tention was attracted TO a scene, at
that time novel, bnt which soon be-
came common. A canal boat had
just passed through, and on deck !
saw what appeared to be a complete
family. 1t was simply an example
of domestic economy. The father
on one side and the grown daughter
on the other propelled the boat
with long poles, while the mother
held the tiller, and the children
played on deck. Without the city,
sheltered by the dikes, are level fields
extending for miles in all directions,
dotted here and there by cottages
whose tiles shine red in the sunlight.
Clumps of willows relieve the mon
otony of the scene, while in the fields
large numbers of cattle stand nearly
knee deep in the luxuriant grasses.

is as follows
EDaIUNDs' CIVIL SERVICE BILL.

Senator Edmunds proposes radi-
cal change in the method of appoint
ing and removing all the Federal
officials known as "inferior officers"
With few exceptions he proposes
to vest the appointment of all officers
of this class in the President exclus-
lively, without requiring confirmation
by the Senate. While the Presi-
dents power to appoint is thus great
ly extended, the bill aims to strip
him of all authority to make remov-
ais without cause. Under the pro-
posed act the President could sus-
pend an official, but the matter
would then have to be presented to
one of the United States courts, and
the deposed officer could present tes-
timony to disprove any charge made
against him, and, if the allegations
were not sustained, would be re-
turned to his post. No official be-
longing to the class described could
be removed without a trial in court
and an order by a United States
Judge. A few years ago this novel
system of appointment and removal
would have been quite generally re-
garded AS unconstitutional, but since
the opinion of the Supreme Court in
the Perkins case there is no doubt
that Congress may limit and restrict
the removal of inferior officers as
it deems best. Our Senator's propo-
sition is to be criticised as impolitic
rather than as unconstitutional.
1t may be conceded that his plan
would tend towards some good re-
suits, but it is still open to the OBJ
lection that it fritters away respon-
sibility and deprives the President
ofapower often absolutely necessary
to good administration. Undoubt-
eddy it would be an advantage to
divorce the Senate and the President
as far as possible from partnership
in the division of the spoils, as we'll
as to make it impossible for the Elk
ecutive to remove thousands of capa-
BILE officials under false and absurd
pretences; but even such benefits
= would be dearly bought at the cost
of deranging the discipline of the
public service. The President is the
head of the Administration, and all
his subordinates should be response.
BILE to him and liable to be removed
at any time. Mr.. Edmunds' plan
assumes that an office is the property
of the man who holds it and can be
taken away from him only by pro-
ceeding in court. Who would I'M
dertake to manage an extensive pri-
vate business with corps of assist
ants removable only after public
trial and decision by Judge
Such system would take away ne
cessary authority, impair discipline,
and make it impossible to fix respon-
sibility where it belonged. 1t could
have no better results when applied
to the public service.
