perfect health. 1t is virtually taking the
Carlsbad treatment in your home. Every
drug store has it. The genuine has the sigma

SERVICE LAWS ARE FLAGRANTLY DIsRE-
GARDED BY THE COMMISSIONERS.
The parlors OF Good Government Club B. at No.
10 Yves, were We. filed
last night with members and friends OF the club,
who listened to an address by Everett p. Wheeler,
on "Clvll Service Reforms as Applied 70 Municipal
Government" Mr. Wheeler said. in part: "A very
careful examination. which has been made by a
committee OF the New-York civil Service Reform
Association. shows that the examinations IN this
city are much less efficient than they formerly
were particularly In the Police Department. Com
mlssioners Of the Police have testified before the
present Legislative Committee that they paid.no at
entlon whatever TO the results of the examinations
as certified by the examining board.
THE present rules allow a very large number OF
persons to be sent up for selection by the Police
commissioners who are at liberty TO select those
rated the lowest from among this list, as Wen as
those rated highest. There can be no reasonable
doubt that many OF the complaints which are
Justly made against the present conditlon or tne
Pole. Department in this city are due 10 TINS
disregard OF requirements OF the civil service Jaw
There can be only two explanations or the testl'
nony before referred to. Either the examiners are
incompetent or Inefficient. and for that reason their
work is not entitled 10 regard, or else the Com
nissionrrs wilfully disregard the law which eX,
pressly requires that all the offices in the classned
service of the city shall be filled by selecuohs
from among those graded highest as the result oi
such competitive examinations II the Ponce tom
Of the laws OF the State openly and fagrantly dis
regard them. they admit they do. What wonuei
is il that their suborlinates are equally regardless
OF the duties imposed upon them by law.
