LETTER

the Nations Capital City
A STORM BREWING
President and Congress Likely
to Have a TiIt..New Spring.
field Rifle.

Washington, d. O., Jan. 90 -Presi-
dent Roosevelt is now getting along
very amicably with the senate and
the house in matters of patronage.
There is no present indication of q
serious disagreement with members
Of either body in the matter Of ap-
point1nents to otice. Notwithstanding
this little storm is brewing over the
presidents strict adherence to.the prin-
ciples of civil service reform. The
storm will not come because of the
presidents iRsistence that the rules
Of the civil service commission shall
be rigidly enforced, or will it arise
because he has closed almost every
avenue Of entrance to the government
service, every underground passage,
without civil service examination, but
because the president does not want
the present employees of the census
bureau taken bodily into the civil
service when the bureau is made per-
manent.
The house proposes that every GEN.
sus clerk employed at the time the
census bureau is made permanent
shall be Immediately classified. The
president holds that this will be de-
trimental to the service, inasmuch as
under the rules census clerks can be
detained for work in other depart.
ments. As opposition seems to be
rather to the principle involved in
adding 600 or more clerks to the clas-
sified service; clerks who were ap.
pointed solely through political infu.
ence than to the efficiency Of the Gen.
sas bureau clerical force. The latter
has, under the administration Of Di'
rector Merriam, become most efficient
and compares favorably with the
! clerks seoared by civil service exami
nation. It is understood that the
president will veto the bill making
the census bureau permanent if il
contains the provision for classifying
present employees. Members of .ht
house, regardless Of party, naturally
want the census clerks classified, fol
every old member of the house, ant
senate ss well, as one or more of hi
constituents employed in that ofHce
Il is understood the president is try
ing to influence members of the cen
sus committee to omit the classified
ton provision in the census bill. I
is not likely that he will succeed, be
cause one Of the reasons that beai
most weight with many members il
supporting this bill is the fact that i
win make permanent positions 70
constituents. Should the bill pas
both houses and be vetoed by tn,
president it will be decidedly inter
esting to see IL it oan be passed owe
his veto. That seems unlikely, be
cause many senator's would be timi'
about safeguarding the president b,
overriding his veto.
