HOW CLERKS IN THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT WILL
BIZ APPOINTED.
WASHINGTON, March 26-Seeretary Kirkwood
has invented an improvement upon the Civil Service
programme of his predecessor, which if successful
in its results as it can hardly fail to be. will doubt
less form the guiding principle in making appoint
ments in the Interior Department. About one hun
dred and twenty-five new cerkships in tho Pension
Oficc were provided for by Congress during the
last month Of its session. aud 1t is necessary to make
the appointments without delay. To require ap-
plicants to be examined in accordance with the
Civil Service rules of Secretary Schurz will exclude
from all chance of serving their country In the PEN
sion Office all who live at distance and who can.
not afford TO como to Washington at their own ex-
pense, with only remote chance Of employment
when they get here.
Secretary Kirkwood has therefore concluded to
make the appointments upon such evidence Of the
qualifications OF applicants as he can gather from
all parts Of the country. The appontees will come
to Washington and be placed at work with the un-
derstandng that it, after two or three months SER
vice. they prove not to be competent TO perform the
duties required of them they shall give place TO
Others By that time they will at least have earned
enough to take them home again. The Secretary Is
now engaged in making h'l selections from the
many who have made application for places.
