Civil service REFORM.

The Civil Service Law enacted
by Congress, is the wrong step in
the right direction. It is the out
come of the popular demand for a
reform of the civil service of our
government, but, practically, it will
prove failure.
The law provides that the Presi-
dent, by and with the consent of the
Senate, shall appoint three Commits
sioners, not more than two of who m
shall belong to the same political
party, who shall aid him in prepar-
ing suitable rules for carrying the
law into effect. And, among other
things, it provides for open compe-
titive examinations for testing the
fitness of applicants; which exami-
nations shall be practical in their
character, and shall relate to those
matters which will fairly test the
relative fitness of the persons ex-
amined, to discharge the duties of
that service into which they seek to
be appointed.
In considering the probable ef-
I feets of this law, we must remember
that the President is not bound by
5 provisions, and that he mas
ss it if it should suit hie ~ -.
