at that time had no real style or ideas of
their own, but who, when they saw what
the Greeks were doing, invented ways and

methods; hence originated the Roman
style. The Greeks made everything square

not only improved the form, but elaborat-

principal orders of architecture used by
the Greeks-the Doric, the Ionic and the
Corinthian. These were developed to their
best and highest state. They simply could
not be improved and still stand as exam

The EXecatire order of May s, 1896,

service brought within the operation
of the civil service law and rules near.
ly all of the Exc utive civil service
not previously class lied.
Some of the iHcusions were found
wholly illogical ard unsuited to the
work of the several departments, the
applications Of th2 rules to many Of
the places so included was found to
result in friction and embarrassment
After long and verr careful considera,
tion it became evident to the heads Of
the departments responsible for their
efficiency that in order to remove
these difficulties and promote an eff
cient and harmonious administration
certain amendments were necessary.
These amendments were promulgated
by me in Executive order dated May
30, 1899.
The principal purpose of the order
was to except from competitive exam
ination certain places involving tidu-
ciary responsibilities or duties of
strictly confidential scientific or exec
utive character, which it was thought
might be better filed were there no
competitive examination in the dis
cretion of the appointing officer than
by open competition. These places
were comparatively few in number.
The order provides for the filling of
much larger number of places, mainly
in the outside service of the War De.
partment, by which is known as the
registration system, under regulations
to be approved by the President, SINH
lar to those which have produced
such admirable results in the navy
yard service.
All of the amendments had for their
main object a more efficient and sat
isfactory administration Of the system
of appointments established by the
civil service law. The results attained
show that under this operation the
public service has improved, and that
the civil service system is relieved of
many Objectionable features which
heretofore subjected it to just criti-
cism and the administrative officers to
the charge of unbusinesslike methods
in the conduct of public affairs.

Alaska Needs LEGISLATION.

In acountry sparsely inhabited by civ
.lized people and Unimportant in trade
and production, as was Alaska at the
time this act was passed. The increase
IN population by immigration during
the last few years, consequent upon the
discovery of gold, has produced such
condition as calls for more ample
facilities for local self government and
more numerous conveniences of civil

Gold Standard.

I urgently recommend that to sup
port the existing gold standard and to
maintain "the parity in value of the
coins of the two metals (gold and sill
ver) and the equal power of every dol
lar at all times in the market and in
the payment of debts" the Secretary Of
the Treasury be given additional pow
er and charged with the duty to sell
United States bonds and to employ
such other effective means as may be
necessary to those ends. The authority
should include the power to sell bonds
on long and short time, as conditions
may require, and should provide for
a rate of interest lower than that fixed
by the act of January IA, 1875.

New Banking Law.

In its earlier history. the National
Banking act seemed to prove a reason
able avenue through which needful ad-
ditions to the circulation could from
time to time be made. Changing condi-
tions have apparently rendered it in
operative to that end. The high mar
gin in bond securities required, result
ing from large premiums which gov
arnment bonds command in the market
or the tax on note issues, or both
operating together, appear to be the
influences which impair it's public util-
tty.
The attention of Congress is respect
fully invited to this important matter
with the view Of ascertaining whether
Or not such reasonable modifc jtions
2an be made in the National Banking
act as will render its service in the par
ticulars here referred to more respon-
sive to the peoples needs. l again urge
