THE KENTUCKY INTERPRETATION.

The new Civil Service rules seem TO be
unfortunate in the friends they have made.
The spoilsmen who incOnsiderdtely eXult in
them as an entering wedge for the overthrow
of the hated merit system place heavy
burden ON those who strive to defend them as
merely the improving and perfecting of the
merit system. and instinct with the spirit OF true
roform Ever since the President promulgated
the new rules in May their purpose and ten
dency have been the subject of dispute. An un-
favoroble impression was created at first by
the tumutuous haste of the spoilsmen to re-
ioice in the order as their victory. The eX-
nressions indulged in at the Ohio State Con
vention filed with anxious doubt many sincere
eunnorters of Civil Service reform who were
striving TO believe that the revision really
meant the Improvement If the service and not
its decentralization. At that time The 1rlDune
declared "The notifications will be judged
"by their fruits, and if their first fruit Is a
season of Joy for spoilsmen, there is too much
reason 10 fear the final verdict Will be that
"the tree was bad" Nevertheless. we eX-
pressed the hope that the spoilsmens 1o. was
premature and foolish. and refrained from
forming any unfavOrable conclusion concern
ing the rules until their actual character could
more accurately be determined.
Secretary Gage, ex-Secretary Bliss and others
familiar with administrative details have since
been defending the new rules as being fully
in harmony with the Republican platform and
the Presidents pledges to take no backward
step in the matter of Civil Service reform.
While many Of the criticisms made by the
National Civil Service Reform League did
not seem TO us to be so adequately and con
vincingly answered as for the sake Of the
party's good name we could have wished, we
have not admired the spirit Of the League s
manlfestoes nor regarded the abuse of Secre-
tary Gage as befttlng the dignity Of reform
ers. When Mr. Gage came forward to express
10 questioners his approval Of the order and
give his assurance as n lifetime champion OF
Civil Service reform that il was calculated to
promote the best interests Of the public ser
vice, the League announced that Mr. Cages
assurance was good for nothing, and suddenly

THE Rapid TRANSIT SITUATION

The new assessment having removed all
doubt Of the city's capacity to incur the neces-
sary debt for the construction Of underground
roads. the Rapid Transit Commission assumes
THAT the Corporation Counsel will without de-
LAY return the form Of contract with his ap-
"proval. or with his suggested amendments, if
'he do not approve the FORM Suavity and
violence seldom 90 together but this assump-
ton seems TO be both suLve and violent. The
Corporation Counsel has had the form Of con
tract prepared by the Rapid Transit Commits
sion in his possession since April l. 1898. but
during these fifteen months he has never. so
far as is known said one word on the subject
10 any member of the Commission. He has
certainly never expressed official opinion to
the Board, nor indicated an informal opinion
10 the public. He has pursued this policy of
ignoring the question. as everybody under
stands in order that the Tammany administra
ton may retain a firm hold upon the rapid
transit project and prevent Commission which
1t cannot control from making any practical
progress. II a modification of that policy is
impending the public knows nothing about IT,
and we do not suppose that the Commission is
better Informed.
There have been, il is true, some indications
of interest in rapid transit within the last
three or four months on the part Of the munic-
ipal government, and, indeed, of a trend Of
official sentiment toward municipal cOnstruc-
tiOn While the Legislature was still In session
Controller Coler suddenly surprised the COM
munity not only by attending one or more
meetings Of the Rapid Transit Commission. of
which he and the Mayor are ex-oficio MEM
bers. but still more by advocating the construc-
tion of underground roads by and for the city,
and. expressing a confident belief that the adop-
tlon of the constitutional amendment separat-
ing city and county debts would enable the
municipality TO undertake the work in the near
future At about the same time the Counsel to
the CORPORATION appeared at Albany 10 oppose
tho nropostlon that his office should he re-
ljeyed of responsibility for the form of con
tract but while at the capital on that errand
no took pains 10 say that he was not antagoniz-
,no tho Commissions general scheme OF opera
+ions Not long afterward the Mayor himself
smoke fayorably Of underground roads, and vol
rnteered n promise that their construction
sbouId be begun before the expiration OF his
term.
In the mean time the Corporation Counsel

Il FEMALE FRA I'D.

Daily States.
When Lillian Clayton Jewett, the
rather smooth Puritan adventures,
brought the Baker family Of negroes
from South Carolina to Boston, she
caused quite a sensation and for a
time reveled in the notoriety which
she gained by the act. The negroes
of Boston who had been "taken in"
by the gentle Lillian and raised
fund for the Bakers, called her the
''Whlte Angel of Freedom" and
some of the newspapers lovingly re-
terred to her as ''The Female John
Brown" The people of Boston,
however, have discovered that she
is neither the one nor the other, but
is simply female fraud who con-
ceived the scheme of making a pile
of money for herself by exhibiting
the Baker family in Boston and
playing upon anti-Southern senti-
ment
Having utilized the unfortunate
negroes until they ceased to be an
aCtTaCClOn ana the OOx, receipts
dwindled to insignificant figures,
the suave Miss Jewett cast them
adrift. The Boston Herald says:
"That is a very homely phrase
which describes people as biting off
more than they can chew, but it is
already demonstrated as applying to
the action taken as regards the
Baker family of South Carolina in
this city. Miss Lillian Clayton
| Jewett has exploited these unfortu-
nate people in the manner she has
| selected until she apparently sees
no further use for them in this kind
of service. She now surrenders
them to the public, and some one
writing over Mrs Bakers signature
makes pathetic appeal of charity
to this stricken family They seem
to he app opriate subjects for it,
and it is to be hoped they will LOT
! be allowed to suffer 1t is not
their faul; that they ar" bs ought
! into destitutiun in strange land
! They were offered aid and comfort
| by Miss Jewett. and in their mex
perience in knowledge of the world
it is not strange that they should
have lent a creduIous ear to er
promise. More reliable persons
may now well put them in the way
Of earning a livelihood without their
being used as a spectacle"

Then. upon the motion of Mr..
Cade the committee decided to
s.receive the petition to he consid-
cred when the committee will meet
to order primaries"
The Gazette is pleased to note
the least add to the genuine charac-
ter Of the Hahn committee. That
question has long ago been settled
beyond doubt, but the action of the
gentlemen who presented the petit
ton may we'll be taken as the last
incident IN the existence of the COM
mittee presided over by Mr.. Coch-
rane.
Unfortunately some misguided
Democrats have been deluded into
the belief that the Cochrane com
mittee had some claims TO regu-
larity, when in fact and in truth it
had none. In the future it is not
probable that any one will look to
it for Democratic authority.
The motions of Messrs. Cade and
Guilbeau were eminently proper.
AS body, representing the Demo
cratic party in the parish, the COM
mit,ee could not with any propriety
consider the petition SO long as it
was addressed to Mr.. Cochrane's
committee and 1t could not enter
tain any proposition for primary
not distinctly and absolutely Demo
cratic in character.

Remarkable as it may seem, the
people of New Orleans worry far
less about the SO called fever than
do their friends in more favored
climes. The streets have their
same air of business, and business
is being done too. Philip Werlein,

has found no falling off in the de-
mand and sale Of pianos. Adverse
conditions can never stop the steady
onward march of this great house.
