AS The Times has frequently argued,
these conditions demand investigation,
and the exposures now berg made in Phil

No other city of the country permits the
social evil to flourish undlsturbcd in a
locality which is unay oidably under the
eye of every one passing along its greatest

that this plague spot should have not only
not been abolished, but HAT il apparently
has had the protection of the very authori-
ties who are sworn TO Interfere with and
uproot it.

and other cities investigate and bring To

GREAT PROGRESS MADE.


The presence and speeches during the last
day or two of great captains of civil serv-
ice reform, recall as nothing else coud, the
immense strides that have been made with
in less time than score of years in the
way OF abolishing the spoils system.
One hears no longer an alarming note
against the danger of building up burcauc-
racy, and the universal and constant argu-
ment is in favor of an extension of the sys-
tenn to yet other branches OF government
service which are made the sport OF the
politician whose success depends largely
upon his privilege of being able to peddle
out appointments in his district or State.
While, therefore, unreasonable good
has been accomplished in pla cling the civil
service upon a sensible arl permanent basis,
there is yet vast work to be accomplished.
Agitation should not stop until postmaster
ships, consulships, internal revenue and
pension agencies, and so on, are taken out
of the hands OF the spoilsnicn either by
placing them under the shield of the civil
service or by making them elective
SO rapid has been progress in this dircc-
ton it is safe TO predict that no very long
time viii clapse before the reform leaders

bravely began and persistcntly pushed.

over by some method, that danger from
their presence may be lessened to the
