General Metbuen, it is now reported,
is crazy, and another commander will
succeed him. The unfortunate gen.
erals malady seems to have affected
the greater part of the officers of the
British government. If a sane man
had been in Hon. Joseph Chamberlain
office of secretary of state for the colo
MES, and his associates in the cabinet,
from Salisbury down, had been sane,
neither the slaughter from Belmont to
Magaersfontein, or from Dundee to the
Tugela, or elsewhere on the veldt, or
among the kapjes, or amid the neks OF
South Africa, would have occurred
Peace would reign, England's honor
would have been saved, and in the full
ness of time, by the gravitation OF
peaceful circumstances, her desires
would have been fulfilled.

Civil Service Report.

The last report OF the Federal civil
service commission marks gratifying
progress, and contains several recon-
mendations Of which one should be
negatived promptly and the others
commended to favorable action by con-
gress. 1t shows that "a per cent. OF
the positions in the classified service
can be filled by persons having only a
good common school education. Dur
ing the past year 10,4ls persons were
appointed, promoted, reinstated or
transferred on its certificates. Only
919 per cent. of those appointed
through it's examinations have been re-
moved during the last sixteen years
These brief facts dispose of most Of the
charges that have been made against
the administration OF the law.
BY all odds the first in importance Of
it's recommendations is that for apply
ing the merit system to the civil SER
vice in our new possessions. 1t is no
less than vital that these should be
differed by picked men and that ap-
pointments for political or personal rea-
sons should be excluded. Our success
and our honor as well as the interests
of Puerto Rico and the Philippines
make this imperative. 1t is clear also
that promotions as well as appoint
ments should be guarded against out
side influence or official favoritlsm.
These points should be guarded by
amendments to the law.
On the contrary. the tentative sug-
gestion Of a retirement fund for super
animated employees, whether taken
from the treasury or held out Of their
salaries. should be opposed vigorously
by every man who is not an advocate
of state socialism. 1t has absolutely
nothing but sentimentalism to recon-
mend it. II a man who has been long
In the public employ finds himself in
old age within reach of want, 1t must
be for one of two reasons He has re-
ceived salary too small to permit
any saving, or he has been improve

the proper remedy.
II Federal salaries are on the starva-
ton basis, raise them. As a matter OF
fact we know that this Is not true.
These positions are sought eagerly. And

private industries receive lower salar-
les and never become a public or pri-

ixe that he IL politically deceased.
For Mr.. Bryan to remain in politics
for many years means season after sea-
son Of futile haranguing IT fore
shadows the same dismal predictions Of
woe, disaster. SUFFERING and oppression
that people in different parts of the land
have had 10 listen to whenever the boy

nothing OF cheer. or hope or inspiring
promise. His political career Is not to
be that Of an Office holder who for his
salary gives some measure Of public
service. but rather that Of a peregrinat-
ing preacher Of misfortune.
This Ii the real Significance OF the an
nouncement that Mr.. Bryan is to re-
main in politics for many years. 1t is
unfortunate that some stray impulse for
good has not prompted him to say that
he would retire from the public gaze
when he is soundly whipped next fall.
II would have been a cause for Pro-
found thankfulness throughout the
nation had he signified his intention OF

Of the Oregonian during the last year

a private grievance which he attempts
to satisfy through It's columns In a
fashion equally unworthy Of straight
forwardness in politics and decency in
journalism.

A Fearful Prospect.

Mr.. Bryan may have filled few Jer-
sey City people with delight on We'd
nesday evening, but in his speech on
that occasion there was one remark
that will cast gloom over many
community in both East and West. He
announced that he did not want his
hearers to think he was expecting to
be the candidate OF the Democratic
party In the next campaign nor that
he was striving for anything in the
way Of office. because, he said, he was
in politics for many years to come.
This is very serious prospect for
the American people to face. For
them to have to submit to four years
of posing and parading by Mr.. Bryan
Is in itself very heavy cross to bear,
but it is as nothing compared with the
awful possibility of having him in poll
tics for many years to come. There
are not few persons who will almost
give up in despair when they picture
what those many years will have in
store for public now surfeited with
the Bryan claptrap that has been
poured forth since the Chicago conven-
ton.
Having been once a presidential can
didate, Mr.. Bryan's constitution, char
acter and craving are such that he will
feel that he owes 1t to himself to be
candidate always. The bee Is with him
to stay. and however often he may be
rejected by the people he will not give
UP the fight so long as there is any,
thing like a party or a fraction OF a
party willing to put him forward.
This means that Mr.. Bryan is to
be served UP every four years,
gradually losing followers, of course.
till at last he becomes peren-
NAL misflt who is willing to stand as
the champion of any political remnant
that will have him.
OF course Mr.. Bryan's candidacy this
year will amount to nothing. In No
vember, 1896, he became politically
dead. dead. dead" He will be the
next nominee, because there Is no
Democracy worthy Of the name. There
can be no serious opposition to him so
long as the Democratic party is In its
present state of political inebriety. But
no one, probably not even he himself,
expects that he will be elected. He has
not gained vote in four years.
Knocked down as a money reformer in
times of depression, he will be knocked
down and stamped upon in times of
prosperity. A second defeat Will finish
his career as Democrat, but that by
no means eliminates him wholly as a
political factor. If not running as
Democrat, he will be running as some
thing else.
This appalling probability is what viii
give the American people apprehension
and unrest. 1t Is no pleasant task
lightly to accept the certainty that
year after year we are to have Bryan
stamping up and down the country
preaching discomfort as he has been for
three years and half wherever and
whenever he could get an audience.
This prospect is what will try mems
souls, and there is reason for pronounce
ing the outlook gruesome. or the many
tribulations encountered In this world.
one Of the worst is to be compelled to
listen to the pessimistic utterauces OF

ity with which England holds Bermuda
