A MosT IMPORTANT BILL.-On Thursday
Mr.. Jenckes, of Rhode Island, reported,
from the Committee on Retrenchment a bill
. to regulate the civil service of the United
State and promote its efficiency" This is
no doubt the same bill introduced by him
during the last session. 1t proposes to strike
at the root of official incompetency and cor
raption, by taking all subordinate offices
entirely out of politics. 1t provides for a
system of competitive examinations for the
different branches and grades of the civil
service all vacancies to be filled in order OF
merit by those who have passed these exam
nations; promotions to he made in the same
way All subordinate officials to hold office
during good behavior, and only to be remov-
ed after regular examination into the
charges made against them. In short, it
proposes to make political service no longer
claim for office, but to apply only the
Jeffersonian test, - Is he honest; is be pa
ble " We do not hesitate to say that this
bill is of more Importance than any before
Congress If passed, it will annually save
the nation millions upon millions which are
now lost through wasteful. dishonest and
incompetent public servants; and will place
the public business in the hands of the best
men that can be bad instead of the very
worst, as is now frequently the case. But
this is only small portion of the good it will
do. 1t will check the tide of corruption
which is now rolling over the Republic, and
do more to purify politics and give us good
legislation than any measure which has yet
been proposed in Congress. 1t is too much
to hope that this bill will be passed, unless
popular attention is called to the subject, and
the people demand it of their representatives.
and we hope that the press throughout the
United States, without distinction OF party,
will give it their support There is nothing
partisan in the measure and 1t appeals to
every man who values good government and
wishes the perpetuity Of our Institutions
S T. Times.
