hardly looks for such prosperity. Another
clerk, after thirty-six years service, has
worked up to an 81 800 salary; but az this is
the highest in his division he can
expect nothing further. Another, in the
same department, who has served thirty-six
years, and has only reached the 81, 400 income,
is still animated by the hope of finally attain
ing the 81, 800 limit. And so it goes, all the
way through. Length of service and thorough
knowledge Of the particular portion of govern
ment business assigned to any clerk do not
bring adequate financial returns. and, as for
personal consideration from the changing
heads of his department, he has none in com
parison with what would be extended to him
under such conditions in private business
houses. He loses his ambition, his manliness
and individuality in the course Of years, and
he becomes human machine fit for nothing
but to be a government clerk. The young
men Of any political party will do well to look
elsewhere than to the civil service il they wish
to "get on in the world"

THE DEPARTMENT CLERK.

Since the Democrats who want offices and
clerkships under the government have taken
a look over the ground they have learned some
things hardly calculated to increase their long
ing for such positions. or to inspire envy of
the present incumbents. Instead of innumer-
able lucrative sinecures they find that each
clerk in the departments has his duties and
responsibilities as i'll any other line of en-
ployment; that in most instances these duties
are neither light nor their performance avoid
able. Most important of all, the remunera-
ton, even where the labor and responsibility
are greatest, is by no means liberal, and no
matter how well the employee may discharge
his duties or how valuable his services may
become to his department, promotion and in
crease of pay do not follow as in commercial
and professional life. In contemplating the
veterans of the departments, men who
were clerks s'before the war;" and are
clerks still, the young and ambitious
party workers anxious to serve their country
chiefly for their own, and, incidentally, Tor
the country's good, can hardly wish to fol-
low in this same monotonous path. The cor
respondent of Democratic exchange who has
been taking an inventory of the Treasury, in
the way Of possible berths finds very few de-
sirable ones, and grows melancholy, rather
than enthusiastic, over his discoveries. He
finds one man of eighty-six who has been at
his desk regularly for forty years. The old
man began with salary of 81 200, but by
constant and faithful attention to business be-
came SO indispensable that this was increased

reformed out of Office, no may succeed IN
getting raise Of another hundred, but he
