ClVIL-SERVICE EXAMINATION.
Twenty-Six Applicants for Minor Govern
ment Positions-0ne COlored Man.

There were twenty-six applicants for
positions in the American civil service
undergoing the necessary examination in
the courtroom of the federal building
yesterday. Four of these were ladies' who
desired positions as copyists aud stenog-
raphers. Nine of the twenty-six aspire to
be clerks. eleven to be copyists. three to be
Indian teachers. two to be physicians in
the Indian service, and one to be medical
examiner in the Pension Bureau. Only one
of the twenty six is colored man. 1t
was expected that there would be
fifty candidates for examination. The
falling of is attributed to the old spoils
idea that the applicants must be In political
accord with the admin stration. The ma
tiopal Civil-service Commission has made
many efforts to correct the error. and TO
have the people understand that the posi-
tions In the civil service to which the law
extends are not political and that the APP
pointment depends upon the average per
cent. gained by the applicant-not upon
his politics.
The examination Of the candidates for po-
sition In the railway service will be held
tomorrow. +. VI. Higgins. of the Washing
ton commissions service. is conducting the
examinations. with the assistance OF local

Trying to Shift the Blame for the wide
Open" POlicy-Taggart and Sullivan Confer

Although the edict went forth last Sat-
tions of saloon closing laws must cease in
Indianapolis, the usual dearth of arrests
for violations seems to prevail in police
circles. Some Wholesale raiding was looked
for, but instead of following this. the usual,
course. the police notified gamblers and sa-
loon-keepers that they mustn't do 1t any
MORE" and then went back INTO
their accustomed innocuous duesetude,
taking it for granted that both Glasses of
violators of the law would meekly obey a
command given for the looks o. things"
Now that their conduct has caused censure
the police -endeavor to shift the response
bility on to the shoulders of the Cadi, who.
in turn, shifts it back upon them, where it
belongs. The police sey that Judge Bus
kirk is to blame for tho wlde-open policy
under which the city has been run for the
past year, because OF the light fines i'm
posed upon offenders. Then they wink
knowingly and recall speech of the Cadi
while be was but a candidate, in which he
promised to temper justice with mercy"
The Cadi says that he, and not the police,
Is iuage of the Police Court. and it ia his
province to assess fines against the guilty.
IF the police want warrants upon which
to make raids" he says, they can get
them at any time" Thus the matter
stands. The Cadi says, faint me; It's the
police;n and the police says, "'Taint us; it's
the Csdi." All the while the violations of
the law continue.
Wednesday afternoon L. Pinkerton Tag
CART and Mayor Sullivan were In cOnsulta-
ton with Judge Buskirk. and rumor has it
that the "gams" was the topic discussed.
Taggart is chairman of the State central
committee. and the gamblers have lots
of money which they gave MP freely for
campaign purposes If confidential wink
tells them that the policy to be pursued is
the wide open one. The Democrats are al
READY making preparations for the CT ty
campaign next year. and 1t would be en-
barrassiDg if the police or the Cadi should
be foolish enough to believe that the edict
to shut ont the gamblers was any thing but
o strong bluff"
