Judge Watts and the Civil Service Reform

Judge Watts, of Carlisle, who ID the
new Commissioner of Agriculture. does
not entertain a parcel of finely spun
theories on Civil Service Reform, but has
shown himself to be quite practical in the
service. He does not waste time in the
efforts to unite the knot he cuts it. He
does not intend to use his department for
the furtherance of political ends, but for
the furtherance of agriculture. for which
it was established. He is resolved not to
remove or appoint single one of those
under him on political grounds. Quail
fication and merit alone will govern him
in his removals and appointments. 1t is
said that he accepted the position only
when President Grant promised that the
Agricultural Bureau should so be gov
erned. That sounds like practical Civil
Service Reform"
