Rev. +. q. Wheeler, accompanied by
his wife, remained for several days

the Chapel Car Syndicate" are large
investors on this coast and especially
interested in the development of Bap-

our richest mines are within ten

CIVIL SERVICE IN MARY =
LAND,

Senator Writ, of Cecil county, has
proposed law at Annapolis which,
if enacted, will institute great re-
form in political appointments in
Maryland The bill provides for the
creation of a civil service commission
which shall serve the state without
other pay than the actual expense OF
its members. 1t shall be nonpartisan
in character, and its members shall
be subject to appointment or re.
moval by the Governor, except that
he must state his reasons for removal
of member in writing.
The duties of the commission
shall be to organize a system OF
civil service examinations covering
ali the minor appointments in the
State of Maryland and the City OF
Baltimore. Appointments shall be
made upon the basis OF fitness as
determined by an examination in
which questions OF political faith or
religious belief do not appear. The
object of the measure is to give
Maryland and its incorporated cities
non-partisan public service, and
the competitive examination rules
apply to all appointees except heads
OF departments and their immediate
subalterns.
The proposed law gives in detail
the regulations which are to govern
the commission as we'll as the ap
pointing power No nominations
or suggestions are to be considered
from Congressman, legislative re-
representatives. or persons high in au-
thority, and any efforts on the part
OF such persons to Influence appoint
ments is subject to fine or imprlson-
ment or both. The penal features
OF the law are quite elaborate, and,
unless they are disregarded, would
leave the appointing power wholly
untrammeled to make its selections
from lists prepared by non-partisan
competitive examinations.
The bill is exhaustive and provides
for thorough going civil service re-
form in the state. Theoretically and
practically the proposed law is a
somewhat drastic and extreme meas,
ure, and yet it is in no wise beyond
the claims which civil service re.
formers are seeking to realize in ma
ton, state and city. No doubt the
bill will call forth spirited discus.
sion in the Legislature, whether il
becomes a law or not. 1t will also
direct attention to the present mode
of appointments and act as means
of public enlightenment, if nothing
more.
But the proposed law has many
points of excellence, and the hope
should not be abandoned that it may
receive favorable consideration at
the hands Of the Legislature. BAL.

A hint is given the advocates OF
free silver coinage by the leading
Republican organ of New York,
the Tribune, which, commenting
upon the beginning, last Saturday,
of the expectation OF gold to Europe,
says that it is likely to have good
effect financially and politically, as
lit will tend to fix the attention OF
practical business men of all sorts
and all shades of political opinion
upon the necessity OF keeping the
control OF the Government in the
hands of those who can be trusted
10 maintain honest money" This
suggestion of a certain danger threat
ening the Democracy should be not
less acceptable says the Philadelphia
Ledger because it is of Republican
origin. II is not its sourcc-it is the
inherent truth OF it which is to be
considered. Practical business men
of all sorts and conditions, and of
all shades OF political opinion, will
resent as an injury to their business
any and every purpose of the Dem
ocracy to destroy the safe and hon
est gold standard.
Ii there are any leaders of the
Democratic party who have influence
sufficient to control the coming
caucus OF the majority OF the House,
they should use it in such wise, and
effective manner as to, at least, post
pone any sort of Congressional &C
ton on the silver question. There
appears to be nothing so much need
ed now as time and opportunity to
allow the masses OF the West and
South, who have been beguiled by
the free silver sophiStry, to learn the
truth. 1t will not take long under
even the present Silver law to show
the pernicious effects Of the excessive
coinage of that metal, which, it
made free and unlimited as a legal
tender, would quickly and Inevitably
cause gold to be hoardc1or driven
out of the country. Z
