EuuuIu =, CARA IN fOrbW.
All Of the present tendencies are in
the direction of greater stability in pub
lie life. The man who enters a
Washington department through one Of
the lowest clerkships, after passing a
competitive examination, can count
upon keeping his place indefinitely ii
he continues efficient, with the prospect
OF promotion to higher grades from
time to time. The man who aspires to
a congressional career, II he once
secures an election to the House from
a district controlled by his party, may
in most OF the States expect a series OF
reflections rs tho reward Of conspicu-
Gus merit, with the chance OF some day
changing his seat TO the Senate chamber.
The man who would leave name as a
Judge may reasonably hove that, II he
reaches the bench OF IN inferior court,
he will not suddenly be turned adrift
after brief term, but that he will be
advanced to a higher rank as varancies
occur, and so be able to spend all his
active years in the employment which
he would most enjoy. In short, the
Republic seems to be steadily recover
ing from its strange delusion that public
life is the one occupation in the world
where experience is OF no value, and
where the best service is to be secured
by the most frequent changes.
