MUNICIPAL PATRONAGE.


The New York Evening Post says that
-four months experience in an office
which has 1900 places to dispose Of has
made Mr.. Brookfeld, the commissioner
civil service reform" Mr.. Brookfeld
now proposes to solve the patronage
problem by turning most of the offices
over to the civil service commission.
Possibly the civil service commission
might not individually be more compe-
tent to deal with the patronage problem
than the average chief of a department,
but the civil service commissioners have
little 10 do with results. They set the
machinery in accord with law, and the
applicants do the rest. The principal
business of the commission Is to see
that the machine Is set right and that
the work OF applicants Is marked accu-
rately. II has been urged against the
civil service method of appointment that
the best man for the place does not al-
ways stand highest on the commissions
list Of applicants. This is doubtless true.
But how often does the best man get
the place when the power of appointment
lies with the head of department? Ger
talnly not so often as the best man
would work his way well up TO the head
OF the list of applicants under civil SER
vice rules. In a small community, where
the relative fitness of applicants for
places Is known, and where public opin-
ion bears directly upon the appointing
power. the present method OF distributing
patronage might work fairly well. But
in large cities It does not work well.
This is matter upon which Pacific
Coast people can speak from ex-
perience. The city of San Francis
co now enjoys revenue of about
se.OOOoOO year. Experts have expressed
the opinion that the work of government
might be done better with A,OOO,O00 than
Il Is now with $6,OOO,OOO. Waste is In
herent in the system. TO a greater or
less degree heads of departments are
paying men with public places for work
done in nominating conventions and in
the succeeding campaign. The remedy
for this condition Of things is to relieve
the heads of departments from the dis
trlbution of patronage. 1t will be bet,
ter for them and better for everyone
when this is accomplished.

There IL complaint from the police
that a certain would-be fast set OF young
men, some OF whom hold responsible bus
iness positions, and have respectable pa
rents and connections In this city while
out on a carouse at an early hour yes
terday morning, were guilty OF a series
OF acts of hoodlumism and lawlessness
which may operate to send them to the
jail or penttentiary 1t is no ordinary act
Of playfulness to enter a locked business
establishment, In the might time, and
to scatter about and otherwise disturb
its contents OF goods and furniture.
Neither can IT be considered harml sss
piece OF fun TO place heavy distractions
In the maan thoroughfare OF the city,
TO the imminent risk of the life and
limbs OF citizens whose business compels
them to travel on foot or In vehicles In
the darkness. It was only through the
timely arrival Of the poliee and the
activity OF their exertions In removing
obstructions placed In Commercial street
close to the chemical engine house. that
an accident was averied to the horses
and members Of that company while OF
their way TO the Clatsop MN fire, These
cultured gentlemen want to understand
that their names are IN the possession ol
the police. and the question Of theIi
prosecution for the offenses Of Thursday
morning Is under serious consideration
When people of pretended social stand
ing descend to acts OF rowdyism anc
crime no destination should be made be
tween them and any other set OF law
breakers. but their condemnation ant
punishment ought rather to be made th'
greater. The police would do well tt
make an example OF one or two OF these
high-toned offenders, thereby improving
the reputation OF the city abroad. and
rendering their duties among the lower
classes less arduous and unpleasant
