Col. Merrill the Eayorite.

The announcement of the candidacy of
Olin N. Merrill of Enosburg Falls, for
collector of the port of Burlington has
been received with marked favor all over
the state both by the press and the people
Prominent citizens everywhere recognize
Col Merrill's splendid qualifications for
the office, and the merits of his '.claim" so
far as any man can have claim on an Of
flee as reward for long and conscientious
party service. Below we give a few of
the pleasant lhings the papers of the state
are saying.
Landmark, White River Junction;
We notice that several papers opposed
to the old rounders and their continual
grasping after every good office in sight,
advocate warmly Col. Merrill's appoint
ment But what pleasure could existence
afford to Mr. Mansur if he were not hold
ing some officeP Col Benedict has been
SO well rewarded by the avails of the col
lectorship that he ought to be willing to
step one side anyway. And wouldn't it be
somewhat cruel in Col. Merrill TO deprive
Mr.. Mansur of the Custom House emolu.
ments since the latter might then have to
retire to private life after eighteen or
twenty years. enjoyment of office-holding.
Burlington News:
Leaving out of the question the real
merits of the candidates from a party
standpoint and taking account only of past
rewards, neither Mr.. Benedict nor Mr.
Mansur should be considered. Their
past reward strip them Of all "claims. "
On the other hand Mr.. Merrill has not fat
tened at the public crib--has had no re-
ward Now, to this negative advantage
in favor of Mr.. Merrill, add his positive
qualities as an active party worker tor 16
years, and as the man who organized and
won the great victory last year-a victory
as important for the nation as for the
state-and his candidacy becomes impreg-
nable. No other man In the state who
has been thought OF or mentioned for the
office can present 50 many claims or stand
as of right before him.
Northfeld News
However estInaole the other leading
candidates, Messrs. Benedict and Man. ur
may be in private life, it is useless to deny
the fact that they are not fitted from a
business STANDPOINT Tor the position to
which they aspire.
| In addition to this both gentlemen have
Jared more than sumptuouoly in the way o.
public offices. Both began a canvass fol-

Toll Bridges.

The Claremont Advocate has an emil
nently proper estimate of toll bridges. As
barrier to progress. 1t says:
We suppose that every good citizen Of
every town desires that towns advance
ment and prosperity. This is not to be
game, by erecting high wall Of exclu-
sion, but rather by beating down barriers
and inviting all kinds of custom and as
much Of it as possible. A towns pros
perity is not determined by its assessed
valuation, but by the amount Of business
done in it; not by the capital locked up in
farm acres and bank vaults, but by the
amount that changes hand from day to day
To remove toll bridges is to remove chief
obstacle to increased business. Let it be
done!

WASHINGTON d. c., March o.
The Cabinet meeting to-day result
ed in one decision Of great interest
to the place seekers. After the
it is said officially that nothing
beyond n general talk had taken
place. The talk, however, was
signifisd. The subject OF patron
age and the civil service was taken
up and discussed at length. All OF
the members OF the Cabinet told
how they were pinched by the law
and the extensions of it. Some OF
them had brought friends here,
expecting to put them int conf
Dental positions.
The President even gave his
experience. He said that he had
discovered upon inquiry that be-
yond his secretary and confident
ial clerk he had no appointments
to make in the White House force:
that the entire staff Of clerks was
under the civil service law, and
vacancies could he filled only on
examination and selection from
the eligible list furnished by the
Civil Service Commission.
The members of the Cabinet
followed with like testimony
They had nothing in the way Of
minor positions to fill except pri'
vate secretaryships and confiden'
tial clerk apiece. But, after they
had all given their experiences
they said that the civil service law
was a good thing if it did pinch
They told ohe another that while
they had not been able to appoint

friendt, as they expected, they
fond the law was a protection
against the pressure Of place
seekers. The expressions were
general that the civil service had
better remain as President Clsve-
land had left it.
Secretary Sherman was the only
member Of the Cabinet who init
mated that perhaps the extensions
of the law had been carried little
toe far, but he was not pronounced
or definite in his objection. Sec
rotary Sherman has led Off by
having posted conspicuously in the
halls OF the State Department
notices in large type that only nine
places in that department are
outside of the civil service. These
places are specified. They are
three assistant secretaryships, four
labors, one private secrytaryship
and one confidential clerksh D.
The private secretary has been
appointed. One Of the assistant
secretaries has been continued in
office. The laborers Will not be
disturbed. The confidential clerk
ship and t. Q two assistant secre-
taryships are all that Secretary
Sherman has to offer in his depart
ment.
The President and Cabinet decid-
ed that the civil service orders Of
Mr.. Cleveland shall stand. They
also agreed that ii would be better
not to dribble out the few oppoint-
msnts that are to be made but to
prepare a batch Of assistant secre.
taries, heads Of bureaus and lead
ing Ministers and send it in at one
time. This, it was thought, could
be done within few days. After.
wards the announcement could be
made that the remaining patronage
would wait until the tariff bill
is out of the. Such post offices and
ether Offices as become vacant will
be filed from time to time, regard
less of this general rule.
