Washington. For a hundred years the
age of the lofty standard of character
and conduct which be bequeathed to
the American people. 1t is an Inherit
ance which time, instead of wasting II,
continually increases and enriches. We
may justly hope that in the years to
come the benignant influence of the
father Of his country may be even
more potent for good than in the CEN
tury which is drawing to a close. I
have been glad to learn that in many
parts of the country the people will
fittingly observe this historic anniver-
sary.
Presented to this congress are great
opportunities. With them come great
responsibilities. The power conflded to
us Increases the weight of our obliga-
tiOns to the people, and we must be
profoundly sensible to them as we con-
template the new and grave problems
which confront us. Aiming only at the
public good, we cannot err. A right
Interpretation of the peoples will and
Of duty cannot fail to insure wise
measures for the welfare of the islands
which have come under the authority
of the United States and inure to the
common interest and lasting honor of
our country. Never has this nation had
more abundant cause than during the
past year for thankfulness to God for
manifold blessings and mercies, for
which we make reverent acknowledge
ment.

Civil Service.

The executive order of May 3, 1896,
extending the limits of the classified
service brought within the operation
of the civil service law and rules near
ly all of the executive civil service
rules nearly all of the executive civil
service not previously classified.
Some of the inclusions were found
wholly illogical and unsuited to the
work of the several departments. The
application of the rules to many of
the places so included was found to
result in friction and embarrassment,
After long and very careful considera-
tion it became evident to the heads Of
the departments. responsible for their
efficiency, that i'm order to remove these
difficulties and promote an efficient
and harmonious administration, GER
tain amendments were necessary.
These amendments We're promulgated
by me in executive order date 20, 1899.
The principal purpose of the order
was to except from competitive eXami-
nation certain places involving tiduiC-
AIRY responsibilities or duties of
strictly confidential, scientific, or eX
ecutiVe character, which II was thought
might better be filled either by nom
competitive examination, or in the dis
cretiOn of the appointing office, than
by open competition, These places
were comparatively few in number
The order "0vides Cor the filling of a
much larger number OF places, mainly
I'm the outside places of the war depart
ment by what is known al the registra-
tion system under regulations to be ap-
proved by the president similar to
those which have produced such admir-
able results in the navy yards service
All Of the amendments have for their
main object a more efficient and salts
factory administration Of the system
of appointments established by the
civil service law. The results attained
show that under their operat don the
public service has improved and that
the civil service system Is relieved Of
many Objectionable features which
heretofore subjected IL TO just criti-
cism and the administrative officers to
the charge of unbusinosslll;e methods
In the conduct NJ public affairs, II is
believed that the merit system has
been greatly strengthened and it's per-
manence assured, II will be my con-
slant aim in the administration OF
government i'm our new possessions to
make fitness, character and merit es-
sential to appointment TO office, ana
TO give to the capable and deserving in
hsh'tants preference in appointments.

Lynching Condemned.

The rule Of the courts should assure
the public of the prompt trial of those
charged with criminal Offenses, and
upon conviction the punishment should
be commensurate with the enormity
of the crime.
Those who, in disregard of law and
the public peace, unwilling TO await
the judgment of a court and jury, con
stitute themselves judges and eXecu-
TONERS, should not escape the seVeTest
penalties for their crimes.
What / said in my inaugural ad-
dress Of March 4. 1897, / now repeat
THE constituted authorities must be
cheerfully and vigorously upheld
Lynchings must not be tolerated in a
great and civilized country like the
United States. Courts. not mobs, must
execute the penalties of the laws.
The preservation of public order. the
right of discussion, the integrity of
courts and the orderly administration
of Justice must continue forever the
rock of safety upon which our govern
ment securely rests"
