Editor, THE EVENING STAR bas tne fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the Weria, and as ae Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other payers puviusned Kew York Office Room 93, Tribune Building, een | Tas Stan believes in the merit system, as distinguished from the spoils system, of selecting government employes, and in ao reasonably certain tenure of office for efficient clerks, irrespective of their political views. It believes that the removal of the routine gov- ernment offices from the category of political Spoils is, to the extent to which it has been accomplished, a blessing to the public service and to the public servants, and a local benefit to the national capital. For this reason it wishes total failure to all efforts to cripple the civil service reform principle and to secure the re- peal or non-enforcement of the existing law. While it is thus in hearty sympathy with the purposes of the civil service reform league, it Withholds its assent from many statements made before that body last night by Mr. George William Curtis, which, in its opinion, are mot only unjust and unfair, but tend to advance the cause of the spoilsmen. These statements picture the representative republican press of the re- public and representative republican assem- blies us hostile to the civil service law, Cer- tain foolish and irresponsible newspaper utter- ances are quoted, and Mr. Curtis adds: “Naturally this uniformity of tone in the party journals throughout the union is echoed by party assemblies.” He finds this echo in the hasty and excited fumings of a few disappointed office-seekers. In his newspaper quotations he overlooks entirely the expressions of such rep- resentative papers as the New York Tritune and the Philadelphia Press,and bases his de- ductions upon the views of obscure publications, He considers that the local clubs of Baltimore state the republican position on this subject, and disregards the action of the far more representative gathering of republican clubs in Pennsylvania, He discovers a valuable hint concerning the republican doctrine in the fact that three state conventions have failed tozsay that they are opposed to the repeal of an exist- ing law, and omits entirely all consideration of the declarations on the subject of the con- ventions of Massachusetts, New York and other states. The representation that the party in power is from top to bottom composed of spoilsmen at heart is the claim of the spoils- men themselves. Mr. Curtis gives aid and com- fort tothem in their efforts to repeal the civil service law, He places himself squarely upon their platform, But Mr. Curtis and the spoils- men are both wrong. The public does not be- lieve that the republican press, republican clubs, republican President, and the whole re- publican party are violators of pledges, spoilsmen and corruptionists. The re- liable indications are all to the con- trary. If Mr. Curtis and the spoilsmen were right, and it were true that the demo- cratic party is opposed to civil service reform, and that the republican party is also opposed to the reform, striking it through its President and sustsining him by the approval of his hos- tile acts, the spoils system would of course be restored as the first act of the new Congress, But no one seriously expects such action. Sabato thes. so sctumaesl ante The most important results may follow the meeting of the All-Americas congress this au- tumn. It is probable that, for the present, they will be general rather than specific. The gathering is a Congress, not a treaty-making convention. Representatives of the several in- dependent American states will simply get together and talk over the relations between their goveruments—the need of a more friendly understanding, of better harbor regulation, of improved extradition laws, of arbitration as a substitute for war in the settlement of disputes, and of some system of reciprécity whereby each state shall open to imports from any other American state a more hospitable market than to the products of all the world beside, The conclusions reached in this conference are necessarily not final. They must be submit- ted to the treaty-making and law-making powers at home; but they will have the effect of mak- ing @ start and of giving substance to ascheme which has been little better than a dream here- tofore, The closer acquaintance which ripens out of this meeting will doubtless have the effect, also, of moderating the little bitterness of feeling that hassprung up between the United States and one or two other American governments, as, for example, in the case of Mexico, where there still rankles a sense of ill treatment owing to the shabby course of our American Congress toward the Grant treaty of commerce. If the Fifty-first Congress should celebrate the occasion by enacting, early in its career, the legislation necessary to carry that treaty into effect it would undoubtedly produce a happy influence on the tone of the interna- tional conference. oo If the Commissioners of the District are con- vineed that every one of their subordinates is honest, efficient and worthy of retention they will of course in pursuance of the civil service reform principle and of the wise policy which has sought to give to the District a non-parti- san or balanced local government. make no changes in the local offices, unless im a few in- stances it may seem advisable to correct the effects of the use by their predecessors of the local government as a democratic machine by replacing capable republican employes dis- charged solely to make room for democrats, If, however, any of the Commissioners’ subor- dinates, whether high or low in the ranks, are not performing their duties intelligently, faith- fally and satisfactorily, it is as much the duty of the Commissioners to fill their places at once with better menas it is to retain those against whom no complaint can be made. The local public will not sustain any attack upon the Commissiouers based upon their disregard of « selfish demand that they make a clean political sweep of the offices at their disposal; but it may not be impossible to balance more equally the representation of the two parties in the District offices by appointing some re- publican residents of intelligence and integrity, and at the same time to benefit the public by giving to it better men in places whose duties are not now performed entirely to the public satisfaction. —$<————— oe The most edifying spectacle of modern times will be Governor Hill talking Spanish. and Mayor Grant talking Portuguese to the All- Americas delegates on the boat between West Point and New York city. In another column is published an appeal from Grand Haven, Mich., for relief for the sufferers from the great fire in that city. In accordance with the suggestion of Commis- sioner Douglass, to whom the appeal was ad- dressed, Tux Stax will gladly receive, acknowl- edge and forward subscriptions from citizens for this charitable purpose. ———— Persons who have wondered why the nihilists wage so vindictive personal warfare against the present czar of Russia will cease to marvel when they read the statement in arecent news- Peper letter from St Petersburg that his majesty is taking lessons on the cornet. ———— Will any of the electrical experts protest against the substitution of electricity for steam ig running the machinery for macerating defanct Treasury notes?
