4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: THe EVENING STAR an ae fullest Local Circulation ef any Newspaper tn the Wortd, and as an Advertising Medium te worth mere than all the other papers published in we Mr. Porter has some ideas on civil service reform, and when he gives them full play in the census bureau they are perhaps practical ideas. But when paternal fondness for the bantling he has created, causes him to say that other ad- ministrative systems, of which he has not had so much experience, are bad systems, that have stood for several years and been approved by officials as prominent and as able as himself to Judge—be lays himself open to the charge of ‘acting on prejudiced ideas. Mr. Porter in his statement to the House committee to examine the workings of the civil service, says that he is in favor of selecting appointees by examina- tion, but that examination should not lead to a system of barnacieism, and he claims that the civil service law does lead to the establishment ef suchasystem. He also states that the En- glish system tends in this direction. Mr. Porter gives nothing but assertions to sustain this charge, for his preference for clerks that pass his own examinations over those who have passed the limited examination by the civilservice com- mission, is not proof of anything except his partiality for his own methods. In this he is not singular. Mr. Porter gives the census office ® civil service scheme which works, and he does not like the schemes of others, some of whom at least have had more experience than himself and who are working on general and not special lines. This tendency to specialism in department work leads him to maintain his position in favor of departmental examina- tions, against the testimony of high officers of the government in all of the recent adminis- trations, and the present one of Mr. Harrison. In this opinion he differs widely, it is evident, from the able Secretary of the ‘Treasury, who has said that his department is in better condition than it was ever in before, including some recent improvements. Pursuing the policy of his predecessor, he has made few changes and made them gradually. The departments are manned now by trained clerks as toall the lower grades, and very many of the highest officials have secn years of service. Departmental examinations never produced, while they were in use, altogether such an effective corps of employes. In educa- tion and other respects the clerks who pass the civil service examinations are equal to the best ever appointed. The chances for the appoint- ment of inefficient clerks have been lessened by the system. The civil service law may possibly be im- proved, but it has in the main worked vastly better than the old so-called departmental sys- tem. It provides a general basis of competency —not infallible, but reasonably adapted for the purpose—and is therefore more systematic and workable than any special system providing examinations for each department couid be. Barnacles there may be in the service, but for the most part they got there under a system formerly in vogue and remain because the new system is not yet strong enough to thrust them off, holding onas they do by the strongest Political and personal influence. The tendency — ThE ALAIS ROYAL: Israxts: Ax Cunpnews Cura Here are some of our New Fall Styles: Surah Silk Caps, embroidered.

New Goons Are arriving constantly—eicht of our buyers now in of the new order of things is not to barnacle- ism, but to efficiency, by so much as open com- petition on merit is superior to favoritism, a ‘The House rules are not commonly supposed to be elastic, but when a majority appears on a call of the House and disappears immediately Only to reappear when a second call is made, elasticity may be assumed, as under the old dispensation. Yesterday the democrats were around the Capitol in sufficient numbers to constitute a quorum, and actually did assist in constituting a quotum. But when a quorum would do some good, could be counted if ex- istent, its life suddenly departed to the corri- dors or elsewhere. It was a case of now-you- see-it-and-now-you-don’t. One moment there | were Representatives enough in the hall to consider the Langston-Venable election con- test; the next there weren't by nearly the full strength of the minority Representatives on the floor. This 1s a species of filibustering which a rollicking republican member from | the west invented to circumvent a majority, but the cireumvention was merely momentary. ‘The lard bill, which he opposed, was passed in | > spite of his tactics, and so it is assumed it will be in the present case. neste The financial pulse improves under the con- wervative course pursued by Secretary Win- dom in letting out money in a moment of peril to the mercantile community. His offer to redeem $40,000,000 of 4¢ per cent bonds at par and ac- crued interest to maturity, and his last proposal to pay the interest nine months in advance on 4 per cents, under which, with the interest on the 4 per cents, $24,000,000 will be added to the volume of funds already in circulation, will, to- gether, it is believed, give the necessary relief. a Who is the editor of the Congressional Ercord? Somehody must be, although the | “editor of the Record” has long been held as a Tom Collins whom everybody hears of but no- body sees, for Mr. Kennedy of Ohio insists that he will publish his Quay speech, and yet it per- sistently does not appear. Is there a censor of the Congressional press? Can it be possible that the Hecord is Russianized? {s there a hand. “a mailed hand,” one might say, which holds aloft a muzzle? Is there--what is there? Why is not the Kennedy speech printed when it is his desire that it be put before the public? oo The reciprocity amendment which includes such important itemsas sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides, has passed the Senate, the two objectors on constitutional grounds, Messrs. Edmunds and Evarts, to the contrary notwith- standing. Mr. Aldrich has shown good gen- eralship in bringing the Blaine idea to the front, putting it into practical shape and New York.
