CIVIL SERVICE STATISTICS.
The Report of the Commissioner
Says the Law Has Produced
Surprising Results.

Says the Law Has Produced
Surprising Results.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-The fourth
report of the civil service commission,
covering it's operations from Jan. 16,
1856, to June 80, 1888, has just been
completed and placed in the hands
of the president. The total number
of applicants who entered examinations
for the classified service in all its
s-departmentai, customs and
postal-during the period covered by
the report, was 1852. OF this number
1886 were men and 1887 women. Of
this number 921 men and 1856 women
passed and 755 men and 353 women
failed to pass the examination.
During this period 452 men and 95
women have been appointed in the
classified departmental service, and
the system of making appointments
upon examination went into effect,
9lS men and 169 women have
been appointed in the classified depart
mental service. OF the work of the
commission during the past three years,
the report says: THAT there has been
accomplished in the execution of the
law all that its Sanguine friends expect
ed. is not claimed, but without any
degrees of ineXactnesS in statement it
may be said that in the results of its
execution is shown to the wis
dom of the principle of divorc-
ing the subordinate officers of
the government from politics and
electors and making continuance in
office dependent, not upon party Serv
ice. but upon merit and good behavior.
In this respect the law has produced re-
suits which are not eXtravagantly
described as surprising"
The demOraliZing methods
THE PATRONAGE SYSTEM
of appointments the commission say
have been replaced within the classified
service by the better methods of the
law, under which the demands of COM
mon justice are complied with; that
in so far as practicable all per-
sons duly qualified shall be allowed
equal opportunities on grounds of per-
sOnal fitness, for securing appointment
and employment in the subordinate
civil service The political assessor,
they say. no longer does his work
openly. He pursueS his avocatlon as if
it were diShOnorable. But while
much has been done, there is room,
the commission declares for the accom-
plishment of much more good, as the
patronage system is strongly entrenched
in parts of their vile service. The COM
MISSIONS report for the year ended
June 80, 1883, will probably be COM
Dlete d next September.

where the working people are nearly
