S808, Chosny S.NOF =— Bew York Office: Bors 83, ‘Tribune Building, Tie proposition Sor te remeralol the yearly limit upon the eligible list of candidates who have passed the civil service examination and have not been appointed is one which should be considered very carefully. The apparent demand for it on the plea of popular conveni- encé, and the claim made that it is in the in- terests of strict justice, are to be examined on their merits and in conuection with other facts, and the whole question decided for the general good of the serv: There are, doubtless, many ways in which improvements can be effected in the practical working of the merit system, and the fact that there are vastly fewer objections to some criticised feature of it than to the corresponding feature of the spoils sys- tem which it displaces, or the fact that these objections are urged by enemies of the whole merit system who wish to destroy and not to improve, should not prevent the friends of civil service reform from heartily advocating such modifications, no matter by whom suggested, as will increase the chances of an improved public service. No one contends that the civil service law is in every detail the expression of absolute and perfect wisdom so that it cannot be altered in jot or tittle without public injury. Doubtless every advocate of civil service reform sees features of the existing system which in his opinion may be much improved, The outery of spoils men over real or imaginary flaws in the civil service machinery and awkwardnesses in its working furnishes no argument for the destruc- tion of the machinery, which they demand. ‘They must first show that the mischievous system which has been discarded for the new machinery would be an imyrovement, if re- placed. Otherwise their ctamor merely merges into the public requirement: that all good citizens and all pledze-keeping politicians shali unite to improve in every manner possible the merit system, and to extend. its application wherever that is practicable. —<$<$<$ ——__—_ ‘That “collective note” which Germany, Italy and Portugal have sent to Brazil may mean eventually much more than a mere protest against the new republic's naturalization laws, It seems like an angry growl from powers di- rectly interested in having the republic come to grief. i The New York law providing for the punish- ment as manslaughter of culpable negligence resulting in death has been enforced in one of the electric lighting cases, at least: to the ex- tent of securing an indictment of the Brush electric light superintendent, When the man- aging officials of great semi-public corpora tions become convinced that deaths resulting from neglect on the part of the corporations to observe the law and protect the public may land them personally in the penitentiary there will be fewer human sacrifices in our great cities to corporate ereed and lawlessness, — + ‘The heartless swindles Practiced | upon the Austrian peasents who emigrate to this country are Officially disciosed to the State de ment by Minister Grant. The scandal embraces rail- way conductors and the agents and subagenis of rival steamship lines. There is urgent need in this country for new immigration laws as well as a much closer inspection of immigrants, The ease with which the poor andcredulous can be swindied out of all they possess before arriv- ing here makes it the more imperative that the laws now in being should be executed and others passed to insure better resulta, $$$ The dinner this afternoon to thousands of the little poor, given by the various Christmas clubs, is an annual event of the utmost pleas- ure tos large portion of the population. The purpose is one of the best of the charitable plans worked out by our good Samaritans, eo The fact that the provisional government of Brazil has postponed the election by the peo- ple of a permanent government for nearly a Year depresses very uaturally the republican movement in Portugal. The Fonseca adminis- tration made a great mistake in not ordering the elections at an earlier period, both for ite effect at home and abroad. It is not certain that the crowningof the new Braganza, Carlos I, at Lisbon, will contribute to the stability of the Portuguese monarchy. ————— The American historical association enjoy in Washington as a meeting place not ouly a learned co-society of historical specialists and valuable collections of documentary matter illustrative of the topics treated. but also the in- spiration given to such a body of thinkers by the great patriotic and historical memories that cluster around the national capital, $< ‘There is a man in New York who makes his living by waking people up. No effort should be spared w put him on the world’s fair com- mittee, $< a —__ By the time a new Representative learns that the “morning hour” comes in the afternoon and can distinguish between a joiut resolution and a Chinese exclusion bill nis constituents have his successor nominated, = $< The two Dakotas are experiencing the dis- comforts and expenses of beginners in houso keeping. They may be pinched fora time in setting up establishments of their own, but still they do not complain, for they properly view their embarrassments as merely tempo- rary. The representative body suggested to parlia- ment by the native Hiadoos is possibly adapted to Indian wants, but it seems to be rather cum- bersome. There is to be on the basis proposed twelve memb=rs to. million of people, which wonld give — embership of above twenty-five hundred in tue electoral assembly, Out of this Jarge body « smaller one is to be selected, be- side which there is to be an imperial council chosen on the basis of one member for every five millions population, ————— With its hundreds of dead in Paris and its victims elsewhere in Europe and America, La irippe is no joking mutter, From most of our cities comes the story of its ravages—rich and poor suifering alike. The grip is no respecter of persons; age and condition are alike of no Consequence to the insilious intruder. ‘The season thus far hus been so warm and EVENING STAR. |p...
