UNPARTIsAN PUBLIC SERVICES.


Although politicians of both the
great parties agree that the party in
power should place in those offices
where harmony with the administra-
ton is essential to success, such men
as are of the same political faith as the
administration. Yet in other places
there is no particular necessity to turn
out good and faithful public servants
solely on party grounds. The public
business should be conducted on those
settled principles which govern in pri-
vate business and partisanship
should not extend to the substitution
of an incompetent Democrat for a
competent Republican and vice versa,
when no public interest is subserved
by the change.
ITO the victors belong the spoils, -
must be taken as a rule with some
limitations, and the first principle in
the public service is the conduct of
business on business principles, no
matter who is engaged in it. OF course
in every position where the party in
terests would be injured by the in
cumbency of person opposed politi-
eally to the head of department, a
change would be conceded by every
reasonable person to be good policy.
But there are many places in the ma
ton and the state, and in other gov
ernmental departments, where parti-
sanship should have no influence above
the proper and efficient conduct of pub.
lie affairs.
Washington Hesing, the new post
master of Chicago, has never been
known as civil-service reformer, but
he finds that the only way of success
fully running such an establishment as
great postoff1ce is on business princi.
pies. He recently made little speech
to the employees, which is model OF
its sort. Here is the most important
part of it:
Il desire that you look upon it as you
would the service of some large bust
ness house and to recollect that poll
tics cut no figure whatever in this of
/ flee. l don't care what a mans creed
color. or race may be. These are al
one to me providing that the employed
does his duty. If any one of you fai
in doing your duty. prompt retributior
will follow. No influence, no delega
ton, no political pull will save you
On the other hand, if you do your duty
and serve the government faithful!
and honestly, you will be retained il
office and no power on earth can re
move YOU"
If there was more of such manage
ment in this country there would b,
much more satisfaction among the cit
liens, and also great saving in publ,
expenses. Honesty, efficiency, sobri
ETY. and fidelity are of far more valu,
than political belief in such offices a
those where no party principle is il
question

able to compete with the world. So with
bounties for the same purpose But in
their maturity. their appetite having
grown with their years, they have in
creased their drain on the public treas
ury and the duties have been doubled
and trebled and quadrupled in the
behalf of the gray-headed and bearded
infants"
The wolf-scalp bounty was granted
for the purpose, not of obtaining scalps
so much as to extirpate the wolves. The
sealps were of no public use, but the
destruction of the wolves would be a
public benefit. In this case, too, the
bounty system has resulted in bigger
demands on the state treasury. while
the creatures to be destroyed have ap-
peared to increase with the outlay. The
bounty system does not seem to work
right any way it can be fixed.

Fibre and Fabric is a protectionist
paper, but it occasionally makes ad-
missions which do not harmonic with
its theory. The latest issue says: "a
tariff law that would in truth protect
all parties alike. both wool grower and
manufacturer. should not be SO framed
as to stimulate or depress either indus
try by too large or too small profits,
for stimulation is but intoxic2tion.
which cannot be continued indefinitely,
but would in time exhaust our indus
tries, causing a reaction from which
we would have to recuperate in sus-
pension and rest. Either extreme

must recover. Our Senators do not

VIEW couRr COMMISSIONERS.

The bill introduced on Wednesday in
the House of Representative by Mr.
wolverton, of Pennsylvania. for a
change in the law as to United States
Commissioners. appears to be a great
improvement. There is no need at pres
ent for the Commissioners in this ter
ritory. who are simply duplicates of
the Justices of the Peace. All that
they do could be done by the Justices
elected by the people.
Under the provisions of the bill just
introduced. United States Commission
ers would be appointed by the Presi-
dent to serve for four years, and IA
have such jurisdiction as would relieve
the district courts of great deal of
inferior business and give them more
time to devote to cases of greater i'm
portance.
The different states and territories
would be divided into districts with a
United States Commissioner for each.
and it is to be presumed that they
would supersede the officers created
under the Poland law and provided for
in the Edmunds-Tucker act.
The bill may not become law, but
the probabilities are in it's favor, and
the chief change so far as Utah is con-
cerned would be that the President OF
the United States. instead of the SUI
preme Court. of the territory, would
appoint the Commissioners and their
jurisdiction would be enlarged, and in
all probability their number would be
considerably decreased. 1t is not like
| " that the bill will be rushed. so the
present Commissioners may rest theil
souls in peace for a season.
