A Correspondent' Irtoa of slow to fteforsn tba ClvU Borvaao. To Uie Editor of The Inter Oreao. Chicago, Fab. So fag aa abUlty and honesty Bud personal courtesy of pnblio aervanu go, tho civil aerrico: ot tba United State will donbtlea compare favorably with that ot any government oa earth. But if It be tru that th departments at Washing-ton ara really asylums tor comparative imbecllea and decayed politicians, aa many aeem to think, atiii, that la a matter of a mail co naequenca so ua II th imbecllea hava only aena enough to faithfully perform th Blender duty required ot them by tha nature of their employment.

An Imbecile with aense enougn to do hla duty, which, perchance, may constat lu writing an indorsement of the date of receipt on tbe back of letters or tbe addressee on circular en velope, is apt to be quite removed from the danger of a temptation to be dishonest or to neglect hla work, ilenca the Idea ot applying competitive examination aa a means ot aelecting candidate for th Imbecile asylums, aa the Chineae have done, la not likely to be enthusiastically advocated la tola country. A newspaper man. who. It ia Bald, found himself a candidate la a competitive exam TL6 ination for a department place, waa asked bow far th Ban is from tbe earth, and resiled, tor lack ot a better anawer, that it waa probably not near enough to Interfere with the proper dincherjre of hla duties it appointed. This man would doabilce have bad aense enough to do tha work required of tbb or ooKaagsaicKx.

The idea that it ia subversive ot good government for the President of the United Btatea to ask member of Congreaa who ar area aarambled aa Washington front all parts of the United State tor Information as to tba character and Btnesa ot applicant for appointment, la ementially absurd. The member of Congress from the particular helphborhood la. likely to be th man la Washington best qnalined to know aad to be able to advia th President In that particu lar matter. To deprive the President of the privilege 01 using tbls natural aouroe of Information would oompel him to resort to a ua of tbe postmater tor example, lor hia Information. The Idea ot making' all appointments to the civil service for life, or during good behavior, wpnld likely result in making public servant aa arrogant aa hotel eierka ara said to be.

let these ideaa, aa Ton will admit, constitute tha atock in trade of tha civil service reformer, so far as developed. To a candid mind it would aeem that tha present theory of appointment to tha civil Bervice ts very nearly a tight one. and would be quite satisfactory it it were not for One single evil But then tbia one alnple evil la a tremendous one. It ia ot an outrageon character in that it operates to prevent th people from having a free choice ol their in Congreaa, aa well aa other othcers. According to tha beautiful theory of our representative form ot government, me people 01 a langreasionai aiatrict are anpposed to choose from all the men tn tbe a 1st not the one man they pretax to rapraaant them.

But in fact, instead of bavins; ail these men to choose from, th voter finds hla choice usually limited to two, and of the two one is of different political from hlmaelf, so that It ho exerciaea any choice it muat at A bacrotci or em tabtt BsxrtTa. In short, it a voter baa any atrong party feeling or political bias, he baa abaolutelv no choice, but must vote for the one candidate offered to him, or refrain front voting; at all. And if he la beard to grumble at this, he ta lnaolently asked, "11 you don't like It, why don't you attend tha primaries, and try to nominate a man that will suit youf We all know, however, that attending primaries ia cold comfort. At tha primary you will find the bos. The boas manage the primary.

The primary man-aves the convention. The convention nominates the candidate. You may then take it or lehve It. The bosa ia frreat. Tha neorila ar email.

But who ia the boas, and whence cornea hla power? It you oould examine th boas oloaely, von would find that he Is the captain ot a devoted Dand of political highwaymen; hia first lieutenant ia probably tbe collector of the port; hia subordinate officer are the naval officer, the surveyor ot customs, the collector of internal revenue, and the postmaster; tbe rank ana flie will be found to constat ot the custom clerks, rangers and inspector, the postal clerks, and tha letter carrier. These men are not inmate of tho imbecile asylum at Washlng-toa by any means. If they were they would be harm-leas. Ko. they are active and energetic politicians, every one of them, and they live, here at borne, la our They mAnag the primaries and WORK FOB THB BOSS.

If you- oould examine atll! closer, you, would fincTthat the rank and file the letter carriers and clerk" do not work for the bosa becao they love him, but because they ar obliged to. They will ioae their heads if they refuse This ta an evil In our civil service system that cries out for reform. Now it the lieutenant oould only feel tree of obligation to the boss captain, then; the rank and 111 would be free, and th primitriea would be open to again. It aeems to me that the simplest way to reach the desired result would be to paa law transferring- ail the collector, naval officers, surveyor, and poatmastera from city to city, so that not one of them shall live In the district from which be was originally appointed. Let them be appointed aa of a certain grade, but not to a certain place, ana then let them be assigned to duty as the good ot the service requires.

Perhaps this would engender an esprit du corps among these officers which would keep them out of the primaries aad the dirty work, as they would be stranger to tha resident bosa and nnder no obligations to him.
