people here now than at any time since the
election Of Cleveland. They arethoroughly
alarmed. The events Of the past few days
have shown them that they are likely to be
reached in the process of transformation at
s pretty early date. Many Of them had been
catering themselves all along that they
were to stay indefinitely. The events of the
Vsst few DAYS, however, show them that they
were mistaken. 1t is announced in q semi
c.4.ial way that the heads of the depart
ments find that they are hampered By hay-
ir- men under them who are not in full
sympathy with the administration and are
20, inclined TO enter fully into the work that
i, is proposing to accomplish. There have
been some very mysterious disappearance
Of papers from the files of some of the de-
vsItments Of late, affecting the standing of
some Of the candidates for office, and ma
,urally they are laid to the Republican
clerks, whether they are responsible or not.
The Most Alarming Thing.
The feature that has produced the most
alarm, however, is the actual removals.
!, is when the firing actually begins that the
1os. alarm is telt. And it has begun. Il
IS 10 uncommon thing now to hear in the
evening Of the removal Of one or two or
,hree or even q halt dozen chiefs OF diyi-
.,Uus or other employees outside the civil
.tr,lCe law. You see, said one of the
,n}s. fairly sbiyering with alarm, there

srarce. They are not included in the civil
service list. Well, it is easy to dismiss
every one Of them on the ground that they
want men IN their places who are in accord
With The administration, or some other eX-
cuss Of this sort Well then they can pro.
mote the man below him to his place
regular civil service style, you know-and
when be gets into the place he will be a
legitimate target for another removal, for
,leu he will be outside Of the civil service
line See?
There are, too, a great many positions
here hat are not counted as under the civil
service rules. There are l2,7l7 civilian
employees of the General Government here,
attached to the various executive depart
ments, 10 the Government printing Office
and and several commissions or bureaus
not directly responsible to any one depart
ment. Of this number $40 are clerks,
drawing salaries ranging from 5000 to
81 800, who are included IN the classified
service, appointments to which can only be
made from those who pass the civil service
examinations. The remainder includes Of
Ecers appointed by the President chief
clerks and others whose salaries exceed
81 800 per anuum; persons receiving sal
aries ranging from 5000 to $1,000, but
whose emp oynent is OF special character,
excepted from examination; cOpyists, mes
seugers, laborers, and others whose salaries
are below 1900, and employees who do not
receive annual salaries, but are paid by the
hour, day or month.
