THE PREsrDKNr s1HcERxL9 IN HARVEST.
Gen HAwley, Of the Hartford Courdnt, In an
article on the civil service question, says;
1t is nearly two years since the the edltor or
the Ooigdnf, in conversation with Gen Grant,
discussing the civil service, rehearsed in success
sion some Of the objections to the more prom
inent features Of the new system, such 40 ngid
competitive examinations, the life tenure, ETC.,
and found the President answering the objections
readily, and earnestly advocating At least some
change. For example, the editor said he did
not like to think OF q body OF forty or nifty
Thousand civil officers appointed praeticauy tor
life. They might grow into well-drllled, COM
pact political army the obedient partisan ser
vants Of the Executive, and in. emergencies the
dangerous enemies of liberty The Pres
ident replied that the very fact that these officers
we're appointed to serve during good behavior,
with tolerable certainty OF competent salary
and possibly pension in old age, and would not
be either appointed or removed to help person
al and merely partisan purposes, would make
them less mischievous than at present; they
would be less likely to mingle desperately IN
the fight He specially instanced the army and
navy They embrace large bodies of able and
weli-educated men in the service for life, and
assured Of what is virtually pension in old age.
| The result has been that army and navy othcers
| make il point of honor to reconize with pro-
found respect whomever they may ind at the
| head of the nation or Of any State, Of Whatever
party; they vote if they choose, and are entirely
free in their opinions but are not active in pol
| itics; and they cultivate high sense Of honor
/ in all their duties and lAbors. The country has
| no bodies of servants Of such uniform fidelity
and integrity The graduates Of West Point
and Annapolis showed 3 larger proportion Of
loyal men than any other class Of public servants.
The President argued that something Of the
same gSod results might reasonably be hoped
for under well devised system OF civil service.
| He is no new convert That he is in dead
earnest now in his purpose to reform the civil
| service there need be no doubt"
