told him he was or his way to see
Quay with a message from Garman.
Mr.. Keck being a republican, explained
his selection thus: "uarman told me

A STEP BACKWARD.
The Civil Service Reform League Protests

Against the Changes.
Washington. Oct. sl.-The Civil Ser
vice Reform League has sent a letter to
the president expressing Its hope that
he will not. as reported in the public
press, withdraw a number OF places
now filled by civil service methods
from the scope Of the civil service rules.
The letter says:
''The league submits for your consid-
GRAFTON the certainty that such changes.
whatever their motive and however
they may be explained by those by
whom they are suggested. will be greet
ed alike by the friends and enemies Of
the merit system As a step backward.
a step the more significant because IL
will be the first step backward avow-
eddy taken by the executive ranch Of
the government since the civil service
law look effect.
THE merit system in our public ad-
ministration has proved Its worth. Ex-
perience has shown that wherever the
hostility Of appointing or governing Of
fcer has not been an impeachment II
has improved the personnel OF the
branches In which Il has been estab-
lished and reduced the public expense.
and while in other branches. where the
rule has not been applied. the case has
often been notably the reverse.
TN the classified force Of the depart
ment service at Washington alone
during the period from 1883 To 1896 the
saving effected annually through an
nounced efficiency has been estimated
in the oficisi reports Of the civil SER
vice commission AT more than 81. 600 900.
We believe the changes. whereby po-
sitions and classes OF positions are now
removed from the classified service
will be accepted not only as n ster
backward. but as proof that the system
In not regarded by the present admin
istration as here and here to stay
