Civil Servi:r RefOl III.

Senator Pendleton of Ohio has made a report
on civil service, the gist of which is III the fol-
lowing paragraph:
cit is conceded that the party in power must
fill the higher official places with persons who
fairly represent the principles and policy and
subject to whose legal instructions the whole
subordinate administration is to be carried on
The party majority must be allowed to fill all
elective Offices, and hence can control legisa-
ton. But subordi ates in tho executive depart
ments whose duty is the same under every ad-
ministrahon should be selected with sole refer
| once to their character and their capacity for
doing public work. This latter class includes
officials who carry into effect the orders of the
executive and of the heads Of departments,
whether at Washington or in other parts Of the
Union. The committee quotes from the mes
| sage Of President Hayes, of December, 1879,
in which he set forth the good effect of the sys-
tenn Of open competitive examination Inaugural
ted under President Grant, and also from Cen
Garfield, giving his words as reason for hop
ing that, if congress will mako real reform in
the civil service, second relapse to the spoils
| system Of patronage will not be allowed, at least
without vigorous opinion from the executive.
The report concludes with al explanation of
| the principal provisions of the bill.
