The civil service law again came in
for its quota of criticism in the senate
today and later in the session Senator
PETER, the populist senator of Kansas,

the proposition of the secretary Of the

directly without authority in law.

and whether the public service would

Objection was made to the amendment
by Senator WOlcott
