PROMOTIONS ON MERIT.
Secretary HOke Smith Places Himself on
Record Against Outside Influences.

Secretary HOke Smith Places Himself on
Record Against Outside Influences.
After repeated conferences with the heads
Of bureaus, Secretary Smith yesterday issued
tine following order, which It is stated will be
rigidly enforced:
First-Each commissioner or director in charge
Of an office or bureau In the Interior Department
shall keep a record of the clerks and other
bureau who from time to time have shown
special qualifications fitting them for promotion
to higher positions or who, Oh the other hand,
have shown themselves incompetent for the
work in which they have been engaged noting
in said record the special traits of versatility,
adaptability, scholastic requirements, and direc-
tive power manifested, or on the other hand,
particulars wherein deficiency has been shown
Second-Each commissioner or director may at
his discretion organize board from his depu-
ties, chief clerks chiefs Of division, or other
clerks in supervisory positions, whose duty IL
shall be to aid the commissioner or director In
the preparation Of such record.
Third-The daily record of efficiency shall be
kept as heretofore, on which shall be noted in
respect TO each clerk his attendance, effective
industry, and department, and from this record,
together with Information gathered by the COM
missioner through sources which he may deem
reliable. the true proficiency Of each clerk shall
be determined
Four-It Is 10 be expressly understood that pro-
motion shall be based purely on merit Outside
influence interferes with the proficiency Of the
SCI vice. If q commissioner or director of a bu-
sorted to outside influence to secure his advance
ment he shall note it to his discredit
Fiye-Each commissioner director shall re-
port quarterly on the last days of March, june
September and December 10 the Secretary of tho
Interior the two classes of clerks herein de-
scribed, together with such recommendations
for promotion, reduction and dismissal as the
good OF the service may require
HOKE SMITH Secretary
The Washington times., 1894-04-24
No DISCRIMINATION NEEDED.

1t is very gratifying to know that one of the
companies OF cavalry from Fort Myer was
not ordered ont to meet the Coxey army. We
could hardly conceive of a more unwise ac-
ton ON the part of the government than this
would have been. The hasty and unwar-
ranted arrest of the advance guard of forty
several days since was sufficient in the way
OF blunders. We are not prepared to believe
that there are in this city many, who, if they
could. would be mischief makers" 1t is cer-
tain none of the friends of Coxey, or of the
movement of the masses of which he is at
present the conspicuous exponent, would ad-
wise any breach of law and order: and so far
as we can see his march is in every manner
a singularly well-executed move on his part,
for the avowed purpose, as he proudly states,
ito call the attention of the public to the real
condition, the real necessities, of the masses
Of honest wage-earners in this country" for
we venture TO say that no move has been
made by so inconsiderable number Of men
which has caused such wide newspaper COM
nent since the late lamented John Brown in
vaded the sacred soil OF Virginia. So far
Coxey is a success.
In the meantime. while all the organs OF the
status quo declare the game to be a mosquito.
they still declare that the guns are all ''loaded
for bear Any man who is not ready to de-
clare Coxey and all his followers and sympa-
thizers either fools or knaves is himself rele-
gated to the ranks OF the doubtful and the
dangerous. We do not know whether Mr..
Coxey's dream was for good or ill, but We
do know that there is at present no editorial
Joseph capable of foretelling its true signifl-
canoe and final results. There are many hon.
est men and voters who believe that for every
one of the seven "fat kline" there are seventy
times seven OF the ''lean kline" and who,
while firm believers in the possibilities of a
republican form of government yet feel that
the present trend Of things is toward the con-
tinuous enlargement of this divergencv of
proportions. This disturbance of the waters
is too deep to be stiled by the pouring on of a
little oil of platitude or in building any hastily
constructed breakwater to keep back the
flowing tide.
We said weeks ago, don't laugh at Coxey.
We now say that there is nothing so catching
as new ideas. There is a vast field of the dis
satisfied into which these ideas are falling.
No man can judge of the crop. We do say,
however, that nothing could so stimulate the
rapid roofing of this far-hying thistle down
as any action on the part of either the local or
the general government that could be con-
strued into an act of oppression or an unwar-
ranted discrimination against Mr.. Coxey and
his peaceful band of lobbyists over similar
bands, better clothed. better equipped with
money and influence. Man is only higher
animal, and it is always wise not to crowd
him to the consciousness of that fact We,
like Coxey, hope for better times, and always
Gsr wise laws wisely administered.
