Every man. accused or convicted, has
a right to appeal TO the courts until his
case is finally settled. Consequently, Judge
Felt, of the Hancock Circuit. simply exer-
cised his p~rerogative as a magistrate when
he decided TO hear George NJ. Rays petit
ton for a writ of habeas corpus. Because
Judge Felt made ar order to hear the mat
ter did not warrant the assumption that
he would decide in Rays favor. Judge
Felt heard the argument, and in a legal
opinion finds there is no ground to grant
the petition of Ray. He made it equally
clear that he had a judicial right to grant
the hearing. Instead of using his Of
fetal power to defeat the ends of justice,
as was hastily charged in some quarters,
he has made it entirely clear that George
NJ. Ray has received an impartial trial and
was rightly convicted.

POS OFFICE REFORM.

The establishment of a new merit sys-
tenn in the indianapolis postofice and of a
board to enforce it is a matter of more
than local interest. The order under which
the system is established is as follows:
For the purpose of securing equitable
promotions based upon merit. and TO
afford all clerks in the classified service
an opportunity TO advance in salary. and
to secure transfers from one classifica-
ton or division to another, according to
their efficiency, the merit system is here
by established in the Indianapolis postof-
flee.
The merit board shall investigate all err
rors, violations of rules, or complaints
regarding the service against any employee
of the office, either clerk or carrier, and
shall submit in each case a report, with a
recommendation of such action as may be
deemed proper, To the postmaster for his
approval.
The merit board shall adopt from time to
time such rules and regulations. in con-
formity with the postal laws and regula-
tons, and subject to the approval of the
postmaster, as IL may deem necessary TO
determine the character. quality and guam
tity of work performed by all employees
of the office. and their behavior and at
tendance.
This is not only a practical recogni-
ton of civil-service reform. but is an adj
vance on the rules and regulations of the
Civil-service Commission. While these
rules apply to original appointments. re-
stricting them to the list of eligibles who
ave passed the examination. and require
promotions to be made for merit, they
90 not provide any means of ascertain
ing degrees of merit. The common idea
that after a person is once safely past the
civil service examination and appointed
in the government service he may do pref
ty much as he pleases is very erroneous.
The civil-service law contemplates that
promotion. and even retention in the serv-
ice shall depend upon faithful and intel
ligent performance of duty. Successful
passing of the original examination is no
assurance of permanent employment. I'm
der the civil-service law n government en-
ploye may not be removed for political
reasons. but he may be for inefhciency
or neglect of duty. and these are as good
cause for reduction I'm grade or salary as
efficiency and faithfulness are for promo
ton. In every large office where there are
many employees il is important to have
an established method of ascertaining
their fitness with a view to determining
their claims for, retention in the service
and for promotion. IL a person who has
been i'm the government service i've or ten
years has not as good claim for retention
as he had for original appointment the fact
should be Known. If ne has no claim for
promotion beyond mere length Of service.

SEVERAL WRANGLES CHARACTER
IZE III MEETING.
A Complication Arises Over the Sab
sence' Of INSTRUMENTATION Oh
Sinking Fund Commissioners.

President Grail had plenty of wrist exer-
else last night. i'm welding his gavel at
the regular meeting of the City Council,
for the members of that BODY were IN
clined TO be a trife unruly at times and
they had TO be called to order frequently.
Several questions came up before the meet
ing that caused a wide dif1erence vi opih-
ION and the supporters of the respective
factions were constantly on the moor APP
healing for recognition. There was a lull
in the exciting proceedings during 'he III
production of new ordinances and the an
nouncement made by Mr.. Megrew that IL
was necessary for the Council 10 erect at
that meeting, two of the members Oh the
sinking fund commission, whose duties are

The Council took a recess of nfteen min
utes to caucus on candidates and when the
ballots were cast Charles F. CONN was
elected by the Republicans and Aquiila Q.
Jones by the Democrats.
THE FIRST wRRNGLE.
The first wrangle occurred when Coun-
Gilman Negley introduced a resolution
granting the Gentry dog and pony show
permission TO show in the city during the
year. Mr.. Negley explained that the agent
of the show had secured communication
from property holders in the vicinity OF
two sites-at Pratt and Illinois streets and
Seventeenth street and Capitol avenue
stating that they did not object TO the
show exhibiting on the lots mentioned.
Strong objection was raised against the
resolution being passed at once. as 1T was
claimed that the property owners had not
all been seen and no action should be taken
until it was ascertained whether or not
there was any objection TO the show. The
resolution was sent TO the judiciary com
mittee.
The committee on fees and salaries re-
ported favorably on the ordinance granting
a salary of $500 a year 10 a second assistant
city attorney. and when the ordinance later
came up for passage Councilman Billings
ley made a light against 1t, saying that II
seemed to him TO be a needless expense.
The ordinance was passed by a vote OF IL
to 5. those voting against IL being Killings
ley. Evans. SNegiey. Reilly and SpieSei.

II appears in industrial notes published
recently that two or three small cotton
mills and a small wooden mill have passed
iato the hands Of receivers i'm Vermont. In
cotton manufacture there is no combina-
ton. but the industry has reached a point
where a small plant. located at a distance
from the supply of raw material cannot
compete will extensive plants which have
every facility for manufacture and can
make money upon a very small profit be-
cause of the larger output. Upon this small
profit the small plant cannot pay expenses.
or the wooden mill IL is said that lack of
capital and the unsatisfactory condition OF
the trade have caused the embarrassment
Of the owners. Without the combination
called trusts the small plant cannot COM
pete with the larger. without the combina-
ton the small factory badly located must
suspend sooner or later. because it cannot
stand the sharp competition.

Writers who seem anxious to create the
suspicion that American soldiers murder
the wounded Fflipinos quote figures show
ing that the killed are largely in excess
of the wounded captured. The most of The
wounded are able to get away. as those
who recall the late war for the Union will
recall. The number Of wounded that can
get away must be much larger with the
smaller missile in present use, which does
not PROSTATE the victim unless it strikes
bones or vital parts. Still, the charging
that American soldiers murder prisoners Is
q fair method of warfare for Americans
who applaud Aguinaldo.
