known IS a strong and consistent oppo-
nent of civil service reform both in prin-
cfpIe and practice, ana when in Congress,

six other advocates of the Hanna spoils
system against appropriating money to
longer maintain the Commission of which
he is now a member, and of which, ac-
cording to rumor. he is 10 be the head
1t IS to be expected that many people,
especially in the remoter parts of the
country. will be surprised that a reformed
system Of Government employment based
solely upon merit. under free competitive
examination. should be SVEN to one of its
most 0utspoken and active enemies TO ad-
minister. But, in reality, there is moth
ing strange about it We must admit
that while he was a member of Congress,
Mr. Mckinley was an earnest champion
Of civil service reform. and that, in his
first inaugural address. he pledged him
self 10 maintain the merit system and to
extend il wherever practicable. But, as
he has done in other cases. the President
was not long in changing his views and
course in the premises IN fact the civil
service reforming legislator. when he had
become chief Of the executive was the
first To strike a deadly BLOW TO the whole
fabric. and since the day when by
stroke Of the pen he took eight thousand
places out OF the classified list, and turn
ed them over TO the Hanna patronage bu-
reau. the system has been little better
than a rretence and farce. In its pres
ent condition it presents strong barrier
to applicants for Office who do not enjoy
political influence in addition 10 ability
TO pass the prescribed examinations, and
the law and regulations are easily evaded
o. ignored for the benefit Of persons for
whom places are desired by those high
in authority.
In view Of these considerations. we
must concede that Mr. Rodenberg's ap-
p5intment IS an ideal one As a man in

which his superiors desire to See de-

THE ROGERS WORKS SOLD.
New York Capitalists Secure the Big
Locomotive Plant.

NEW YORK. March 26.-New York cap
italists have closed a deal by which the
Rogers Locomotive Works at Paterson
were bought outright. What was the
price paid and who were the purchasers
was not made public by William Barbour.
one of the receivers. who lives at AS West
Fifty-eighth Street. New York He said
the purchase had been made. that all OF
the Rogers interests had come to an
agreement as to the terms and price and
that all that remained to start the works
running under the new ownership was
the approval Of the courts, which would
without doubt be gained
1t is impossible for me to make known
any Of the conditions Of the sale Mr.
Barbour said Il VIII say, however. that
the sale is practically closed, and that
within two or three works at the latest
the works viii be running full capacity,
and that 300 or more men viii be EN-
pIOyed.
Mr. Barbour was asked if the sale had
been brought about by the cooperative
plan. which was suggested at the time
the works shut down four months ago.
when all the men employed IL the vari-
Gus departments were thrown out OF
work
II will say there IS no cooperation OF
workmeu nor citizens Of Paterson in the
purchase Of the works" Mr. Barbour re
piled The sale will be made to New
York capitalists who think they see not
only profit to themselves. but profit 70

j. s Rogers did not agree with some
of the other stockholders some months
ago when the works were thrown into

want To get out of the business"
The closing Of the works was followed
BY an attempt 10 form q cooperative
company. Mass meetings were held and
800, 90 raised toward the purchase price
The cooperative plan fell through owing
to the failure to raise the required CAPT
tai to make the purchase
Jacob 5 Rogers discouraged attempts
made by the wOTkmen TO form a cO-Opera-
tive company by asking 81 900 for the
use Of his name. besides. il is said, Diac-
