The Merit System in Diplomacy. en spoilsmen, when candid, must ad- mit that the President starts well in the matter of civil service reform. One crit- icism of the reform has been that it ap- plied only to the little places; that the big mained, as before, at the disposal on the bosses’ own terms. inley begins by applying the rit of reform to the highest places: that to say, he makes qualifications for a post superior to the ordinary considera- tions of partisan activity and partisan pop- ularity ‘The selection of Col. Hay for ambassador to Great Britain is a conspicuous instance in point. Col. Hay, while a good republi- can, and vseful to his party in many ways. had no machine at his service. He was neither a boss himself, nor the choice of a boss. The post of ambassador called for a man of experience in state affairs, of discretion and of attractive personal ad- dress. Col. Hay filled this bill completely. He had experience to his credit in the dip- lomatic service, linguistic and other ac- compiishments, and a wide acquaintance with representative men in England. His selection was a distinct triumph for the merit system, most intelligently applied. Porter, who goes to France, is Ike- wise a man of excellent qualifications for his post. He stands as high in the busi- ness as in the political world, and high in both. He speaks French fluently and cor- rectly, and knows the country from fre- quent visits there. He is neither a boss nor the pet of a boss. The merit system won in his case as distinctly as in that of Col. Hay. What other meaning can attach to the ited speculation connecting Gen. ier’s name with the mission to That post promises to be one of most important in the diplomatic ser- ‘Turkey? the vice, and naturally the President wants a firs: in the lass man for it. Mr. Foster stands front rank of American diplomats, much achievement to his individ- credit in that line as any of his con- temporaries. He has represented the coun- try at two European capitals, and, it is would meet all of the require- Constantinople thoroughly and His services to his party but his perfect equip- conceded, ments at ment for important diplomatic work ex- plairs the desire of the President to have him accept office again at this time. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Pr words in favor of civil service reform were assuring, but this affiliation of the spirit of it to the high places at his command is worthy of all and will greatly redound to the jc good. —_—_+ + +___ Trolley om the Navy Yard Bridge. The street car riding public of Washing- ten and Anacostia have no especial interest in the merits of the controversy now in pro- xress between the already existing street zailway company and that which is project- 4 to afford rapid transit between the city and suburb. But one phase of the matter is of deep concern to the people on both sides of the riv It does not appear as yet in the debates before the Commissioners on the subject, but it nas been commented upon by The Star as one of the darger points of the situation. This relates te the means to be employed by the new Ine to cross the Anacostia bridge, whether by the overhead or underground systems or by horses. The act ranting extension of time to the new com- pany is plain as day on this point. It says: “That the motive pewer to be used on the s in this act specified shall be the ground electric system within the cit of Washington and the overhead trolley stem outside the city of Washington. For creasing the Navy Yard bridge the 1d company may, in the discretion of the nmissioners of the District of Columbia, either horse power or the underground electric system to propel its cars; and the said company shall have the privilege of carrying an electric current across the said avy Yard bridge in such manner as the id Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia may prescribe.” withstanding these precise instruc- the company has claimed and the Commissioners have heretofore been in- clined to acknowledge the right to con- tinue the overhead construction to the nerth end of the bridge. If the letter of the law should be ignored much depends upcn the meaning and scope of the phrase, “city of Washington.” Competent author ties have stated that the city limits ex- nd to the further shore of the stream, ud thus the trolley is again prohibited. ‘There is a reason for urging that the bridge be kept clear of the overhead wires. It is toe low to make such an equipment sofe. Leaded wagons crossing the bridge upy nearly the entire clearance space and human life would be seriously endan- gered if a wire heavily charged with elec- tricity were permitted to run along under the roof trusses. Whatever deciston the mmissioners may make in the pending dispute they should insist upon strict obe- dience to the act of extension in this re- gard tions wo soo — One of the advantages in having ft under- stood that District offices are to go to local men is that candidates will not be tempted to disregard the advice of the President and time and money on railway waste travel soe ecretary Gage's disinclination to mingle Chicago polities Indicates his perception { a possibility that his duties in Washing- will leave him very little spare time. see sed that some of the foreign min- city have so far forgotten as to unreservedly echo Mr. d's opinions of America. —————— Mr. Cleveland and Spain. - would prefer to believe that the letter ich appears in print today as written in February by General Gomez to President Cleveland never reached its des- And yet one may easily believe ( it might have done so, and been read are, without making any fmpression person addressed. ‘om first to last in the Ci Cleveland in office was a law unto What the American people at thought of the matter failed to in- him*in the shghtest. The whole as he comprehended it was that Spain was at perfect Hberty to do what she pleased with the Cubans, even to the extent of exterminating them and laying the is- jand completely waste. For the American government to speak, even in the interests of humanity, was a proposition which he refused positively to consider. The case was presented here quite aa strongly as it now appears in this letter of General Gomez. Congress was moved by it, and on the strength of the presentation voted its sympathy with the insurgents. But Mr. Cleveland, with his eyes fixed firmly on the strality laws, refused to take any posi- It is a iste them sin t ation tha wh ont F Mr. himself. ler ft n business tion not openly and positively friendly to Spain. Some of the admirers of Mr. Cleveland who did not applaud his course in the Ha- wallan affair have sometimes sought to ex- cuse his conduct on the score that he was misled by the report of Mr. Blount. They have tried to console themselves with the thought that had the Paramount Commis- stoner performed his duty properly and tn- telligently, and brought back from the Is- lands an altogether fair account of the revolution which had resulted tn deposing the queen, Mr. Cleveland would have shaped his course somewhat accordingly. The theory is thin to the point of trans- parency. All the facts go to show that Mr. Blount carried out the orders of his chief with a reprehensible faithfulness, and simply brought back from Honolulu what he knew the President wanted. But tn the matter of Cuba, Mr. Cleveland would not be advised even by his own per- sonal friends, and, in a certain sense, his own commissioner. General Lee's reports went for nothing with his chief. He found a reign of terror existing in Cuba, and, his friends assert, advised that steps be taken by this government to bring it to an end. It was all to no purpose, however. Mr. Cleveland was for Spain, and nothing could move him. —_++ + -—___ The District Bench. It appears, from the news columns of yesterday's Star, that probably two and perhaps more of the justices of the Dis- trict Supreme Court will soon resign or retire and thus it becomes pertinent to sug- gest to Preside, McKinley that while these positions are nut covered by a local citi- zenship requirement such as governs the Commissicrerships it would be a most proper act for him to fill the vacancies by appointing local men. The District bar is graced by able lawyers who combine with their legal talent the qualities that go to make excellent jurists, men of breadth and judgment, endowed with the requisite ju- dicial temperament. But it is not only a matter of opportunity that presents itself. The item of residence can safely be disre- gard2d when federal judges are being chosen for the territories, but not in the case of the District, where the laws in force ere probably more complex than in any other jurisdiction. The “‘code’’—as yet uncodified—is a mixture of old English, common and statutory law, with a few rem- nants of local enactments adding to the confusion. Local practiticners are famil- iar with the system and so when elevated to the bench they fall naturally into their duties without loss of time. The invaria- ble experience, however, has been that the judges appointed from the states have re- quired months and even years to become familiar with the legal system and have in some cases proven most unsatisfactory interpreters of the laws, reaching the age of retirement before they begin to master the eccentricities of the propositions put to them. Under these circumstances “home rule” is not only desirable, but is practi- cally necessary. ———————— The new tariff proposes to make it ex- pensive to bring to this country the highest achievements in sculpture, painting or literature.

A Coincidence. “The man who brought this in,” remark- ed the editor’s assistant as he unrolled half a yard of manuscript, “told me con- fidentially that he needed the money for it” “Yes,” was the melancholy answer, “it's a strange fact that the longest poems seem almost invariably to be written by the shortest poets.” Hi ited. ’Tis now the office-seeker hears, Wherever he may roam, That sad, significant old tune, “There is no place like home.” Looking Ahead. : “I see that the magazines are arranging to get out some very fancy Easter num- bers,” said she. “Yes,” replied her husband; “and so, I suppose, are the people who write the price tags for spring millinery.” Turning the Tables. “| just hope,” said Mr. Meekton, wearily, “that Henrietta will go right ahead with her new woman ideas.” “She is making pretty rapid progress, isn't she?” “Yes. And I'm looking forward to the time when, maybe, she'll look uneasy and change the conversation when I ask her what she did with the letter I gave her to post.” Candor. “Madam,” said Meandering Mike, “I don’t want yer ter misjudge me, in connection with that proposition of yours, ter saw wood fur me dinner. There ain’t nothin’ thet ‘ud give me more satisfaction than ter bunch myself up alongside o’ that stack o' logs an’ spread sawdust all over the scenery. But I'll have ter make a confes- sion.
