Civil Service

1t is gratifying to note that Civil
Service now has a firm hold on tn,
policy of the United States Govern
ment. The need of the very best tai
ent in public service has brought this
change about in other countries, es,
pecially England, to whom we are
indebted for the example of IA fire..
quently changing policy at the head
of the government itself.
The pee lliar condition of politics
in this country has made it a very
difficult matter to establish civil
service here. Its introduction has
been fought steadily, year after year
had friends to whom he owes his
position, and whom he wished to re-
ward by placing nj the public service
at a good salary.
While civil service has at last fast.
ened itself on the government of the
United States, it is still an unknown
quantity in nearly all, if not all, OF
the states. For example, take the
organization of the Legislature in al
the selection Of the many officers of
that body, men are not chosen for
their peculiar fitness, or ability to
preform the services that will be re-
quired of them. The different of
ticer' are apportioned out among the
several counties, and the question
asked is, not as to the persons fitness
for the position, but what has he done
for the party to entitle him to be thus
favored? In fact, any person, as "A
rule, who is favored by an office,
must have been a worker for the
party. He. must have rendered some
signal service in its behalf, and it
does not matter whether that service
is of such "A character that 1t will pass
muster as n moral and upright action
or one decidedly off color emitting
the doer to ii berth in the states pr
On.
But civil service rules will, bye and
bye, find their way into the govern
ment of the states, and we shall then
see IA great change in the work done
in the different departments. Then.
when there is u change in the heads
of the department, there will not be
IA wholesale kicking out of competent
men. and the installation of a lot of
favored party workers, whose only
claim to the positions is the fact that
they were able to DO some very ques
tionable work for the benefi: of their
party.

plorable that Congress has no sup

that Mr.. Hepburn has been hanged

he has introduced and his attitude
toward the railways. From other
sources-notably Pennsylvania
through Congressman Sibley-come
notes and thunders of protest, and
friends of the reform have great fear
that they will moi be able to overcome
the coalition OF those opposed to any
really effective bill. The opposition
OF the Chamber of Commerce in New
York is easily understood for IA large

road stock is held in New York
