THE RIGHT SYSTKN.

In concluding an editorial upou a recent ruling of the National Civil Service Comm ission requiring all fourth class postmasters 10 stand, CT pass a civil service examination. The Arkansas Gazette of Wednesday, says;
 Thus the day has actually come when fourth class pOstoriices, instead of being political spells. are 10 be filled after examinations designed 10 test the fitness of the applicant for the duties of postmaster. It is easy to believe that eventually all postmasters will be selected on merit"
 And so they should be, and the sooner the better. Efficiency in the public service demands that the dis triDution Of postmastership Q b $ should be taken out of the hands of machine politicians.

How fitZ Felt About It,

Among the peech-makers at tfe union station rally held at the court house in this city on January It. was postmaster T c, Fitzpatrick. who took the position that instead of ask ing favor Of the railroad companies the people of Forrest City were 0ply asking the railroads 10 pay them back in improvements now for loan and grants that had been extended tbeSe corporations by the tax payers of St, Francis county in the past Nr
 Fitzpatrick < speech brought down he house. and was decidedly one of tbe most telling blows dealt in favor of tLe 1nion station enterprise.
