The Washington. d O., Times

The Washington, d c., Times. says ::
We wish TO ask the President a
serious and pertinent question, involy-
ING his dignity and reputation before
the American people.
Does he really intend to annex the
fame. glory, aud individuality of Ad-
miral Dewey for the purposes Of an
electioneering tour through the West
next October;
We have known for some time that
the Admiral had been invited to post
pone his home coming until it should
occur Just before the Ohio election, and
with due reference to that event We
have though even that biz of political
hippodrOming sufficiently disgraceful 4,
but had regarded 1t as measure forced
upon Mr. Mckinley by the inslstence
Of the same corrupt and vulgar herd
who compelled him 10 stultify an hon
orable record and to violate personal
and official promises in shifting the
civil service reform system under the
fifth rib and ordering "A return to the
Infamous spoils system Of politically
degraded past Certainly, with any
surviving respect for Mr.. Mckinley
we could not have believed that he
would initiate the silly and contempt
ible example of Mr.. Alger. who insured
n cordial reception Of himself between
Washington and Detroit by ordering
General Wheeler to accompany him for
exhibition purposes.
Nothing that the head of the nation
has done, personally, since he took the
oath Of office could be- ~ much calcu
lated to forfeit the regard Of the people

their admiration and affection for Ad-
miral Dewey. 10 further his own pol
itical ambitions and boom If he Is
the honest man and gentleman the
country began by believing and would
still wish to consider him, ne VIII
abanoned any such illegitimate adyer-
Using design. If Mr.. Mckinley be
lieyes, rs well as he may, that his sup
port to Aleerisn .Eagansm, Corbinism,
and Samp4on ism, have so far destroyed
public respect for him that 1t is a risk
for him % stand ON his own bottom be-
fore the masses. he should be man
enough to accept the verdict on his
own conscience. and not try to achieve

The Civil Service Order.


The New York World prints the fol-
lowing:
President McKinley's recent civil
service order is not merely step back
ward : it is long leap toward the cor
rupt and chaotic conditions which pre-
vailed before there was any serious
thought of putting a civil service law
in force.
"When the order was issued friends
of the administration announced that 1t
would exempt 4 900 officeholders from
the operation of the law The declara'
tion of this departure from the prece-
dents of years caused great surprise and
much condemnation. 1t appears. how
ever, that not half the tale was told
Experts who have just concluded an
examination of the effect of the order
declare that it will place more than TO-
600 offices at the disposal Of Republican
spollsmen.
THE experts give facts and figures
They declare:
l. That the order will revive the old
system of political retaliation, and de-
stroy the whole merit system.
2. That it will open the gates to
thousands Of incompetent place hunters
In river and harbor work.
8. That it will turn loose from the
Internal Revenue Bureau 900 EN-
ployes who gained their positions
through merit. and put in their places
1900 favorites of the spoilsmen.
4. That it will turn over to the place
hunters the Engineer Corps and the Ma.
tional Armories
8. That it will affect hundreds of
deputy marshals scattered throughout
the country
8. That it will let down the bars
which have protected the Land Office
and the Indian Bureau from the poll
ticians.
2. That it will turn out the higher
class of clerks in the Postoffice Depart.
mept.
s. That by annulling the old rule that
person discharged for any cause could
not be reinstated after the expiration Of
q year. it will open the way for the re-
inststement Of any political heller who
can get his boss to certify that the
charges on which he lost his Office were
untrue.
8. That it will revive the old system
Of discharging employees under one ad.
ministration and restoring them under
another.
10. That it increases indefinitely the
number of persons who will be exempt
from civil service examination.
H. That it encourages a system of
transfers which will make the civil SER
vice sectional rather than national, and
promotion dependent upon political ser
vice rather than merit.
H. That it permits chiefs Of divi-
sions TO advance men to higher grades,
regardless of the Civil Service Commits.

1.-The experts cannot, of course, COM
pute the whole number of offices affect
ed by the order, but they give table

they are to be exhibited under the growers
names.
The division of pomology has also charge Of
the exhibition of canned and dried fruits. and
will send too, large number Of horticultural
and agricultural photographs, which will show
among other things the ornamental systems of
some OF the American railway stations; the sys
tenn Of horticulture adopted by many of the
large manufacturing concerns Of the country
where often the door yards and back yards of
the workmen are beautifed by fourishing gar
dens, the making of which Is encouraged by
prizes given by their employers. and photo
graphs showing the irrigation systems in the
West and the growth Of the orchards and crops
under this method of farming.
The Department IS preparing a large exhibit
ton of American wines for the Exposition
which have been collected from all parts Of the
United States. including. besides those of Cali
fornia, the sweet wines of Florida. the scupper
nong from Georgia. claret from Virginia, and the
champagne of NewYork and Ohio. II is be-
lieved that this exhibit will compare favorably
with the French wines even Of similar grade,
and that in competition with ordinary table
wines the American product will carry away
many awards.
DR. Wiley who has this matter In charge,
SAWS that American wines are not appreciated
in this country as they should be. In London
they are found In all hotels and restaurants,
and they are rapidly replacing the French
wines in the English metropolis while one may
look In vain for the American wines on the
bills OF fare in many Of the first class hotels or
restaurants of New-York and many other OF the
large cities in this country. The prejudice
however against American wines Is altogether
baeelese. for while there are no American wines
az old as are to be found in some OF the cellars
OF Europe nor Of as fine flavor or bouquet. II
IS true that the ordinary table wines or this
country are fully as good as those used for the
the same purpose on the other side. DR.. Wiley
accounts for the slightly higher percentage Of
alcohol in the California wines than in those OF
similar quality In France by the fact that In
California there Is a greater number OF hours
Of sunshine and in consequence the grapes pro-
duced are richer In sugar than those OF the Old
World and IN fermentation create a greater
supply Of alcohol; but the percentage Is SO
small as TO form no valid objection to their use.
The object Of the exhibit is not much to open
a market In Europe. but to convince Americans
that their products are worthy OF their own
patronage.
