Hts Annual Report Submitted to the
Observation-Disclosures of Rules.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE annual re-
port of the Cvil-service Commission for the
fiscal year ended June 20, 1897, has been pre-
scented to the President. 1t begins with
statement to show that after an experience
of nearly fifteen years the hopes of the adj
vocates of the cvil-service law have been
largely realized. In practice the law has
proved to be a constantly exerted and ef-
fective force in the direction of economy.
Considering the few changes in the service
under the merit system and the wholesale
removals under the patronage system, the
economy and efficiency of the one stand in
striking contrast to the extravaganza and
inefficiency of the other. During the five
years the classification exempted the New
York custom house there were 1878 re-
movals, while for the two years ended June
80 last there were but 10l removals and six
ty designations. In the entire civil service
during the last five years at least 20 per
cent. of those occupying unclassified posi-
tons We're removed while in the CLASSIFIED
competitive service not more than per
cent. of separations occurred.
Since 1888 Ohe year of the organization
of the commission) the unclassifed posi-
tons which have been subject 10 pontlcal
control have increased in number - per
cent. and in cost 43 per cent, While the
classified positions subject to examinations
have remained at standstill. The large
extension of the civii-service rules in May,
1896, to include positions hitherto unclassi-
fed, has, the report says, brought TO llgnt
Il number of unnecessary positions. A num-
Der of these have been abolished, as
measure of economy. The whole number
of persons examined during the year was
49.1i5. of whom 2S,59S passed. The number
of appointments were 4,136. The .commls-
sion. the report says, has been steadlly
making its examinations more practical.
Numerous complaints have been made OF
violations of the rules of the civil service
in the Treasury Department. the Depart
ment of Justice and the Interior Depart
ment In each case examinations have been
made by representatives of the commission,
and such cases as appeared to be violations
of the law were referred to the department
to which it belonged. In each case the com
mission has not yet received reply The
report speaks highly of the promotion sys-
tenn, based on the efficiency record. This
has been specially Endorsed by the Navy
Department in the work In the yards. On
the other hand. the commission deprecates
the proposition of limited tenure of govern
ment office, pointing out that it would not
only impair the efficiency of the service but
open the door for political influence.
