WHAT CLEVELAND WILL DO.

A New York Organ Pretends to Give the
Presidents Ideas on Civil service.
New YORK. May 2l.-The World this
morning. in its editorial page. prints the
following. in double-leaded type. from its
Washington correspondent: Tho Presi-
dents civil-service policy has not changed
since it was announced in the World on
Saturday. May ID. A malicious report TO
the contrary was invented by newspaper
openly hostile to Mr.. Cleveland and really
antagonistio to the Democratic party. Mr..
Cleveland has no intention of
refusing to make removals for political
reasons unless offensive partisanship is
charged and proved. He will make and
countenance. however. q good many remov-
ais. and every vacancy thus m ade will be
filled by Democrat. Mr.. Cleveland, In
his last Administration, experienced great
trouble from the partisanship of bureau and
division chiefs. Men whom he had re.
tanned IN office did their utmost to embar-
raes his administration. They were willing
to risk their places for the purpose of dis
crediting the Democratic administration.
They were not civiI-service refOrmers.
They were spoilsmen. appointed for parti.
san reasons under the spoils sy stem. They
hoped for preferrnent and promotion by aid
ing the return of O Republican President
Some of these men were in office when Mr..
Cleveland returned to Washington. A few
of them have been dismissed and others
will be. There 10 TO be- general reform OF
this KIND in the service. 1t is based on
sound business principles. The President
and the memb ers of his Cabinet are de-
termined To have subordinates on whom
they can rely IN confidential positions.
MIR. Cleveland has not yet considered
any changes IN the civilservIce rules. That
may come later but no such intention as
has been attributed to Mr. Cleveland, of
putting all minor appointments under a
commission and establlshing a permanent
tenure. Is entertained by him."

The Preservation of the Forests.


While the protection Of game has occu-
time the preservation of our forests has
had parstively but recent attention.
The past i've years especially have seen
more done In this direction than probably

their influence to bear In the good work,
with the most satisfactory results. By
their efforts alone no less than fifteen tim
Der reserves were established, which in
cluded 1.239. 600 acres adjoining the Yellow
stone park; 1000. 600 in central California;
1857 600 in southern California; 1000 600 in

Colorado river. the site Of the most rugged
and magnificent scenery probably in the
world; 81, 600 In New Mexico. and, 142 900 in
Oregon-altogether upwards of $4,000, 900
acres.
such an example by the government has
had Its effect on the states. and the general
agitation of the subject has done much for
the cause. not only in preservation of tim
Der land, but In the protection OF game.
OF ell the States that have taken up the

done so much as Governor Flower. Too
much praise cannot he given Mir. Flower
