INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE
A Matter of National Pride to
England.
BIG SALARIES PAID
COMPARISON WITH PAY OF
PHILIPPINE OFFICIALS.
Provision Made for Pensions for EN-
ployes and the Deposits
Required.
BIG SALARIES PAID
BY WILLIAM f. CURTIS.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star and
Chicago Record Herald.
SINGAPORE. April IL. 1904.
The civil service of India and other Brit
ish provinces in the east is a matter of
national pride, and no one can study its
records and it's methods without admitting
its success and superiority to the ordinary
official administration of other govern
ments.
The reason for the character and eff
cheney of the official staff In Egypt, India.
Burma. Ceylon. the Straits Settlements, the
Malay federation. Hong Kong and other
British provinces in the east is easily found.
The government gets good men because it
offers suitable inducements, permanent po-
sitions at large salaries, rapid promotion
for merit. with liberal leaves of absence
and pensions upon retirement at the term-
nation of certain periods of service. Our
government must adopt a similar policy
in the Philippines II 1t would have an
equally good administration.
The East India Salary List.
Every congressman and every other per-
son interested in the administration of af-
fairs at Manila, particularly President
Roosevelt. Secretary Taft, Gov. Wright and
those who have immediate control of af-
fairs should carefully study the salary list
of the British colonies in the east, particu-
larly that of india the conditions of ap-
pointment anG the regulations governing
the civil service
There has already been considerable crit
icism of the large salaries now paid to off,
Gals In the Philippines, but 1t comes from
people who know nothing whatever of the
requirements necessary or the compensa-
ton received by similar officials in other
parts of the east. 1 have a compare tive
statement showing in American gold the
salaries paid in the Philippine Islands. in
British India. Ceylon, the Straits Settle
ments. Hong Kong and other British colo
MES to officials of corresponding rank or
performing similar duties, and / suggest
that 1t is worthy of the attention of those
who are taking an interest In this subject.

The Difference in Salaries.

You will notice that although the gov
ernors Of Ceylon, Hongkong and the Straits
settlements have duties and responsibilities
that are Insignificant compared with those
imposed upon Governor Wright Of the Phil
ippines, they get about $4,000 a year more
salary than he. And the heads of depart
ments in India receive as much as the
governor OF the Philippines. The chief
justice of Hongkong. a little settlement not
so large as the District OF Columbia, has
SoOD year more than the chief Justice
at Manila, and the chief justice of India
has $4,000 more, while the associate Jus
tces In those colonies get twice as much
as in the Philippines, the judges OF the
lower courts nearly three times much,
and other judicial officers corresponding ad-
vances. 1t Is refreshing occasionally to
discover that one OF our men gets more
salary than the Englishman. This peculiar
distinction belonges to the superintendent
of education, health Inspectors and one or
two other scientific men In Manila. But
as a rule. the salaries paid In the British
colonies Will average twice as much
those we pay I'm the Philippines. and in the
case of provincial governors in India they
are twelve times as much.
Lieutenant governors In India receive
$4,000 a year. and secretaries or heads of
bureaus In the provinces are paid S12, 800
which is more than is received by the com
missioners In the Philippines. Members OF
the boards of revenue IN India receive
1900 year. All magistrates Of the first
$4,000 year, which is the minimum of
the judiciary. District and session judges
receive from that amount to $500 a year.
according to their length of service and
Importance OF the circuit over which they
preside.
In Burma where official responsibilities
and duties are light as in any other
country OF the world. and where the popu-
lation is only 1905. $50. the governor re-
ceives $4,000 q year. the chief secretary

Worked Up the Ladder.
All of the gentlemen now occupying these
positions, and drawing their salaries, ex-
cepting the judges. began at the bottom of
the ladder. They entered the public serv-
ice I'm India colonies before they were twen-
ty-five years old. after passing two exam
nations. the second occurring after one
year OF probation. In which their admins
trative qualities and adaptabiiity had been
fairly tested. and the record they made
during that first year counted so many
numbers I'm their total standing. They have
been compelled to submit to similar examf-
nations at every promotion since, and have
worked their way up by merit without
po~ucai influence. although, as IL always
the case, the personal equation entered into
every calculation

THEATRICAL men
AND mayor DISAGREE D s. A ' L:
Question of Construction Of City
Ordinance to be Settled
in the Courts.S

The misunderstanding between Mayor
Mccarthy and the theatre managers con Z
tinues and when the case against the
Academy OF Music Is called in the Police
Court this morning, the Mayor Will con-
tend that the managers have violated the
ordinance by allowing persons to stand
: in the foyer, the space Immediately IN
rear OF the orchestra and balcony seats.
The managers, through their counsel.
Mr.. Allen O. Collins, will contend, that
the sense OF the ordinances Is not to pro-
hibit reasonable number OF persons
from standing In the foyer, but that q
proper construction OF the law means that
persons may+not stand or sit In the aisles
OF the theatres.
Pending settlement OF the qucs-
ton, however. the managers Will not al :
low any one 20 stand in any part OF
either OF the theatres, and only persons
holding coupon tickets will be admitted.
A conference was held yesterday af-:
ternoon at the City Hall. with the Mayor.
Manager Wells. Manager Rex. Chief
Ht,lce and Fire Commissioners 4Frlschkorn
and Lecky present The City Attorney
was asked to attend. but he declined,
deeming 1t not the time 10 give an opln-
ion on the matter. No agreement was
reached at the conferen "
d Manager Wells sa i'd last nEht that II
would be suicidal in him to run mp
against the law He said that the man
agcmcnt OF both theatres desired to keep
within the laws and to provide all COM
forts, conveniences and safety to the pa =
irons Of the theatres. If their construc-
ton OF the ordinance in question is
wrong one. they are perfectly willing and
more than anxious TO accept and abide
by the proper construction. " ID
We want to doEnothlng but what Is
right" said Mr.. Wells. "Our interests lie
/ in this city. We are taxpayers, and
have much at stake and 1t. would be ABB
surds for Us 10 evade any Of the laws. We
cannot agree with the Mayor on the con.
struction OF the ordinance, but we Will
carry out his suggestion pending settle
n1ent. by the courts.

FIGHTING WAS KEEN.
Worlds Fair Officials Have No
Easy Time Deciding Awards.

l0peCldl Lug LucSsAiSldSS!!.I
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3o-'"The friendly
competition entered into by the worlds
manufacturers at the Exposition has
turned into regular free-for-all fight,
and its fury has centered around the type &
writer award, which was finally decided
to-day, when the Exposition officially,
awarded the Oliver Typewriter the gold
medal as mark OF Its practical supe-
rlority. Each exhibitor presented a score
OF claims why he should get honors as
against all comers and the competition
became SO keen that eacn firm felt the
entire standing Of their business was tied
up In the receipt Of the priced medal. AL
the typewriter exhibitors being American,
they displayed spirit OF Yankee fight
that made decision hard. Some Of them
even went so far as to an ticlpate results.
and announced several weeks ago that
they had won In the contest, though the
official award was only made to-day, and
us a result the Oliver typewriter people
are being congratulated on winning q
great victory. III III H 5t4j 81
