It seems incredible that President Cleve-
land should have laid down the rule that
officers who served under his former adj
ministration will not be Yeappointed.
This is not civil service reform; it Il not
the Jeffersonian rule of merit. The proper
inquiry. OF course. 10 not whether the APP
plicant has been An Office holder, but
whether he II . better man for the place
than any Of his competitors. 1.-The Il. his
former service should not only not be
regarded - disqualification, but - re-
commentator for appointment To ex-
cluds an excellent man from appointment
because he has once served is absurd, pro-
vided he is the superior man for the po-
sition. If the applicant is the fittest man
he should "survive," for the very essence
Of the principle of civil service reform IL
appointment on merit and retention dur.
ing fidelity.
The president. Of course. could not b
expected to appoint man today because
he had appointed him four years ago. but
he certainly ought not to rule man OF
superior merit out because he had four
years Of excellent service behind him to
recommend him for further service. A
good record in Office in the past never
ought to be treated - disqualification for
another trust in the future: the rule Of
merit il true civil service reform. but the
new rule Of President Cleveland u sub
ordinating the needs Of the public service
70 mere politics. No man should b re-
appointed II . better man can be found,
but If the man asking to be resppointsd 10
the best man, his excellent official service
should b no bar to reappointment
President Cleveland's rule, If he II cor.
rsctly reported. does not respect the high.
est needs Of the public service. but caters
to what might be termed the lowest needs
and prejudices Of mere "politics."

The city council of Chicago ordered the
city hall closed on ST. Patrick's day and
also on the birthday of Emperor William
of Germany. Mayor Washburn, in carry.
ing out the orders of the council, made
some sarcastic illusions to the action
taken and showed plainly his disapproval.
Il is entirely proper for Americans Of
foreign birth to celebrate in their own wav
the days that are set apart Is holidays in
the countries from which they came. But
the large majority Of them will doubtless
agree with Mayor Eashburn that Ameri.
can holidays should be commemorative
only Of American heroes and American
events

A NEW STATE.

The Spokane Revicv thinks It would b .
good idea to make new state BY "divid-
ing Washington at the Cascade mount
aims" and "wiping Nevada Oh tho face Of
the map" It says:
This could be done BY making . new state OF
Eastern Washington and that part OF Idaho
lying north Of the Salmon River mountatns-s
Wild range efyectually cutting on the Panhandle
from the south ana the cspitsl-and partition
ing Nevada among South Idaho. California and
Utah. The proposition II worth serious con-
sidsrstion. 1t would probably meet With ap-
prevail In congress. and ought to receive the
endorsement of nins-tenths Of the people who
would be directly affected BY the change.
This plan may seem attractive to the Re-
Siev and its Oregon friends, but there IL no
indication at the present time that the
people Of the state Of Washington are not
entirely satisfied with the existing order
Of things.

Ex-President Harrison In his speech at
Indianapolis on March expressed the
pride he felt that under his administration
had been begun the policy Of restoring the
American merchant marine to something
Of its former glory. The Democratic pre-.
tense that II the steamship New York Is
admitted to American registry any other
British-built vessel, whose owners wish
her to fly the American dag. ought to be
admitted, IL without justification. The
Americanixation of the New York was no
departure from the American policy of
protection. The significance Of the rails.
ing Of our dag on the New York was that
it stood for the construction Of American
ships Of similar character, for that 10 the
condition Of the government subsidy. The
American policy which this event stands
for IL that the building Of American ships
shall be encouraged by discrimination in
their favor; that the maintenance of
American ships shall obtain government
support such As Great Britain has for
many years extended to her merchant
marine. The steamship New York was
admitted to American registry only on the
condition that American ships should be
constructed to complete the line and the
New York sought American registry be-
cause of the liberal pay given by the
American government for carrying the
mails.
This American protective policy applied
to the sea seeks to foster American ship
building and build up American COM
merce. and in execution of this policy We
have admitted two British ships to Ameri.
can register in order to insure the build.
ing of five American steamships of the
same character. The Democratic policy
Of free ships" would admit British ships
or any other ships without discrimination
or condition. or this American policy of
protection applied to the building up of
our ship yards and our merchant marine.
the Philadelphia Press says:
Under the policy Of FREQ snips American ship
yards would never have been in u position to
build such splendid vessels Is the New York
aud Psria But the American policy has en-.
soled them TO provide the plant 70 construct
ships equal or superior TO the best aflost II
has enabled our great iron and steel establish.
ments TO produce the requisite materials on
favorable terms 1t has advanced the various
branches OF construction TO q point where
American ship builders like the Cramps can
enter upon this work on substantially equal
terms with their foreign competitors. The great
movement of which the raising OF the nsRt IN
the New York 10 . signal. instead Of being de.
parture from the American policy, 10 Q noble
vindication OF Its wisdom and q magnificent
fruttion OF the legislation IN which President
Harrison has been leader.

The preparations of the Chinese 0ix
Companies to fight tho Geary anti-Chinese
oct In the courts foreshadow long contest,
which is likely to make this Law an Ok.
pensiss and perhaps practically inopera-
tive enactment. Section 6. of the act Of
May 0. 1892. requires that all Chinese
laborers residing in the United States az
that date. and entitled 70 remain here,
shall "apply to tho collector Of internal
revenue Of their respective districts within
one year after the passage Of this act for .
certificate of residence" Any such laborer
found without certificate after that period
may be arrested and taken before United
States judge, whose duty it shall be to
order that he Do deported from the United
States" unless he can satisfactorily show
that by reason Of accident, sickness or
otAs unavoidable cause he was unable to
procure certificate. He may also avoid
tbs penalty by proving that he had Ger.
tiiicass and lost it, In which case . dupli.
cate will DO issued to him at his expense.
But he must sfiirmatively show, when ar
rested BY any Of the prescribed officers, on
the testimony of at least one white wit
ness. that he was Q lawful resident on
May 8, 1857 Section Of this act author
ises imprisonment, to an extent not ex-
cseding one year, Of "any such Chinese
person. or person Of Chinese descent, con.
victed and adjudged to be not lawfully
within the United States."
In July last the internal revenue Office at
Washington City issued forms of applica-
ton for registry. which required all
Cinnamon to place their names, records
and photographs in the hands of the
authorities. The census of 1890 gave the
number OF Chinese In the United States at
10000. but this enumeration 10 not be-
lieved to be correct. There are probably
ct least los. 900 Chinese in the country, and
Of these but very small number have
complied with the registration law, and a.
. whole the Chinese have taken no steps
20 obey the law. A grand rush Of Chinese
for certificates is expected at the last mo-
ment The law gives them until May S
next to make application.
II any large number of Chinese should
not comply with the law it would cost
millions to herd and maintain them while
the constitutionality of the law was being
tested in the courts. and then to transport
them to China The present prospect is
that the Chinese will obey the law and
test their rights in the courts. There 10
grave doubt Of the constitutionality of the
act, as at least one United States Judge
has ruled against the validity OF the act.
