| Civil Service:
Special rule. No. 2, approved JaIy 10th.
1884. Is hereby revoked. All applicants
on any registers for postal or customs

Der next. shall have been thereon one
year or more, shall in conformity with

under consideration
Ell cannot answer definitely. have
drafts of q rule on the subject made in

my summer vacation. The matter was
mush discussed by the Commission.
R.-Nhst object will the rule server
Eft will take of the registers for
oerti6cation those of lover grade than
applicants who have received appoint
msnts. IL can hardly be said that IL
will give those to be hereafter exam
Iaed any better chances for getting ap
pointments. because every enc IL certi-
fed for appointment on the basis of his
grade, regardless Of his time OF exsmi
nation. In other words, the best of
those on any new examination are sure

from former examination after the
superior ones have been appointed. In
most recent examinations those com
peting are decidedly superior TO those
who competed at former examinations.
The change now made will prevent the
III informed from thinking that persons
examined more than year ago are re-
tanned on the registers IN order to give
them places. Until this last special
