the cause of reform by taking a group Of
Southern Congressman. among them some of
the best known men in the House, to see the
registers and method OF doing business at the
Office of the Commission. There is pretty
general ignorance in some parts of the South
and in other portions Of the country respecting
the workings of the system. The Commission
has always been anxious to present the strong
points Of the merit system and has taken no
little pains to educate the public mind and dis
abuse it of misconceptions and prejudices. But
ii has so far hit upon no plan so convenient and
promising in its results as that Of showing at
oace q number of representative men from
many states jus. how the eligible list is con-
verified into good public servants in a very short
time. The Commission also enabled to
show the Congressman. and through them
the people in their districts, the necessities OF
the service. Incidentally the Commission did
some effective work in knocking over bugaboos
The record of the last four months in regard
to the eligible lists from the south as ascer-
tanned by the visiting statesmen was succinctly
stated rs follows: 81 out of go persons stand
ing highest in the examinations or about SO
per cent. had already received appointments
under the merit system. Arkansas and Mis-
sour being behind in their quotas. The south
ern quotas have not been so generally filed as
those of the north and west. There is,
however, no surplus of eligibles
except in Pennsylvania and Ohio. 1t
was also shown that all of the COO appoint
ments called for by the law of July Last have
been made, q little more than half from the
northern and little less than half from the
southern states Out of the SIS men from the
twenty-three largest states who stood highest
in examination 479 were appointed on the
elerkship and copyist registers. The facts are
very different from the allegations of spoils-
men. for instead of there being hundreds on
the eligible list more than can hope to receive
appointments the list is too small and the Com
nissioners are now certifying numerous per-
sons for appointment whose average mark
ing was as Low y and even II per cent The
lists have been so reduced by demands upon it.
that eligibles vino barely got their names on
the rolls are now receiving appointments.
These hard facts refute the defamation of
spoilsrnen who seek by erroneous statements
ard appeals to ignorance and prejudice to
overthrow the merit system.
