround
ings." II the ex-lord mayor ever writes book
about his travels, let Us hope that he will deal
mercifully with Chicago's common council.
