committee has at command much valuable m-
formation In experience under the Mckinley act
where the new duties adopted are substantially
the same as those of that act.
One thing Is clear to all who have investigated
the subject, that the pending bill cannot be ex'
pected in its present form TO yield large sur
plus revenue at first. The Senate Finance Com
mittee indicates that this is its Judgment by
proposing the unusual tax on sales OF securities
which, 1t Is estimated, will yield $1O,Ooo'Vo'
more or less. But the committee can properly
answer that the Senate itself has rendered
necessary about as much addition to the reve'
nue. by the few votes which put bags and bag
ging, burlaps and cotton ties on the free list.
If the conference committee should succeed IN
restoring the House duties on these articles II Is
possible that the measure might safely De

tlonal internal taxes though Of course the COM
putations may not yet be so complete as 10

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

The new Civil Service rules appear admirably
adapted to the purpose for which they are
drafted. They not only take the starch out OF
the fabric. but fill 1t as full Of holes as Troy
| laundry could do The result Is garment OF
exceedingly easy fit and abundant ventilation
for the use of appointing officers.
Nevertheless, the very opportunities arranged
for spoilsmen make It hereafter perfectly pos
sible TO classify State officers this issue The
men who wish to conduct their departments for
the public benefit will leave all examinations
IN the hands of the Civil Service Commission.
Those who assume the examining function
themselves will thereby exhibit themselves as
wanting to get around the law and select subor-
dinates ON some other basis than that OF I'M
personal competition. The pretence Of the Com
missions examination for fitness not being
odeouote is too transparent for belief. The
action Of department heads in New-YOrk and
Rrooklyn some Of whom have by no means
ranked as Civil Service reformers, asking the
commissions to certify candidates IN the old
way so that they might be sure OF the best
men and be saved annoyance, is conclusive an
swer to the assertion that good officers have
trouble in getting the kind Of men they want.
The separate examination for fitness" does
nothing, and IS intended to do nothing, but give
the amounting power a chance to reward favor
ties The regulations are ceverly cCntrved to
that end The examination Is taken from an
,mpersona body and given to an interested
officer. lie has power so to mark favorite as
entirely to offset the tests Of the previous ex-
animation. and If he knows the "mert" per-
centagcs he can so juggle the fitness" figures
as TO bring any name he wishes to the top.
One Of the most unpleasant Incidents OF the
double examination system Is the annoyance
which will be caused to applicants. 1t does not
mean simply that an examination for merit
and one for fitness" being passed, the candi-
date waits his turn, but that after passing the
merit test he must qualify for fitness" anew
every time an appointment in his class Is to be
made; so that he may go through dozen such
trials and have a high rating for fitness" In
each one before he gets an appointment. This
is nothing less than hardship The new rules
are also an injustice to the many people who
have already prepared themselves for the pub
lie service and have been waiting their turn I'M
der assurance of places when vacancies oc
Cured A position on an eligible list is virtu-
ally vested right, and candidates may Justly
complain at being compelled to pass series
of extra examinations to get work which they
have already earned. The new rules throw
upon State officials the responsibility for their
own craftsmanship Those who wish can still
keep the merit system working reality. Those
whose departments are managed for spells will
