CIVIL SERVICE EXEMPTION.
About Three Hundred Places Will He
Opened up Again.

Opened up again.
Washington. ID. g., July 1O.-Tbe
President and the members OF the civi,
service commission have had number
OF conferences recently on the question
of n revision of the civil service rules
so as to exempt certain important
places which We're included in Mr..
Cleveland's last extension order. A final
determination. however, has not been
reached. but 1t is altogether probable
that about 300 places will be taken out
Of the classified services. These will
include deputy collectors of customs
who are in charge OF sub-stations and
deputy collectors of internal revenue
who have charge of the distribution of
revenue stamps. There are approx
mately $50 places in each class. 1t is
not proposed. however. to exempt the
places from examination. The ap-
pointee will be ordered before the civil
service commission for examination.
and In case OF failure his name must
be withdrawn and another appoint
meDt made. 1t is argued that the posi-
tiOns which ii il proposed to restore to
the excepted list are of great importa-
ance and as the stations OF the officers
are often far removed from their chief,
who alone is responsible for their acts.
he should have some voice in their Sc
lection. The bonds furnished the gov
ernment by collectors OF customs and
collectors Of internal revenue cover all
bonds passing through the hands OF
agents and deputies. and II is contend
ed that 1t is unjust TO hold collector
personally responsible for the honesty
of man of whom he knows nothing.
1t ID probable the President will take
action In the matter within the next
few days.

The reckless way in which proper

toned and discussed in public places
brings shame to every self-respecting
listener, and in at least one i&stance
resulted in merited rebuke. In Chi
cago street car not long ago woman
who had heard with manifest annoy
ance the conversation Of some persons
opposite. leaned over and arresting the
attention of one of the speakers said
In a cool and distinct voice, Il beg your
pardon. but you have been discussing
the private affairs Of my son and his
family for the benefit of this car. l
wish to tell you that, aside from its
being such an ill-bred thing to do. there
is not word of truth in anything you
have said about them. and you would
oblige me much If you would let the
affairs of my family alone in the fu-
ture." One hopes that the chagrin Of
the situation worked reformation ip
the habits OF at least two occupants
of that car.
