uonaole Results OF this practice. rhe pro-
resSed friends of the farmer, and certainly
the farmers themselves, are naturally eX-
pected to be willing to rid department
devoted to the promotion of farming inter-
estS OF a feature Wnlcn tends SO much to
Its discredit.
The Weather Bureau, now attached to the
department OF grlculture, has continued to
extend Its sphere of usefulness, and by an
uninterrupted improvement in the accu-
racy of Its forecasts has greatly increased
Its efficiency as an aid and protection to
all whose occupations are related to wealth
er conditions.
Omitting further reference to the opera
tions of the department, 1 commend the
Secretary's report and the suggestions it
contains to the careful consideration of
the Congress.
The progress made in civil service reform
FURNISHES cause for the utmost congrat-
uiation. 1t has survived the doubts of its
friends as well as the
CIVIL SERVICE. rancor OF its enemies
and has gained q per
menent place among the agencies destined
to cleanse our politics and to improve,
economizc and elevate the public service.
There are now in the competitive CLASH
he'd service upward or 81 900 places.
More than half Of THESE have been included
from time to time since March 4. 1893. A
most radical and sweeping extension was
made by executive order dated the 9th day
OF May, 1896, and if fourth-claSs postmas-
tershIps are not included In the statement it
may be said that practically all positions
contemplated by the civil service law are
now classified.
Abundant reasons exist for including
these postIna sterships, based upon econ
omy, improved service, and the peace and
quiet OF ncighhorhoods. n, however, OBJ
stacles prevent such action at present, /
earnestly hope that Congress will without
increasing postoffice appropriations, so ad-
just them as to permit in proper cases
consolidation of these postoffices, to the
end that through this process the results de-
sired may to limited extent be accom-
plished.
TIE civil service rules as amended dur
ing the last year provide for sensible
and uniform method of promotion, Dasing
eligibles to better positions upon demon
strated efficiency and faithfulness. The
absence OF liked rules on this subject has
been an inSirIuity in the system more and
more apparent as its other benefits have
been better appreciated.
The advantages OF civil service methods
in their business aspects are too well under
stood to require argument. Their appli-
cation has become necessity to the execu-
tive work of the govc- nnent, but those who
gain positions through the operation or
these methods should be made to under
stand that that bipartisan scheme through
which they receive their appointments
