Warr Hernos, Cashier EVENING Stak Newspaper Co, Subserited and sworn to before me this third day of March, A.D. 1890. Joux T. C. Coane, Notary Public. “The Post does not charge that the existing condition of things. as mearthed by the pend- ing investigation, shocking as it is, is of so hemous a nature as to demand a peremptory repeal of the law, although the tree is generally to be judged by ite fruits.” — Washingion Post. It is this sort of attack by insinuation which ‘Tue Stax has considered to be unjust and in- jurious to the merit system, threatening the in- terests of the public service and the nation, snd with them the interests of the clerks and people of Washington. Such comment is hardly to be expected from the recently announced civil service reformers of a superior kind, and lately avowed friends of the merit system, who are prosecuting an investigation of the Commissioners, It emacks rather of the spoilsman in disguise,who cannot drop the habit of twisting all things imto weapons against the merit system. The iusinuation of such comment is to the effect that abuses and evasions of the merit system ere fruits of that system, for which the law es- tablishing that system is responsible, and that such abuses, if of sufficiently heinous a nature, would justify a demand for a per- emptory repeal of the law. The attack is upon the law and the system, and not upon the abuses; for if the better enforcement of the law were desired violations would suggest a strengthening of the law, and not iis repeal. Nothing has been developed in the investi- gation which affords the slightest justi- fication for an attack, direct or indirect, upon the merit system or the civil-service law, And very little of interest bas been elicited G STAR. |= Peer Or Fasnroxpox ‘ad ERRY'S.

This t con- gress of American republics is a notable event, even if but little ould result immediately from its deliberations, The remote conse- nees cannot fail to be beneficial, The items which there have been or will be agreement ure intercommunication, a customs union, pat- . extradition treaties, sanitary regulations, cod some others. As to coinage there will hardly be an agreement reached, because the Latin Americas are in favor of unlimited coin- age and the United States membership on the committee is equally divided, Mr. Estee, of California, being in favor of unrestricted silver coinage, and Mr. Coolidge, of Massachu: being opposed. The most debated subject be- fore the conference bas been that of a customs union. More and longer sessions of the com- mittee devoted to its consideration have been held than of any other in the Congress. The countries represented on this great committee are the United States, Mexico, Brazil, the Ar- gentine Republic, Colombia, Chili. Venezucla and Nicaragua, The difficulty in agreeing to | a report is due to the eival interests of the na- tions concerned, The Spanish American gov- ernments derive their revenues from taxing im- ports and exports, They levy duties on all we send them, while we admit tree 80 per cent of what we get from them. rtain articles, such «four, provisions, clothing, petroleum ‘and lumber, which those conutries do not produce, they are willing to admit duty free or for large reductions if we, in return, admit free their sagar aud carpet wool. The United member, Mr. Henderson, is willing to co: free sugar but not iree wool. Some sort of compromise will probably be effected, $< + Attention is called tothe fact that the pro- fected railroad down the backbone of the hemi- sphere is the only proposition adopted by the conference without amendment, The promi- nenee given to the scheme by the special friends of the Secretary of State indicates that Mr. Blaine is warmly enlisted in behalf of the great project and the probabilities are that, whether the idea of subsidies for steamship lines can be carried into operation or not, the railroad will solve te a large extent the problem of intercommunication. Of conrse this railway aloug the Cordilleras and Andes would develop the Latin Ameriess more than anything thet has been devised. But it would extend our trade relations, increasing the mar- hets for our goods and bringing to us the pro- ducts of far away democracies—the guano of Yeru, the gutta percha of the Amazon, the coffee of Maracaibo and innumerable articles from every country south of the galt, a ent The people at the antipedes are ating it hot | this winter, Austr thermometer going up | to 101 im the shade and 147 im the sun.
