ton the blacksmith asked father TO try
his hand on the other animal which he
did. The blacksmith then said These

President Mckinley has taken a

President Mckinley has taken a dis
tinct step forward on the lines of civil
service reform. He has amended the
civil service rules in the way to make
them most effective, In way to effec-
tually remove the public service from
the domain of partisanship, Our
civil service rules, falling to secure
tenure of office to the efficient clerk,
failing to make continuance in Office
department on merit, leaving Office
holders not only liable to dismissal
on the ground OF inetiiciency, but
upon no other ground that change
OF administration and the desire to
make place for some partisan, have
ALI long been Intellectual, indeed Of
ten little better than farcical. The
civil service examinations to guard
the entrance to the appolntive places
have not taken such places from with
out the domain OF partisanship,
neither have they served to Insure ef-
fclent service. 1t is next tosimpossible
to prove q mans fitness for a place by
examinations, however we'll condue-
ted. His fitness or unfitness can only
be proven by trial, and when a man
has proven such fitness, proven his ca
pacity for his allotted task. his place
should be Injured TO him so long as
he continues TO do his work with ef.
tciency.
1t is not much TO say that the
Presidents actionin putting all ap-
polntees Of the government, who haye
gained their places by competitive ex.
animation, beyond the danger OF sum
mary dismissal without cause, and In
insuring them against removal
for only political reasons, is the
most distinct step forward in civil
service reform that has been made
