The Civil.Service Law.
IT'S OPERATION As SHOWN BY THE ANNUAL REPORT
THE COMMISSION,

THE COMMISSION.
The fourth annual report OF the Civil Service
Commission, covering the year 1886 ~, which was
placed In The Presidents hands yesterday, states
that out OF the 10, So persons who were examined
during the year loS6-'S7 the names OF TO- 746 were
placed on the list or etgbles and AS received ap-
pointments. OF those who received appointment
452 men and 90 women went into the Depart
mentS 3,210 men and 81 women In the postal
service, and GAL men In the customs service. Be-
tween January 8, 1883. when the civll-service law
was approved, and June 80, 1887, the depart
mental appointments aggregated l,266, OF which
the proportion OF men TO women was o 70 /. The
report argues against the suggestion that appoint
ments should be apportiOned among congressional
districts. II recommends the extension OF the
classified service to embrace employees OF the Ill
way Nail service, the held employees or the Indian
and Labor Bureaus, the Indian school service, the
graded clerks In the several depOts OF the Quarter
master Generals ono. In the War Department
and certain other positions In the civil service.
Regarding the civil-servlce law the commission
ers, while saying that all has not been accom-
pl1shed which It's sanguine friends expected add I:
"The demoralzing methods OF the patronage sys-
TEN OF appointments have been replaced. within
the CLASSIFIED service, by The better methods OF the
law, under which the demands OF common Justice
are complied with that, In SO TAR as practicable,
all citizens duly Qualined shall be allowed equal
opportunity, on grounds Of personal fitness, for
securing appointment and employment In the
subordinate civil service"
