CLARK, Notary Public. ——— ir The civil-service commission is directed by the President, it is said, to see that the civil- service law is strictly enforced in the places visited in the tour of inspection through the west and northwest, soon to be made, and vigorous action from the commission is ex- pected. In more cities than one it has become & practice for republicans to stay away from the civil service examinations when the democrats are in charge, and vice versa, on the theory that it would be a waste of time for a mem- ber of the opposition party to attempt to get an office. The commissioners discovered, on their investigation of the Troy post- Office scandal, that the package of ques- tions forwarded thither prior to the recent ex- amination was tampered with in a manner which indicated that the appointees-elect had been given an opportunity to prepare their answers. The evidence on _ this head was so convincing, and the whole affair so obvious a sham, that the examination was annulled and a new one ordered, the papers for which are not be entrusted to strange hi , but te be carried by a mes- senger of the national board of examiners, and not opened until all the applicants are gathered in the hall and ready to begin the test In many minds. douDtless. disclosures like these tend to weaken confidence in the reformed system of civil service appointments. But such a feeling is unfair. The system must not be held responsible for the wrong done in flagrant violation of it, any more than a medi- cine should be condemned as ineffective be- cause a pat’ nt refases to take it. The most hopeful s gn for the reform is the increasing readiness of its friends to probe scandals at any cost and make public the delinquencies of members of both parties without fear or favor. This is a policy which ought to comirand confi- dence—not destroy it. a Somebody has expressed regret that the hundredth anniversary of the birthday of the American flag was allowed to pass without some fitting demonstration. The best demonstration any one can ask for our flag is the fact that it still waves, after a lapse of years which has witnessed the fall or damage of so many others. So Now that Stanley has been heard from again wor ought to be sent him to organize a new tour of explor sion to hunt up Stevens. —— It is significant, in view of the developments in the Cronin cas», that the American Execu- tion company should have chosen Chicago as the place to set itself up in business. Asa new industry, depending on a home market and neighbo.ly encouragement for its start, it seems t> have selectei a promising field. es With all the varieties of trans-Atlantic voy- aging that have been witnessed in this age of Progress, no attempt has yet been made to cross the ocean in a row-boat. There is a physician down in Maine who has a standing offer out to furnish the boat, but nobody thus far has proposed to furn.sh passenger. ———— = The latest novelty in automatic slot devices isaseat for parks and other public places, which folds up on itself, and is opened only by the dropping of a penny through a hole in the back. It is to be put into use in several European cities. It would hardly do for our American parks, however, where the citizen whohas no penny is theoretically quite as welcome as the citizen who has a pocketful of them. What is more needed here is a clock- work attachment to the popular bench which will time the occupation thereof, and, after a proper interval, will nudge the sitter in the ribs to suggest to him that he has been there long enough and ought tolet somebody else have a chance, _ oe The Sunday Herald appeared yesterday in new and handsome dress and increased in size in response to advertising pressure. It loses none of its brightness and news reliability in this permanent change of form, and has addi- tional pages in which to display these quali- ties. Tux Sra is glad to note the evidence of its continued and deserved prosperity. $$$ + The brace of statesmen with surnames that sound alike who have lately acquired fresh Prominence must not be confused. It is Mr. Brice who goes to the head of the democratic party organization and Mr. Bryce who will re- view his actions in a critical monthly. A good way to keep them properly separated in the mind is to remember that Mr. Brice will have an eye to party management and that Mr. Bryce will ask him why he does this and that. $$$ Capt. Paine’s famous yacht ought to apply for a pension like other Volunteers crippled in service. oo ‘The Boston papers tell of the finding of a British penny in an oyster served at a restau- Fant in that city the other day. But why should this be a wonder in our era of Anglo- mania? The oyster was doubtless ambitious to acquire that coppery flavor which distinguishes those members of its race served at the stalls im Covent Garden. It’s English, you know. People who are contemplating a big breach of trust and a summer trip to Canada had bet- ter be lively about it. The new extradition bill has gone to the home government for ratification, and, if it comes back approved, there is little chance for an American swindler this side of an ocean voyage. tory things to permit anything that he may say in the Cronin case to carry with it much weight, unless corroborated. The search for facts cor- roborating his latest confession does not seem to have been at all successful. The evidence THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.C., MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1889. Tury Swamen Ix.
