CIVIL SERVICE.
The last topic treated I'm the meAaagp
Is the civil service. which the president
says. has OF late years received increas-
ed legislative and executive approval.
During the past few months the service
has been placed upon a stnl firmcr basis
OF personal merit. The right OF veteran
soldiers to reinstatement has been as
serted. dismissals for political reasons
have been carefully guarded against. the
examinations improved and made moro
practical. and a distinct advance has
been made by giving a hearing before
dismissal. upon charges OF Incompetent
cy. This last has I'm no way impaired
the power OF removal. which Is one or
the vital safeguards OF the civil service
system. Much remains to be accom-
plished to make this system reasonably
perfect. There are places now In the
service which ought To be exempted from
