CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The statements made and the testimony
taken before the committee on civil SER
vice and retrenchment of the United States
senate relative to the subject of civil ser
vice reform, and chiefly touching the Pen
dleton bill to regulate and improve the
civil service of the United States, have
just been printed. The testimony covers
more than two hundred pages and is of a
highly interesting character. It includes
statements of Dorman B. Eaton, president
of the civil service commission; Henry G.
Pearson, postmaster at New York; Silas
w. Burt, naval officer at New York; Mr..
Edward G. Graves, of the treasury depart
ment; Mr. A. W. Beard. collector of
the ports of Boston and Charlestown; Mr..
George William Curtis, MIR. John L.
Thomas, of Baltimore, and others. The
testimony includes also much valuable in
formation concerning the practical work
ings of the methods proposed by the Pen
dleton bill wherever in the service of the
government these plans have been essen
TALLY adopted.
The reform of the civil service of the
government having attracted increased pub
lie attention for several years, is at last
becoming the subject of almost universal
discussion in this country. Don Cameron
lnJects into the platform of his machine
convention in Pennsylvania the professions
of civil service reform, and fusion con-
vention in Maine denounces the reform of
the civil service. The recognition by the
politicians and the political classes of the
popular demand for the betterment of the
administration of the government is com
plete, and the present is a favorable time
for the consideration of this subject by
congress in obedience to the acknowledged
desire of the people.
The Pendleton bill is not narrow, III
considered measure to secure minor re-
forms in the civil service 1t addresses it
self to the whole work in the spirit of
administrative science. In the volumi-
nous testimony taken before the senate
committee all the objections to the Pen
dleton bill are, in one form and another,
aDundantly answered; and the objections
made to Mr.. Pendleton's measure have
been numerous and varied.
First-It is alleged that the Pendleton
bin is unconstitutional on the ground that
the constitution places the appointing
power in the hands of the executive. This
objection is not valid. The Pendleton bill
carefully avoids any infringement of the
executive authority in the matter of APP
pointments. 1t proposes to provide by

crops are all of the very finest kind, anG
