A PROGRESSIVE REFORM.

Omaha Bee: Civil service reform
is certain to make progress under the
present administration. Indeed. it is
safe to predict that it will attain full
development. It has already advanc.
ed and we may be sure that President
Roosevelt will lose no opportunity to
apply the reform wherever it may
be proper or practicable to do so. He
is as strongly and earnestly devoted
to this principle now as at any time in
the past, as his reference to it in his
message a%bundantly a~ttests.
In the judgment of the president
the merit system of making appoint
ments is in it's essence as democratic
and American as the common school
system itself. 1t simply means" says
the message, that in clerical and
other positions where the duties are
entirely non-political all applicants
should have a fair field and no favor.
each standing on his merits as he is
able to show them by practical test"
The president said that wherever the
conditions have permitted the appll-
cation of the merit system in it's full
est and widest sense the gain to the
government has been immense, a
statement most amply justified by ex-
perience. The president recommend
ed the passage of a law which will ex-
tend the classified service to the Dis
trict of Columbia, or will at least en-
able the president thus to extend il.
He urged that all laws providing for
the temporary employment of clerks
should hereafter contain a provision
that they be selected under the civil
service law. The following must re-
ceive the acquiescence of all good cit
liens: "The merit system is simply
n method of securing honest and
efficient administration of the govern
ment, and in the long run the sole
of any type of govern
ment lies in it's proving itself both
honest and efficient"
iSoAooAL I~eooScVell, is DIS SOllclCOuS
to have this system applied in the
possessions as at home, say
ing that not an Office should be filled
in those islands with regard to
the mans partisan affiliations or SER
vices, with any regard to the political,
social or personal influence which he
may have at his command; in short,
heed should be paid to absolutely moth
ing save the mans own character and
capacity and the needs of the SER
vice. He declared that the admin
lstration of the islands should be as
Wholly free from the suspicion of parti
politics as the administration of
The army and navy. This also is a
in which all good citizens will
concur and it can be confidently pre-
1icted that it will be strictly and faith
'ully adhered to by the president.
The t~wenty-first annual convention
If the National Civil Service Reform
eague will be held at Boston this
week and eve has that organization
net under more promising and encour-
lging conditions for the progress of

reason than ever before for
the country upon the
of civil service reform and the !.
that it will be maintained

Quite a number of prominent
citizens were discussing in common
this morning the unslghtly and
unwholesome condition of Walnut
street from tht Bank of of Wayne
corner to the Court House corner
on William street, and they all
agree that the only sensible solu-
ton of the situation is for the
city TO pave this important thor
oughfare, and thus for always OBJ
viate not ooly the unsightiy mud
holes and the menacing pestilens
tial aggregation OF filth that con-
stantly accumulates, bus also the
great expense of temporary re-
pairs that the city expends every
week the year round.
Let's pave this street, both as a
necessity and as an object lesson,
looking to the extension Of the
| good work to all the important
thoroughfares of the city.

GOLDSBORO THE v|CTORS.
HER OWN GROUNDS.

The inhabitants of the town of
Fremont as well as the surround
ing country gathered around the
diamond in that town last Friday
afternoon to see their favorite
ball players defeat the Goldsooro
aggregation, but they were
doomed to disappointment. A
number OF ladies were cut to see
the game, which had been the
main topic Of conversation since
the announcement was made that
G~oldshoro would go to Fremont.
The Fremont team wished to
show their home people that they
could play ball and they also
wished to defeat Wayne Bass and
his supporters because they
knew it would be another feather
in their caps. The game last Fri
day was the second chapter in
the narrative and it reads very
much like the first, when Ere
mont came to Goldsboro last
Tuesday and were defeated by a
score Of z to 8. They we're anx-
ious to redeem their reputation,
and with that end in view they
invited the Goldsboro team to go
to their town on Friday and give
them a trial on their grounds and
with their own people as specta-
tors to give them support. The
game was called at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, and the battle was
waged with varying fortunes for
an hour and a half. It was a con.
test for the Wayne county pen
nant, and no effort was withheld
that would count for anything
Each side pushed their best mer
forward. The scale could have
been turned at most any stage O:
the game, and the visitors tha
are now so loudly rejoicing coult
easily have been the discopsolat,
vanquished. At the beginning
of the seventh inning the seal
was turned when the score stoos
5 to 2 in favor of Fremont. Thel
it was that events transpired tina
