"a member Of the Civil Service Com.
mission suggests TO lls that our Washing.
ton dispatch stating that tour members Of
the commission drew $500 each, thus far,
which Is at the rate Of fifty dollars n day
Is calculated TO produce an erroneous I'M.
preston. The facts are these; Congress
appropriated $4,000 to defrAy the ex.
penses Of the Commission. -Four Com.
mlssioners were selected from private life,
and three from the departments at Wash.
ington. For compensation Of the former,
the President designated the sum Of 50, 900
each az suitable remuneration for their
services and expenses. No mileage or
incidental expenses are paid 10 Commits.
siOnCrs but they nre at liberty TO draw
$4,000 whenever they please as tho money
Is subject TO their order. Two Commits.
sioners live one thousand miles away
from Washington, and they have already
consumed about three weeks on prellm.
mary work including two spent In going
TO Washington and returning home dur.
Ing recess. Until october each of the four
Commissioners will devote his spnre time
to study the subject of the Civil Service
In all lis bearing. The Commissioners
would have remained longer but for con.
stltutional questions that arose and which
they placed before the President with
request that lle shall submit them 10 the
Attorney General for his decision. In.
der these circumstances II Is hardly Just
TO charge tho Commissioners with having
drawn too large an installment for their
compensation. Congressmens mileage for
