WE CANNOT SAY that congress shows oft to advantage In Its annual exhibition of dislike for civil servlco reform. Voting one day, viva voce, to cut out the customary appropriation of the civil service com mission niui then voting the next day, by yens and nays, to reinstate It does not hurt the commission In the slight est elegieo, but simply proves that there are a lot of toon In congtoss who lack tho courage of their convictions. If the civil servlco law n-eds over hauling and revision in the Interest of common sense, so as to do away as far as possible with tho sham and humbug now appaien In ninny in stances ot its operation, tho way to elfect this amendment Is to strike out for II, boldl.. The Ameilcan people are not so fond of being humbugged that they will not appreciate an hon est circrt to protect them. Their ad hesion Is to tho ptinclplcn of a well legulnted chll service which shall In stil e fair play in the making of ap pointments and a buslncs-llko super vision of appointees- they ate not wedded to a paitleular set of details. Civil service reform will not be broueht about by the making of faces at the carlcatui of it which Is In opetatlon at Wash gton today. If congress Is not prej ai id to do any thing mine than act like a peevish boy . In this matter It might bettor not act at all.
