A NEW APPLICATION OF CIVIL
SERVICE PRINCIPLES.
The secretary of the navy has deternv
mea on applying a plan 01 civil service
reform in the appointment of foremen
X . i
anu muster raecnanics in tne various
navy yards under his control that will
meet with the approval of every man
who is not a politician merely for what
there is in it. He has made a beginning
with the yard at New York and ordered
that after June first all positions of fore
men and master mechanics shall be de
clared vacant. A board of examiners
has been appointed to test the practical
qualifications of candidates for the vacant
positions, enquire into their antecedent
reputation, character 'and habits and
certify to the secretary who are best
fitted to fill the vacancies. Other yards
ill 1 T . . 1 . .
win oe aeau wnn in a similar manner
' in the near future. This Is surely a step
in the right direction. The doctrine
that "to the victor belongs the spoils" iB
the curse of American politics. When
there is a change of administration the
first half of a president's term is em
ployed "turning the rascals out" and
putting a new set of rascals in. The
question of , fitness, of character, of
capacity, is secondary to that of political
affiliations. In this respect there is
scarcely any preceptible difference, be
tween the two great parties. With
either in power the janitor as well as the
postmaster must be of the same political
strip. TheTe8ultis a hungry horde of
office seekers who take interest in poll
tics not from motives of patriotism, but
for the spoils of office. - Destroy this
latter incentive by a vigorous civil service
reform and the business of . the mere
politician would be practically . ruined
and this is a calamity that . the country
could . possibly brook with . great
equinimity..v!'t .;:i.i;i.H .
.. r 1 . . ...
v.ie mgui last wees a soiaier ana a
gambler had some trouble in a low dive
in the city of Walla Walla, when the
gambler drew, a pistol and shot , the
soldier inflicting a fatal wound. The
gambler was promptly arrested. .- The
next night a number of soldiers broke in
to the jail and taking out the prisoner
filled hfm with bullets. No attempt had
oeen made to remove the gambler or
prevent a prompt trial or adequate pun
ishment, nor, it is alleged, was there the
slightest sentiment in the gambler's
lavor among the respectable portion of
tne community nor the semblance of an
attempt to screen the crime. The
gambler was simply detained to await
the result of the soldier's injury. , Under
the circumstances the lynching was
wholly unjustifiable and ought to be
severely punished.
The Wateo Observer, referring to an ar
ticle in the paper urging the importance
of a railroad from this city to Grants'
-which would not only serve as a portage
but would practically control the traffic
of Sherman county, says:
We are glad to copv the - foregoing
words of good cheer from the Chron
icle and heartily endorse the ideas put
forth by the writer. The farmers and
business men of Sherman county 1 will
hail with delight the building of a" port
age road that will tap this section. - All
will anxiously await the result of a sur
vey and should the road become an ac
complished fact we confidently predict
that it "will be a financial success.
The beet-sugar industry on the Pacific
coast promises to become important to
both farmer, and manufacturer. Isaac
Hicht, president of the Alameda sugar
company, reports an income of $100:per
acre from 1320 acres in beets, while $25
per acre is considered good for wheat
land. , .
A level-headed exchange . well . says :
Rudini, .. J)'Arco and the remainder : of
their compatriots who are demanding a
change in American laws had better not
be too insistent.- We might oblige them
by framing an exclusion act which
would effectually prevent the further
entrance of the Mafia into this country.
With wheat worth one dollar a bushel
in the Willamette valley, salmon worth
one dollar apiece on the Columbia, and
a fine fruit season promised, the organizer-of
the farmers' alliance clubs may
have up hill work in Oregon. Low prices
and scarcity aid political freaks. If
Kansas had half of the prosperity that
Oregon enjoys such freaks as Pefter and
Jerry Simpson would be unheard of out
side the circle around the stove in the
Tillage grocery. Astorian. ,
Pennsylvania has appropriated $30,
for the world's fair.
Do not Count tbe Cast.
' Walla Walla Union.
It is a1 waste of time to inquire into the
recent tragedies in Walla Walla, their
effect on the future is of more concern.
To estimate that effect 'it is proper to
look coldly upon the facts.
Two men met in a low saloon, at a ate
hour of the night, and entered - into' an
argument, which' became so heated that
one of them shot the other, inflicting a
mortal wound. The shooter was in
stantly arrested and locked in jail.
Two nights afterwards an attempt was
made by the comrades of the wounded
man to take the shooter from the officers
and inflict summary punishment on
him. The next night, il being the third
night after the shooting, his comrades
made a concerted, well-planned raid on
the county jail, which was so successful
that they "forced an entrance into that
institution, and, taking from it the man
who shot his comrade, they riddled his
body with bullets.
Stated in the worst possible light, the
first shooting was murder in the heat of
passion.
Stated in the mildest form, the sec
ond shooting was a cold blooded murder,
without one redeeming feature, of a de
fenseless prisoner bv an armed body of
men perpetrated deliberately, in accord
ance with a plan carefully elaborated in
all its details.
The Union has no words of defense for
the gambler, who shot while inflamed by
passion and liquor. The criminal
records of Walla Walla bear evidence
that he would have lieen awarded a fair
and impartial trial and been properly
punished.
Nor is it within the power of the Union
to frame sentences expressive of its con
demnation of the deliberate murder by
the mob . H ad the cri me been committed
by the old time vigilante organization, it
wouia not nave been so dastardlv
character, because it would have been
committed by citizens of the county tak
ing the law into their own hands, after
the courts had failed to perform their
duty, and not by men paid by the public
to uphold the laws of the land who m-e-
juagea me action or. tne courts.
W hen such men so far foreet their
sworn duty as to conspire and combine.
not to simply defy the law, but to over
power its officers, and break down the
doors of the public prison, drag out of
nis ceii a cowering murderer and shoot
him to death, it is time to nphold the
majesty of the law bv everv nower that
can De invoked ; time tor all good citizens
to unite in the demand that every re
source known to the civil and military
authorities shall be put forth to ferret
out the ring leaders of the mob and
bring them to merited punishment.- He
who asks less because it will cost money
to DTOSecute the invftfitiVaHnns nrt i.rv

woaid like our local company to make a

and to do so thev must drill without
ceasing from now on. It is not to be ex
pected that all the members , can turn
out every evening, but nothing should
be allowed to prevent a full muster at

Saved a Baby from. Drath.
: Daring a small tenement house fire on
the east side there was ' a thrilling inci
dent that was not chronicled at the time.
It occurred at a rear window in the sec
ond story. The flames had been extin
guished with taining damage, bat the
house was full of smoke.
Suddenly a woman tottered to the open
windows In her arms she held a bundle,
tightly clasped to her bosom, , It was in
white wrappings. - Quickly the crowd of
people in the yard below saw the woman.
Great clouds of smoke whirled about her
head in suffocating- volumes, and the
crowd called upon her to iuma ' ''
She hesitated, bat extended the bundle
at arm's length, from which at that mo
ment there- came a faint cry. . It wan t
baby's voices . " , : .; .
"Save my child!" implored the woman.
., Instantly a blanket was procured and
strong men held its corners.
"Drop ,itr they shouted. . . , ,.
With ner face averted the agonized
ana imperilled mothor let the babv fall.
Down the little one fluttered like a white
winged, wounded bird, with the despair
ing ; cry. of - "Mamma' . noon, it li.
laghtly it struck the blanket, and a mo
ment .later- it. was taken., up safe j and
