4 “THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON: THURSDAY THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and Dermanent circulation iu Washington three Himes larger than that of any ether paper im the city, As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. —— The President's direction to the heads of de- partments to keep an efficiency recor] as a test of merited -promotion and the rescinding of the rule requiring compulsory examinations for promotion will give profound satisfaction to the clerks, who constitute a valuable and valued element of the capital's population. From the firet Tae Sran has fought the absurd compulsory examinations rule, with its con- eealed examination-for-dismissal attachment. If anything else than vigilant observation of @ clerk's work from day to day is necessary for the intelligent exercise of. the power of removal for inefficiency, then snitabie exam- imations avowediy for that parpose should be established. They shou! not be mixed up with examinations for promotion. If the same Vigilant observation of the actual work of elerk as exhibited in an efficiency record, open to his inspection, is insufficient to indicate in all cases the question of the clerk most desery- ing of promotion, the examination for this purpose should be voluntary und competitive, | participated in only by those who are ambi- tious and hopeful of advancement. ‘To compel all of a grade, on pain of possible dismissal for failure, to prepare themselves for a promotion ‘examination, in which a great majority of the clerks know in advance there is no prospect of a promotion for them, is a cruelty to the clerks and a tremendous waste of time and money to the government. The merit system With the accompanying reasonably stable tenure of office for the deserving is not only of ines- timable value in increasing the efficiency of the government service, and elevating the public conscience above the spoils idea of the subor- dinate government offices; it is of special and notable local importance in the development of ‘Washington as a city of permanent homes. The intelligent. well-behaved and deserving subor- dinate clerk is not kero in employment one week, and elsewhere in search of a job the next, merely because Obio or @ certain way at an election in the interval. Both for the general and the local reason Washington is firm in its support of the merit system, and of course no one at all concerned in the advancement of its interests would as- sault that system for the benefit of the spoils- men. The merit system and the movement for the reform of the civil service in general must, however, be reasonable and consistent. The compulsory promotions role was neither rea- sonable nor consistent with the spirit of civil service reform. The President has done wisely to rescind it. ———o-+-2—____—_ The ladies who met at Mra. Logan's residence yesterday grappled determivediy with a gr domestic problem. Under the old condi of society as it existed where there were many colored persons in hotschold service there was small solicitude in regard to training for the work in band. The well trained for and more exalted condition of freedom has Drought about a change, and as there is now a larger relative number of young girls who try to be cooks, laurdresses, seamstresses, house maids and the like then formerly with no such opportunities for learning how to discharge their duties it seems to be desirable to estab- Kish special schools for their instruction. The aovement here embraces a number of well- Known ladies ai cial work and seems likely to be crowned with the same success that similar movements have achieved in New York, Chicago, Norfolk and other cities, The central idea is to begin early and be self-sidful after the start. The indus trial school wili perhaps open in January next with funds and other aids suiticient for the pur- pose. In six months Mrs. Logan thinks the in- stitation will be self-supporting. The exty will watch with much interest the experiment, and will hope for and will doubtless coutribute ——+-+-—__ The Speaker has a difficult task before him, bat it is not so hard us it would have been if the last House had been democratic. In a word, be can in some degree take a fresh start now, aud as he is himself southern he may safely lean the way the numbers in his party caucus ran—that is, to the north and west in his appointments. The Speaker is a man of decision and energy and may be expected to stady the whole ficid carefully and to act promptly, having bis own views as to the par- ticular qualifications of members and the neces- sities of the sijuation, but listening to advice from responsible advisers whom he may call to his assistance. The peculiar composition of the House calls for the exercise of great good judg- ment and tact on the part of the Speaker, and his party friends are as solicitous as the gen- eral public are curious to know how the duty of organization of the committees is to be dis- charged, confidence in the man not being isicompatible with solicitude in the event. = = —__— ‘The National Bar Association, composed of delegates from the various bar associations of the states, now in scesion in this city, camo into being in Washington in the spring of 1888. Its primary purpose is to secure unjform legisia- tion aud practice on a variety of important subjects. The purpésesand the personnel of this body of professional men give ita high standing. There is obvious need of special ef- fort to devise means for harmonizing the now chaotic laws prevailing in the several common- wealths composing cur Union on ike subjects of marriage, divorce, the execution of wills, the forms of conveyancing, the powers of non- resident executors and administrators, ete. A body of learned and progressive men, moving enthusinstically toward a desired end, can bring much inflaence to bear upon the legisia- tures of the various states, which, as a rule, would bave nothing to gain by obstructing a Feform of this sort so earnestly urged by the best class of their constituents. —+ Why should the dynamiter be able to obtain dynamite with which to do his infernal work, or, to change the form of expression, why should not the manufacture and sale of the explosive be so regulate? as to keep it out of the hands of irresponsible persons? That isa question of some signiiicance in the light of Fecent everts. — + The gathering enthusicem for Blaine is such tha: he will soun be in a position to write sl must any sort of a farewell letter that he chooses ani still Le in a position to gracefully yield his Position in response to an absolute popular de- mand. ———— It ig by no means remarkabis that the Sena- tors aud members should prefer to have the Presiden:'s message compactly before them the evening newspaper to spending two hours imattention to the mechanical elocutionary methods of aclerk It was evident from the ‘appearance of things that the majority of Cou- @ressmen took that view of the matter. ——_s +e ‘The p-oposi @ociation to meet permanently in this city is ope that deserves the approval it has com-| manded.
