The bill stands greatly in need
ofjudiciary amendment. We should
be sorry to see it rejected, when a
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 nation whose govern
ment is in the hands of spoilsmen.
There is no hope of fruitful leglsla-
ton when parties are dominated by
office.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.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-10-06

The point thus selected for at
tack is the one good feature of the
bill. Whatever faults it may have
in details. it has at least the virtue
OF being ct least a formal assertion
OF the merit principle. The bill
which the committee have reported
is certainly decided improvement
on the one originally introduced
into the House. It embodies a
number of the amendments sug-
gested in the ADVERTISER several
weeks since. 1t still, however, has
such serious defects that it's pas
sage in it's 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 it's 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. a 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
a purely partizan Commission. 1t
is perfectly safe to say that unless
the statute is administered by per-
sons in sympathy with it's pro-
visions, its 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 but 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 a waste of time, energy
and money to pass 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

SCOTT WAS HERE.
A Denver SIeuth Who Failed to Fol-
low a Good Clue

Officer Davis, OF the Denver police and
Sheriff Davy of Larimer county, were
here from Fort Collins all of Wednesday.
They iourneyed overland from that place
in search of Scott, the murderer of Nellie
Ryan. A man fitting closely the descrip-
ton of the murderer was seen in Collins
Monday and was known to have left on
foot that day.
Peters and Davy enlisted Marshal
Schnitger in their behalf here and in a
few hours the Cheyenne chief of police
had put the pursuers on the trail of the
man they were chasing.
Marshal Schnitger learned that the
Fort Collins Scott reached this city be-
tween 2 and 3 o'clock Tuesesday morn
ing. The mar was completely worn out,
was pale and wore a general air of ex-
haustion. He dragged himself YEARLY
to a room, leaving a call for s o'clock, at
which hour he promptly arose and
breakfasted. He gave the name Of
Brown. The man remained in town un-
til Tuesday afternoon, when he left for
the West and it is thought he is now a
member of a steel gang between Chey-
enne and Laramie.
The Denver policeman, who had a per.
sonal acquaintance with Scott, tackled
this clue reluctantly. He expressed the
belief that there was nothing in
it before hearing half the story.
With Marshal Schaitger's assist
ance, Peters conducted an inves-
tigation. All persons who had seen the
suspect were closely questioned at length
and the fact hat the traveller was the
Collins Scott was pretty well established,
but not at all to the satisfaction OF Peters.
The witnesses we're unable to tell whether
the fellows moustache was heavy or
light in the center and there was a on
fict of opinion about the foot wear. In
every other particular the description
fitted Scott.
Peters declined to follow this trail,
though urged to do SO by Marshal Schnlt
ger. The entire Denver force has spent
days on clues that looked silly on the sur.
face, but Peters would do nothing with
this. He was prevailed upon to send a
telegram to Sherman, bnt would not
travel thirty miles when there vas a good
chance of capturing Colorado's most no
torlous criminal.

CHIEF ~CLERKSHIPS.
H. w. Henderson Goes TO Omaha and
Is succeeded nv j.. r.. Brennan.

Fl, W. Henderson. who has been chief
clerk of the Wyoming division of the
Union Pacific here for three years. and
who has a record of nine years s~atisfac-
tory service, has been promoted. He is
to be chief clerk of the Nebraska division
under Mr.. Barr, with Office at Omaha.
THE LEADER Joins the young mans
host of friends in congratulating him on
his advancement.
During incumbency Of the responsible
position which he leaves, Mr.. Henderson
has frequently, in addition to supervising
the clerical work OF the Office, directed
the operation of the entire Wyoming
division, and it is not fattery to say that
he has displayed managerial ability of a
high order. His preferment is a recog-
hition of his knowledge of practical and
office ~railroading.
Personally the new superintendent of
the Nebraska division Is a royal good
fellow. He is fond of society and will be
missed in this circle. His departure is to
be more regretted because it may result
in the removal oil the family to Omaha.
Mr.. Henderson will probably still have
business interests in Cheyenne.
Mr.. j. r. Brennan. or Bob" Bren-
nan as he is called by his intimates. sue
ceeds Mr.. Henderson and is qualified for
the place by education and training. He
has been in the Office four years and has
had practical experience as an operator
and dispatcher.

The Cheyenne National bank yester-
day increased its capital stock $50, 600,
from $780, 900 to sl50,000. The con-
tinuous forward movement of the Chey-
enne National-the youngest banking
house in the city, established in 1856
must be peculiarly gratifying to its man
agement who have witnessed its wonder.
full growth through a period of almost
unprecedented depression. The bank is
now one OF the most substantial financial
institutions oil the West and is constantly
growing as IS evidenced by its increased
capital stock.

A STRONG WIND.
The Breeze of Saturday Carried a Car
Top TO Colorado.


Last Saturdays sixty mile an hour
breeze did considerable more damage
than has yet been reported. Nearly
every day since some new evidence of the
force of the gale has come to light. Its
terrific power could scarcely be compre-
hended by those in sheltered places.
At Harvey, a station neal TIE Siding,
and one of the hill points where the wind
is always notably violent, a stock car had
been set on a side track in an exposed
place. 1t was block and could not be
moved, and the manner of its construc-
ton deied the wind in the matter of
tipping it. The assault was fierce
and prolonged. Finally old Boreas
reared back on his pastern joints, howled
in rage, spit on his hands and took a fresh
hold on that stock car. This time some
thing had to give. There was a strain
and the roof OF the car was lifted from its
place. The top Just hoated on the
breeze for an instant, but after being
fully looSened from its moorings the speed
was accelerated and the car root sailed
toward Colorado at a terrific rate.
Ten miles below Harvey the strange
flyer was sailing low and collided with a
barn, knocking the structure endwise. A
claim agent has been dispatched to settle
with the barn owner.
The remarkable fight OF the car roo.
ended nea- Fort Collins, where it dropped
in a field but little damaged. 1t will be
shipped to Omaha.
This story may read a trife like a devla
ton from fact, but it is given as reported
here and vouched for by several railroad
men. If there is any desire to exagger
ate a brakeman would have been placed
atop the car roof.
A portion of the west end of the old
coal chute has been blown down. Re
pairs will be made Immediately.
