Another very imposing centenary will be
that Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States to be celebrated in New York February
4, and at which ex-President Cleveland will
preside and several distinguished lawyers will
deliver addresses. Congress might appro-
priately celebrate this centenary by doing
something for the relief Of the court and the
public in the way of providing machinery for
Fastening the hearing of cases. Without such
action it may be expected that some of the
Supreme Court cases will be celebrating their
own centennials. An appellate intermediate
court, an enlarged Supreme Bench with sepa-
rate chambers, or some other plan for getting
on with the appeals that come up from the
lower courts, is absolutely indispensable, If
the dispensing Of national justice is not to fall
behind our national progress in other direc-
tiona

The persistent effort to secure a repeal of

The persistent effort to secure a repeal OF the
civil service law through dishonorable viola
ton of pledges to the people on the part of
both the great political organizations is giving
some uneasiness to the clerks and business men
Of Washington. The District shares in
the national advantages which have
been derived from the partial substitution
of the merit system of selecting Office holders
for that under which the clerkships with their
routine duties were the unquestioned spoils of
politics; and it derives also special local ad-
vantages from this improvement in govern
mental methods. Not only does the republic
receive better service for the money
which it pays In salaries when the
clerks merits, and not the complexion of
his politics, determine his tenure of office, but
the thousands Of clerks themselves who con-
stitute so important an element Of the popula-
ton of Washington, being relieved to some ex-
tent Of an annoying and demoralizing uncer-
tainty, are more efficient as workmen and less
unhappy in their lot as individuals. Stable
tenure Of Office for Industrious and intelligent
employees of the government is of local import
ance, not only in its direct bearing upon
employer and employed, but also upon
every interest of the city; for such
tenure tenuS 10 convert q numerous
and intelligent element of the capitals popula-
ton from transitory guests into BODYBUILDING
reasonably permanent citizens. Advocacy Of a
return to the spoils system proposes a halt and
backward step in political development, in
vites the government to act to its own injury
and the political parties to act to their own
disbonor, and aims blow at the whole body of
clerks and at every local interest of the capital
Speaking Of the direct concern of the people of
Washington in the retention of the merit sys-
tenn the Washington correspondent of the New
York Times says:
THE business men of Washington would have
to face another embarrassing state of things.
The clerks who now hold office with degree
Of security and who have, in the hope of re-
naming so long as they are efficient, been buy
ing homes. furnishing them, arranging for the
education Of their children, and running in
debt to do all these things, will be thrown
into great deal of distress. The dealers in
all sorts OF wares, who are advertising in the
Washington papers to attract the attention and
patronage of the government employees, will
unquestionably find themselves with a great
many worthless due bills in their hands, with
a new and untried lot of customers asking for
credit, and with the chance of changes still to
come, and more bad bills threatening In the
future"
