SATURDAY
DECEMBER 18, 1897
ITS RECORD FOR TWELVE YEARS
In Ihe house Tuesday ir. Barrett,
Republican, of Massachusetts, de
clared that the civil service law was
a Republican measure, passed by Re
publican votes, and that the party
was irrevocably committed to the
policy of civil service reform.
Proof of this statement is found In
the national platform of that party.
'The civil service law was placed on
the stitute book by the Republican
party," declared the platform of 1896,
w hich has always sustained it, and
we renew our repeated declarations
that it shall be thoroughly and hon
estly enforced and extended where
ever practicable."
Yet in tht face of that declaration,
says the Spokesman-Review, Repub
lican spoilsmen are asserting upon
the floor of the house of . representa
tives that it never was the intention
to extend the civil service beyond a
narrow and inefficient range.
The people will not be gulled.
.They well know the motive which
spurs the spoilsmen on in their fierce
attack on civil service reform. The
fight is made by spoils politicians
like Senator Wilson, who care noth
- ing for party principle or party dec
larations. If they can break down
the civil service, they will be able to
appease in part the angry clamor of
' supporters whom they have deceived
with promises of place. Hence their
active onslaught upon the law.
The government, according to the
resolution which passed ' the senate
yesterday, will spend $250,000 in
. sending food to the miners at Daw
son City. It seems generally con
ceded that this is the proper thing to
do, yet in the end it would have
proved cheaper to have subsidized
the steamship companies that worked
tip the rush of last snmmer, and thus
kept the adventurers at home. Next
winter will have" a sorrier tale to tell
than this. Through the , strenuous
advertising and urging of the steam
ship companies, aided by the agents
of the various railroads leading to
the coasts, an immense crowd of peo
pie will probably, be in Alaska by
the end of the summer. Many of
them are improvident by nature,
. and the force of circumstances Jwill
hinder proper preparation. Scattered
along the frozen valleys of Alaska,
they will be objects of pity when
winter's leck is put upon the coun
try. But the transportation compa
nies will have made their money out
of it, andthe government forced to
' again step in and aid. Not all that
glitters Is gold, especially along the
banks of the Klondike.
Astoria is taking up a contribution
to advertise that town in the East.
It is expected several thousand dol
lars will be expended in this way.
The plan of flooding the country
with printed matter has been tried
at various times by all the Oregon
towns with indifferent success. The
Dalles has had its turn and will prob
ably be sailed upon again. The
best way to attract attention is to do
something which will be noticed
among the class of men whose con
sideration is worth having. If this
town were to have a woolen mill es
tablished in it, it would be the best
advertisement it could obtin. Just
as the woolen factory at Pendleton
has pushed that place forward, so it
would at . The Dalles, only in larger
degree, for our advantages are so
manifestly more than Pendleton's
that the results would be greater.
This is the age of young men.
Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, who
yesterday was appointed comptroller
of the currency is but thirty-two
years of oge, having been born in
1865. It is an index of how time
is flying when one thinks that a child
born since the surrender . at Appo
matox and after. Lincoln was assas
sinated, should hare time to mature
and succeed to one of the most Im
portant offices under the administra
tion. The beginning of the century
will see the country run by men to
whom the great civil strife is but a
memory. - -
Senator Wolcott, the head of the
monetary commission, recently sent
to Europe in the interests of interna
tional bimetallism, hopes "soon to
make a statement concerning the
work of the commission." It will
be easier for the senatar to relate
what was not done than to point but
what was accomplished. His state
ment will have a considerably nega
tive character.
