CIVIL SERVICE.

What we say on this subject will be
confined to civil service as applies to
the Internal Revenue service. As
some Republicans may be expecting
a place in the Revenue service under
the new administration, it might be
well for them to know what is neces-.
sary to obtain such a place. 1t would
be well also, for the people at large,
to have some knowledge on this sub,
ject, which is not known by the ma.
jority of our citizens. Applicants for
places IN the Internal Revenue SER
vice must be citizens of the United
States; for position of Deputy Collec-
tor, guager, storekeeper and store
keeper-guager combined, the appli>
cant must be over 81 years Of age;
applicants for clerkships must be
over IS.
All employees in the Internal Rev~
enue services must give bond, with
the exceptions Of clerks and messen-
gers.
Before an appointment can be Sc
cured the applicant must pass an ex-
animation on the following subjects:
OrthOgraPhy, penmanship, copying,
letter-wnting and special arithmetic.
An average per cent of seventy
must be obtained by the applicant,
unless he be one who has been honor
ably discharged from the Military or
Naval service by reason of disability
resulting from wounds or sickness ins
Cured in the line of duty; the latter
being required to obtain grade Of 65
per cent.
Semi annual examinations are
held in each Revenue District on the
third Saturday of March and Sep
TENDER 10 each year.
After an examination The names of
those obtaining the required average
are placed on the list as eliglbles, in
the order of their grades. THIS list Is
kept at headquarters in Washington.
In the event a Collector wishes to
make an appointment he signifies his
intention to the Civil Service Com
mission at Washington and the names
OF those who stand the highest on the
list are sent to him by the Commits
aOners; from these three the APP
pointment must be made. In apply
ing for place in the Internal Reve-
nue. service it is useless to obtain the
endorsement OF some prominent Re,
publioans, because the appointment
is made on the merit OF the appli~
cant's examination.
To besure hemust be recommended
as to his honesty and physical ability
to Fl | the position for which he as,
pires. As long as the civil service
rules are enforced recommendations
go for naught
President Mckinley has shown a
to adhere to the civil serv,
ice rules, aad already many pie.hunt.
ers have been disappointed.

1t is the old story of slowly climb.
ing a very steep hill. Through
steady increasing" says Dun's Re-
view, business still is much below
its volume in former years OF pros
perity." In 1892 we were upon a
pinnacle whence we surveyed the
world and counted the greater part as
tributary to our prosperity. We
made one stupendous blunder, and
almost instantly fell into a slough OF
dependency and adversely, 1t will
take time and labor and favorable
circumsnce to regain our former
position of supremacy. But we are
climbing upward, slowly, it is true
but nevertheless perceptibly.
It is a good sign that men again
are borrowing money for use in in
dustrial enterprises, Nothing eau be
more indicative OF revival of con-
idence. There is quite an increase
OF activity In the dry goods and iron
trades, and these are sure barometers
of commerce. The wool trade is more
brisk than at any period since the
repeal ofthe Mckinley tariff, and
brices tend upward. Wheat too has
advanced in price, though the de.
mand has not been unusually great.
There is quite notable decrease in
the number of failures. The stock
market has been irregular, but the
weeks average does not indicate a
decline Of confidence.
Chicago has had its share Of the
gains OF the week. Dun's Review
states that contracts for several
great buildings are pending. and for
material for a good many bridges and
other railway works. The record is
encouraging, if not satisfactory.

The general conduct of the new
administration is quite an improve
ment on the old, as far as the trans
action of business Is concerned. 1t
took the Democratic party four years
in which do worse than nothing. The
new administration will do more dur
ing the short term of an extra session
than Mr.. Cleveland's administration
did IN four disastrous years, in that it
will pass tariff law, which will ia,
fuse renewed life into all the channels
of trade and revive our business inter.
ests generally.

No colored voter should pay any
heed to the efforts of our esteemed
contemporary, to create dissension IN
the ranks of the colored voters. We
are all used to that sort of thing. Our
esteemed contemporary is expected to
take "spells" over this matter from
time to time, but it is fully understood
that they are harmless, unless it be to
the Herald itself. We have always
had a faint suspicion that the Herald
is a little worse after than before
taking.
