TEE ANIMAL PICNIC.

The ceremony OF kicking the Civil Service
Commission downstairs and upstairs has come
10 be settled institution In Congress. The com
mission is used TO II 1t makes the Congress
men feel better. and it does not do anybody
much IL any harm. The Congressman, ma
Jority OF whom are natural speilsmen have
their annual ding at the hated merit system and
threaten 10 cripple II by cutting of appropria-
tons. After having voted TO do this, however
and Gained their nerves by a good kick. they
always restore tie items TO the appropriation
bin, as they did yesterday, and as they always
know they will do beforehand.
u is natural fer Representatives TO dislike the
system. They are mostly politicians who have
built up a local influence on the giye-and-take
principle. They are thinking of themselves
more than Of their country or their party. The
county's work may be best done by clerks Sc
iected through competition. Their party. as a
whole, may be strengthened by the abolition Of
patronage and a system which subjects the
claims Of both parties to unseusht popular
judgment But they themselves in Washington
feel il necessary 10 keep their personal hold on
local politicians by distributing fayors Ac-
cordingiy they never fail TO show their bitter
ness toward the Civil Service law, bat the hast
thing they intend TO do is abolish IL. Not one
OF them on either side wishes his party TO go
into the coming campaign with the record Of
having completely overturned the merit sys-
TEN. however much he may dislike IL and be
willing 20 get around it when he can.
AT this late cay IL is scarcely necessary TO
answer the annual attacks OF the spsils-nea
They reiterate the same old. Isng exploded ar
gureHts Stiil. il may be WORTH while 10 note
the light which the psstzi investigation throws
upon their pet theory that Congressman can
recommend as good government employees as
any Csvl Service ConsEssEisr can pick out by
examinations. The report of Assistant Pest
master 6eneral BEissew On the postal scandals
shows that Of AL the pui8slc servants indicted
on aceeant Of them, net one care into the ser
vice by regular competitive examination, ana
only one who had been orisiaahy Appointed BY
favor had been prsraoted as q result OF com
pettive examination. OF the many rn.ner Of
on acesunt Of the postal Irregularities, but who
had done nething 90 ws-raI6 indictment ttist
three had entered the service by competition.
Whenever Office IS held, net on account of in
dependent merit. but as fayer, The tems<ation
Is to recognize another duty than that toward
the government and aid influential cor1-uution-
lists VINO have rendered official farsrs More
over the idea OF employ ment by favor naturally
deadens the sense OF obligation 10 care what
the government pays. And In turn politicians
expect 10 use Offices which they bestow as a
favor for political work. thus turning the ma
ch.aery which the people establish for their
own service into an instrument for the peoples
control. That is not democracy. That is the

SYMPATHY FOR A DRUNKARD.

It was anything but typical stern Jersey
justice when jury in New-Brunswick fined a
prisoner 500 for infcting a fatal injury with
a billiard cue in a drunken brawl with a man
with whom he had been friendly in his sober
moments.
1t is true the criminal had no intention OF
taking the life OF his friend. He com
pletely intoxicated that he did not know what
he was doing. But the courts have usually
ruled that a man must be held responsible
for serious offences against the laws even
when committed under the influence OF alcohol
The fine in this case was q grotesquely INSULT
cient penalty for this homicide. Surely q long
term of Imprisonment should have been i'm
posed, although there was no premeditated and
malicious scheme to do mortal harm. Severe
lessons in such cases may accomplish good re-
suits. Maudlin compassion for drunkards who
are guilty of crimes while their faculties are
befudded is sorely out OF place

system which prevailed In England under
George III and corrupted government from top
TO bottom.
The merit system as administered has defects.
There are incompetent clerks in office. 1t VIII
be interesting to observe. however, where the
Congressman who complain over the cost OF the
departments on this account will stand when
efforts are made 10 reduce by half hour the
already moderate days work in the executive
offices. One Of the principal causes OF fnetn-
cheney is the Congressional habit Of getting
around the merit system. A temporary service
is organized by favoritism, and then its clerks
are covered into the classified, with all OF the
protection of the merit system, without having
undergone the sitting process which makes
those who have won in competition worth pro-
tectng After doing all they can to debauch
the system and prevent its giving the public
good service, it fl becomes the spoilsmen to
indulge In virtuous laments over the suferings
of the country from the Civil Service law.

ELECTRICITY ON THE CENTRAL.

Criticism which was elected by one feature
of the electrical programme Of the New-forK
Central Railroad has just received attention
from two well known technical periodicals,
THE Electrical World and Engineer" and 'Ihe
Engineering Record" Up to the present time
practically all the electric traction work done
IN the world has been performed with direct
current A number of experiments have been
conducted with the alternating current Of late.
Some Of these encourage the hope that this type
OF current may eventually prove serviceaDle,
but it can hardly be said that all of the minor
questions incident to its adoption have yet been
solved Under the circumstances the Central
gave the preference TO the direct current and
now one occasionally hears the suggestion that
when its motors are in actual they will be
obsolete.
For their approval of the Central's choice tho
technical journals present two cogent reasons.
In view of the immense amount OF traffic to be
handled and the vast Inconvenience which
would result from q serious interruption, It is
better to eliminate all doubt and uncertainty
at the outset Again, certain other railways
notably that in the subway-vith which the
Central will make connections have decided TO
use the direct current II is desirable, Of course,
TO have the rolling stock so equipped that trains
from one road can be run the tracks or
the other and unnecessary changes OF car by
passengers averted. To the general public these
considerations Will appeal so strongly that It is
safe 10 say that the Centrars decision will ex-
cite almost unanimous commentator The pa
irons of the road will unquestionably be better
pleased TO see well tried system adopted soon
than to be obliged to wait several years longer
for the promised innovation.
1t is due to the Central to remember that 1t
has already displayed a distinctly progressive
spirit IN several why's The company is pie-
neer in the substitution of electricity for steam
stations II has ordered engines OF the most
modern type-the steam turbine. The electric
locomotives which are TO haul into the city its
great express trains will likewise represent the
latest advances in mechanism which have stood
the test OF actual service Besides, II the time
ever comes when the Central deems IL expedient
TO introduce the alternating current, no formi-
dabie barrier TO the change will exist No i'm
portant modification VIII be necessary IN the
power stations. It's dynamos would generate
an alternating current anyhow. and the con-
version of this into a direct current would then
be discontinued. AS for the motors-both those
mounted on the trucks Of the suburban cars and
those employed to draw through trains-they
could probably be sold without great loss. The
future. therefore, can be left to take care OF
itself. The present Is OF infinitely greater Inn
portance.

pated; compel all camping parties who enter
the preserves TO employ guides who have been
licensed and who would know enough to pre-
vent fires through careiessness; increase the
penalty for any destruction that Is tracea BILE to
railway locomotives, and provide for State con-
troll OF water power and water supply. Con-
corning the wisdom OF the first three OF these
propositions there will be little dispute. A
measure that embodies them should certainly
receive favorable consideration at Albany this
winter. AS TO the fourth. II may be prudent TO
isolate it from the others temporarily. No doubt
such an enactment would assist In preserving
the beauty of one of the most famous noun
tain groups In the world but 1t involves good
many other interests Also The committee
may be right In protesting against giving the
control OF the States water power to an In
dividual or corporation Whether the State
needs to exercise any new functions itself,
though. is question which ought not to be de-
cided hastily.
