WASHINGTON. Jan. ID, 1897.
TIE Senate did q wise thing when it
defeated the amendment offered tn the
Military appropriation bill appropria-
ting the cost ut transportation of the
West Point Cadets to and from Wash
ingten in order til they might be
allowed to appear IN the Inauguration
day parate. Inthe first place, spending
money for sacha purpose Is an e2tcav-
agance mt any time aud doubly so at
this time wfeu. as Senator Stuart
pointed out, thousands of our people
are in need OF the actual necessities of
life. In the next place, the military
forces Of the government slould not
be allowed TO take any part in tie in
augufaton of Precedent. The pres
ence of the United States troops no
donbt adds to the pleasure of those
who view the parade, but all the same
they ought not IT, be there. It is a
bad Hlea, and the precedent of haviug
Il few I. 5. troops in the parade to give
it variety, " hich we have been setting
in this generations, may sonic day be
taken advantage of by Inscriptions
men by bringing enough OF them To
to Washington to forcibly inaugnrate
some nan who has not goue through
the formality OF being elected BY the

would be Il wise precantion fer. Coug

troops. whether state or national, from
| coming inside the corporate limits of

| The inauguration of u President isn't

CRITICS CORRECTED.

Exaggerated Statements Regarding
Cost of Civil Service Examinations.
officials of the civil service commission
have taken exception to statements re-
ported 10 have been made Wednesday ever
ing at the meeting of the National Repub-
ecan Anti-Civil Service League, to the ef-
Let that it has cost the government an
Average of s214 for each of the 34OO en-
ployes appointed through the commission
and that it would cost sl6.OOO.OOO to ap-
point all the force of the government
through that means.
An official of the commission commenting
on this statement said 10 a Star reporter
today:
The opponents of civil service reform
frequently do not appear to be at all par
ticuiar about the truth of what they say
in regard to the commission provided their
statements are calculated to injure the re-
FORM The fact is. that during a period
OF thirteen years, up to June 30, 1886
there have been appointed through the
commission 4S,421 persons. at total cost
OF S.u2.6So.J1- That would make the aver
age cost of each appointment about $l45O
Inc average cost of appointments under
the commission varies according to the
character of the examinations necessary
IN making selections and the number of
places TO be filed by such examinations.
In 1890 the average cost of persons ap-
pointed was $50, and in 1896 IL was SD 70
Such examinations as the one held to sup
ply the place of supervising architect OF
the treasury, for instance would cost fifty
times as much as an examination to sup
ply Number of people to a minor grade
The examination itself is more expensive
and In one case the whole cost is charge
able TO ons appointment, while In the other
1t Is divided among a large number of ap-
rointments.
Then. too. the cost of making appoint
nents through the American civil service
commission is less than it is in. Great Bri-
tain. While Ii costs something to make
appointments through the civil service COM
mission, l. Is not song in comparison to
what is saved Under the old system every
presidential election meant the introduc-
ton of a large lumber of inexperienced
clerks. who were worthless for some months
and until they learned the work they were
