fiver since the beginning of ti agitation for the reform of the civil service the service has been its n.cdel. if we could bring the civil service up to the level of the military service, including the naval service, we should be sure of a igh-minded class of public servants, capable of meeting al'. r.ew exigencies as they arose, including even the exigency of im perialism, of remote foreign possessions upon the government of which American public opinion could not be brought to bear.

i 3 Is i i i (THE EXCHANGE BANK We have once more, the war with Spain, had great cause to be proud of the officers of the army and the navy. Every intelligent and disinterested citizen feels that if we were as sure of the civil service as we are of the military service we could "go forth to rceet the future without fear and with a manly heart." But it is just at this time that it is brought to our notice that the politicians not only have no intention of improving the civil service, but that they have an intention of degrading the military service to its level, and this at the very time when it is proposed to quadruple the size of the army. Mr. Bonaparte takes Secretary Alger as the embodiment of the spirit which seeks degrade the army. His remarks may perhaps, to those who have not duly considered the question, seem unduly severe.

In fact, they are circumspect and well considered. If we are to open a'l the new commissions to be bestowed in the army to "patronage," the result will be appalling. It will be worse than and the usual number of attorneys in attendance. I. A.

Not one of the bills before congress for the enlargement of the army contains any safegnard against the abuse of patronage. Of course, nobody expected any such safeguard in the official bill of the war department. What political future or present has the secretary of war, except through the abuse of patronage? But such a safeguard is almost equally conspicuous by its ab-senae from the bill favored by Gen. Miles. If it be thought necessary to provide patronage in order to lubricate the passage of a bill for the enlargement of the army through congress, it is certain that a measure prepared and passed under such auspices will reflect not credit but disgrace upon the country.
