SECRETARY CAGES COURSE.
He VIII Adhere strictly to Civil
Service Reform.

He VIII Adhere Strictly TO civil
Service Reform.
Soon after the Hon. Lyman j. Gage
was notified by Mr.. Mckinley of his Sc
lection as Secretary OF the Treasury he
gave out statement that he intended TO
run his office Just as he did his hank-on
business and civil service principles This
was good news TO the thousands OF clerks
in the Treasury Department hut fell like
a wet blanket on the practical politicians,
the fellows who are out for the spuiIs
The politicians. however, did not take
Mr.. Gage exactly at his word. They be-
lieved that when he talked of enforcing
civil service he meant it TO apply only
TO the small clerkships, the messengers and
watchmen- They did not dream that he
would only make removals for cause.
II Mr.. Cages intimate friends are to be
believed, the new Secretary contemplates
an innovation that has never before been
tried in any department OF the govern
menJ-an innova ton, indeed, that smacks
of genuine, unadulte rated, honest civil
service. This is what one of these friends
said 70 a Times reporter:
1T s Mr. Cages intention to conduct
the Treasury Department on the soundest
kind of business principles. He Will not
only not make change in the personnel
of the department except for cause,
but he Will go even further.
1T is his purpose, in the case Of the three
Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury,
which are Presidential appointments, Co
ask Mr. Mckinley TO select them from the
corps of able and trained men already in
the department. All things being equal.
OF course, Mr.. Gage will recommend Re
publicans to be his assistants, butff there
are Democrats who are more competent
than their Republican colleagues to handle
the complex business of the respective Of
fices named. they will be given the prefer
ence so far as Mr.. Cages influence goes
or course, if MIR. Cages scheme is vetoed
by President Mckinley, politicians will be
the assistants to the Secretary, and not
the practical men who have grown up in
the service

The Real Reason.

In debate in the Senate during the
last session of Congress Mr. Lodge de-
clared that certain business interests We're
the real obstacle in the way of American
recognition of Cuban independence
We have already referred to this fact
1t is well known that many historians
and students believe that it was the
timidity and greed OF certain Northern
business interests which prevented an early
and an amicable settlement Of the great
civil war question, and SO made the war
terrible beyond comparison when it did
come; ana for more recent illustration,
IT was these same conservative interests
OF the community, so-calIed, which united
to prevent, if necessary, d free express
sion of the will of the American people
in the last election and by that act ia
weigh US down with continuing conditions
Of distress, from which it is even now
doubtful if we can escape by the only
avenue which they have thrown open
Senator Lodge did not state in so many
words that he referred 10 the domination
OF the British moneyed interests in the
Cuban business, but that is the inference
that we take the liberty to draw 1t
has required millions and other millions
when those have been wasted to try to
suhdue the Cuban patriots. Nothing las
been accomplished except the physical
ruin OF fair island, but the money flows
in and ii is used for the same barbaric
purposes. Spain cannot raise this money
without giving some compcIsating Sc
curiuy. Can she get the money and give
the security anywhere else than in Lon
don. and is it not notorious that the British
financial policy controls and benefits those
American financial giants whom il thinks
it best to be polite to, while dominating
and crushing those American interests
which are inconsiderable enough to de-
serve no attention?
We hope this is what Senator Lodge
meant, because we believe it TO he true
As we have said before, not only is it
true that money talks in business. but it
is the only thing that talks. 1t talks in
diplomacy, also.
