All the expenses of this office are met by fees paid exclusively by local property owners, and it would be impossible to conceive of any official! whose functions and maintenance are more purely local. The newspapers have noted that two or three more or less distinguishe citizens of Ohio are slated for the office of marshal of the District, though no suggestion is given concerning the Ohio marshalship which, In just com- pensation, is to be bestowed upon some citizen of the District of Columbia. The marshal is our loca! sheriff, is paid from local fees and performs local functions. ‘The duties of both these offices would nat- urally be best performed by residents of the District. The local sources of com- pensation renders equitable a local ap- pointment. The republican platform declares that “all the federal officers appointed for the territories should be selected from bona fide residents thereof.” This platform pledge will doubtless be as scrupulously ob- served in spirit and letter as those which relate to the tariff and the currency. Al- together the Ohio movement upon the Dis- trict marshalship may perhaps be viewed as an inadvertence, attributable to the ex- eltement and confusion which have neces- sarily attended the parceiling out among themselves by the 12,000 Ohio candidates of the smaller but entire number of avail- able federal offices. The republic is proud and happy to have its President from Ohio; also its Secretary of State from the same great, productive and aspiring common- wealth. But there may be a disposition in this quarter or that to question the wis- dom and propriety of following the Ohio pre: edent in the case of the other federal both small and great. —___ <+2 —__ ine-Stimulated Record Breakers. close of the recent six-day bi » New York The Star took occasion © comment on the extraordinary smashing of records and to discuss the probable ele- ments entering into this apparent progre: toward pertection in physical and mech lopment.

The now an opportunity to show to the country the real value of their scheme of government. They are in full possession of a sove 1 state, and the eyes of all the people are fixed upon them. Kansas is theirs to make or to break, and upon the result much of im- portance to themselves and to others de- s. A representative man of their faith occupies the governor's chair, a majority of the »sing controls both branches of the legislature, and the chief justice of the highest court in the state subscribes fully to their political views. Here are all the means for bringing about such local re- forms as they have long contended fer, and the country will expect these reforms to be instituted, and will watch for the resulting benefits long promised to flow from them. It is said of most men that responsibility sobers them; that they soon discover the difference between preclamation and™ per- formance, that it is difficult to write stump speeches into law. But this saying the populists have often derided. They have declared that it 1s never used except to excuse a betrayal of the people's interests. Presumably therefore the Kansas brethren will not use it, but will faithfully live up in office to the very letter of the promise which helped to put. them into office. ‘They. must, to be consistent and ‘fair, act upon the claim that they were as-sober when seeking responsibility as they now are when that responsibility 1s upon them. It is true that during the campaign the Kansas brethren did promise and vow a good deal in the name of populism. If they make but half of it good, that interesting commonwealth will now blossom as the rose. Life will be safer, living better, in- vestments more profitable, than ever be- fore in the state’s history. The people, having thrown off both the republican and the democratic yoke, are now in possession of their own, and may be depended upon to look out for themselves to advantage in every way. Nor in case of success will the reward be only local. If the popuiist program can be applied to advantage in the case of Kan- sas, why not in the case of the whole country? Those who prove themselves faithful and successful over a few things may, even in politics, promise themselves the good fortune to be set over many. The fervent Gov. Leedy, by trimming his lux- urient literary style a little, and by mak- ing headway in his present place, may promise himself some consideration for a higher place four years hence. But the Kansas test of populism must in every way be thorough and genuine. There must be no “sobering up” in office. The populist who sobers up, like the woman who hesitates, is lost. ——_>+e—___. Civil Service Reform. A reference to civil service reform in Governor Black's first message to the New York legislature is attracting a good deal of attention in the Empire State. There is a locai law in operation fashioned after the rational civil service law, and it is unac- ceptable to a good many of Mr. Platt's lieutenants. Governor Black seems to have joined them. The law is not openly fiouted. It is even praised within limits, but the Proposition, shrewdly stated, is to hamper end burden it with regulations calculated to defeat its successful operations. The plan would leave matters very much as the besses desire them, and, if applied, would soon fill up the public service after the old approved spoils fashion. Criticism of the civil service law, really designed to break it down, varies very liitle from any quarter. The first complaint always is that the examinations are too technical; that information is demanded from applicants which has no bearing on the places they desire. This is not true. The line of examination may not be perfect in any case, but it is never very wide of the mark. The purpose is to bring it to bear as closely as possible on the particular branch of service for which the person is applying. Another point made is that, instead of only the three highest names, the whole eligible list should be certified, sc that the official needing assistance may have that much wider scope of selection. This would open the way to any number of abuses, and restore in a very large measure the old system of favoritism. The highest excellence in examination would no longer be an object, but merely the getting of any plac? on the eligible list. Then would fol- low the old scheme of organizing a “pull” for use on the official first applying for assistance. Friends of the civil service law have never claimed perfection for it. The results cbtained Have been most gratifying, but even greater results are possible. But these can only come from such changes in the regulations as are suggested by their opera- tions and are made by those seeking to strengthen the law. Certainly improvement in the law cannot be hoped for from those whose suggestions on the subject plainly show that their object is to lower its bar- riers dnd let in persons to places on the easy terms of a slip-shod examination and favoritism in the mode of selection. It is not unlikely that these words now heard at Albany may be taken up by some national politicians here in the spring. ‘There will be a great pressure for places, a good m:any of which are now covered by the civit service law. 1t would be just as well therefore fer friends of the law to be on their guard against any attacks on it in Congress or elsewhere. See Canvas screens were being put in place today in some of the windows on the aye- nue front of the city post office building. It is barely possibie that they were in- tended to shield the 3ix men at work on the construction either from the blasts of winter or from the public gaze. —— 0 2 Spain has been highly successful in post- poning anything lke arbitration until she had every assurance that she could not possibly succeed in warfare. > o> —___ If Maj.

I am informed that they haven't spoken to each other for weeks.” “Beginnin’ at de bottom o’ de ladder an’ wu'kin’ up,” said Uncle Eben, “am er good ving ter do oncet er twicet.”But dah’s some dat make de mistake er doin’ nuffin’ but dat, ovuh an’ ovuh ag’in.” Reliable. “Did I hear you remark that that young wan was unreliable?" said the business man. “Yes.” “You do him an injustice.” “He has disappoiated us a number of times.”” “That's true, but he's not unreliable. ‘Whenever he makes a promise you can be perfectly sure that he is not going to do anything of the kind.” Slippery Weather.

Foree of Hal “It is wonderful to see the progress that the Indians have made,” remarked the philanthropist. “Yes, the schools have done a great deal toward making them sympathize with American institutions,” replied the young man. “I am told that some of them have n learned to play foot ball.” ‘M-—yes. I once took part in a game against some Indian boys. They did very well on the whole, but we did have some trouble to keep them from ringing in toma- hawks on us.” Longing. * ¢ When skies o’erhead are threatening gr@y, And all the world is white below; When breezes join in gusty play, : Tossing the eddies to and fro; When bells that deck the pawing steed, Lift up their rollicking refrain, I wish the years would backward speed; I long to be a boy again.
