PROTECTION FOR THE EXECUTIVE.
THE NECESSITY OF ESTABLISHING SOME MEASURE OF
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM TO RELIEVE THE pREsI
DENT OF THE oDIUM AND WORRY INCIDENT TO
TIE APPOINTING POWER.
WASHINGTON. July 5.-The ATTEMPTED assassina-
ton OF the President has called attention to the ne
ccSsIty OF providing some more stringent means of
preserving the life Of the Executive head of the Ma
tl"n, and prominent men in and out of Congress
here say that the subject should receive early and
rnr nj l,,.
Congressman pleased to assert that the act of
Guitcau is the natural outcome of the "spoils
sysiem' and Senator BecL has spoken freely and
emphatcaIly to-day III regard to the duty of Con-
gr"8s To fix some tenure of office establish some
measure of Civil Service reform at its very next
session, which shall remove from the shoulders of
the Executive the responsibility for the appoint mcnt
To or retention in Office of one hundred thousand
otiicc-scc kcrs.
Representative Randolph Tucker shares 10 some
extent the opinions of Senator Beck. Many ex-
prcssons of opinion heard To the effect that the
remedy for threatened evils To follow the success
sion OF Nice-Presdcnt was to be found in carrying
out policy which President Ilaves was said TO
have entertained when lac entered upon the Prcsi-
Dental duties, of taking the Vice-President more
freely into the councils of the Executive and sub
mitlng 10 him rs TO Cabinet officer all questions
of public policy. This. it Is thought would
have tendency TO make the second
elective office of the Nation what its name seems to
Indicate it was intended to be, and by
imparting TO the incumbent of the office some
portion OF the responsibility for the Executive
policy, would insure the Nation against an abrupt
reversal of rclormatory measures which might be !
entered upon.
10 surround the President and high officials of |
the Republic with guards would not only be a pain |
fu restraint upon their liberty of action but would
be dong great violence to the spirit of insitu-
TONS But taking into consideration the ease with |
winch crazy men people embttercd and made |
reckless by broodng over fancIcd wrongs may, by !
acts hike that of Guiteau, plungc the Nation into |
poh confusion worse il is thought that the |
inventive genius of our legislators ought TO be
directed to the discovery of better Of protect
ing precious lives than exist. At
tenton Is called to the fact that in
monarchical lands, where penal laws similar
10 our own cXls. for the protection of the lives of
SUBJECTS, 1t is made high treason, punishable by
death to attempt or consprc against the life of the
monarch.
Should the President recover the utmost penalty
which could be mctcd on. to his assailant would be
imprisonment for eight years. In this connection
congress comes in for share of condemnation.
Attempts have been made almost continuously dur
ing several years To secure the passage of revision
OF the Code of Laws of this District. But political
prcoccupatlon, If not unworthicr influences, have
prevented the accomplishment of the desired pur-
pose. Doubtless recent occurrences will have
early ana beneficial effect upon the lawmakers.
