THE GOOD WORK PROGRESSES


Mr.. Benedict, the new public printer,
has already begun the work ofreforming
many abuses which existed under the
administration of the Republican incum-
bent. He has ordered an inventory to
be made Of all the horses and carriages.
from which it is inferred that he will
commence at once to clean out the Au-
gean stables. At present six horses and
as many vehicles are kept at the ex-
pense with without detriment to the
service. They will be sold at auction
and the money will be convered into the
Treasury, and these will no longer eat
their heads of at the expence of the tax
payer. The Republicans viii hiss at
this as little thing, but it is precisely
this economy in little things multiplied
in all the thousand offices ofthe Govern
ment that has enabled the present Dem
ocratic Administration to reduce the ex-
penses Of the government during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1885, to the
amount of $25, 6S0,7S5. 1t should be re-
membered that this is the only entire
fiscal year in which the Democrats have
had entire change of the Government;
they have not got fully warmed up yet,
or cleared away the rubbish so as to have
complete elbow room. They will do
better next year.
The saving of money is not the only
gain. More work has been done, better
work has been done in all the offices
while the character of the service has
been improved and elevated by dis
charging an idle, vagabond, incorporate
horde and appointing many clean, ofici-
emit, and industrious employees. There
is still much need of purging and puri-
fication in this direction, but enough has
been already accomplished to give hope
for the future.
An incident occurred in the Treasury
Department last week which is illustrs-
tive Of the morals among the Presidents
Democratic appointees. During the alb
sence of Assistant Secretary Thompson,
his son, without his father knowledge,
passed civil service examination and
was appointed to place in the Treasury
Department. The father knew nothing
of the appointment until young Thomp-
son had been assigned to his desk. In
stead Of congratulating the young man
he told him that there would be a
suspicion that he secured the place
through his fathers influence. Young
Mr.. Thompson thereIpon handed in his
resignation. When Assistant Secretary
Thompson was asked about the matter
he admitted that the facts were as stated
and that it was true that he had counsel.
ed his son to decline the appointment.
He had not advised him to resign be-
cause he doubted the honesty Of the ex-
animation and report; but because he
did not wish to give the enemies of civil
service reform any grounds upon which
to assail the operation of the law. Il am
for civil service reform and stronger in
my advocacy of it since have been in
Office than ! was before, and l do not
wish to afford anyone q chance to sus-
meet nv devotion to it.D
