date of the 18th:
"No official under the Treasury
department who may hereafter
get into trouble through anysort Of
delinquency or misconduct will be
allowed to resign. Secretary Carr
Isle has issued an order to all the
chiefs Of bureaux, that in such ca
ses recommendation for the remov.
al of the offending person must be
made to him. This may appear TO
be small matter, but it is really
an important reform. 1t has been
the custom for many years to allow
employees detected in some dishon-
orable transa elton 70 retire from
office by the resignation route,
leaving nothing upon the records
to indicate that the retirement has
been under cloud, and complaints
have been made by those who
haye afterwards lost money by sup.
posing these men to be honora bic
because of their department record.
The record will in future show
these things as they really are"
