Senate Considers the Case of:the Would.bc
Recorder Of Deeds.
The Senate discussed the nomination OF @.
H. J. Taylor, the Kansas colored man, to be
recorder Of deeds for the District of Column
bia, for ar hour while in executive session
yesterday, and adjourned without taking any
action. Senator Proctor made the principal
Of several speeches in opposition to con-
frmation, and Senator Martin the only speech
made in support Of confirmation.
He contended that as this appointment had
gone for many terms to negroes and nom
residents, the arguments against Taylor on
these grounds were without foundation. The
opposition made to confirmation in executive
session was based entirely upon nom
residence, and the argument was for home
rule In the District. During the discussion a
circular was shown on the floor, dated Octo-
Der 13 last. signed by Taylor as the president
Of the Negro National Democratic League,
which created some merriment.
In this he speaks of President Cleveland as
"the giant reformer of the age" and praises
Secretary Carlisle and Senator Voorhees, in
extrayagani language for the part they took
in the repeal of the Sherman law, and tells
how Mr.. Carlisle ''obviated the ruinous issue

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.


District of Columbia Civil Service Reform
ASSOCIATION was last night inaugurated, ,as will
appear by reference to the news columns Of
THE TINES. That this reform in its present
shape is perfect, THE TIMES is not disposed to
believe. That it is necessary must be mani
fest to all observers, and especially to those
who desire the ground cleared for more i'm
portant governmental changes.
When we advocate public ownership OF the
telegraph system we are told with 'damnable
iteration" of the army of Office holders we
would create. and the great consequent in
centive to partisan fury. We are assured that
the republic would be endangered by such
change, and silently asked to forget that the
telegraph is .'in politics. at the present time
and in harmful way.
When we ask that the arteries of trade be
made part of the body polite, we are as
sured that railway employees mus: not be ser
wants of the government; that to create them
such would be demoralizing; that purity will
be preserved by having such men employed
byprivate individuals, although such employ
ers now dicker with our representatives to
their mutual advantage and emolument.
These objections. the force of which was
never great, are diminishing in importance
by the extension of civil service reform.
When the methods of this reform shall be per-
fected. as they will be, the government will
employ and discharge all in its service be-
cause of their merits and demerits and its ne
cessities. and not at the behest of political
bosses.
The perfection of civil service reform will
thus answer the most frequent objection
raised against government ownership Of rail-
roads and telegraphs. 1t will do more. 1t
will make straight and easier the way to
other reforms.
Those who are now employed by the gov
ernment on partisan basis cannot afford to
lie friendly to new political ideas. whatever
their merits. Before partisan employees will
welcome new thoughts they must feel that
such conduct on their part will not endanger
Tread and butter. So with the Office seeker.
Let him not now express an idea, If he would
succeed. which may be contrary to the tenden-
cies of his village, city or state "boss;" other
wise he may die before his famished eyes
shall behold his Carcasonne.
In the ways indicated, as well as in many
others which we may hereafter find occasion
to point out. the "spois" system throws its
deadening weight in the way of progress and
stiles thought

We HOPE that Senator Perkins made only
mistake when be introduced his bill for the
proper protection OF salmon in the Alaska
rivers, or we hope he was deceived by some
one in whom he had confidence. 1t was more
than an accident that his bill should have
provided that the salmon In certain rivers
should be protected, when everybody ac-
quainted with Alaska knows that these rivers
are above tidewater and are only used by the
salmon for spawning, and it was by more than
an accident that the rivers in which the salmon
run were not specified in the bill. Be more
careful in future, Senator.

WHEN Mr.. HuoH O'DoNNELL was lead er Of
