sion ~as issued to-day. Tho commits
Should be extended as rapidly as practi-
cable to cover every position in the public
service to which it can appropriately be
applied. They earnestly desire that some
such bill as that introduced in the last
congress, to take the fourth class post
masters out Of politics, may become .
law. The report continues: ultimately
the system Of promotions in departments
inust come under the immediate SUPER
vision OF the commission In order to Sc
cure uniformity. and the best results.
Very serious harm, In our judgment. nc
suits from allowing tho chiefs Of divisions
to be excepted from examination, and We
think that they should be put under the
general rule and be appointed by promo
tion from within the service"
The report shows Q very surprisi ng
growth in the number Of employees com.
rared with the growth Of the population.
The percentage of the growth Of the public
service in 10 years Is nearly double that Of
the population. The service classified
for examination under tho civil service
rules has grown even faster I'm tho same
time, increasing at tho ratio of l3O per
cent. 30 that whereas only about II per
cent. Of the public service Was removed
from party politics In 1883. about n per
cent. is removed In 1893. The whole
number of places subject to competitive
