Real Civil Service Reform.

The commission appointed by the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment
last summer to investigate the municipal
civil service and recommend means by
which useless places may be discontinued
and salaries e~qualized, suggested three
possible plans Of improvement in its
preliminary report, which has just been
printed in the City Record. Thesewere:
-First-Add TO the present classification (which
is based on the separate requirements Of each depart
mento further necessary positions and grades. and
eliminate theTefrom those unnecessary.
-Seoond-Adopt an entirely new classification
Of positions and grades based upon the require
ments OF the several departments. bureaus and
onnces. limiting the number Of lncumbents for each
position and grade thereof IN each branch, or not,
as the Board sees At. and abolish the existing classi'
ncation in its entirety.
~"Thrd-Adopt one new general classification
OF titles Of positions and grades applicable TO the
requirements Of all the departments. Positions Of
A special character. which are only necessary In
certain departments, might, IN ihis classincstion
be limited 10 such departments. and also as TO the
Hunber OF lncumbents. Allowances might like
wise be made for the continuation of present In
cumbents only. OF positions and grades actually
nued, and not hitting into the new schedule. thu:
gradually abolish!ng all positions except those pro,
yided for In tits new classification
OF these alternatives, the third is
obviously the best. The members Of the
commission are so impressed with its
merits that they especially commend it.
Obviously, the first plan is merely to bring
I'D to date the system now in operation,
under which the prevailing chaotic con-
ditions have grown up. The second
scheme would result in unnecessary
MULTIPLICATION Of schedules, with un-
avoidable inequalities in compensation,
promotion and other details. All these
weaknesses would be avoided by the
third plan.

The Verdi Monument.

The unwilling Of the monument to
GIUSEPPE VERDI yesterday was a tribute
most fitting. For half a century the
music Of the great Italian composer
has delighted Americans. Even to-day,
despite the production Of operas by the
younger generation of Italian musicians,
the works Of VERDI are the backbone Of
the immense popularity Of Italian opera
in this city. Those who look beneath
al the elements which combine to make
interesting and vital the creations Of
such writers as PUCcINI, LEoNCAvALLo
and MAsCAGNI.
There has been no other such towering
figure as VERDI in the recent history of
Italian music. To find n like him the
music lover must so back TO PALEsTRINA,
CoRELLI, LoTTI and the ScARLATTIs.
Even RossINI's theatrical brilliancy
pales before the refulgence Of VERDI's
flaming passion, his captivating melody
and his dramatic sincerity. His best
works hold the stage and delight all
audiences. He has conquered America
as he has conquered Germany.
Not the least striking feature Of YER
DIS career was his majestic advance in
keeping with the progress Of modern
music. He abandoned his old manner
and revolutionized Italian opera when
he wrote AIDA but he went still
further toward the untrammelled music
drama Of to-day when he composed his
noble -Otello.' Finally, in his extreme
old age. at a time when he might well
have been contented to rest on his lau-
rels, he wrote his astonishing -Falstaff, y
a comic opera Of which MOZART himself
would have been proud and which will
undoubtedly hold a permanent place as
a classic Of lyric art.
One of the Hottest figures in music,
VERDI was also distinguished Is a patriot.
a philanthropist and a mar of pure and
simple life. Americans will be glad that
the composers countrymen have set up
in New York a lasting memorial Of this
iliustrious tone poet.

Third Day of Registration

Again to-day the election officers will
be at the polling places in New York city
to register voters for the election OF
November 9. This is the third OF the
four days of registration.
When the registration places closed on
Tuesday evening, the Hearst-Murphy
deal for the prostitution OF the judiciary
had not been made. To-day it is a fact.
From the ticket which HEARST and
MURPHYhave begotten every citizen may
learn what rule by political blackmail
linked with political cowardice would
mean.
The man who neglected to register on
Saturday or Monday, excusing his failure
by indulging the hope that the voters in
the upper part Of the State would save
him from HEARST, to-day is threatened
in his own home. No bolt in Erie, no
overwhelming Republican landslide in
Kings, can protect him in New York
county. The campaign against decent
government has been brought to the
threshold Of every citizens home.
To-day every man who believes in
honest laws, construed by honest Judges
and enforced by honest executives should
register and equip himself to do his duty
on election day. .
