Tardy Reformers.

Hon. William Mutchler, chairman

a report of their proceedings, but has

b. Eaton is voluable enough in private
conservation on civil service and
Judge ThOman is free of speech in
commenting the merits Of the work
performed, but nobody can get them
TO formulate a report on which the
public may predicate an estimate of
the success or failure Of the scheme.

cal man and that he is only now show.

that be is remarkably forbearing.
Most people who have given the sub.
ject any consideration lost patience
long ago. The blundering beginning
of the commission was testimony that
the work was committed TO stupids or
theorists, and the reports Of their pro.
ceedings since gathered by the enter.

this impression.
