DURING FISCAL YEAR
FULLY SET FORTH IN THE COM
MISSIONS ANNUAL REPORT.
Competitive System Strengthened and
q the Sphere of Political Influence
Diminished Materially.

During the fiscal year ended June 80, 1902,
many important changes were made in the
rules governing the civil service which have
materially diminished the sphere Of political
influence in appointments and strengthened
the competitive system. Among these
changes, which are embodied in the annual
report of the civil service commission, to be
submitted to President Roosevelt within
day or so, are the following:
Indian Agents.
In recent years it has been the policy Of
the Indian commissioner to abandon the
reservation system wherever practicable
and to give the Indian children industrial
training; and number of Indian agencies
have been discontinued. The law provides
that in such case the commissioner, with
the approval of the Secretary of the In
terror, may devolve the duties of the agency
upon the superintendent of the Indian
school. On November 26, 1901, the rules
were amended so as to provide that when
ever this was done the agent might, in the
discretion of the Secretary, be given po-
sition in the classified service, so that ell
cient agents could be retained and receive
more permanent status than they would
otherwise have.
Apportionment. .,
The apportionment of appointments
among the different states and territories
had been considerably affected by a rule
requiring the civil service commission in all
cases of transfers to waive such apportion-
ment upon certificate by the appointing
officer that the transfer was required in the
interests Of good administration. The COM
mission received many such certificates In
cases where the positions could be regular
ly filled from the ordinary examina tons,
and there was evidence showing the pos
session of any special knowledge or skill
by the person to be transferred or other
special circumstances requiring the transfer.
Some of these transfers were sought for the
mere convenience of the person to be trans
ferred. and were requested at the solicita-
ton of others rather than for the good Of
the service, and the purpose Of securing
just apportionment among the states was
thereby defeated. An amendment was
therefore recommended requiring that the
reasons for waving the apportionment
should be set forth in detail and that the
certificate should be subject to the approval
Of the commission. This amendment was
made November %. 1901, and the number of
transfers made in disregard of the proper
apportionment has thereby been materially
restricted.

improper reasons has since been brought to
the attention of the commission. The COM
mission, on the contrary, believes that even
under the present construction far greater
number of employees who ought to be re-
moved will be retained in the service than
the number of removals of those who ought
to be retained. Appointing officers are usu-
ally very reluctant to make removals which
involve hardship upon the persons removed.
: The commission explains that July 3, 1902.
the President amended Rule XII by adding
provision that no recommendation for the
promotion of any employe should be con-
sidered unless 1T were made by the officer
under whose supervision such employee was
serving, and that such recommendation, if
made with the knowledge and consent of
the employe, should be sufficient cause for
debarring him from the promotion, and
repetition of the offense for removing him
from the service. On the same day it was
provided that persons in the employ of the
United States in the military government of
Cuba not eligible for retention in the CLASH
fled service under existing rules, but who
had been specially commended for appoint
ment by the chiefs of their respective de-
partments, with the approval of the Secre-
tary of War, because of efficient services
rendered under conditions of personal dan
ger from yellow fever and other tropical
diseases. and whose names were embraced
on list furnished to the civil service COM
mission by the War Department, might be
retained and appointed to positions of a
grade corresponding to that which they
consent and approval of the commission.
On the same day the President ordered that
appointments OF all unclassified laborers in
the several departments and independent
offices should be made in accordance with
regulations to be approved and promul-
gated by the heads of the several depart
ments and offices and the civil service COM
mission Regulations have been according
ly adopted. These matters however, &C.

o Gen. Nicholson a Hindoo Deity.
n the New York Commercial Advertiser.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Though only now steps are being tardily
taken by his countrymen to erect a monu-
ment to General Nicholson, that hero of
the indian mutiny is assured of remem-
brance outlasting that which any bronze
or marble can give. for he has been en-
shrined In the folklore or mythology of
India. None ever attained a higher ideal
Of an Engiishman than Brgadier General
John Nicholson, and to the people of India
he was the model of a man and a soldier.
Their devotion to him in his life passed into
alteration on his death. AS Nikal Seyn he
is actually worshiped in some villages of
the Punjab, and both there and over the
northwest border his heroic deeds and noble
life are sung to this day. "Ahi Nikal Sewn
is dead-he died before Delhi Lances of
north take vengeance for Nikal Seyn" is
the beginning of the waiing recitation
which will carry his name to posterity.

FIND PROFIT IN TEARS.
Swindlers Don't Believe It Pays to
Wear Smiling Faces.

From the Baltimore American.
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
weep and you weep alone" is a fallacy so
far as the criminal world Is concerned. 1t
is said that no matter how long or how
loudly man is able TO laugh he is never so
formidable a criminal as he who can weep
at will.
The arrest in Chicago a few days ago of
c. B. La Sale Of Kalamazoo, Mich, calls
attention TO this fact in criminal psychol-
ogy. La Sale. who ordinarily was of a
cheerful, happy turn of mind, was accused
OF no wrongdoing so long as he contented
himself with smiling. But whenever he
wept oopiously there was always an after
math of accusations of forgery. According

Withholding Salaries.

Prior to December IL, 1901, the commits
sion frequently experienced great difficulty
In securing any remedy for violations of the
civil service act, since its power to correct
and punish such violations was limited to
Its power to investigate and report to the
head of the proper department, and unless
ne supplied the proper remedy the i'll gal
appointee remained in the service. To
prevent the continuance in public service of
persons thus irregularly appointed, the COM
mission recommended a rule providing that
whenever it should find that person was
holding position in violation of the act
and rules, it should, after notice to him and
an opportunity for explanation, certify in
formation of such violation to the head of
the department or office, and then, If such
person were not dismissed within thirty
days, to the proper disbursing and auditing
officers, who should not thereafter pay or
permit to be paid any salary or wages ac-
cruing after such certificate had been re-
ceived by them. This amendment was
adopted December IL, 1901, and since it's
adoption the commission has not found it
necessary in any case to take action in ac-
cordance with its provisions.

Big Price for Walnut Stumps.
From the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American.
Old walnut stumps are on a boom
throughout Tennessee. Stumps that have
remained unnoticed for years and were re-
garded as worthless are now eagerly sought
after at prices that seem almost fabulous
An Indiana concern has had men travelling
over the country buying every old walnut
stump that could be found. At first the
prices paid were small, but as the eyes Of
the stick timber folks began to open the
prices went higher and higher, until now
they are out of sight, and the funny part
about it is that the ugler. knottier and
more unsightly the stump the more money
it will bring. The stump Of a walnut tree
that was. cut down several years ago
brought more than the whole of the tree.
tits stated that the stumps are made into
veneering material and used in the manu-
;facture of high grade furniture.

Testimony in Investigations.

The civil service commission has repeated
ly called attention to the inherent weak-
ness Of its power to investigate alleged vio-
lations Of the civil service law owing to it's
lack of ability to compel testimony. To
remedy this defect an amendment was
adopted on December II, 1901, making ii
the duty Of officers and employees in the
public service to give to the commission all
proper and competent information and res-
tImony, and to subscribe and make oath to
the same. If they fail to do this they are
liable to dismissal from the service. and in
one case an employe was removed for this
reason. Since this amendment was passed
there has been little difficulty in securing
evidence from officers and employees of the
government.
