4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TUESDAY. .-Decemper 3, 1889. ee Hew York Office Room 93, Tribune Building, ——————<_<_———<—_—_—__ The Fifty-first Congress has four notable labors in general legislation to perform or at- tempt: First, to settle the tariff question; second, to make some provision for silver which shall give it place in our coinage; third, to remedy the obvious defects in our civil service system and put it upon a basis which will in- sure the permanence of its feature of merit ap- Pointments as opposed to spoils-sharing; and fourth, to decide definitely what is to be done about the world’s fair to give it the dignity of @ national and not s local enterprise. The tariff struggle will bea warm one and will present the unasual spectacle of the repub- licans figuring as the proponents of a reformed system and the democrats endeavoring to de- featit. The democrats will, however, undoubt- edly meet thoir enemies with a bill of their own, offered bya minority of the ways and Means committee of the House as a substitute for the majority bill. ‘This will give the coun- try at large something definite on which to ex- press its choice at the next electioa—the alter- native of two proposals, instead of a plan of some sort on one side and no pian at all on the other, Tariff revision the people seem pretty well resolved to have. The only difference of opinion ison what lines the changes shall be made, and that will range the two great parties on opposite sides, Over the silver question there will doubt'ess be some fighting sbout methods, als>, but party distinctions will be ignored on the gen- eral issue. The silver men are determined to have legislation of one sort or another. If they cannot get free coinage, they express a willing- ness to take the next best thing; but they will sift the opposition till they have found some measure which they can pass and which the President can be induced to approve. Mean- while, in the forthcoming report of the Secre- tary of the Treasury, the offer will be made of © compromise plan, which has received the ap- proval of many conservative eastern capital- ists, but is nevertheless believed to be accept- able to a majority of the friends of silver in the west. It is hoped, by having such a scheme emanate from the administration and by hav ng it contain on its face from this facta practical pledge of the President's willingness to see it erystalized into law, to reduce the debate and its acrimonious incidentals to a minimum. The civil service question has become espe- cially conspicuous of late. The course of the new Congress in respect to it will be watched with interest, for it means renewed life and in- creased vigor or an ignominious death to the merit system. The comparative strength of public sentiment and of the partisan, political instinct will be tested. An effort will be made by the commission to obtain better appropria- tions, on the ground that those which are given ‘at present hamper the work more than they help it; for the commission is held to account for not doing its full duty, when it has done everything its scant supply of money will ena- ble it to do, Onthe question of where the world’s fair shall be held and what Congress shall do to promote its success, no comment is needed. Readers of Taz Stam have been kept fully in- formed of the arguments pro and con, the con- fiiet of interests and tho alternate ebb and flow of popular sentiment in various directions, The logic of the discussion is all on the side of the national capital as the site and the national government as the sole party concerned. That Congress will take this view seems the most natural thing to expect. ee The President of the United States, who is also in effect the governor of the District of Columbia and the mayor of the City of Wash- ington, in conveying to Congress information concerning the condition of the Union does not forget, in attention to important national affairs, the little community to which he stands in this close and peculiar relation. He lays before the national Congress, the District's only legislature, with his endorse- ment recommendations for the local welfare from the Commissioners and from certain cabi- net officers, He emphasizes the Postmaster General's representation of the pressing neces- sity for new quarters to accommodate the Post Office department and the city post office, and of the latter he says: ‘The building used by the city office never was fit for the purpose and is now inadequate and unwholesome.” In trans- mitting the report of the Commissioners he calls attention to their suggestions and says: “The interests of the people of the District of Columbia should not be lost sight of in the ire for consideration of measures affect- the whole country. Having no legislature of its own, either municipal or general. its peo- ple must look to Congress for the regulation of all concerns that, in the states, are the subject of local control. Our whole people have an interest that the national capital should be made attractive and beautiful, and above all that its repute for social order should be well maintained. ‘Ihe laws regulating the sale of intoxicating drinks in the District should be revised with a view to bringing the traffic under stringent limitations and control.” The District will hope that Congress may take the same intelligent interest in the affairs of the local community, intrusted to their care, which the President displays, — The number of employes in the clas- sified civil service of the United States has about doubled since the passage of the act creating it in 1833, and these 28,000 Persons thus employed receive half the com- pensation paid to all government officers and servitors. The increasing importance of the reform then instituted may be seen at @ glance. In their annual report the com- mission dispose of the bugaboo which the dis- Ingenuous employ to sustain their attitude of Opposition to the law in the claim that the examinations are too technical and scholastic end that quizzes are submitted in the exami- mation papers in order to obfuscate the epplicant and reduce the number of persons eligible for appointment. The com- mission establish that only the most elementary knowledge is required, except where the examination is for a specialist, asa chemist @ an astronomer, and that it is not the boys fresh from school or college who pass the examinations and receive the appoint- ments but the full-grown men, the average ap- pointes being twenty-eight years of age. They contend vigorously that their questions are relevant and practical, and tend to show satis- factorily the fituess or unfitness of the appli- cantto fill the position which he seeks, and that the really irrelevant tes? of fitness is to inquire what party or what political faction the @andidate has supported in the last election. oo ‘The President places himself squarely upon wecord in regard to the threats of a re- peal of the civil service law. He recom- mends in his message that the ad- ditional clerks for which the commission ask be provided, and adds: “It will be my pleasure, as it is my duty, to see that the law ig executed with firmuess and impartiality. ff some of its provisions have been fraud- gently evaded by appointing Fesentment should not suggest the repeal of the law, but reform in its administration. We should have one view of the matter, and hold it with a sincerity that is not affected by the con- sideration that the party to which we belong is flor the time in power.” Evidently the President intends neither to take nor to countenance any backward step in ‘this reform. $$$ ‘The relic hunter is usually a nuisance. When be chips the Washington monument or steals ‘the lava tips of the Goddess of Liberty's gus burner at the Capitol he is more than « nui-~ ‘ance, He is a resurrected vandal and should be treated as such if found.
