THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The report Of the civil service commission
should receive the careful attention of the op-
ponents, as well as the friends OF this reform.
The commission invites personal inspection
by senators and representatives of its records
such an examination should precede q iudg
ment of condemnation, either of the system or
it's administration. It is not claimed that
either is perfect but I believe that the law
is being executed with impartiality and that
the system is inoomparabiy better and fairer
than that of appointments upon favor. have

to include superintendents, teachers, matronS
and physicians in the Indian service.
