unexpectedly, and at the last moment the
Senate transferred the office Of superin-
tendent of documents from the Depart
ment of the Interior to the Government
Printing Office and authorized the Public
Printer to appoint a superintendent. 1t is
not easily to be imagined that 1t was the
congressional purpose to take a backward
step and while adopting the reform to
cast out the reformer. The Office is in no
sense political-in fact, politician in it
would be as much out of place as that
prcverbial misfit, a bull in china shop.
The Public Printer has not yet exercised
his power of appointment as to the super
intendency, and it may be his purpose to
take the creditable course of making this
selection on the merit system by giving
the author of this valuable and appreci-
ated law an OPPORTUNITY to put his pre-
cepts into practice.
