‘The bait a ® A Passed yesterday by the Senate, placing ations between customers, ora larger charge tor a short than for a long dis- ‘ance message, and requires minute reports to be made of the financial and other affairs of any company in Tesponse to a demand from the com- mission, There is much in the act to commend it to public favor after some Fecent experience the country has had with telegraph companies. A year ago the Western ‘Union and the Baitimore and ohio were ones Sor business, and rates to points where trade was Plentiful and rivairy sharp were very low, walle ‘those to other points, often nearer, were raised Proportionally in order to make good the average ‘Mmeome of both corporations. Thus, the rates from a to Sew York or to Chicago bore no Of ratio to those chargea for messages to Places between this city and either of the ethers named, although on the direct route. | ‘This war was carried to such lengths that @% last the stronger company swallowed the weaker, and then the public lost the| Dene of their competition utterly, without sec- tng any improvement in the matter of dispropor- ‘Won between distance of service and height of Yariff. A distinction is made in the new act in favor of government and press messages as con- ‘wasted with the ordinary commercial sort; but ‘the advantages of news associations over special correspondents will apparently be done away ‘With by it if 1 becomes a law. Although in ‘the Senate there was not even a five min- Utes debate on the passage of the measure, the lateness of the date at which It 4s introduced, taken together with the fact that, by its own ‘terms, it is to go into operation on the 1st of No- ‘Vomber next, makes it extremely doubtful whether 4 will get through the House in its present shape. ‘The telegraph companies may be expected to re- ‘ist Its progress in committee when !t reaches the Other end of the Capitol. ‘They will object, just as the railway companies did in the case of the Reagan Dill, to the “long and short haul” clause, Om the ground that the expense of a short Service is proportionately greater than that Of @ long one. fice rent and the pay of| operators rum on continually in villages | ‘Where the average of telegraphic business | Js five messages a day, just as they do in cities ‘Where the average is a thousand, and the propor- ‘tion of outlay to income is much greater. But this is an argument which the reformers will meet | ‘With the reminder that the act does not call for @ lower rate for short than for long distancea, but } ‘only for @ rate not higher. In all probabiilty | either this Dill, or one yet more stringent in its Provisions, will be passed by both houses in the | course of a few years; for the only alternative the Public seem willing to grant fs the entire absorp- ‘tion of the telegraph business of the country by ‘the government. —_—- In an appreciative editorial conceruing the work (Of the Civil-Service Commission as indicated in its recent report, Harper's Weekly says: “The | question of examination for promotion is elab- | oravely considered. Its object is well stated | to be tne exclusion of unitt persons from the posst- Bility of promotion, and the reduction of the effects | finfluence to a minimum. The argument tor | compulsory examination and for certification of | ‘the whole eiigibie list is presented at length, with | ‘Mr. Lyman’s dissent from the latter provision. Practically, a8 a method of weeding out incompe- | tency from a service where it Is largely filled by Incompetency, compulsion may be desirable. But 4m a properly appointed service tt does not follow ‘that @ man Is unfit for a lower place because he ts Bot qualified for a higher of the same general Bind.” The mild criticisw of this comment upon @ompulsory exauinations for promotion by an up- swerving friend of civil-service reform indicates ‘that not all civil-service reformers are bind to the Mogical and absurd character of such examina- fiona, The evil to be remedied by the establish- ment of an examining system was that of unjust Promotions, due to“importunate solicitations and evercive influence from the outside and prejudice, favoritism or corruption on the partof the ap- pointing officer.” The civil-service rule framed to Meet the diMficulty called for “examinations of a character to test the fitness of persons for promo- don,” and authorized the commission to make yegulations providing these examinations for pro- motion. In pretended conformity with this diree- on the commission prepared what are officially styled “Regulations for promotion,” but by making compulsory the examinations provided, and by causing failure to attain a certain percent- age in them to become ground of discharge from. Public service or of reduction in grade, the com- anfssion framed under a tnisleading title regulations for dismissal, as well as for promotion. Ambition and miscellaneous information were imputed to every clerk, each was compelled to compete for ‘promotion, and the examination to test Mtness for ‘the duties of another ciass than une one oecupted ‘Was made @ part of the test of fitness to hold ‘the office of which the practical duties were already pocreditabiy performed that the clerk was not, it ust be assumed, liable to disclarge for ineMlency. Tt 18 BOF astonishing, In view of the facts, that Harper's Weekly admits that the only practical @xeuse for compulsory examinations for promo- ‘tion ts “the weeding out of incompetency.” which | an ap4 ought to be weeded out without them, and with which asa ground of dismissal regula. ‘Mons concerning promotion have nothing to do; @f that the same paper feels bound to protest against the illozical assumption “that a man is | ‘unfit for a lower place because he ts not qualified | for a higher place of the same general kind.” | ‘One man has gone to his death without receiving his dues. His name was Landgraf, and he was | hanged yesterday at St. Loutyon the same gallows | with Maxwell. He was only a vulgar murderer— acommon fellow whocommitted a common crime; ‘who had bo weil-to-do friends to stand by him: no expensive counsel to fight his case step by step | ‘rough all the courts where it belonged and others | ‘where it did not, and stave off the final accounting | for three years; no foreign minister to interpose at the last moment in Dis behalf; and no strangers (terested enough in his personality to shower | Aim with flowers and other favors. Undera sys | Yem whieb aims to dispense equal Justice to all men, either Landgraf ought vo have received just a3 much attention and enjoyed just as many ad- ‘Yantages in his attempt to escape the extreme Penalty of the law as Maxwell did, or else Max- ‘Well’s advantages ought to have been limited to ‘those enjoyed by Landgraf. No fair mind would Degrudge a man the chance to make a fut for his life When accused of a capital ¢ but the dis. ‘tribution of favors and of opportunities for escape should be made with greater unpartiality. ‘The Eastern Branch bridge is to be built and the Failroad and the Uaited States will settle later ‘what proportion shali be paid by the road of the expense of the changes made for its benefit. This @ecision wili please tue city, and ‘especially East ‘Washington, as the bridge is needed for mmediate ‘Gee; Wpt it cannot be deaied that patriotic citizens feel a trifle apprenensive at tue existence ot an outstanding difference between the nation and ‘the railroad and at the Indication of a desire on ‘the part of the government that the road ‘shall actually pay out mouey.
