girls looked with admiring eyes at the
three handsome faces glowing with
pleasure at their success. The graduates
are Arthur Farwell, James Sullivan
and Frank Yoerg, all of whom will go
to the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nOlOgy at Boston, one to complete his
studies as an architect, another as
civil engineer, and the third as an cleo

to have been eagerly looked forward to

The committee on streets had long
and tedious session last evening. The
new law relating to the West side leve5
came up for discussion. This committee
applied to the city treasurer to secure
the amount needed to make the re-
Quired Improvements and had been re-
fused, the treasurer claiming that the
law was unconstitutional. The matter
was referred by the committee to the
committee on ways and means
and the corporation attorney.
Upon the petition of Aid. Pratt
the committee recommended that
the council pass an ordinance permit

present in behalf of the proposed ordi-

nance which was short time ago intro

the gentlemen interested in the matter
desired consideration of the ordinance

The vacation OF part OF LyndhurSt

referred to him.
An expense of $3.50 to improve the

A hunaWay Team Mounts One OF

At $3.50 yesterday afternoon team of
draft horses ran away, and, dashing
down Fourth street. suddenly came in
contact with cable car, as it reached
the corner of Cedar street on it's way up
town. The horses made desperate
plunge upon the grip car, jamming the
wagon pole through the first guard, and
nearly annihilating several passengers.
Luckily, the gripman, a very cool and
collected chap, seeing the imminent
peril the train was about to encounter,
while the horses were yet hundred
feet away, stopped the car. This greatly
reduced the terrific force of the coils
ion. and probably saved the car from
being wrecked. One of the horses was
right inside the grip car when vOlun-
teers, from the crowd which had gath
cred, extricated the excited beast. No
one was injured, and the horses, which
belong to Grlggs Bros, came out all
right.

An inquiry yesterday at the state

About Civil Service Reform.

THE NelU York Herald can hardly be
called paper that is extensively partisan
in its vindication of republican officials
or support of republican principles. 1t
is, however, able to discern and very
effectually to expose the hypercritical,
not to say hypocritical, attitude of the
professional civil service reformers
toward President Harrison's admins
tration. The Herald had remarked
that the reformers, while constantly
grooming about the rush of office
seekers, had never advocated the
ready cure for this evil-publicity for
call the steps in the solicitation of
office" Harper's Weekly replied that
the reform associations had favored
publicity" that they had "persist-
emily demanded that the reasons for re-
movals should be stated and placed on
file for public inspection" To this the
Herald pertinently retorts;
THAT is as relevant as though, If a man
were asked to leave the door open, he
should reply, You are mistaken. / always
shut it when go out But the reply shows
precisely why the civil service reformers so
entirely fail-as Mr. Curtis in his address
confessed-to make any real Roadway with
the public. What they aim at is the creation
of permanent civil service. They want
TO make any subordinate independent of
the president by forcing the latter to give
reasons for removing him. But the power
of summary removal of the subordnates,
with or without reason given, is one of the
most important and vital to the efficiency
and honesty OF the administration. The
possession of that power makes the presi-
dent directly and Justly responsible to the
people. To impair it or take it away from
| him, as the civil service reformers desire,
would be to lessen or extinguish this re-
sponsbility, and introduce confusion, de-
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-05-29

moralizaton and corruption into the public
service. 1t would totally disable the presi-
dent from fulfilling his oath to protect and
preserve the Constitution and faithfully
execute the laws, because 1t would deprive
him of the control of those on whom he
must depend to do the work. To require
that recommendations for Office shall be
public and not secret Is one thing to de-
mand that the president shall remove no
subordinate without public reason given is
very different thing"
In answer to the allied attacks of the
reformers and the democracy on the
administration for alleged crimes against
the spirit of civil service reform, the
Herald thus puts the pseudo reformers
to the blush--if blush can struggle
through dense accumulation of shame !:
1T is made a crime also that Mr.. Har-
rison appoints personal friends. Well per-
haps he is more sure of the honesty and
capacity of personal friends than of persons
he does not know. A president has great
responsibilities. It is very natural-and, in
our judgment, not at all improper-that he
should, in selecting men for office, turn to
friends whom he has known intimately
and can trust He is responsible for them
Then we observe a great hullabaloo about
the prodigious number of postmasters re-
moved by Mr.. Clarkson. We suppose he is
not turning out republicans And if he is
removing democrats, pray how did such a
prodigious number of them get in? Mr.
Cleveland was in Office only four years.
His was a civil service reform administra-
ton. Is il possible that he or his postmaster
general removed prodigious number of
republicans and put in the democrats whose
heads are now getting cut Off to the distress
of the bowling dervishes of civil service re-
form? The good cause Of civil service
reform gets its constant black eye from the
reformers themselves. The general public
is not blind, and it sees so much disingen-
uousness, so much bitter partisanship, so
little practical sense among the reformers
that it thinks less of the reform than that
deserves Therefore it is that this reform
has gone backward, as Mr.. Curtis con-
fessed IL had. Mr. Harrison is sure to make
some mistakes in his appointments; every
president does. He is giving more time to
office-seekers than we wish he would, but
not more than Mr.. Cleveland gave to the
same class. He is getting abused by the
office-seeking class and by the civil service
reformers, just as Mr.. Cleveland was, one
shouting that he is too slow and the other
that he is too fast But mere hy-dirt criti-
cisim, such as the combined forces of the
politicians and reformers are administering
in large doses, does not hurt a president
with the people"

Wool and Wooden Industries
of England.

w. F. Grinnell, United States consul
at Bradford, England, has prepared a
statement showing the value of de-
clared exports of wool and wooden
goods from the consular district of
Bradford to the United States. In 1864
the value of these exports was nearly
eight million dollars. Up to 1874 they
ranged yearly from eight million to
eighteen million dollars, attaining the
latter sum in 1872. From that time
they began to decline, and had dropped
in 1876 to six million, ranging from
that time to 1883 from five million to
eight million dollars. After the latter
date rapid and steady increase began,
swelling in 1888 to twenty million dol
lars. 1t is noticeable that the decline
in these exports began with the enact
ment in this country of an adequately
protective tariff on wool and woolens,
and that it dropped to and was held at
its minimum amount during the con-
tinuance of that tariff. In 1888 the
duty on wool and woolens was reduced
and the exports from this English dis
trict to the United States forthwith be-
gan to rise, and increased from ten
millions in 1884 to twenty millions in
1888, doubling in five years. The price
cf wool at Bradford in 1872 was up
wards of two and one-half times the
price in 1888, so that the twenty million
dollars of exports in the latter year
represents an enormous increase in the
quantity of goods since 1872, when
the value of the exports was only some
two million dollars less. In view of
this fact, Consul Grinnell remarks, with
great force: The increased quantity
of merchandise thus indicated as pour
ing in upon us is not only injurious be-
cause made up almost wholly of manu-
featured goods, but as to nearly thirty
per cent of the twenty million dollars
of exports it is positive menace to
the existence of one of our important
branches of manufacture-worsted and
wooden cloth" Our readers who have
followed the discussion of the tariff
question, in its relation to the pros.
perity of the sheep and wool industry,
will observe that the remarkable in
crease of exports from this English dis
trict to this country under low tariff
is contemporaneous with the disastrous
decline in the iocks and wool product
of the sheep-owners in this country
all concurrent with the reduction of the
tariff on wool and wooden goods in
lSS3-a boon to the English wool
grower and manufacturer, disaster to
his American rival.
