o CIVIL SERVICE.

The country has a civil service law
and q civil service commission. The
government does not know what to do
with the law: the commission embar-
raises IL. In essence the law is the Gre
alton of the republicans, the persistent
opposition to il comes alike from dem
ocrats and republicans, and these critics
do not speak for any particular quarter
of the country: the opposition is In no
sense sectional. In adeclamatory way,
the republican party adyertises itself as
the patron of reformation of the civil
service and pledges itself to the execu
,ion of the existing law. II does this
in the party's national platforms, in
presidential messages, in the high
sounding resolutions adopted at state
conventions. For that matter the dem
ocrats have recognized the existence of
the civil service code, and we do not
remember that they have ever fought
the law in any formal or official declar-
alton.
There are republicans whose hostility
toward the civil service law is so in
tense that they will not admit its re-
publican paternity. some of these men
took the floor in the house of repre-
sentatives, day before yesterday, openly
TO disown the law and all its belong
ings. Mr.. lIouck, of Tennessee, is a
republican, but he declared himself OPP.
posed 10 this fifth wheel To the wagon"

Mr.. Dunnell, representing a republican

will not enter the public service. THE

system" he said. OF course
many democrats took the other
side of the question, but in

LOOK TO THE WEST.

For a dozen years the republican
party has been seeking to create in the
West a new political empire for itself,
to make up for that which IL is gradu-
ally losing in the East. IL has been
seeking to fix up things so that it can
get along without New York in a presi-
Dental election, and TO that end it has
sacrificed votes and principles with
ready alacrity whenever il seemed pos
sible to strengthen itself in the western
states without throwing overheard en-
tirely its eastern sta ongholds, Pennsyl-
yania and New England.
The republican party should not be
allowed a monopoly of this business
that is of the westward looking part of
IT,. The principle-sacrilicing feature of
its proceedings is something to n mono
poly of which it is entirely welcome.
The democratic party is more entitled
To the West than is the republican
party. and needs IL more. The demo-
cratic party has for a long time been
even more dependent than the republi-
can party OH the vote of New York.
The day when this ceases to be true will
be the most glorious in the history of
the democratic party for half a century.
New York is in the hands of the
democrats on any fair election. II has
been regularly sold into the hands of
the republicans I'm every recent presi-
Dental year, and only once has there
been a failure 10 deliver the goods. The
democratic party has thus been regu-
larry deprived of that which belonged
10 il: the republican party has rs regu-
larry gained that 10 which il had no
claim. To lose what one actually has
is worse than to fail to gain what one
would like To have. Therefore the stu
alton of the democratic party with ref.
erence TO New York is worse than that
of the republicans and, in view of the
almost certainty that what has been
done will be done over again, is the ne
cessity with the democratic party To be
rid OF its dependence upon New York
greater than the similar necessity of the
republican party. New York is a last
resort which the republicans may gain
any time il they put up the necessary
collateral: il is a dead weight which
the democratic party must carry.
For years the whole policy of the
democracy has been shaped to suit
New York, and continuous disaster has
resulted. II is time that sort of bust,
ness was ended. The West is thenatu,
raj field for the growth of the demo.
cratic party. The tariff that is crush.
ing the life out of the vast agricultural
interests of the West is a republican
tariff. The trusts and other combina.
tions of capital that are monopoliz.
ing the manufacturing and
mercantile interests of the
country at the expense of the produ.

How Secretary Tracy Lost an Eye.

man who was "A pupil in General Tracy's
school at the time he lost il. Said he:
.Cawanna is a portion of the village of
Owego, which at one time had a rough
population. II was the center of lumber
trade, and the farmers came there, too.
The young men were strapping, great big
fellows, Injured 10 hard work, but having
little book knowledge, and there was a
little school house there where some of
them tried to get n little learning, and
where others went 10 kic up a row. They
had time enough in he winter months TO
get eight or ten weeks attendance on
school. The teachers In winter time were

when General Tracy was made teacher.
He came among us rs rough ookin as
any of us, with coarse clothes, n slouch
hat and cow-hide boots. One day he
gave a small boy a whipping, which some
of the big boys thought was too severe.
They raised a rebellion then and there.
Ink bottles, books, states, bricks from the
foundation under the stoves, and even
the two or three chairs i'm the room were
hurled at Tracy. He stood his ground
well, while the younger boys and girls
fled from the room A big scholar
named Wesley Tappin threw a slate in
such a way that the corner of the frame
penetrated Tracy's eye. Tracy was so
badly injured that school was adjourned

Had the aim of the disputing house
members been to direct the discussion
of the civil service law, in its historical
aspect, along the true line, they might
properly have taken up the remark OF
Mr.. Biggs. The law is essentially the
creation of the republicans. For years
they had been vigorously urged by h
press of relatively independent tone 70
frame it. AS a rule the partisan repub-
lican newspapers were not found to be
~nOticeably ardent I'm advocating the re-
form. In this instance the republican
press was hardly in advance of the
party's membership i'm congress as pio-
neers of new methods for appointment
TO the civil offices. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the reform would probably
have experienced slow growth, but an
event that startled the country gave to
the movement a wonderful impetus
that event was the assassination of
President Garfield. That tragedy grew
out of the persistence of an erratic
man who demanded ar Office and, dur
ing the intense excitement that fol
lowed, the cry for new methods In the
service was effectively raised. Forth.
with, republicans in congress took up
the question, and the final passage of
the bill was made the easier by the
fact that i'm congress were several
democrats who were willing to help the
cause by voice and vote. Mr.. Pendle-
ton was one of them and,-anOmalous
as il always has seemed-the late Mr..
Cox was another. He made an earnest
fight I'm favor Of the measure.
Confessedly the civil service reform
law is little better than a failure. The
officers having its execution in charge
are scoffed at, and too often they have
merited the scofing. The country is
apt to look upon tine commission as a
sort of self satisiied hierarchy which,
in its ministratiOns, is quite out of
sympathy with popular ideas. The
fashion is to declare that the methods
provided I'm the civil service code are
not suited TO the genius of American
lnStllutlOIS -WOTu tIdt aIt upBti-
emily broad enough and yet they give
utterance to a crude and narrow no
ton. Less than two years ago, the
same rotund phrase might safely
have been aimed at the Australian bal
lot reform, which certainly has an un-
American look at first: yet that reform
happened to make a popular hit and
those who have tried IL call it good.
enough American.
AS to the civil service law. perhaps
the fault is with the men who try to
execute It; perhaps it is to be found in
the evident insincerity of the political
parties that are dealing with it; per-
haps il is essentially good theory but
bad practise; possible the old-fashion
spoils system is not as bad as they say
il is. These are elements i'm the ques.
ton that cannot be discussed this
morning. Meanwhile, the STANDARD
believes that the day is distant whom
II can look upon the civil service law,
in anything like the present form, and
say il is good.
