The only DISCOVER of the poisonous uric acid

SALlCYLlCA is known as a commop-sense

many so-called specifics and supposed papactas

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
MR.. KEIMS APPOINTMENT.
THE COMMISSIONERS SURPRISED AT THE TONE OF
CRITICISM,

CRITICISM.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.J
WASHINGTON, April 29-The Civil Service Com
missioners have received no definite information as
to whether or not the President has reconsldered
the matter of Mr.. Keim's appointment as Chief
Examiner. One of the Commissioners said tonight
that he did not know whether Keim's commission
had been signed by the President.
The Commissioners are not only surprised, but
they are also very indignant, at the newspaper
criticisms upon the selection of Mr.. Keim In ex-
planning their action and defining their position, 1T
is said 1t is preposterous and wicked to assert
that the choice of Mr.. Keim was brought about by
the use of any political influence pressure what
overland most of all to say that 1T was the result
OF any urgency on the part Of tho President
OF Senator Cameron. Without going into details
it may be said that before the selection twas made
advice was sought from every prominent friend OF
the new law who was accessible, and all OF them
concurred in or warmly advocated it. Further
moro. In behalf of the Commissioners 1t may be
asserted that had any political pressure or influence
been brought to bear in Mr.. Kem's behalf 1t would
have been damaging to him. 1t is also to be SAID
that the most careful investigation and thorough
inquiry were made respecting him. NO one ever
limited or suggested that he was tool OF any
political boss; nor was an objection raised
against his character intelligence or sincerity and
honesty OF purpose.
Moreover the commission found that, years
ago. before anybody else suggested it, Mr.. Keim
formulated and advocated plan of civil service
examinations for the consular service; they also
found that his reports on that service contained
many excellent suggestions and that he had de-
scribed abuses in plain terms and recon-
mcnded the application of reform measures
While they do not believe that he
will mako an ideal Civil Service
Examiner, they do maintain that Mr.. Keim is the
best man they could find who would accept the
place, and they were convinced that he would per-
form the duties acceptably and efficiently. They
do realize however. that one of the primary requi;,
sites is that he should enjoy public confidence. and
many misgiyngs are freely expressed by them on
this score-fcars that the generally unfavorabe and
severe criticism of the press have made 1t impossible
TOR Mr. helms career as Chief Examiner TO De
successful one"
Some of the criticism of the Commissioners is
roundly denounced not only as ungenerous, but
abusively unfair and malignant. 1t Is not expected
that action on the Civil Service rules will be
taken before next Tuesday. A Cabinet officer TO-
day expressed his opinion that they VIII undergo 10
material change before approval
