seek to evade its provisions.

cabinet and of either house OF congress who
also desire to preserve and extend the merit

The league demands that the employees OF
the census bureau be selected for merit and
fitness. to be determined by fair, practical and
thorough competitive examinations under the
direction Of the civil service commission.
With the warning example of the last census
before its eyes, 1t protests against any enact
ment which may prevent or impede such
selection, as involving scandalous waste OF
money and sacrifice of the country's in
terest. 1t were better to have no census at
all in 1900 than one taken by incompetent
or untrustworthy political prOteges, selected
according To the we'll known methods of So
called practical politics.
The league renews It's previous declarations
in favor OF the repeal of the law prescribing
four year terms for many federal offices. the
extension Of the merit system to the consular
service and the municipal civil service OF the
District of Columbia, and the consolidation
of outlying with central pOstoffces. 1t ex-
pressy disclaims any advocacy OF civil serv-
ice pension a part OF the merit system,
which contemplates such pensions no more
than did the system or appointment ana re-
moval by favor, prevailing before the merit
system was introduced; the contrary. the
protection which an assured tenure during
efficiency affords to public servants, should
enable them by the exercise OF the frugallty
and forethought displayed by all prudent per-
sons provide out of their current earnings
for the ordinary contingencies of age and In
