THE CIVIL SERVICE
W E.AW.

ss The fact that General Grosvenor, of
Ohio. embraced the first opportunity
which offered after the assembling of
Congress to attack the civil service law
and the further fact that his remarks
selicfted applause from the members Of
the House and their friends In the gal
sleries. would make it appear that the
r service has few friends in Republican
circles, and the belief is that Wig
orous war is to be waged against it.,
despite the stand the President has
q taken in Its support.
u Representative Grosvenor admitted
that there are places which ought to be
4 exempt, and that he was glad to go
that far with the President. "cyen If [
am compelled to part company from
him when he says the civil service sys
y tenn has the official sanction OF the
Epeople" General Grosvcnor is at the
head of the spoil hunters, and it need
occasion no surprise if he follows III
his attack of Wednesday last further
b on during. the present session Of Con
gress. But will he succeed IN bring
