A DOOR FOR TEMPORARY CLERKS.

The Executive and Judicial Appropriation BILL
recently reported 10 the Senate, provides for
the salaries Of the temporary clerks in the de
partments. as have the appropriation bills Of re
cent years, owing to the employ of large
numbers of such temporary clerks TO meet the
emergency growing out Of the war with Spain
1t also contains new paragraph which should
not be passed without receiving particular at
tention. 1t reads follows:
Provided, That such temporary clerks who
have been in the service of the Government for
two years, and who have demonstrated their
efficiency, may, in the discretion Of the Secre-
tary of the department in which they
ployed. be appointed TO fill vacancies in the
classified service whenever such vacancies occur
1t is greatly to be feared that the result Of the
enactment of such law would be the opening
of the doors for the transfer of large numbers
of temporary clerks with political backing to
permanent places they may become vacant
TO the exclusion OF those who have in good
faith taken the examinations provided by law
as a stepping stone to those offices, and by
proving their superior fitness secured moral
right 10 fill them in their turn. 1t may be said
that those who served faithfully in an emer-
gency have some claim to consideration. They
took the temporary appointments fully under
standing what the tenure was, and if they wish
10 continue in the service they should take the
examinations as others do. Their emergency
experience would enable them to win in the
competition if they fit for places they
aspired TO at all We do not understand that
anything now prevents the continuance of these
emergency clerks wherever the Government
may need them, and so there is no question of
substituting new for somewhat experienced
hands, but merely one of sending these tenn
porary clerks to new work in other places in the
service in preference to the claimants on the
eligible lists. Moreover, as the bill is framed
not only the temporary clerks of the war period.
but any who may hereafter be appointed NAV
be transferred after two years TO the classified
service. Such opportunity 10 secure office
would not be neglected, and it might seriously
interfere with the merit system.
This is something which the Administration
has certainly not intended to bring about Some
critics Of the Presidents order of Nav 1899
making permanent such temporary appoint
ments in the classified service as were then
pending. charged that the step was intended
10 fix permanently in the service the great force
of emergency clerks called for by the growing
! business Of the Government. Secretary CAGE
denied this. and said: There is nothing in the
order justifying any such statement The
President never contemplated making such n
provision for bringing into the classified ser
vice these temporary employees and such is
mot the legal effect thereof" Certainly an an
preparation bill should not inject into the classi
fed service vast force of temporary clerks.

THE MAYOR4LTY VOTE.

All readers of The Tribune who desire to
record their preference among possible candi-
dates for Mayor should hasten TO send In their
votes If they have hitherto neglected the OPP
Dortllnity TO make their influence felt in the
crystaIizing of public opinion The voting will
end on February 8, and only short time now
remains, during which there will doubtless be
a large addition to the twenty-fOur thousand
ballots already received. We would particu-
Iarly urge all who send in their votes TO express
not merely first but a second choice, for such
votes peculiarly significant in showing he
true drift of public opinion. No one candidate
may receive anything like a majority OF the
votes cast, but some one, in addition to having
n good first choice support, may be the second
choice of the supporters of a large number of
minor candidates Obviously such Il man is a
general favOrite whose nomination would be
well received not only by his own particular
friends but by the particular friends of others.
The object of this test is not TO force forward
any candidate, but simply to feel the public
pulse and there is no more effective way OF
getting at real public opinion than hndlng out
not what personal friendship or interest ma!
dictate as a mans WISH but what his sober
sense tells him will be satisfactory. even if it
is not exactly what he would choose.
Another purpose which we hope to accomplish
with the aid of general second choice voting Is
to give an illustration of the workings of the
Queensland Australia. ballot law, which many
students of scientific voting have believed Of
fered the best method of aScertaining the true
public will This system, it is said, might nave
saved this city from Tammany in 1891 IN spite
of divided forces. Advocates of the plan may
be right or wrong, but certainly sample OF
what it means must be interesting to all stu
dents of politics. Voters are frequently puzzled
in choosing between what they want and the
lesser of two evils. of which they feel Is
bound to come upon them. This second choice
system offers them the chance to synthetlze
the ideal and the practical. They can vote as a
first choice for whom they really want, and II
he has a chance of winning their votes VIII
be counted for him. Otherwise their view Is
merely recorded, showing the strength of that
particular sentiment. and their second choice
among those having practical chance of win
ming Is added 10 the major first choice votes
and helps 10 determine the result. So citizens
can express their real views without wasting
their votes We shall hereafter give more de-
tailed explanation of the workings OF this
method. which is believed by many TO offer a
more accurate test of opinions in campaign
of complicated issues than any plan now in use
among US Meanwhile we remind our readers
that the time for voting is short, and urge them
10 record their second choice.

CHECK STAMPS.

If any change is TO be made in the internal
revenue law respecting the tax on bank checks
II should be 10 effect entire abolition OF the tax
1t Is proposed in Congress 10 reduce the tax to
one cent thus halving the revenue TO be derived
from the exaction without in the least reducing
the ANNOYANCE and inconvenience which IL occa-
sions. Most persons engaged in business would
probably prefer 10 be relieved from the neces-
sity of stamping their checks, not so much be
cause of the expense Of stamps as because OF
the bother of affixing them or the alternative
necessity Of procuring chcckbooks with the
Government imprint. The two cents is not
particularly serious burden. and probably the
trouble of adjusting business TO new conditions
would more than offset the saving of one-cent
reduction.
People are now pretty we'll accustomed tn the
twocent stamp. Most large business houses
and also many private persons have checkhookS
with the printed two-cent stamps. If the law
is changed these latter will have unused books
on their hands. and must go on paying double
the legal tax or else disarrange their boOlIkeep-
ing turn in for redemption the unused checks
and start their accounts in new books Busi-
ness dislikes petty change. and unless a reduc-
ton can be made in the tax to relieve 1t en-
tirely of trifing eXactiOn the law might as
well remain as IT is.
1t is a good rule for the taxing power never to
make itself felt unnecessarily. If it has the
option of getting at the same constituency by
one tax or by two separate taxes aggregatng
the same amount, let il choose the former. 1t
only annOys and makes taxation irksOme and
Government unpopular by intruding itself twice
upon the citizens attention. The check drawing
community is subject to other stamp taxes. Its
kilograms, its express receipts its stock trans
fers its deeds and mortgages, it's patent medi-
cines are all stamped. II taxes are to be re-
duced il is wiser to cut off entirely some one
exactiOn which will be of most general relief
among these petty imposts, and thus save by
just much not merely the pocket but the
time and temper of the taxpayer.

TO THE CREDIT OF THE CADETS.

The pledge 10 stop hazing and not introduce
similar practices in place Of those abandoned
which was offered to the Congress Committee
just before its adjournment in behalf of the
West Point cadets by the presidents OF the four
classes. was accepted with much satisfaction by
the committee and appropriately acknowledged
by its chairman. 1t might, of course. be nsinu-
ated that the action Of the cadets was intended
10 forestall drastic measures on the part of
Congress and the War Department, and there
fore not particularly creditable. But we much
prefer to suppose that it was induced by sin
cere respect for the public sentiment which has
been so clearly expressed since the committee
got at the real facts in the case. Such is the
avowal Of the well conceived and well written
statement submitted in the name Of the whole
corps, and We see no reason TO question its en-
tire good faith. The cadets have made their
promise because, as they say, they realize that
