CABINET OFFICERS m CONGRESS,

MI Important move of Itself towards tic re-
form Of the civil service.
~a..-...a.ssA.-.es-
CABINET OFFICERS n CONGRESS.
Senator pcutttetqn proposes to renew at
tho present session Of Congress Ills old prop
ositlon to permit members OF the Cabinet to
take seass in tho Senatp and House of Hop
rcscntatlves, toanswer questions verbally. md
participate III tho lubates concerning attatrs
In their respective departments. There is
something TO be said III favor Of such pro-
cetlure, but 1lluci to be urged ngainat 1t, 1lltt
tic ulan Should bs tried only MS an exporl-
,nent ut first, MD Tor limited time, III orler
10 test Its practical workings. Mr. peadie-
Ton Is represented rs coulIlent TINT the bill
will pass the Senate this session, but wo
thnk there ls E0t much prospect Of its pass
inG the House aud bccoullng law unless
provision bo made for llinited term of
probntlon, after which tile practice shalt
unly bu continued by MI affirmative vote OF
Congress.
It must be remembered by those who have
confidence III tho responsible Or responsive
system Of Government which prevails 1T
Great BrItain, lnder which there Is Il change
ofMinIstry on my policy not ratified by the
Commons, the representatives OF the people,
that Alr. Pundleton's bill would not Intro
tiuce tho British system, and tint 90 radlcaIa
change canuot be effected without amending
the Constitution ald revising tie original
scheme of Tie American Government.
Tn Britain the Ministry is ,nntia III from
members of Parliament. each Of whom Inns
the snno rights a1,l privileges as avery other
member. But tho Constitution of tho United
States provides tart. l., Sec, Q, TINT "no
uerson holding any Office untaer tho {1n,trd
States shnII be I, member of either House
during his ccontInuance In of1}cc,n The Con-
s,itutldn goes still further, and torbils the
appointmeut OF any member of Congress to
any Office under the Government created
during the time Tor which auc,1 member was
elected or the oi,noluments whereof hive
bccn Increased during such time. It II tbs
obvious Intent Of tic Constitution. ~ well as
| a cherished tradition of the A,uer;ca,, peo-
pie, that ths Legislative, Executive, and Ju-
dIclal branches Of the Government shall be
independent Of each other, and coordinate
! rs to their authority within their defined
provinces. MI: pend!etun's bill does nut III
u1,y seusy substitute the English system for
the American system, nor is 1t probable that
any svleuio OF constitutional revision to
make such change would be rccelyel with
favor. In England all the functions Of CIV.
crn,uent nuay bo ultimately shipped and cor.
tryilic,ti by the Commons: Il would ba inx-
urlous in the extreme to lodro en,,nt nnwer
IN tiin American House OF Rcprcsentntivrs.
