CONCE NING CIVIL SERVICE. It Has Come to Stay. BO SPOILSMAN CAN EVER AGAIN BE ELECTED PRESIDENT. A reporter of Tar Stan had the following talk with Mr. Henry Strong on the current topic of civil service reform: “Iam told, Mr. Strong, that you have made eomewhat of a study of civil service in this and other countries. If you care in a word to ex- press your conclusions Taz Evenixo Star would be glad to hear them.” “You have not space nor I the time at present to go wuch into history on this subject. It is sufficient to say that in all modern European states where the best government exists, nota- bly in those most advanced and enlightened, civil service is thoroughly established. In England and Frauce, where the government is most sensitive to popular opinion, a change of ministry, as you are aware, is unfelt and un- noticed by the occupants of the desks in the various departments of government. In the most corrupt periods of the Greek and Roman Fepublics civil office was made a reward of tisan revolutionary violence. It is a well- own historical fact that in this country the spoils system was first established about sixty years ago by Gen. Jackson, who, in this Tegard, made no distinction between a Seminole camp and a Federal office. Up to his time political rotation not reach the cleri- eal force in the government service. I had sup- posed until noticing the recent assaults pon it by a few newspa and prominent individuals that all intelligent business men were agreed that civil service. so called, is not merely the rational business theory as applied | to the public clerical service, but that when | generally adopted and firmly established it will eliminate from our politi tem an evil and danger that is uot only essentially corrupting in its iniluence, but which has threatened to become « positive menace to good government. Senator Ingails’ dread of AN ARISTOCRACY OF CLERKS is about as amusing as anything that eloquent | and witty Senator has said. If someone were to propose to the large mercantile house of Job ell & Co. of Chicago that they should cl every four years their immeuse | staff ¢ men, book keepers and clerks, my friend, the senatorial member of that tirm, would regard the suggestion as simply fooliait . His recent reported on civil service are, to say the prise to his most intelligent con- who wppreciate bis high character. tad simply another victim of . Were the spoils system applied, to the railway service of the coun- try it would amount to a public calamity. Ro- tation in clerical service, except dismissal for dereliction or promotion for merit, bus no ex- ver has hadin any successful world. It is positively and thout precedent except im detached political administration, THE YOTE:S OF THE COUNTRY of all parties, except the few who are seeking to obtain office for themselves or their party supporters, are, I venture to say, unanimous iu favor o stituen They eo the rep for examnpl pplcaten of the theory of civil vied to every department of the In avswer to your question about the kind of examin: h applicants for office are ron to which : subjected, I say I timak they could be improved. ‘They are now too much ow the primary school order, uc uited to test the fitness of the app rge well the duties of the office. 38 be remedied by the prs . y ot Mr. Roosevelt and his coufreres.

Kammerer is a popular board of trade man. He thought that ordinary 3 opera tickets were good enough for himself and family, and accordingly dispatched his settling clerk to the box office of the Auditorium sev- eral days ago. The tickets, which called for seats in the family circle, well to the skyward, were purchased. The settling clerk got car- ried away with the opera fever and made up his mind that he would go, too, So last night he appeared in line at the box office re- spl€ndent in evening costume, The line was very long, and when the time for opening the hall arrived the hero of this story was away down toward the end of it,with little prospect that he would get to the ticket windows. Soon after Vice President Morton's party drove up, and the police ordered a breaik in the line to allow the party to pass in. Mrs, Morton, who was encumbered with her wraps, train, &c., and a large bouquet, ped to the sidewalk. ‘Oh, dear,” she exe d, “I wish some one would hold my bouquet.” The rest of the party did not hear the re- mark, but the settlmg clerk did. With Ches- terfieldian grace he tipped his hat and offered his assistance. “Thanks,” murmured Mrs. Mor- ton. The settling clerk tripped lightly by her side bearing the bouquet aloft, and, of course, ome 4 the door keeper without question, own the aisle they sailed until they reached the private box set aside for Mrs, Morton's party. ‘he settling clerk gently ensconced himself in a seat in the box, and during the evening he borrowed Mrs. Morton’s opera glass, with which he might the better see his employer perched in tho upper circle, Heavy Rains in California.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN. ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs, THE STAR bas a very much LARGER nd BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND NG FACILITIES ARE MORE N THR TIMES AS POWER. FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore abie to print each day a full Feport of every transacuion of public tn- terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. 303 By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND MAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the difference of | time in its favor, it is also able to give | its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Kurope, Asha and Africa fur the morning papers. :0:—— Equally does THE STAR tead all ite coutemporaries in Lae publication of the NEWS OF OUK OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its owa office to the general network of teicgraph system touching every city, town and hamiet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive aud print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa- cilic Oceans. @ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILGERS and MORE THAN | BiVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, end nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- | turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. —0: — In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE SLAK does not rely upon empty boasts to imprest the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —:o:— © The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cir culation of the paper was: Equally significant is the showing t= regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication of its acknowledged value as a medium of publicity. Thenumber of NEW AD- VERTISEMENTS printed in the col- umns of The Star during the first six months of the years named was as fole and demonstrate in the plainest manner Possible that THE STAR IS THE RE- COGNIZED CHANNEL OF THIS COM- MUNITY FOR ALL BUSINESS COM> MUDICATIONS
