Civil Service and the Administration
WHAT COMMISSIONERS EATON SAYS ABOUT TT

Civil Service and the Administration,
WHAT COMMISSIONERS EATON SAYS ABOUT IT
Mr.. DOrman b. Eaton, president of the cfSil
service commission, in response to an INQUIRY
as to the enforcement Of the civil service rr,ss
by the new administration, said: "When Cor
gress at the session Just closed made AN In.
creased appropriation for carrying on the work
Of the commission from July 1, 1885 to Julv L
1886 it knew the policy of the incoming Pres2
dent and must have expected the work Of the
commission to go on. That work does 20 on
regularly, and feel sure that it will 90 on.
Very many of the office-seekers who fingered
here some time after the 4th of March seem fo
have reached the same conclusion, and haya
returned home. Since that date examinations
have been held at Cincinnati, Nashville, Mem.
phis, Brooklyn, New York and Washington
tions soon to be held in the southern and
western states. Examinations and appoint-
ments 60 on as heretofore in the customs SER
vice and for clerical positions in post offices
Excessive numbers are applying to be exam
ined especially for service at Washington
removals are being made, or are soon to be
made I have heard of no case of such re-
moyals and do not believe that anv such re-
moyais will be made. There will, Doubtless
be some removals for good cause, but not
enough to give places to half Of those seeking
to be examined: The old time partizan pro-
scription is not, in my opinion, to be renewed.
Our politics are now more civilized, and Q
sound public opinion is more formidable With.
in the last ten days the commission has male
certifcations for filling eleven vacancies in
the departments at Washington, which is
about the usual rate, and five promotions and
four permanent appointmerts. after proba-
tions have been made from among those
selected under the rules. Several Of these
cases were in the Treasury Department.
