Last night ane Board passed a resolation to enforce the te. We have no idea that it will be enfurced. | ¢ hogs, cows, goats, and geese are running at rge as gaily as ever, and their owners : evidently mo notiom of surrendering the privilege of making the city a common sture. Doubtless they will triamph ever the Board of Health, as they did ever the Mayor and Major Iichards. We all remember the Ma or’s vigorous procia- mation setting ferth that the law against ani- mals running at large would be daly enforced afier such a date and enjoining upon the Sa- perintendent of Police the carrying out ef the order. The Superintendent of Police duly no- titied his men to carry out the proclamation. ‘The police started out with a grand flourish of trumpets, buat taking precious good care not to set very near the animals lest they might dirty their good clothes. However, they couldn't help capturing three @r four porkers so fat that | they couldn't waddle: a half-hipped gander; and a doxen short-legged ducks, but the owners all went up to the Mayor's office making a piteous bow! over the loss of their property, and that hind-hearted official abated the penalty andthe } ig-owners went off rejoicing. ‘This is the way the experiment of suppressing the nuisance has worked thus far. Now let us see if the Board of Health will have more back- bone than the Mi and the Superintendent of Police. seoe- Ralfroad from Washington to Rich- mond. in view of the ob-tructions to travel because of the iceon the Potomac, the Richmond Dis- vfch urges that it ix about time that the link | wanting between Alexandria and Fredericks- barg to make @ continuous railway line be- tween Washington and Richmond should be completed.

Ex-Seeretary Cox on Civil Service | Keferm. | The current number of th North Am-ri com Review bi in article by ex-Secretary of the Interior Cox on bis hobby—Civil Service Re- torm—in which the writer sets fort the ac- knowledged abuses which exist under the pr: ent system of political appointments, and the- orizes at length on a remedy for them. What he says of the wild bunt for office, its corrapt ting ntluenee, and the general worth! written recommendations, is true; and so is his “tatement that much valuable time of officials which might be better employed, is wasted on such matters. though, perhaps, he exaggeratesin saying “that by far the larger part of the time ot the President and all the members of his Cabinet is cecapied by this worse than mselees drudgery during the whole term of his office, and it forms literally and absolutely the staple of their work.” He is right again when he say ives to use the pat- vonage at bis disposal for a personal or party purpose, it results practically in farming it oat bed members of Congress;” and it is partly true t, “* Rumning down the scale of honor and importance of places, we tind everywhere among self-seeking men the same eagerness to use the power they have to perpetuate their tenure of offi life. Sycophancy, adulation bribery, and all the rest of the loathsome c: logue of political vices, thicken as we descenil, till we reach the ‘rough,’ doing the ballot-stuf- fing or the ecurbstone fighting for his party.” Most readers will agree with him in his con- demnation of party assessments on salaries. In fact, #0 far as the abuses under the present sys- tem are concerned, be states nothing new in regard to them. They have been taiked about and written about for years, and every body seems agreed in condemuing them. It is only when the question of a remedy for them comes up, that the conflict of opinion begins. Now = Is the ex-Seerctary’s remedy. He “It iy to apply to the civil service, completely and thoroughly, the plam principles of common business administration; to separate the public cthiees, atwolutely and forever. from all favorit. sm, nepotism. and “intluence,” to deciare pat- opage i all its forms to be an‘i-republican and angerous to the State; to find and practice © & principle of selection for office which ball give every citizen of the country a cotly equal chance to prove hiscapacity and fit- for the public service; and to obtain a post. init when be has made the proot, with herongh Independence of President, Secratary. er Tes-maw, and simply and solely because of hte eltizenship and his fitness. Te is further, to adopt in the permanent civil service a tenure ct office during good behavior, with the hope of <pg to the highest prades of the routine ser- ‘ce by industry and strict devotion to duty. in briet, the principle to be adopted is admission to the civil service only upon the results of « competitive examination open to all, and dis. mission only upen ascertained failure of capacity or character.” Now all this sounds well, but is it practica- et Can he or any other man or any set of men carry it out’. Howis he going to separate the public offees trom all favoritism, nepotism and influence? He says by competitive exami- wations. Where could he find examining boards clear of favoritiam? The members of such boards would be dependent on some would have their friends—and thus favoritism and influence might prevail, even in affecting the result of @ competitive examination. And \f he undertakes to give every citizen who proves his fitness for office a position, where will he tind places for them all? If mot, then how will be select from those who pass examinations? Will not favoritism, nepotism and inflaence have another chance then’ If the miller’srule. “inst come, first served” is to prevail, then how will the rash for offices be lessened? These eueries might be extended; but the above will suffice to show that the Ex-Secre- tary’s remedy is at leastopen to criticism. He is candid enough to notice the objection often made, to quote bis own words, “‘by those who bore given the subject # very superficial con- ticyration that the sucessful competitors in these examinations will usually be boys fresh from schoo! or college, and that older and better men wh) have Lecome ‘rusty’ im their school knowledge would f1 bat he fails te satisfac- torily answer it. There is another objection he does not notice, and that is that aman may tail In an examination as to his general attain- ments and yet have a specitic knowledge of the | Search for defects im a | ies he is called upon to perform. which would make him a more ysefa! officer than one ‘ho came out of the ordeal of examination with | flying coiors. Then, too, Mr. Cox ts unfortunate | in ustrating his subject by the remark that “tthe English government has ‘atrealy far out- stripped us in reform, making an accomplished fact of that which we, who boast of our practi- cality, are still hesitating about.” If that isso then the Circumlocution office, the Tite Barna- ——— | cles and the official “who wanted to know, you know,” are all gross caricatures, and the cur- rent movement for civil service reform ia Groat Britain is uncalled for. ‘We make no attack on civil service reform; it is a consummation devoutly to be wished; | but, like revenue reform and other projected reforms, every maa has hie own pet theory, and af he ventilates ithe must expect to have it commented npon, and the more urgent the me- cessity for improvement, the keener will be the y plan which may be submitted for public criticism. That there should be a change in the present system is mot denied, but we e not vet seen any plan which would accomplish practically what it sets forth in theory. It is a subject which should ‘be carefully considered before action is taken, or we may find ourselves even worse off, if that is possible, than we are now. 2ee- The Baltimore Sun, the Baltimore Gazette and the Alexandria Gacette all commence the new year with new suits of clear type, greatly im- Proving their appearance.
