new YORK and The CONVENTION.

From the Providence Journal
New York is trying just as hard to get
the next democratic national convention
as II it were some inferior city IN tine
provinces"
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The belief that democratic ticket could
not be nominated in New York without
carrying a faint speaks poorly Tor the
deodorizing influences at work here. The
idea is to fool the people into believing
that none of our depraved influences can
take q train to Chicago. st. Louis or else
where to attend q political convention.
If this were true, q concession might De

From the Buffalo Express.
The best reason for holding the demo-
cratic national convention In New YORK
is the educative value which q visit to the
metropolis would have for many western
democrats,

When the American government has
named man for employment in the civil
service. 1t assures him of
No American permanence provided he
does his work well and
AA00"A" AA'o' does not engage in per
nicious craftsmanship" But that is as far
as it goes. 1t leaves him absolutely to
his own devices when once it has admin
istered the oath of office to him. He may
remain a thousand-dollar clerk for forty
years without promotion or change OF
duties, Or he may rise to be cabinet
officer. And yet it is not necessarily de-
pendent upon the man himself entirely
whether he stays at the foot OF the list
or rises to the top. For, unfortunately
the limitations of human nature enter
into the equation, and chief clerks and
chiefs of divisions cannot help feeling per
sonal likings and favOring those who are
individually agreeable to them or whose
peculiar styles of work they prefer
1t may be a question whether the best
results are scored from a system or au
can system Possibly the assurance OF
an annual increment deprives the clerk
of an incentive to labor diligently. or
perhaps on the other hand, that assur-
keeping his mind concentrated upon the
duty that lies before him and IN prevent
ing him from feeling jealous Of his more
fortunate associates.
Probably some adaptation of the Brit
ish annual increment system could be Ell
fected by the American government TO
the end of preventing the feeling that
prevails in some Of the departments that
promotions go by favor and at the same
time keeping old clerks spurred to their
best possible endeavors in the hope or
reaping an exceptional reward. In the
British system perhaps the least salts
factory feature is the division Of the serv-
ice into what have been styled water
tight compartments It is virtually I'M
POSSIBLE In England for a clerk to rise
out of his class or grade, inasmuch as In
order to do so he must take an examine
ton in competition with men fresh from
the universities and schools and better
qualified to pass the examinations: tur-
thermore, in most cases the clerk mas
after several years of service IN the low wv
err grade, passed the age limit liked TOT
the higher and is. therefore. barred from
competition by reason. Of perhaps the very
fact that would make him most suitable
appointee to the place Of higher RESPONSE
Yet this very limitation is a char
acteristic of the British civil service
system. The whole organization revolves
upon the single principle of permanence

since the time OF Bismarck, who pro-
claimed that there was no right-that
force suppressed right"
The ratification of the Franco-Cerman
treaty has been received with positive
sullenness in Germany. In France the
same thing may be said. A dispatch
from Paris on the 18th instant said: Tho
tranco-German treaty. ratified reluctant
iy by the chamber of deputies after
stormy debate. has not contributed as II
was thought il would, to strengthen the
tension between the two countries" On
the contrary, the debate and the vote
proves that a definite ARRANGEMENT be-
tween the two countries is more remote
now than at any time since 1871
The socialist element ia Germany Is
loyal and devoted to the army. Tho
socialist in France is disloyal and an
avowed anti-militarist Between Bebel
and Herve and Jaures there is a deep
gulf The French socialist is an execra-
BILE and insupportable anarchist, who but
for his wholesome dread OF the army
would plunge the country into the ter
rors Of the revolution. The French re-
public appears to have finally separated
from its association with this element.
and with Herve in prison the party has
been placed upon higher plane.
NJ. JaureS. the leader OF the French
socialists, made long speech in the
chamber, in which he announced that he
would vote for the FTanco-German
treaty because IL might tend TO bring
about rapprochement between England
and Germany. NJ. Delafosse, deputy from
the Calvados. voted against the treaty
because he believed ii would augment the
chances Of conflict between France end
Germany. NJ Lasuerre. deputy rom the
Naucluse opposed the treaty because he
did not believe in the good faith OF Ger
many. NJ. Driant, deputy of the Meurthe
and Moselie. would not vote for the
treaty because Of the incident at Agacir.
The deputies OF the Nosges and the Lor-
raine a5stained from voting.

in the preparation OF troops for war.
In the autumn almost every army will

Welsh Feel Neglected.

The people Of Wales have suddenly
awakened to knowledge OF the fact that
they have been neglected In the way OF
orders, and see no reason why they
should not have a special order Of their
own, just as Scotland has the Thistle
and Ireland its Knighthood Of St. Pat
rick.
The fervor OF Welsh nationalism has
by no means been wholly appeased by
the kings assent to the proposal to hold
an investiture of the Prince of Wales,
and ii is felt that the occasion should
be cominemorated by some further tribute
to Welsh loyalty.
No one Is anxious to sport the Order
OF the Leek. but quite a lot of patriotic
Welshmen are burning to become
knights Of the Red Dragon" and even
Celtic democrats like Lloyd George him
self, who prefer plain mister to all the
titles of blue blooded aristocracy, are
said to have no objection to the creation
OF an Order OF st. David.
Meanwhile preparations begin in earnest
at Carnavon today for the ceremony in
the castle courtyard next July. Huge
stands are to be erected, and every ar
ran&ement made TO accommodate az big

F,M,MURPHY SMILES IN
FACE Of RECENT DEFEAT.

Mr. Murphy was asked If he Mad
seen the article in the Gazette re-
commenting his withdrawal from the
territory. lie said he had been told
about IL and il was expected that
what little influence the Gazette had
would be used toward driving every.
body out Of the territory who could
be OF any use in developing either ~
industries or its citizenship. Remark.
ing that the election Of Hunt means
sixty or eighty thousand dollars to
the Gazette, as IL was understood one
of the proprietors had claimed, Mr..
Murphy could not figure out why the
Gazette should feel so rcsentful to.
ward him for sllcgedly creating sit.
uation which benefits IL 40 much.
Pursuing this line Of thought he
said the fact Of the business is that
he has never favored any body who
would take money out Of the tax
payers, and IL the Gazette does make
sixty or eighty thousand dollars rs
the result Of Hunts election IL Is 10
be hoped the money will not come
from the taxpayers but will be fur
nishcd from some other source, which
the new governor may possibly be
able to arrange.
A citical inspection OF the gentle.
man being interviewed, left the i'm
preston that his health was all that
has been claimed for IL and all that
IL could have been even IL the whole
republican ticket had been elected.
While he did not say il in as many
words the impression was left that IL
was not his purpose 10 leave Arizona
not at least on the Gazette's first
invitation, and his urgent engage.
ments indicated that insofar as IL
could be done under new conditions,
IL was his purpose 60 keep right on
building railroads and opening mp
mines. He believes sincerely that IL
the people had voted differently the
effect on Arizona would have been
decidedly to its business as well a.
its political advantage, but he has
no notion OF giving away his railroads
or filling up his mines just TO spite
few political enemies.
II may be stated as fact, also
that Mr.. Murphy Is not considering
the Gazettc's gratuitous advice Ia
"attcnd TO his own business and keen
out Of politics. Somehow he shares
with his fellow citizens the belief
that IL IL his perfect right, rs well
ms his duty, to exercise the right OF
suffrage and "mix inn the political
game at any and all times he may M
desire.
