CIVIL SERVICE.
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY CHARGED
WITH INSINCERITY.
Dy Telegraph to virginian-P ilot.)

NISy ISiSSidpi W NlISIHiuH- GllOl.)
Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 15.-At the
business session OF the National Civil
Service League to-day all the old Off
GERS were reelected, and resolutions
which read in part as follows, were
adopted:
THE league regards the order issued
by the President on the Goth of May
last, withdrawing several thousand
places from the classified service and
relaxing the rules intended to prevent
evasions of the law as the first unmis-
taxable backward step taken by the
Federal Administrn ton since the civil
service law was passed.
The injurious effects of this. order
have already been seen in the demorall-
cation in many parts of the Federal
service; the encouragement of the enc
mics of reform in their efforts to Grip
PIE the merit system and secure a fur
ther reiaXation'of the rules, and in the
widespread distrust Of the promises Of
the President and the party in power to
enforce and extend the civil service
law.
I'VE also regret that the President
has not yet fulfilled the assurance given
by him to committee of the League OF
his intention to include in the classified
service much larger number of places
than those withdrawn, but on the con.
trary has included none whatever. we
venture to hope that such extensions
may yet be made al no distant day"

fort 20 have it acted upon at this
