It's sad commentary on the

IHrStllE THE CIVIL PillRTIlF.,
"To the victors belong the spoils"
at common! cins'rued is fatal to
the best outcome of a popular gov
ernment. We would respectfully
refer those who endorse the senti
ment to the principle run to seed ii
our Le2'aatnra- M w advocated
the principle we woald have to ap
prove pie-prabbicg. Civil service
reform is a method coofi.ieJ to no
particular party, but advocated by
those opposed to the spoils system.
It is to be regretted that there seems
to be a decided sentiment in favor of
doing away with and of repealing
the civil service lair.
Whatever may be its ijok of prr
fdcuon (for it is yet practically iu its
infancy) there is a noble principle at
the bottom of it and it should be
perfected but njt rep.-aled. The
spoils system we believe gives rise to
more political corruption than any
one thing. How unnecessary to
sweep out good and satisfactory
officers becauae they are not ia hir.
mony with the political party in
power, though they have no power
to shapj the policy cf government,
and how unseemly to give ofliceto
one with little to commend him, but
that be is of the party in power.
It seems a veritable going back and
a voluntary return to the lower order
of political virtue from which we
thought we were ascending.
It is objected to as being a life
tenure in ofliee. If that is a valid
objection, it Cia be remedied by a
limit to the term. It need not be
repealed on that account.
We need not turn tip our nuseg at
the stench of pie grabbers as long as
we advocate tbe repeal of tha civil
eeryice law.
It is cot a wonder tint those who
are politicians for the sake of get
ting themselves and their pirty in o
power should cbafa under the civil
service law, but for one wh wants
that party in power that would
promote the highest good of his
home land to desire the repeal of
the law and throw wide open the
flood gates of party spoliation stems
incompatible with sincerity.
