GOOD NERIICE ECONOMICAL.

A curious example of the occasional survival
of ignorant. ShortSighted and wornuut pre- III
dices is 10 be seen in New Jersey, i'll some of
the opposition. probably the chief opposition to
the enactment OF an enlightened Civil Service
law 1t is objected that the proposed system
will cost something. That, no doubt is true.
But really cannot that it has anything
TO do with the case. All government that is
worth having costs something The Governor
the Legislature. the Judiciary, are all sources Of
expense TO the state But nobody suggests
abOliShfng them to save the expense. The belief
IS that they are worth to the state more than
they cost, but iD any case they are necessarieS
which the state must have at any cost
The proper organization Of the Civil Service
on the basis of merit should also be regarded
AS necessary TO every civilized state without
consideration of cost 1t means honesty. eff
cheney, cleanliness and those are things which
no self-reSpecting state should neglect: nor is
the cost of them to be reckoned as deterrent
any more than is the cost of soap aud towel
by the man whose sense of self respect moves
him to take a bath. There are SOre things
which are not subject to the rule of dCllArS ana
cents
Nevertheless. on the sordid ground of direct
pecuniary profit and loss. the merit system Of
Civil Service is TO be commended and has been
vindicated. Experience has demonstrated that
il saves more than ii costs, in dollars and cents
1t is proposed in New Jersey to keep the ex-
penSe of the system within $4,000 which is con
siderably less than > per cent of the salary
list of the 1.600 places which will Immediately
be affected by the law. That does not seem TO
be an excessive premium TO pay for assuring
the efficiency of the service In New York the
cost is naturally much greater. but it is gen
orally recognized a profitable Investment.
There is excellent ground for believing that
within short time after it becomes law, as we
trust ii speedily will. Senator Acierman's bill
will cause actual saving rather than cost to the
New Jersey treasury.

 Despite the heavy expense involved in this operation the general plans as heretofore outlined will be adhered to. nor is the company in any wise dis couraged by the difficulties confront ing them. nor do they falter one mo- ment in their determination to reach the ultimate goal.
 If the volume of this days pump ing record were put in Standard oil tanks such as are brought in Tomb stone daily, each car having a capac- ity of 10000 gallons, it would re quire a train five and one-half miles in length to transport the output for a single day.
 While the unparalleled problem of the unwatering of the lower levels is being gradually solved, to the T. c. M. company is also accorded an other record and distinction of equal interest. It has the record of being the largest silver producing company in Arizona, while the gold output is increasing yearly. The returns tO the assessor shows actual silver bullion output for last year of 454,412 ounces and gold values nearly 1000 ounces.

.BASKED IN THE RAYS
 OF MIDNIGHT SUN
Ed OIeson Back From a Globe Trot- ting Excursion.

Ed Oleson returned home Thanks giving morning from a summer tour he begun on May 24th. He travelled over considerable territory going as far north as he could get in Norway. his native land, without stepping off into the Artic ocean. Arriving there he leaned up against the Russian boundary line and made faces at the czar as long as he wanted to. then turned and greeted the midnight sun and travelled back to his childhood home for a little visit before -bidding it good bye forever.
 He came to America 2S years ago and this was his first trip back since then. He says it will also be his last for good many reasons, not that he loves Norway less but that he loves America more. One fact that rather opened his eyes and marks one of the greatest possible changes between the Norway of his youth and that of to- day. is that the intemperate use of liquor is not only forbidden but the government has actually prohibited its manufacture, and has given present owners of stocks a certain reasonable length of time in which to dispose of their goods.
 When he left here Mir. OlesOn was accompanied by a sister who visited the old home with him and returning stopped in New York with other sis ters. He came on west to Springs. Ark, where he spent three weeks in disposing of a cargo of Norwegian rheumatism The brought back with him and was allowed to slip by the GUS toms officers without duty. He gives the springs credit for about half the cure and the rest of it he ascribes to a medicine called "salvar" that he procured there. If the makers see this notice they may remit advertising rates for it to the business offic
 Readers of The Republican may re call that during the summer MT. Ole son wrote this paper saying that he had trouble in receiving his copy reg ularly in Norway. and that The Re publican threatened to send a fleet of war ships over there to have the sit uation inquired into. Mir. OlesOn said he showed that threat to the local postmaster and had no trouble there after.
