Political Assessments Again.

EX-CONGREssMAN DKZENDoRF GIVES THE CIVIL SER
VICE COMMISSIONERS INFORMATION ABOUT MA
HOMES AGENT-wHAT CIVIL SERVICE CoMMIS-
SIoNER GREGORY AND CHIEF EXAMINER LYMAN
SAY.
The civil service commissioners to-day received
a letter from ex-Represantative DeZendorf stating
that Mr.. c. Clark, Senator Mahone's political as
sessment agent, made an assessment last week OF
five per cent the salaries received by all OF the
employees OF the Norfolk navy yard and that this
was the third assessment levied upon the same
employees by the same man inside of year. DR..
gregory, civil service GommiSsloner. stated TO a
that as it had just been received no Investigation
had yet been made OF the charges or statements
contained in 1t.
ALL REroRTED VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW TO BE IN
vESTIGATED.
"The views expressed by Judge Thoman in re-
gard to political asSeSsm ents," said DR.. Gregory,
"are In accord with those Of the other commits
sioners. don't mean to say anything that looks Oh
like menace. Itcan be said simply thatit Is the
serious and earnest intention OF the commiso.nn-
ers TO call the attention OF the proper authorities
to every violation OF the law OF which We get
made that the law has been violated In any de-
partment, and we are satisfied OF its truth, we
Ill notify the Secretary that such q charge is
made and we believe it to be true, II ne neglects
to take the proper steps we will report it to the
President AS far as prosecution under the law is
concerned anyman canmake complaint to the grand
jury. don't see why MIR. Dezendorf did not make
his complaint to the grand jury. Every case OF
violation OF the law reported to the commission
has been investigated. or course the commits
s1oners cannot act upon hearsay testimony or the
statements OF newspapers"
CLARK NOT A GOVERNMENT EMPLoyE.
CHIEF Examiner Lyman, when spoken to con-
cerning the DeZendorf letter, said he had no
knowledge of the matter officially, though he had
heard Of 1t. He had been informed that Clark
was not government employe, and therefore did
not come under the law Senator Malone was
Chairman OF the committee, and IL was an inter
estng question how far the acts OF Clark as treas
urer, involved the other members OF the COM
m1ttee.

THE COMMISSIONERS HOLD THAT PROMOTIONS CAN
NOT BE MADE OF MESSENGERS INTO THE CLASH
FLED SERVICE.
The civil service commission will investigate
the action OF the Interior department., reported
In the newspapers, OF promoting two messengers
to positions which places them inside Of the $500
grade of clerks. Sometime ago the right OF heads
OF departments to promote from the ranks Of
laborers into the classified service into Ques
ton at the Treasury department. After an inter-
view between Secretlry Folger and members Of
the civil service commission, tho Secretary ac-
cepted the view to the construction Of the law.
Their views. as expressed by Commissioner
Gregory to STAR reporter to-day, is that no head
of department has a right to promote a man
from the rank OF labOrer to the classified service.
Such transfer is not promotion, but an adInis-
sion into the classified service, and no one can be
admitted into the classified service without ex-
animation.
The civil service commissioners have made q
draft OF rules to govern promotions from one
grade to another in the classified service, but they
have not been finally adopted. Meanwhile, pro-
motions within the classified service are made I'm
accordance with the rules heretofore followed In
the departments.

We saw in the Capitolian-Advocate
some time since detailed scheme by
which it is. proposed to place the entire
management and control of our prima-
ry elections In the hands of the State
Committee. The editor of that paper
gravely stated that the aforesaid scheme
would be proposed to the6tate Commit
tee, and IAN attempt made to adopt it.
The proposition was so extraordinary
and impEacticable that we passed it by
without comment. We have it how
ever, upon. good authority that the at
tempt will seriously be made to force
these measures through the committee.
The brain that connived this scheme
must have had some agencyin framing
the present,election law. Precisely the
same undemoeratic spirit runs through
both. The election law takes away
from the people all superyisory.eo
over their elections, and this new scheme
of the McEnery managers proposes to
take away from the masses of the De-
land subject them to the dictation Of
these same managers, through the
State Committee which they propose to
control.
It is furthermore proposed to inter-
pose obstacles and restrictions in tile
way of free and untrammelled yote;at
the primaries, by snbjecting the voters
toan oath as long as the moral law, in
addition to requiring certain qualifca-
tons, of which, of course, the commits
sioners are to be the judges. The
trainers of the scheme certainly must
think that the masses of the Democra-
cy are imbeciles, or scoundrels. In the
country we feel perfectly competent
to manage our primaries, and do not
need such sategaards-that is what they
are called-to prevent frauds.
And i'd the State Committee should ar
Eogate to itself the extraordinary au-
thority to do what is proposed, and
should do it, it will prove itself to be a
reckless partisan body, bent upon per-
sonal ends rather than the good OF the
party organization.
But we do not expect the thing to be
accomplished. We warn the Committee
that it bad better stick to its proper
functions, and that any attempt to muz-
gle the Democratic voters or put strait
jackets upon them, will breed discOrd
and resentments 10 the party.
