DR.. Herring on Civil seryice.

When the civil service bill came up for final
action in the Senate on Thursday, Senator
Wilkinson, Republican, of St. Mary's, moved
to reeommit the bill, and spoke against the
bill. Senator Herring, of Carroll, made his
first speech of the session, opposing recon-
initial, and said he heartily approved of the
principles of this bill and of their application
to the city of Baltimore. He had not been
informed of any pretast against its passage by
citizens of Baltimore, but bad heard that they
desired it to become law at this session.
The experimental stage Of ciVil-ssryiee re-
form has passed, and the only question before
the General Assembly and the people was the
application of this principle. 1t had been
properly done in the federal government by
applying it first to one department and then
TO another, and he hoped it would be applied
TO all of them. 1t was only putting into legal
form what every good business man does in
his business-retain good employees. 1t would
be wise course to apply it TO the city and
then leave the counties TO ask for it hereafter.
They were getting along in the counties now
very well without il.
If there was one thing the people of this
State and country were more interested in
than anything else, it was in an effective, in
telligent administration of public affairs, and
he did not see the necessity of submitting this
to the people when nobody seemed to be
asking for its submission.
