The civil service la ay Very much more vital topic In thts flty than elsewhere. Th.Govern ment to; here' the eat employer.l ahd for the local pojpularKn. the conditions' ot the Government service are of the Ut most 1 port i nee from a brvad nd butter point ofi view. No other question tne tanrr. imance.

foreign reiations ia bait so closely related to the Cause I of good govetmaent. The tax payer, as such, shouldi beirhlereated, 'since! the fx ecutive civil service of thi Government now costs over ilOO.ooo.tJoo a year. It would be no Idle exaggeration to ajay that a buslnerfs llke classified selrvlce on the merit basis would cost the taxpayer not over half what a genuine old fashioned "spoils debauch" would entail. Our present system is about midway be tween the two. The cause iof civil: service 7 reform Is now passlmr! through a critical stake.

This is due a general popular belief that the thing has been oveidonq. so gar as classification la concerned, ahd perhaps unfairly done by the administration of J'residont; Cleveland. Ur fortfcnatejy, It Is true, that in many Instances the list administration turned out old men apd filed the places with its people, sJnd the put the "civil service' roof oyer the reorganized firce. This was particularly true In; the "Government Printing Office. tit may be as a countervailing argument, mat tnis nas Deen tne usual practice with all administrations, sind that in no other way does it seem possl tie for tlvll service reform to get a start.

A history of the reform movement generally supports this position. It a little hard, nevertheless, for the peoble who have been, counted out, by "this process to take it gracefully, and therHn comes the tremendous pressure for the modification or the abolition of a igreajter ofi President Cleveland's latest inclusions. 1 Melon? in Their Claksee. It must be said in Justice' that there are no classes of employes whom Mr. Cleveland put under merit system who do not.

In the nature of things, be long there. Objection to aometimeis urged to having the 12,500 division chiefs! in the "In the classified service. It is saild that thos places fhould be political: but th fact Is that where suoh a place to political, sod where the post Involve Intelligent duties substantial responsibilities, the Gove tinm en under the pld system was oblicad to pay two salaries pne cf $2,00 to the political head of I the dl Is I or, who accepted hfs salary asi a crirorno," and anotner salary of perhaps Ji.fcxi or 12.20 for a deputy or assistant who waa actually competent; to do work. pie Inn It Is, therefore, a little hard to isay jon the nwtt of the question; itself that the inclusion of theee places In the classified service was unwise. The story is.

the same about the examining surgeon) In the employ the Pension Office.

In the pension service, jit to a trying sltiieiion for a medical exiaminer to report diversely upon the application of a friend of the Congressman to whom the examiner owes his position, tndjso the story, might be continued. The principal fight against the present system Is now being made over (the ila borers.

Chairman Prltchard. of the com mitter on civil service reform and ire trnchment has decided to report! favor amy tno Dill or senator Ualilnger. lor rather the amendment to an appropria tlon Mil. excepting laborers from the classified service. have already had some eKppriente In a classiflTi' service of clerks, Vlth.

"Whemonce on the laborer's list, It Is always the: power of the su peril ofllcer to set them, at any kind iof worK ne meases, ana they usually get a ci. sk and the same duties. as the fegulat clertcal force.

i I It became, therefore an outrageous nhuwe. and President Cleveland told the Civil Service Commissioners that Jf they could get up a practical test for actual he would be very glad ik put them on the pame basis with the clerk, eo far as the civil service sysjenj was cfinrijrnrii. It Is to be hoped that the la. br unions of the country will take cog. niznr.ee of the; present attempt to make a illstinctlcn between the clerks and the lar orem.i for there are thousands actual laborers involved, engineers in the Jlnrine Hospital service, the light; house service and the like.
