THE CIVIL SERVICE BILL,

The Civil Service Bill, which is
now being considered by the
House, has aroused q storm of
opposition coming chiefly from the
native members. This opposition is
not aimed at the details of the
measure, at its practical defects and
shortcomings, but at It's underlying
principle. 1t is direct attack
upon the merit system, as opposed
to the spoils system. The frank
ness with which Kahookano. Ma
wahi and others announce their
adherence to the Jacksonian
maxim, "To the victors belong
the spoils," leaves, in point of can.
dor at least nothing to be desired.
whatever may be objected to it in
other particulars. The now famous
Flanagan OF the Chicago Conven-
ton with his inquiry: IF we are
not here for the offices, what are
we here for ?" was not more ox
pllcit than his Hawaiian disciples
have been.

MR.EDIToR-Appended to sweep
ing charges of misstatement by the
Bulletin against the Friend, which
follow the old habit of the former
paper in failing to specify anything,
is one charge which caused us
genuine surprise, viz: that we mis-
represented-and Judging from the
editorial indignation : insulted the
bulletin, by stating that it had be-
come the regular organ of the Ma
tlonal Reform Party. We certainly
believed that to be the fact. In
deed, what else was meant bv the
recent change? Our object in max
ing the statement in the connection
mat we did was partly to indicate
that the present management was
not responsible for former habit
OF the paper on which we were ami
madverting. If our statement in
any way wronged OF maligned the
Bulletin, we ask its pardon.

The bill stands greatly in need
ofjudiciary amendment. We should
be sorry to see it rejected, when
few changes might make it useful.
The bill, properly amended, will
be in the line of progress and re-
form. There can be no permanent
safety for q nation whose govern
ment is in the hands of spoilsmen.
There is no hope of fruitful Ieglsla-
ton when parties are dominated bv
ofice-seekers. Demerit is the only
just ground for removals, merit
should be the sole basis for appoint
ments. Every true lover of Hawaii
should help, not to kill the bill. but
to secure the passage of truly
wise and useful measure.

is certainly decided improvement
on the one originally introduced
into the House. 1t embodies a
number of the amendments sug-.
eested in the ADVERTISER several
weeks since. 1t still, however, has
such serious defects that its pas
sage in its present shape is not
likely to be of any use. Without
going into an exhaustive analysis,
it will be sufficient to call attention
to two defects which we noticed in
the bill in its original shape, and
which the committees draft does
nothing to remedy. The first is
the failure to require that the Com
missioners shall be drawn from the
different political parties. Such a
requirement is prime feature Of
the American Act, on which this
is supposed to be based. There as
here it is an indispensable con-
dition to the successful operation
of the law. Without it there can
be no guarantee that the Commits
sion will be appointed in good
faith, with the sincere intention of
carrying out the intent of the law.
Without it there will be nothing to
hinder the Cabinet from appointing
purely partizan Commission. It
is perfectly safe to say that unless
the statute is administered by per-
sons in sympathy with its pro-
visions, it's benefits are likely to
prove entirely imaginary.
The second defect in the bill to
which allusion has been made is it's
failure to make preferment to Office
dependent upon standing in exam
nations. This is an omission which
vitiates the bill. What is to hinder
the Commissioners from appointing
the candidate who has passed the
poorest examination, and ignoring
entirely candidates who have passed
brilliantly.
The fact Is that the bill, in pro-
viding that not merit bat that race
and length of residence shall be the
prevailing qualifications for Office,
simply destroys itself. Race and
length of residence may be very
desirable qualifications for Office,
but they have nothing to do with
the merit system. If they are to
be the determining factors in the
case, the examination will be super
fuous, and may as we'll be omitted.
1t seems waste of time, energy
and money to pass a twenty-page
statute only to provide that three
men shall examine candidates as to
their proficiency indeed, but ap-
point them according to the color
OF their skin and the length of their
residence in the country
