AHE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Lecal Cirealation of any Newspaper in the Weria. and as as Advertising Medium w worth —————————— New York Office Room 93, Tribuns Building, —_—_—_—_—_— __ Bepresentative-clect Simonds enrolled him- self in yesterday's Sran among those who be- lieve that the statesman can devote his time with advantage to the public to nobler uses than the mere peddling of patronage, and that ‘the civil service law should be sustained and extended to accomplish this purpose. The number of national legislators who for one reason or another uphold the existing law is so great, and the public opinion in favor of the general principle of the law is so strong, that no open attack upon it gives promise of success, Consequently the cry has been raised that the methods employed of ascertaining fit- ness under the merit system are ineffective and absurd, and that the law is not so enforced as to accomplish its intention. By this indirect attack alleged infractions of the law are made the excuse for killing it outright. An assault of this nature is, however, the kind which is waged against the reform with the greatest vigor and pertinacity at the present time; and, asa member of the reform league has wisely suggested, it should have been directly and forcibly met atthe recent meeting of that body, even if there had been a necessity to cut out some of the sweeping and ‘unjust denunciations of the republican press and assemblies in order to make room for this reply. To establish that the questions asked to ascertain fitness to Alla particular office are practical and are adapted to accomplish this purpose, and that the law is faithfully and ef- fectively enforced so far as it goes, will do much more to give stability to the existing law and promise of its extension than any amount of whining and unjust deductions from the conceded fact that Tom, Dick and Harry, politicians disappointed in their hope of enjoy- ing the spoils of office, are vociferously hostile to civil service reform and “agin the law.” ‘The public is already convinced that the spoils system has been injurious and degrading. ‘When the conviction has been reached that a practical and not merely a nominal merit sys- tem has been substituted in its place through the adoption of the existing law, the position of the latter will be impregnable. The advo- cates of civil service reform should not ignore this phase of the contest. <9 The debate in the Protestant Episcopal gen- eral convention over the proposed canon of marriage and divorce resulted yesterday in postponing the whole matter for another three years. The section saying that “marriage is prohibited * * * within the degrees of consanguinity and affinity specified in Leviticus, XVIII, 6-13," was stricken out altogether, anda prior section changed so as to forbid that ‘any persons be joined together othe:wise than as God's word doth allow their marriage.” The concluding clause would apparently leave the diseovery of what ‘God's word doth allow” to each individual minister. The clause for- bidding clandestine marriage was stricken out aiso, although a clause which fol- Jowed seemed to put @ limit upon the degree of secresy which may be observed. in providing that “no minister shall solemnize a marriage except in the presence of at least two wit- nesses, himself or the witnesses being perfectly acquainted with both parties.” These de- cisions by the convention indicated the drift of opinion, but the danger of incongruity result- ing from amendments either too sweeping or not sweeping enough appears to have im- pressed the minds of the delegates with the wisdom of avoiding haste. By waiting till 1992 it is believed that the whole church will have time to form its judgments calmly and that the adoption of legislation which shall be #0 conservative and sound as to find almost universal acceptance will be assured. —— The chilling storm outside appeared to have no effect upon the spirit of the delegates to yesterday's conference of the board of promo- tion of the Three Americas Exhibition of 1892. ‘They were all enthusiasm, and the mevting has undoubtediy done much to encourage the efforts to make the world’s fair a national en- terprise, celebrated at the national capital. ‘The representatives of the different sections, assembled here, are as one man in the belief that nowhere else in the republic is there a city which, without prejudice in favor of aaechanical or agricultural or commercial in- terests, and having the same relations with every part of the country and all the pursuits of its peopie, can combine the elements and interests of all so happily; and that nowhere else can the historical features of the celebra- tion be so well developed as in that city where the civilizations of all sections are harmo- niously blended and where the history of the whole republic has been in process of making for the better part of a century. ———— The honors of college life are being showered thick upon the colored race. The senior classes of Harvard and Cornell universities have elected negro oraturs for class day, and Yalg, not to be outdone, has put one upon her football team. In the physical domain, there- fore, as well as the intellectual, the colored un- dergraduate is getting a fair show at the lead- ing civil institutions of learning, even if his chances of a nulitary training at the govern- ment expense are somewhat slim, —$———— The Pennsylvania republican association has been resoluting about and taking a baud in the disposition of local District offices. When these state political associations in their organized capacity meddle with District concerns they sometimes meddle for the public benefit and sometimes for the public injury; but the best course for them to take is to attend strictly to their own proper business, and not to meddle atall oo Our weather observers must have been in- terested to discover that part of yesterday's rain was suow. It is a trifle early in the season, perbaps, for Washington to get her first snow flurry, but as long as its effect was hmited to the bringing out of last winter's overcoats and bore no crop of sleigh-beils and runners we may refuse to regard it as anything more than awarning of something still a long distance away. —— The Le Droit Park fence warriors have not beaten their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, but have substituted for deadly weapons in their encounter rolls of legal parchment with which they be- lakor one another in court And the war wages fariousiy.
