An Office-Grabber.
An APPOINTMENT NOT ACCORDING TO CWu
SERVICE Reform.

The appointment of Eugene Higgins of
Baltimore, to be appointment clerk at the
treasury department is received with dissstis-
faction by everybody who has the cause of
civil service reform at heart. Mr.. Higgins is
known in Maryland as one of the worst rep
resentatives of the spoils system. For years
he has been "heeler" for Senator German,
to whom, indeed, he owes his present appoint
ment. His chief business seems to have
been to look after the Maryland legislature in
the interest of his patron, and this he seems
to have done successfully Mr.. Trevitt's re-
moval which the appointment of Mr.. Higgins
causes, can be excused on no possible grounds.
He had risen to the position from the lowest
grade of clerk by slow promotion on account
of his efficiency and faithful discharge of his
duties. lie had been in the employ of the
department for over twenty two years. Every
body recognizes in Mr. Higgins appointment
a decided victory tor Mr.. German 1t will
place him in position to know ev-
erything that goes on in the treasury.
