IT is bad enough 10 hear that the Civi
Service Commission has broken up, but
still more discouragiDg to understand thai
it will not DO reorganized. Nor are the
circumstances of It's dissolution in any
way creditable 10 President Grant, il
view Of his frequent and open pledges o.
sympathy in the reforms to institute
which the Commission was formed. II
seems that George William Curtis so long
and faithfully Grants powerful friend and
ally, was the first to withdraw from the
Commission, the reason assigned in Ills
resignation being that the President has
ignored the Civil Service rules in several
important appointments. 1t will not an
swer TO claim that the politicians persuad.
cd the President against his better judg-
ment to make these appointments, Tor
some OF them were so bad that even the
politicians counseled against them and
no one favored them except the President
and those that got the Ofllces.-Akron
