W. Sliucken. 'I lie "spoils system" was abolished in Givat ritain in 1S.15, ;mil the competitive uzamiuatiuu-life-teutuc system was tub btituted. The ceniietitive examination Hees ever an extensive iialJ, and usually iucluiii'a v.uiety of matters which have no rel.it inn whatever te the duties of the office te which the caudidate is te be appeiuttd if he .succet.sfully passes it. It requires a great deal of costly preparation, if the examination is te be teally a com petitive one, aud the particular qualities that will btaiid the candidate most in baud are a great deal of f-elf-ceufidenee in the language- of the United States, "chfei-k'' and ye-jd meiueiy ; bat in order te induce the candidates te enter upon a real competition the chances of success beim? always mere or less in the uattiic et a gamble it is uecessaiy t eiler a sutlieient inducement Hence, in Great Uritain, the pioiuNe of lite appoint ment te ihose who succeed. Aud thi-. is the aim of the Ameiiciii civil service- le le fermcrs, te establish iu these United States a system of life tenures, with all that that implivs ; and the Pendleton bill is the lir.-.t step in that diicctien el the final accomplishment ei this object-.

Frem my standpoint of view, it U simply an amazing tiling that any considerable body of Ameiicaus ate ready for :ucli a change as this. I sh.'.li i.ew piticet'i te give ou the, praeticd side el the qt:o-:ttei:, as exhib ited by the actual results iu Great Biitain.

Te this end let us take the aveiage an ntial expenditUie i the kingdom during the thiity eaiKbel.v.'ii mid inuluiliug the jeius lblil 1630, as lepic-entiug the inelli ciency and the wastefulness of the ''spoils" system, aud the thirty years between and including tke years lSel-1880as jeprcsent ii-i the eiliciency and economy of. the eonipetitive-esamiuatiea-hold-your efllse dining geed behavior sy.-tern.

New, I de net mea i te say that all this vast el iff rer.ce is du - U liiechauge iu tlu tlu mede of reconstituting the civil seiviee that took place iu 1853, hut the coinci dence as t j time and circumstances is ce. tainly tee matked aud suiprising net l have a distinct lelat'enship te that ciiaug-; and that a very large pai t of the great d'H feieticc was due te the ehature admits of no sort of doubt whatever. Our own e-v pciience under the "spoils" system, when contrasted with the British expjiioace under theirge-as you please aftcr-yeu get in o-efiice system confirms this. Between 1807 and 1881 the actual payments out of the British exehecquer ler tiie eidin iry expeiiditmcs mounted up from $:i:l 000, 000 in the fei mer year te 110, 000, 000 in the latter, while the actual piymcnts out. of the United States treasury for the erdinaiy expenditures ran down fmra S.'i57,00"e,000 in 1807 te $201,000,000 in 1881, an inciease in the ene instance of $33,000 -000 and a cccieasc in the ether of $87,000, 000. The British have every reason te be thankful that under their goas-yeu please after yeu-gct into officesystcm,theiraffairs are no worse than they arc ; but I am willing te admit, at the fame time, that, uuder our system, we ought te have done distinctly better ; and 1 de net doubt that we would have done better if the civil sei vice were net stagnated by tee long continuance in the same hands. Jehn Neblo, in his well-known volume en Britih fiscal legislaten between 1812 and 1803, tries te account for the extraor dinary enlargement of the public expend i -tmes after 1833 by attributing them te the inlluenee of the Russian war. That war, he says, beget in the government, de partmeuts a spiiit of extravagance which had involved the country iu what he calls " enormous and profligate expenditures." If it really was the influence of the Rus sian war that beget the spirit of extrava gance in the government departments eemplained of by Mr. Neble, the influence of that war has certainly developed a sui prising tenacity and extension, for the " profligate and enormous expenditures" have gene en at an accelerating pace, till the Londen 2'imes, within three weeks, has been moved te say, in contrasting the expendituies of 1841 with theso of 1892, that there has been an increase out of all proportion te the increase of population, and commends this " pregnant fact " te the " attention of statesmru, irrespective of party." And suiely the competitive system ought te show some influence in promoting public economy semen lieic ; but it fails, for while the local expendi ture for the United States, state and municipal, lias net in the last ten years increased in a proportion beyond the in crease of population, the growth, of local expenditure in Great Britain has been largely in excess, and while the local indebtedness of the United States has been increased in ten years less that thirty per cent., the increase in the local debts of Great Britain in ten yeais has been nearly seventy per cent. Are these differences accidental only ? Ne man of sense will say se. But if we admit them te be such, it is geed politics te stick te the accidents that cost the least money. But they are net accidental, and if you will recall that outside of the fixed charges of government there is net a dollar of the civil expenditure which is net both contracted and paid by the civil service, you will see the significance of at least a very large part of the increased expense of the British public establish ment. "Where there is no responsibility there is no economy, and the fatal defect of the Euglish competitive examination system is that there is no responsibility te the public en the part of its individual members. la the absence of peisenal te-spc:i-.ibility that careful sup.iivisien of outlay which, iu public lite no less than in piivate life, is necessary te limit expendi ture within the nairewist bounds, is net likely te be' very efficiently exercised. Under the " spoils "' system, en the con trary, the personal lcspensibility of each individual member of the servle is a part of the general responsibility of the whole service. Under our " spoils " system the civil service is constantly in tee eye of the public, and this constant public OVi'r sight undoubtedly operates in restraint of extravagance. Theio is no doubt about it. Tim Cost et Cellecii'ii; the Keveniie. But coming down fieiu generals te particulars, I will show you in detail the economy of the spoils system ever the competitive examination-go as you-please atter-yeu-get into olliee system which the Pendleton bill is intended te inaugurate in these United States. Te this end I in vite your attention t two bureaus of the civil service of the United Stales and of Gicat Britain resp.iecively, se precisely alike in their functions and methods that it is easy te institute a perfectly fair com cem com paiiseu between them. These two bu icausare these for the collection of the customs aud the internal ic venues.

These are iniineu.se figmes, but the ellicia! lrceid- bear witness te their truth. Even this, however, is net all. Air. Chat les Tenant, is his "People's Blue He ik." says that some of the custom houses in England and he instances the custom house at Manchester as ene of them aie supported by the piivate oea-ti'bu-ions of citizens ; astjlc of conduct ing an establishment of that kind net known iu this country. Of ceurse custom house expenses met iu this way de net appear iu the public accounts New, if I "bad time te go en, and you had patience te listen, I might institute further comparisons te show the greater efficiency aud economy of our " spoils " establishment. I might de this conclu sively as te our postellice service. But the actual fact is that, under the patent j competitive exammatiou-geas-you-pleaso-after yeu-gct iute office system of Great Britain, which is that of the Pendleton bill, it takes at least four and prebabiy five officials te de the same work that s done by three Americans brought into office under our " spoils " system. The explanation is very simple. TLe "spoils" in America arc usually appor tioned among the mere active and ener getic meu of the party in power. This is the necessity of the system and it could net exist otherwise. Usually these are men net rnly of mere thau ordinary ac tivity and eucigy, but they ara men fully up te the standard of intelligence- and geueral business capacity required in the public seiviee. On the etlur hand, under the competitive examina tion go -as you-please system, the success ful candidate is he who can best command his memory, and wiie has self-possession sufficient te stand the struggle with the examiner. Once in office, lie is safe for life, aud need net worry about public economy. And just in the proportion that you diminish the individual efficiency of the members of a public service, just in that propeition you make necessity for additional nmmbers of persons te de the same work. This is what is the matter with, the British civil service at this very moment. An c.TClianKe says : "Han's average life is 33 years." Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup will always live. Tliemas McElwec, Alt.
