A MAN has just been removed from a
federal Office for the good and sufficient
reason that he kept public gambling
house. And yet he was appointed un-
der the civil service law, which, no mat
ter how strict its examinations in as
tronomy, geography, and algebra may
be, makes no inquiry into the moral
qualifications of applicants for federal
positions. The democrats when in pow
er didn't have either the sense or cour.
age to repeal the humbug. If the re-
publicans be wise, they will do so as
soon as they have the requisite power.
