ment at the front: each has done his duty
welt for twenty years that I have known
them intimately.
Heaven help the service when such men as
these are put out to make room for papa
the senator's boys. for 1t is on men such
as these that the responsibility for the
proper performance Of the work Of the de-
partment rests.
This is no fancy sketch, but the story as
see 1t from day to day. and I know OF no
better way to conclude than to add the
following from the last report of faithful
public man since gone to his reward:
my oflciaI life will soon end; have no
personal motives to serve, and can there
fore afford. and feel constrained without
fear OF demagogues. who hope to make
party capital at the peoples expense. to tell
the honest truth as 1t has forced conviction
upon my mind, after long experience and
close observation of the workings of the
public service. The conclusion arrived at
Is. that no real. radical reform in the civil
service can be hoped for unti the holding
ferring honor upon the possessor, and the
Office holder be an honor to the people he
represents and serves. This, 1t Is believed.
can only be brought about by the payment
Of such salaries as viii draw into the public
service from the more lucrative pursuits
Of private life competent and honest men,
every way fit for and worthy of places of
honor and trust.
until demagogues and hypocritical
party press shall cease their ciaInor for
reduction OF salaries, and until LEGISLATORS
shall learn not to be spenny-wtse and
pound foolish there will be little hope for
thorough reform In the civil service Of
the government Another evii h the cry
for reduction Of the working force In the
public ofhees. The truth Is. that the num-
her OF clerks In many OF the Offices is made
quate to the safe conduct OF the pubic
