RIGHT OF REMOVAL WINS.
Important Civil Service Case Decided
Blow for Civil Service.

Blow for civil Service.
WASHINGTON. Sept. l~j.--Judge Coke
OF the supreme court of the district of
Columbia to-day dismissed the bill of
complaint of John G.. Wood, superin.
tendent Of mails at Louisville. praying
that Postmaster General Gray and
Assistant Postmaster General Heath
be enjoined from removing him from
office.
The case had been considered in the
nature OF a test of the power Of re-
moval and the delivery of the opinion
drew to the courtroom many public
officials, including members Of the
civil service commission.
Judge Coxe's decision wa an elabor.
ate review of the law bearing on re.
movals of federal employees. He held
at the outset that 1t was not within
the power of the court Of equity to
grant relief in matters Of appointment
and removal from Office. Then TAKING
up the merits of the case, he stated
that 1t was n settled law that the
power OF removal was incident to the
power of appointment, and that both
could be exercised by the head of a
department In reference to subord.
mate officials.
Concerning the civil service law.
Judge Coke held that it must not be
construed to grant authority, either
to the civil service commission or to
n President, to make rules contrary
to the law itself, or Of a legislative
character. He quoted with approval
the decision of Justice Brewer that
Congress could not delegate its power
to legislate to any administrative
body.
The decision sums up rs follows:
IL know of nothing more important
% the interests of the country than
the policy which the civil service leg.
islation was intended to initiate and
promote, and it is perhaps a matter Of
great regret that the act of January
III, 1888 tthe civil service act) has not
gone further than it does. But it is
my duty to construe it as 1t Is.
ITO sum up, | concluded that, apart
from the civil service act, the post.
master genera mad the authority to
remove the complainant from office at
his pleasure; that this law makes no
change in this respect, except to for.
bid removals for refusal to contribute
to partisan objects; that the power
given to the commission and the pres
ident to establish rules to carry that
act into effect does not authorize any
rule which shall make a change in the
law in this respect; and consequently
that, even il this court had jurisdic.
ton in a case like the present one, the
complainant Is not entitled to the re.
lief prayed"
1t is probable that an appeal will be
AXE from the decision and It is said
that ultimately the United States SUI.
preme court will be asked to pass
upon the question involved.
