ABAD SYSTEM,

The suicide of one patient and the
escape of two others at the state insane
asylum gives additional emphasis to the
necessity of the application of civil
service rules in the management of all
state charitable institutions and more
particularly those for the cure of the in
sane. How can it be expected that such
things will not occur when the changes
going on in the employees of these insti-
tutions are continuous. Many employees
hardly have time to become familiar
with their duties before they are dis
charged to make place for the favorite
of some politician who has a stronger
pull than some other politician. Then
when there happens to be q change in
the political complexion of the state
everybody has to go and the care
| of these institutions is placed in
entirely new hands. The great cry whic
went up against the Populist administra-
ton was more largely due to the fact that
they were new to the work and not
familiar with it than to their incompe-
tency. The Populists are out now, and
how much better is the management of
these institutions. OF course DR.. Nc
Casey was an exception to all rules, be-
cause he allowed everybody to run over
him. Before such occurrences as that al
the insane asylum this week can be pre-
vented it will be necessary to make ap
pointments in these institutions on tbs
ground of fitness, and the appointeei
should be permitted to retain their posi-
tions during good behavior and until ply.

this system there should be one of pro
motion for the employees of the institution
