THE CIvIL-sERVICE REPORT,

One would infer from the tone of the
report of the Civil-Service Commits
sioners and the executive message
which accompanied it to Congress that
the whole country was in love with the
civil-service act. But from the antics
of many working Democrats and the
emphatic language with which they
sprinkle the circumambient air when
they talk about the law, we know that
all is not so very charming. And we
doubt if Democratic Members of Con
gress are as grateful to the Commits
sioners as they ought to be. The Com
missioners, for instance, say;
Solicitation and pressure for appointments
have been greatly limited. Members of Con-
Eress have been relieved from much an
noyance,
We fear that the average Member
of Congress would rather be worried
Than not if by being worried he could
induct into good places some of those
who elected him and upon whom he
depends to re.elect him. We repeat
that we do not think the Democratic
Member of Congress is, under all the
circumstances, as grateful to the civil
service triumvirate as he ought to be.
The report reads good deal as If it
were written in an atmosphere by
which ordinary mortals, men who are
so low in the social level as to actually
vote for man because Of his politics
and so earnest in their convictions that
they will even consent to become party
workers, are never surrounded.
One sentence of the report very aptly
illustrates its general tone of diction.
1t speaks of those who have politically
aided the Commission in upholding the
civil service law, and in approaching
its beauties, and then refers to those
who cannot be made enamored of the
system In the following words; "The
greatest opposition to the new system
has come mainly from few Members
of Congress, some State and Federal
officials, aud many small politicians,
none Of whom have any such knowledge

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE,


EDITOR CRITIC: AS the President seems
determined to nominate another negro for
the Office of Recorder Of Deeds In the place
of his Albany protege, in case the latter
should not be confirmed by the Senate, we
should suggest the name of colored
brother, who is about as near being Dem
ocrat as any Of his race In this District We
refer to Colonel Samuel Noble. The Colo
mel is a native Of this city and has always re-
sided here. His long and intimate connection
with the Office Of the District Attorney has
given him an insight and experience with
regard to the control and management of
the different offices In and about the City
Hall, which would give him an immense
advantage over the colored foreigner, whom
1t was designed TO import into this purely
domestic office. The position which the
Colonel now holds brings him into daily
contact with the leading members of the
bar, and the cordality and unanimity with
which they indorse his administration
is the most convincing proof OF his fitness
and capacity for the position to which his
friends propose to elevate him. AS a lover
Of "hOme rulen and home talent, | call upon
yoU to give "Sam.n boom.

The san this morning, In forecast of the

Tho President and tho Church.

EDITOR Critic. In recent issue of your
paper you say that Pastor Newman cannot
make Methodist out of President Cleye-
land. You must have had in mind the re-
port that the trustees OF the Metropolitan
Church had rendered him pew. Now for
the information of your readers | will
state that there is pew In this chnrch that
was occupied by President Grant and the
same pew is once rendered to every other
It. This pew was rendered to President
Cleveland over year ago IN accordance
with the usual custom, but as he Is by
choice Presbyterian we are quite willing
to leave his spiritual interest In such able
hands as those OF Dr. Sunderland. We are
also most happy to tell you that our elo-
quent pastor, Dr. Newman, does not de-
pend on the prestige Of any President to tlil
the pews Of his church. q. BuRLEw.
