lN an article on Cuba under Amer.
lean rule by Walstein Root the New
York Suns resident correspondent
IN Havana, he makes the following
statement regarding the feelings of
the Cubans towards the Americans.
1.-The Cubans are sentimentalists.
and they want their republic because
for three generations they have fought
and suffered for it; whether it be for
veal or woe, they want it. They
fear the American. They fear his
push, his energy, his industry, his
capital. They fear that with our flag
ug forever we will crowd in here, get
possession of the islands resources.
and push the natives to the wall.
They dislike the type-strong, ro-
bust, and brusk-forgetful often of
the little amenities and courtesies of
lie which means so much to them"
lie goes on to state, "If we find
Americans suspicious of the Admin
istration's plans, there should be no
wonder that the Cubans are of the
same mind; and until the Americans
get out, or furnish indisputable evil
dence OF their intention to do SO, this
feeling is bound togrow In strength"

The Change In the Civil-SerV.
ice Rules.

The orders Of President Cleveland
in 1896 were of the most sweeping
kind, and they brought into the elias
sified service and under the compe-
titivc system almost every federal
office to which that system could pos
sibly be made to apply. Some in
cOnveniences. doubtless. resulted.
For example, it does not seem un-
reasonable to allow high officials a
full discretion in selecting their own
private secretaries, when one con-
siders the vastness of the discretion
in other directions that they exercise
in the performance of their ordinary
duties. 1t might as well be acknowl-
edged that the competitive exami-
nation system is, in many respects,
an awkward, tedious, and absurd way
of selecting public employees. But
there are seriOnS reasons why its
adoption was necessary in the United
States. And it will continue to be
necessary until there shall have arisen
a new generation Of politicians com
rletely weaned from the notion that
public Offices are Legitimate rewards
for party or personal services. The
Mckinley administration would
have done better, in our Judgment,
to have put up with all the incon.
veniences and to have enforced
the rules as they stood, without TAX
ing single step in the backward
direction. The country is not dis
posed to believe that the public serv-
ice was really being harmed at any
point by the operation of the merit
system, or that any higher efficiency
in the performance of public work
will now actually result from this
extensive modification. The only
hearty praise that the order has re-
ceived has come from avowed adj
herents of the spoils system. An
order of that kind ought not to be
made unless in consequence of some
clear, strong. and well-considered
iemand for it, backed up by a body |
If disinterested opinion But where
vas the demand in this instance2 |
President McKinley's own board of
,ivil-service commissioners was not
wen consulted, if undenled reports
nay be believed. Those Republican
newspapers whose support of the adj
ninistration has been most sincere
nd valuable have, as a rule, con-
emned the order as contrary to the
residents own record and pledges
nd to the position of the party on
he civilservice observation-disclosures
