From the report OF the United States
civil service eommi ssion. recently
made. Il appears that the number OF
places IN the classified service Is nov
about $1,000. as compared with 1900
al the beginning Of the Cleveland ad-
miuiatration. There are about $1,000
places IN the unelasslhed service. Of
which number the commission oonsid.
ers 1900 elassinable. OF these. about
$1,000 are postmasieu Of the fourth
class. Dismissals may be made a. froe-
y from the classified o. from the un-
classified service. but the political mo-
tive Is wanting because new appoint
ments must be made by competitive az
aminaiiona Il Is significant therefore
that during the past four yean about
per cent only Of the employees IN the
classified service have been removed.
while the removals In the unelasslaed
service were about 50 per cent.
