these promotions call for sixteen examina-

Regular officers laugh at the examina-

funny idea to have an officer stand an
examination every time he is advanced a.

them as particularly absurd was the way

The Civil Service.

The executive order of May 6, 1885, ex-
tending the limits of the CLASSIFIED SER
vice, brought within the operation Of the
civil service law and rules nearly all OF
the executive civil service not previously
some of the incluslons were found
wholly illogical and unsuited TO the work
of the several departments The applica-
ton IF the rules TO many or the places so
included was found 10 result in friction
and embarrassment. After long and very
careful consideration ii became evident
to the heads of the departments, respon-
sible for their efficiency, that in order to
remove these difficulties and promote an
efficient ana harmonious administration
certain amendments were necessary.
These amendments were promulgated by
me in executive order dated May %, 1899.
The principal purpose OF the order was
to except from competitive examination
certain places involving fiduciary respon-
tial, scientific, or executive character
which IL was thought might better be
filled either by non-compettive examina-
ton or in the direction of the appointing
officer than by open competition These
places were comparatively rev In NUNS
Der. The order provides for the filing
of u much larger number of places, main
ly I'm the outside service of the war de-
partnent, by what Is known as the regis
tration system, under regulations TO be
approved by the president. similar to
those which have produced such admir-
able results i'm the navy yard service.
All Of the amendments had for their
main object a more ofnciont ana SatlS-
factory administration Of the system of
appointments established by the civil SER
vice law. Tho results attained show that
under their operation the. public service
has improved and that the civil servica
system Is relieved of many Objectionable
features which heretofore subjected II to
Just criticism and the administrative Of
icers to the charge of unbuslnesslike
methods in the conduct OF public affairs.
II Is believed that the merit system has
been greatly strengthened and It's per-
manence assured. II will be my constant
aim in the administration of government
ness, character and merit essential 10
