The appointment of Mr.. Chas. B.
Lyman as chief examiner of the civil
service commission in place of Keim
who was first proposed for the place,
must meet with general favor. The
appointment is in direct line with the
principles protested by the commission
in that Mr.. Lyman has fine record as
an official both previous to, and during
the time he held his former position of
chief clerk in the United States treas
urer's office. Another strong point in
his favor is his intimate knowledge of
the needs of the service which will lead
him to look rather after the practica
than the theoretical points of the newly
instituted reform. A dash of practi
cality, such as he will bring, is just
what is needed and if Mr.. Lyman's
past reputation is any indication of his
work in the future the friends of this re.
form may take new courage from his
appointment.

General Ord's death took place at Havana, while on his way from Mexico to New York. but owing to the uncer. tainty of the telegraph since the strike began, tue information did not reach here until to-day General Crd distinguished himself as a ssEacious and brave officer during the civil war. He commanded the Department Of the Pacific for a time, and was for several years in com mand of the Department of the Gulf which position he held when placed on the retired list some three years ago. He died of yellow fever contracted al Vera Cruz. before leaving Mexico. He had many friends throughout the coun- try. and the people owe hlm debt ci gratitude for his services during the war and since.
