KEIM'S PROSPECTS BAD.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l

WAsHINGTON, May 5.-From all that can he
learned the probability that Mr.. Kem will become
Chief Examiner Of the Civil Service is extremely
weak. Not for long time, if ever before, has the
proposition to appoint man to any responsible Office
been received with such unanimous expression
of disapprobation and surprise. Excepting one or
two newspapers, whose editors miss no Opportu-
nifty to sneer at any proposition to reform the Civil
Service, the Republican press of the country has
condemned the proposition to appoint Mr.. Kelm
Probably the Civil Service Commissioners as well
as the President realize fully that to appoint Mr.
Keim Chief Examiner in the face Of almost unani-
nous protest from the press from Civil Service Re-
form associations and from the public generally,
would be greatly to impair IL not entirely to de-
stroy, public confidence In the commission, and
largely to discredit the law itself
All those who have heard the President discuss
the new law or who have observed his actions re-
spectine it, believe that while ho is disposed to treat
with the utmost respect the views and recommen-
datons of the Commissioners. he will take no step
which in his Judgment would endanger fair trial
OF the measure. It is expected, now that the rules
have been virtually approved, that speedy action
viii be taken in regard TO the Chief Examinershp,
and that IN the next two or shree days the office
VIII be lled. IL is not improbable that on OF before
Mcnday next Mr. Kem will receive intmatlon
that his voluntary withdrawal from the field will
be a relief TO others and on the whole, an act OF
wisdom for himself In that way he can save his
own dignity and if he is really so earnest and SIM
cero Civil Service reformer he processes 70 he,
he can do so cheered by the consciousness that in
no other way can he do tho greater service.
Whether hc does not. however II is rather safe
TO predict that he will not be Chief Examiner.
