WASHINGTON: Cireulation efany Newspaper in the Worta. end as an Advertising Medium i worth More than allt We Simer Buyers puonmued ir Washington. = —=——— Kew York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, One might infer from the spoilsmen's clamor for sympathy for disappointed applicants for office who have entertained delusive hopes, based merely upon the fact of passing a civil service examination, that there were never any disappointed office seekers who had received encouragement to hope for success under the spoils system. Whatever method of appoint- ment prevails there will be thousands of office seekers for every office to be filled, This fact and the small chance of success to any in- Gividusl in the contention should be Drought clearly to the attention of every possible office seeker and he should also be made to appreciate the disadvantages and drawbacks of that employment by the gov- ernment for which he hopes. The overwhelm- ing rush of office seekers is a source of annoy- ance to the appointing power and of distress tothe multitude of disappointed applicants, and every one, without reference to his views concerning the proper basis for the distribution of offices, would doubtless reduce the evil if he could. But return to the spoils system would not sapply this remedy. The fact that the persons! favor of some politician had become a requisite for success would not deter the average Office seeker as much asthe require- ment of a competitive examination upon his merits, There would be, as there was before under the spoils system, the de- scent upon the capital of a vast multitade of persons who had rendered or thought they had rendered political or personal services to the appointing powers. There would be the game delusive hopes indulged, followed by the same disappointment and distress. There is no baseless encouragement given by success ina civil service examination which would not un- der the spoils system find its counterpart in the deceptive promise or suggestion of support by Congressman or other high official. Just why frail human nature selects the day of peace and good will in which to display its ‘worst phases is not understandable. No Christ- ‘mas passes without its affrays and its murders. Yesterday's criminal record was distinguished by a riot ata Christmas tree gathering in charch at Shawneetown, Ill, in which the brutal instincts even of apart of the church- going element of the population were not re- strained by the sanctities of the day and A free fight in a church, leading citizen nearly killed and other leading citizens in- jured—how thin a veneer at times seems our Christian civilization! And yet it is by the ex- ception that the rule is proven true, The shock of the recoil from these things tests the real ebaracter of modern civilization. Among those who treat the Christmas holiday as merely the occasion for alcoholic exhilaration the ten- dency of the day to breed crime is obvious. But when the mania for disorder on the day of peace and good will attacks achurch con- gregation one can only throw the blame on buman nature, with the deacon’s reflection that The results of the great patriotic exposition at Paris may well inspire our own statesmen aud people, who are preparing for a world’s fair in 1892, with the pride of emulation. The cost of preparation, including the structures erected, was $5,500,000, of which the national government furnished 23,500,000. the Associ tion de Garantie as much more and the munici- pality of Paris $1,500,000. The estimate was a million dollars over what was required, ex- elusive of $490,000 paid in by the sale of priv- ileges. It is estimated that $300,000,000 were spent in the French capital during the exposi- tion, the government alone clearing #12.000,000, or a third more than the cost of the exposition. ‘This array of benetits does not include the rise in the value of property, improved transit and general business impetus due to the holding of the great fair. But the most signal of the blessings conferred was the strengthening of the republican sentiment in the country and the overthrow of Boulangism. ———— + = Boulanger may be tempted to deport him- self to Brazil instead of to Canada, There is obvious danger in such complimentary dis- patches as that sent by the president of the new republic to the brave general. —— eee Brazil's bloodless revolution has hada bloody sequel. Jefferson thought that a little blood- letting now and then was good for the body politic, The true friends of Brazil may well deprecate the further application for the cure of her ills of such an heroic remedy. This extraordinary weather reminds, or should remind, ns that death lurks in May flow- ers that bloom in December. The old saying, “A green Christmas makes s fat graveyard,” is the folk-lore for a fine bit of scientific truth, if the community forget in the enjoyment of a balmy sir those lessons of personal earefulness which are indispensable to physical well-being. + = The death of Charles Mackay, following at Some interval the decease of another popular Seotch poet of the moral and religious school, Horatius Bonar, takes from the English-speak- ing world one of the most notable of the minor spirits of our times. As poet and journalist Mackay’s work has made its impress on the age, and always for gooil. ee The warmest Christmas day in the records of the signal service! Santa Claus made his rounds on s bicycle instead of the customary aleagh, eo With the thermometer above 60 degrees in ‘the shade the people of the greater part of the United States, including the northern tier of states, spent their Christmas out doors, while daisies and pansies were plucked by the roadside, the fugacious black snake glided along the bigh- way in the merry sunshine, the deep-toned frog from the tarn croaked his noisy welcome, and fruit, wheat and grass sprang to greet the warm light as in early summer! Speaker Reed's committee on civil service reform is squarely for the reform. No republi- pene meena map min dto it and no be ponents of the reborn in charge — Tegiiaton on the Greatest party treachery. The republican party sap the reform, passed the fires measure im its favor and has steadily extended its opera- tion. No republican can o the reform and be true to the party.— Phila, Press, The staunch republican newspaper, above ~~ | Rewovar Sare AT TH. MAG RES $12 7TH 8ST. ¥.W.
