4 YEAR or CIVIL SERVICE Reform.
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS SPEAKS or ITS PROGRESS
AND PROSPECTS.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS SPEAKS or ITS PROGRESS
AND PROSPECTS.
Half dozen cabs drove up in the drcnching
rain to No 81 West Twenty-ourth-s last evening and
deposited about twenty members OF the Civil Service
Reform Association The annual meeting Of the assoca-
ton was held to receive the report OF tho Executive
Committee and to elect officers. George
william Curtis president, called the meeting to order
1.-THE year." Mr.. Curtis said, has been one OF I'M
portance the objects OF the association. The great
event since our meeting has been the change In the
Administration OF the National Government. There Is
no severer test the vitality OF the movement Of Civil
Service Reform than the change of the Chief Executive
of the Government. IL ought to be borne In mind
that President Cleveland In entering Oh
his duties has upon three specific points stated his posi-
ton and pledged himself to maintain It: Frst-In his
letter Of he said that the selection and reen-
ton OF subordhates In Office should be the basis OF
ascertaned merit aud capacity. secondIn his letter
TO this league he urged the enforcement Of the Pendeton
BILL and he went farther saying that those holding Of
flee for specific terms the absence OF just complaint
should be permitted at least to serve out
their terms. Third-In his inaugural address he
substantially ratified what he had said before. The
of events has shown his fidelity this prnc pie
The reapFontment OF Postmaster Pearson is wholly IN,
precedented since the SpOl5 system was introduced IL
the President adheres to these pledges what we I'M
derstand from his EXPRESSIONS the progress OF reform
General jackson introduced the spoils ystem.
"But the great defect Of the Civl Service
in the common understanding that the offices
are to filed the end Of that by the appointing
power with of his own political way Of thinking
The true principle OF reform should DO the appointment
of the man who in office has been distinguished for
faithfuness and efficiency IL Is natural to expect that
the dominant party VIII not believe IN the reform until
tile offices arc shared by its party. The President
may try to establish an equilibrium for TINS
reason and this can easily be done by MI,
ing those offices, properly vacated, by members OF
his own party Then, the only question Is, are tho
candidates honest and capable e.
William Potts the secretary read report OF the work
OF the Association for the year, and Ira Bursey treas
uror said that the expenses had been 81 $780, and that
there was balance Of $24lO The following officers
