why Assistant Secretary Thompson
Wishes Uis Son 10 Resien.


A short time ago Mr.. j. NJ. Thompson, a
young man, who had been employed in
business house in Memphis, came TO this
city, and, desiring to enter the government
service, made application TO the civil service
commission to be examined rs a bookkeeper.
lie was examined and passed successfully,
with a rating OF S5. One day last week
Second Auditor Day, os the Treasury De-
partment made requlsition upon the civil
service commissioners, as he needed book
keeper. -Four names were sent TO him, but
Of the four, after an examination of the
papers OF all, he selected Mr.. Thompson In
consequence Of his excellence as u penman,
together with his ability as bOOkkeeper.
On Thursday Secretary Fairchid, upon the
recommendation Of Auditor Day, and with
out knowing that the candidate was related
to Assistant Secretary Thompson, appointed
Mr.. Thompson to 81 400 clerkship, and he
took service under Auditor Day IN the Win
der building. The next day Assistant Sec
retnry Thompson, the father OF this young
man, who had been absent In Columbia,
s. G., for several days, returned. lie
was met by his son, who impaired the news.
The assistant secretary was thoughtful
rather than delighted. subsequently 1t was
stated that the Young man had decided,
with his fathers approval, TO ask to have
the appointment revoked. Tho reason given
was that the suppositiou might go abroad
tnat he had secured his place through the
exercise of his fathers official influence.
When Assistant Secretary Thompson was
asked about the matter he admitted that
the facts were as stated, and that II was
true he had counselel his son to decline the
appointment. lie had not advised him to
resign because he doubted the honesty of
the examination 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. "1 am for
civil service reform, and stronger In my adj
vocacy of IL since have been iu Office than
was before, and / do not wish to afford
anybody chance to suspect my devotion
to It," Auditor Day and Secretary Fair
child, who selected the candidate and made
the appointment, do not consider that AS
sistant Secretary Thompson should dscrim-
mate for or against his son In such matter,
and believe that, as the young man passed
the examination on his merits and was
chosen for his proficiency as a penman and
boUkkeeper, he Is entitled TO hold his place.

ward smoothly and expedltiously; special
vigilance in guarding and protecting. public
property and interests was enjoined upon
the men, and they were urged TO be indus
trious and attentive. They were especially
requested to be watchful against FIRE, as O
confagratlon now would be particularly
disastrous. This Injunction was partlcu,
larly impressed upon tue foreman OF tue
stables. All the foremen were directed to

any work of any kind unless II had the ap-
proval Of Mr.. Benedict. They were also
