Senator Quay is hot on the trail of the
civil service law. He introduced long
petition in opposition to the law the
other day, and yesterday he came for
ward with several amendments, which
will have the effect, if passed, of cur
failing the patronage of the Civil Service
Commission. He wants collectors
storekeepers, and guagers in the Inter
nal Revenue Service, and examining
surgeons in the Pension Bureau ex-
empted from the operations Of the
classified service. He would also have
special Indian agents appointed by the
president, with the advice and consent
of the senate, instead of by the Civil
Service Commission, as now is the case.
