THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTO ‘WEDNESDAY CROSBY Ss. NOYES WHE EVENING STAK bas the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, Advertising Medium is worth all the other papers published in One lesson of the last few years is that spoils do not strengthen a party. No matter under what administration, whether republican or Gemocratic, the result has been precisely the sume—the “ins” have been hurt in the popular elections, The distribution of the offices as spoiis isa dangerous thing. The principle of the spoils system carried out logically is, that if the offices are «poils to be given all ina lump to @ particular party, they are spoils open to all in that party, and just as the spoils-hunting party in power at the time is offended if a member of the opposition gets a small place, so each indi- vidual spoilsman is mortally affronted if he is passed over and another chosen. The princi- ple when applied to petty places is an abuse of the representative democratic idea, That it should defeat itself is both logical and a just retribution. The principle that commends itself to the most thoughtful part of the public is the principle that the government is the peo- ple’s and should be administered according to the methods of sound policy and common sense business methods, That means the merit sys- tem of nominating and electing the best men in the parties for the real offices andappointing through the civil service machinery the best men for subordinate positions. The Methodist Board of Bishops have most cordially approved the plan of a great Metho- dist university at Washington and suggested that an endowment of at least two millions of dollars and suitable buildings in addition should be provided before the institution is put into execution. The resolutions also commend the spirit of the friends of the university in this city in providing an eligible site. Thus the great movement goes on toward the goal of ultimate success. —__——--<—___ It was a chief, Sir Julian, but not Chief Jus- tice Marshall or any other chief justice who did not say of Washington “first in the hearte of his countrymen,” for Gen.
