IT'S A SERIOUS MATTER.

of Strength.

~ way EmDrOtt Two Countries In n Test
of Strength.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-There is q
great deal more in the news from Fari-
bault OF the grant of concession by
Venezuela at the mouth of the Orinoco
than is indicated in the dispatch. This
concession may become more or less
famous in the history of the diplomacy
of the United States and Great Britain.
The concession is well calculated to
bring to all acute stage the most
troublesome diplomatic question before
the state department.. The concession
is in the heart of the territory long in
dispute between Venezuela and Great
Britain, and Ambassador Bayard for
some time has vainly striven to per-
suade Great Britain to submit the,
whole dispute to arbitration. There,
have been intimations that the adj,
ministaation, in the event of a
physical conflict over the disputed
lands, might deem it necessary, in the.
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, to.
follow up the moral aid it has rendered
Venezuela with more substantial and
potent assistance. The fact that eiti-.
zens of the United States now, by this
concession, are thrust. So to speak. be.
tween Great Britain and the United
States, considerably increases the meas
ure Of this governments responsibility.

THEODORE'S HOBBY.
Commissioner Roosevelt Wants to See Civil
Service Greatly Extended.

Commissioner Roosevelt Wants to See Civil
Service Greatly Extended.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt is thoroughly
committed to the doctrine of including
many more offices under the civil serv-
ice laws: Speaking on this subject, he
said:
We have got to have civil service re-
form, not only in the nation, but in the
state and municipality, and we have
got to have it, not only as it now APP
plies in the nation, but to very many
other officers that are not properly po-
itical in character. Our people have for
70 years been educated to regard the
spoils system as part of the natural order
of things, so that they are wholly inca
pable of understanding as yet that a
posi- master, for instance, has nothing
whatever to do with politics if he at
tends to his duty, and that there is no
more need OF filing the fourth-class
postoffices with people who sympathize
with the views of the administration
for the time being, on the questions of
tariff and currency, than there would
be in having the express or telegraph
business of the United States admins
tered by protectionists or free traders,
accordingly as one party or the other
triumphs at the elections.
Not So in England.
In England postmasters are appointed
by promotion from within the ranks,
except in the lowest grade, where they
are appointed directly from the outside.
They are never removed for political
reasons. In our country, it would per-
haps be difficult to allow a system OF
transfer from office to Office, through
out the nation at large, but such trans
fer could be certainly. made within the
borders of a state and the postmasters
in the big cities, at the largest Offices
should be appointed, whenever va
cancy occurs, from within the ranks of
the postal service of that state.
Nominal Head Figure Head.
A curious result of the present sys-
tenn is that the nominal head Of an
Office is of no consequence whatever IN
the administration Of the Office. In a
great many offices throughout the coun-
try the work is done by the assistant
postmaster who is permanently re-
tanned. He could do his work quite as
well if there were not postmaster.
The decent people of this country are
greatly interested in political questions,
and they are also greatly interested in
such n-political questions as honesty
and efficiency of the public servants,
but they are not interested in seeing a
lot of little politicians get Office.

The newly chosen Democratic
Committee met for organization We'd
nesday afternoon. About fifteen
members were present. The meeting
was called to order by Chairman Geo.
E. Gary, of the old committee. After
some discussion it was decided to pro-
ceed at once to organization without
waiting for the attendance of the alb
sent members at subsequent meet
ing. Judge T. j. Morrow was elect
ed chairman by acclamation and Mr..
w. r. Howell was chosen secretary
with the same unanimity. There
were not many changes in the per-
sonnel of the committee. The new.
members are T. j. Morrow, w. r.
Howell, Geo. Bradley, w. II. Faxon,
G.. W. Fox and w. l.. Kelly. Several
changes will be recommended in the
hold-ove members where elections
were not held, at the request of sit
ting members who want to retire.
Among those agreed upon were Ern-
est Steger, Longview; j. B. Walker,
Brent's; Thos. Dunning, cambridge;
Nj. A. Mason, Beverly, and Ben Car
roll, at Perry's. The members pres
ent were not discouraged by the late
defeats, but several ringing speeches
were made expressing confidence
that with good management and a
close organization the party would be
stronger hereafter from having been
chastened and purified.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-Republicans
carried New York state by $4,000
plurality, New Jersey by over rs 1000,
Maryland by 10000 and captured
Kentucky. Besides swinging the
states over into the Republican col
umn, they increased their usual ma
jority ia Massachusetts, Ohio, Iowa
and all other states where elections
were held. 1t was Democratic
Waterloo. Tammany elected her
local ticket by about 20,O0D, and New
York City went Democratic for sec
retary of state by 4l,0O0, but the Re-
publicans came down to the bridge
with over 100000 votes to spare. In
the Tenth congressional district Amos
j. Cummings, Democrat, was elected,
but his success was plainly due to his
personal popularity. 4
OF the so senators in the state,
Democrats elected only IA and of the
150 assemblymen only 81.
The senate elected will have part
in the selection of a successor to
David B. Hill and it is plain he will
not be a Democrat. Republican
gains were general all over the state.
In this city and Brooklyn Republi-
can senator's and assemblymen were
elected where Democrats have been
returned year after year. In Brook
llyn Democratic mayor was
beaten by narrow plurality.
