Washington despatch of tine 18th inst
says
Representative Grout of Vermont has intro
duc-d bis biu Co provide that the lOllfourthcas-
pustmuSters of tur country shall be- selected ir
the people and boz intends 60 press this bill a. long
he remains Do Congress 10 was introduced at
tine last session ami adversely reported upon AMI
900 further action was taken upon it The Din re
uulres these pustmasters 90 keep az open registry
for tue resident patrons of their offices. and pro
yides that whenever a majority of tine resident
patrons of tine posi- office prefer a commissions
of the circuit court is to issue proclamation for
Il meeting. That al this meeting tine candidate
for tine post office shall be balluted for iu accord
uucr with the requirement. OF laws governing
such matters. AMI the name shall be- forwarded tU
tie postmaster general There Is "a urovis0 boz
the law that me- cannot refuse Co appoint any per
son selected for political or party reasons. but
he Is NOT r-VWred 90 appoint the person VINO may
Ice selected by this vote In case he shall decline
90 do So for any reason IN his own discretion. the
meeting shall he notified. when another person
shall be- voted for Mn Circuit thinks that some
plan of TINS sort would divorce the fourth class
post offices from politics. establish the principle
1r home rule as To- these offices. and work "a sub
stantial reform in the public service
This is decidedly the best move made in
the right direction, since the enactment of
the civil service law. The conception Of
the measure shows qualities of genuine
craftsmanship on Gen Grout s part Should
%, or something substantially like it, be-
come the law of the land, 1t would be the
greatest stride yet ia the attempted divorce
of ofice-holdnv and politics In its way 1t
would do more than the civil service law itself
has done. because it would reach and affect
the people IN "a more intimate personal way
1t would kill of the local bosses. which
might be bad for them but 1t would be very
good for everybody. Let Gen. circuit keep
hammering away at his good job by all
! means
