Noting the recent criticisms of civil
service reform in some of the neigh
boring papers, | desire to present some
views on the subject from one who
does not belong to the office holding
class, has never held public office and
nev'r expects to, but who pays his
taxes and holds himself in readiness to
do his duty as a citizen in such man
ner as may be required.
The ''objective' of these criticisms
appears to be the refusal on the part
Of sub-treasurer Sloan to dismiss GER
tain clerks in his office who have been
IN the service some time and against
whom no remlssness fduty is charged.
The object of the removal being to
allow others to have the places.
Laying aside all question as to Mr..
Sloan's motives in this matter, what
is his duty?
He Is employed by the people to
manage a branch of their business,
and it is certainly his duty to manage
1t In their interest.
If it can be shown that it is to the
interest of his employers to dismiss a
lot of trained and experienced clerks
and hire Il lot of Inexperienced ones in
their places, it is his duty to do so.
But no business man would for an
instant think of dong this in his own
business, nor can it be shown that the
peoples interest would be advanced
by such action in this case.
There IS st III anothar yiau, of +ba
case. The office contains a number of
men who have spent many years in
the service of the people. Among all
employers faithful service is consider
ed to entltle man to continuance in
place. This is not only common justice
but 1t Is good policy for an employer
Any man will render more faithful
service when he feels that this will Sc
cure the permanence of his employ
ment. The interest of the people as
employers will be advanced by such a
policy IN the same manner as that of a
private employer.
In this connection it would appear
that we have an Anti Merit organiza-
ton. By this, | suppose, we are to
UNDERESTIMATE organization for the
purpose of having people put out of
office. Or, as would have been express
ed during the suspension of 1891, of
taking the bread out of the poor
mems mouths"
During this same period of 1894 it
was largely voted Il crime to take the
place of a man who had voluntarily
left his work because he was dissatis-
fled with its conditions. Now we
have an organization to secure the DIS
missa of meu we'll satisfied with their
work in order that others may have
their places.

The above is very beautiful Ian

The news from Gov. Tanner yester-

The Homecoming Reoiew said:
Had Gov. Tanner not shown the manhood
and courage to be just to the miners as well
as the operators, the end of the story would
have read different. AS it is, the operators
have acknowledged their wrong position by
acceding to the demands of their EMPLOYEES,

criticized Gov. Tanners action find them
selves in their usual condemnable position.

The grand jury of Macoupn county, at

A COMPARISON.

Robert Shriver, leading financler,
thinks Cumberland, with an assess
ment of = millions, cannot stand the
expense of half million for a good
water supply, or nearly per cent. of
the city's nominal worth.
Concluding, he says:
Summing up the situation it must be adj
mitted that Cumberland is in serious shape
IN the matter of water supply if the pollution
Of the present source is not stopped
On the other hand, if the pulp-mill
is to be stopped and driven out of the
county, the losses to the people of
Luke and Westernport will range all
the way from to 100 per cent
Not debt incurred for an equivalent,
but loss, LOSS LOSS
And then Cumberland will not have
water that is fit to drink
