CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
Warmly Advocated by Secretary
Bonaparte of the Navy.

There Is no more outspoken advocate of
real practical reform In the civil service
than Secretary Bonaparte OF the Navy De-
partment. Why" he asked in a recent
discussion Of that subject, do really first
class men. as a rule, shun public employ
ment In its highest grades, and too often
oblige their city, state or nation. to be con-
tent with the second-class If indeed these
can be secured, and our public trusts are
not abandoned to the clearly unfit"
AS an answer to that question. Secretary
Eonaparte said in part: First because
public offices of great responsibility are
generally and grossly underpaid. My i'm
mediate predecessor In the office l hold re-
celyed 5000 per annum; ne now serves q
great corporation and receives $780, The
Attorney General also has 5000 annually
In any case of sufficient Importance for him
10 try 1t. the fees of the counsel opposed to
him will, nine times out of ten equal or
exceed his entire yearly salary. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury Is compensated with
the like liberality. He must deal with and
contend against fnanciers who count that
day lost in which but SIS. 900 has been added
to their wealth. L give instances from the
federal service because, for the moment
these occur more readily to my mind but
what | say of them is no less clearly true
OF substantially all public offices which, If
they are to be we'll filled must be filled by
flrst-claSs men. When our public servants
are matched against the servants OF huge
corporations or individuals of vast wealth
we are Disguised and alarmed to find them
outclaSsed; a very little thought should
milionaires get what they pay for and we
get what we pay for likewise; the only
difference is that they are sufficiently SEN
sible to know they must pay out what

oenAve TO Judge. We behave to . military
or naval e4cer. - II we expected 70 find
MN msa OF honor: and in no email naeas-
ure - result Of that treatment with
iamentable, but comparatively rare ercep-
tons. we do find him q man OF honor We
safeguard our soldiers and sailors against
an old age OF misery. and men OF the nigh
est character and capacity willingly reiin-
quiSh the hope OF wealth and the tnde-
pendence Of civil life to thus serve u.s. Al
though. as yet, a like provision for our
judges IL scayfdaiousfy far from universal
and although their salaries amount hardly
to a living wage. we yet find men worthy
OF the bench 10 give up for IL all the great
possibilities OF our bar. Our courts and
our army and navy are indeed far from
perfect. neither Is our treatment OF those
who preside In the former or who COM
mand the latter in all respects lust 10 them
or worthy OF US. but speaking broadly we
obtain for our service the best to be OBJ
tanned for our outlay: indeed IT were safe
TO say far better men than the like salaries
command elsewhere.
Now we can as readily get good civil
servants as we can get good military serv-
ants; We can obtain legislative and eAecu-
tive officers of high grade as are our
judicial officers or even as these ought to
be. but TO gather the same harvest We must
SOW the same seed and use the same hus-
bar-iry. Until we do that. In other words,
until we have the sense and courage to see
things as they are and be guided by that
sight II Ill becomes to murmur when
we reap only tares and cookie. A free peo-
pie has always as good government as IL
deserves; II Its rulers are unworthy. II has
shirked the duties and the burdens OF
freeulen."

A Tree Destroying River.
From Harper's Magazine

FROM Harper's Magazine.
The ella river enters the Colorado Just
west of Yuma, and crossed its angry
waters through maze of eddies and whirl-
pools through which immense quantities
of driftwood were whiriing In mad race
Escaping the worst of the turmoil We
reached the town at racing speed and made
triumphant landing with half our journey
accomplished.
At most places along shore the river had
reached the line OF older growths and was
ieveling the larger trees by hundreds wher-
ever bend of the river directed the force
of the current against the far shore. Trees
ten inches in diameter and twenty TO thirty
feet high We're constantly topping into the
Unsuitable river.
The fall of these larger trees was always
graceful. The first intimation of IL a
distinct shiver that ran through the entire
tree, but most marked In the upper
branches: a moment later the tree would
bend gracefully forward as II bowling to- its
enemy. An instant's pause and 1t would
sink slowly into the rushing waters that
had reached to and loosened the inshore
roots.
Tree after tree of this larger growth
would start down the river broadside TO the
current Slowly at first 1t would roll over
and over. tangling it's branches into a great
skeleton wheel. rolling faster and faster as
