has been carried on as a business and In
an bipartisan spirit. says II. 3. f. Mac
farland In Everybody's Magazine. Although.
since 1t Is not part of the National Govern
ment. the District government is not com
pretended by the civil service act. appoint
ments to it's offices and the employment OF
workmen and laborers have been governed
by civil service principles. A merit system
of appointments and promotions, under
which both political parties have been
equally represented has been maintained.
All departments Of the District government
have been protected from political assess
ments and from political demands of all
kinds. No policeman. fireman or school
teacher has to pay court or tribute, and this
is true of all the servants of the District,
thousands in number. Removals are only
for cause. and cause demonstrated. The
Commissioners are the only officers Of the
Government who do not remain during good
behavior. All this Is in response to the pub
lie opinion OF the District. and In spite OF
powerful pressure upon the Commissioners
at times on the part of political leaders.

Governor Voorhees, may be consoling
himself with the idea that he is playing
the statesman by dragging out the asylum
investigation to the point of tiresomeness,
while he is giving the managers and officers
opportunity to cover their tracks, and SC
retain control of the establishment.
But Governor Voorhees, never did himself
and his party worse turn than when he
assumed the responsibility for a continu-
ance of the misrule at the asylum, because
of the partisan difficulty of getting rid o.
the gang that has betrayed every trust and
violated every rule for the safe government
of benevolent institution.
As a politician, Governor Voorhees, needs
to have some better report to make to the
Republican State Convention than that the
eminently respectable officers of the Tren-
ton asylum have been continued in charge
of that institution, because any confession
OF their patent Encouragement would
rebound to the discredit of the party which
appointed them.
If Governor Voorhees, desires to help
Candidate Murphy, he will not tie the mill
stone of the Trenton asylum around the
latter's neck True American
