He writes not now for the scroll Of fame.
But the cash that's in the till.

CIVIL SERVICE EMBARRAssMENTs

The endorsements of the official life
movals in order to obtain men more in
accord with the views of the administra-
tion. AS the civil law, however, provides
that 40 one within the classified service
should be removed because of his politi-
cal opinions, compliments to retiring off :
GERS are of dubious propriety, inasmuch
rs they might be used before the civil SER
vice commission against those indulging
in them. Therefore, in order that they
may not go on record us violating this
law, heads of departments have been
obliged to inform the official whose
place was desired that the change was to
be made for the public service. This
reason has naturally given an inference
in all such cases that the official whose
place was desired lacked efficiency. Ina
recent instance an official of good reputa.
ton was ready to vacate; but naturally
expected that lie would at least be given
credit for the work he had done. His dis.
appointment can DE imagined. when in
stead of hearing some pleasant felicita-
tions on his retirement he was discreetly
informed that his place was wanted in
order that the Government might have
more efficient emplovc. Thus, the vaga-
ries of the civil service reform humbug
makes towards and hypocrites os those
who would cvade its enforcement

FAIR ELECTIONS

BEFORE any of the political parties in
Virginia hold their conventions or form
ulate their platforms, we desire to make
modest deliverdnce.. on the Importance
of the enactment of a law that will es far
as possible insure free ballot and Il fair
count. If some of the provisions en-
bodied in our present election laws were
not DESIGNED by those who framed
them, to BILE the party in power to so
manipulate them as to continue in con
troll OF the State government. then we
must say that these law makers built
more wisely O. than they knew.
We must have AN election law that
places the ballot as far above suspicion
az human wisdom can remove it. People
must have confidence in the election ma
chinery to believe that the popular will is
thereby expressed or they will break the
machine that fails to accomplish the
work expected.
The baleful effect upon the public con-
science of corrupt politics and politicians
Is showing itself in every department of
social, political and church life. 1t is
Distressing to realize the fact that men
who buy and men who sell votes are
daily growing more unreliable in every
thing else. The man who will lie and
steal in politics will soon learn to lie and
steal in every other business. We be-
lieve that this corruption practiced in pol
tiles by bad men and winked at by others
is now producing ii harvest of fraud, dis
ception and dishonesty that threatens the
socinl, political and religious life Of our
whole people.
What we need just now is confidence in
the ballot box. 1t is more imperaLively
demanded than any other thing. This is
the corner stone on which the entire So
cial and political superstructure must
rest.
The most important part of an election
law to insure honest elections must be
that part which shall render the use Of
money less potent as II factor in control
ling votes Less attention must not be
given to prevent the seller from selling;
but more diligence must he made to APP
7rehend and punish the buyer
We believe the alarming increase in
the number of men who are seeking to
make money by dishonest methods is
the direct result of dishonesty in cleo
tons Seemingly otherwise good men
have no scruples asSto the methods en-
ployeh to secure the election of their
PARTY candidates. They make them
selves believe that all things are fair in
elections. When man ignores the prip
ciples of the Sermon on the Mount and
the moral force of the ten command.
ments in his political life he will soon
grow deaf to the voice of conscience in
every other relation in life.
Christian men must demand reform in
this particular and if this cannot be Sc
cured then they must step down and out
and let the ship wreck. We shall from
time to time discuss this matter from
non partisan standpoint, hewing to the
line let the chips fall where they may

CALIFORNIA AND HAWAII.

The San Francisco chamber of COM
MERGE in its m emorial to Congress favor.
ing the annexation of Hawaii, after men
tioning the racial objections thereto, SAYS
they are of no more weight than the
same objections when applied to Cali.
fornia and other States and Territories.
Above all, however, 1t urges the potent
reason that If we do not take possession
of the Island some other nation will and
thus the United States will perhaps for.
ever lose all chance of dominating The
North Pacific ocean commercials and
politically. 1t is not at all probable that
these weighty reasons will be overlooked:
but on the contrary there is every reason
to believe that public sentiment in this
country favors the annexation of the
Islands and that this scheme will be car
ried out by the American Congress at an
early date. Japan is more than anxious
to take possession OF Hawaii, and if the
necessary alliances can be made to pre-
vent its annexation to the United States
there is no doubt but that they will be
formed without delay. England and
Spain have been mentioned as the posi-
BILE allies of the almond eyed Celestials;
but unless the first named nation is
wholly insincere in all its professions of
Observation-Disclosures SO far AS the action of
this country is concerned, there is no
dancer from that quarter. AS Spain,
however, has grievance against the
United States for it's course toward Cuba,
1t would not be very difficult 20 get her
to JON coalition against this country
provided she believed it to be strong
enough to carry out its designs.

DRUGGISTS SUNDAY HOURS.

We publish elsewhere in The Times an
agreement among the druggists of this
city in regard to Sunday business hours,
which deserves the careful consideration
of the leople. They have .set ..apart GER
tain hours for business, and it is hoped
they will meet with a cordial co-opera-
ton. No set of men, except doctors and
those connected with newspapers. are
more rigidly confined to their duties than
the druggists, and in this movement OF
theirs to receive the benefits of religious
worship it is hoped the plan will me ct

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY

Uncle Sans navy is proving ii very ex-
pcnsive luxury. While the ships with
their officers and men ARE parading the
seas repairs become necessary and lin
creased expenditures arise. Secretary of
the Navy Long recognizes the Importance
of this and has decided to put in use ut
once large part of She Congressional
appropriation for the repair of warships.
Work will he resumed under chief
Constructor Hichborn at the BROOKLYN
and Mare Island navy yards. The secre-
tary has about s., 000, 600 mt his dispc sal
and if his plans are carried out a large
part of this will be spent before the end
of the year. a considerable por ton of it
will be spent on the cruisers Chicago and
Atlanta, at Brooklyn. About $1,000
will also be spent on the Newark. Dur.
ing the next three months about $500, 600
Will be spent on vessels ut the Brooklyn
yard, most of this going upon the dis
mantled vessels. The New York, De-
troit and other vessels which have been
cruising actively for several years will
be overhauled. There will be n large ex-
penditure ut Mare Island. The Bati-
more will get some of the appropriation
1t is plain that the new navy is an expen-

and at last accounts they were on the
