New York Aug. 2G.--'The usual warning

issued in the form Of letter by the Civil
Service Reform Association. The letter is
as follows signed by Elliot II. Goodwin.
secretary:
Dear Sir:--In view Of the approach Of
the national and state Camraisn | would
ask on behalf of the Civil Service Reform
Association the cooperation Of heads Of
Il, rartmentS in calling the attention of
civil employees TO the stringent provisions
of the civil service law in regard to
political assessments. 1t is relieved that
if it were once generally understood that
n request for payment of political con
trilrItiOn made to a civil employe. or the
sending or presenting of a political CON
trildItion to an officer or cmploye, conSti-
tuteS a mistiemeanor under the civil ser
vice law il would go far toward putting
an elii to this abuse. / inclOse herewith 4
copy Of the provisions Of the civil service
law prohibiting n1litical assessments. and
would respectfully ask that they may be
posed III II cOiSpl nous place i'll your de-
partmert during thu campaign.
The section Of tile. civil service law an
plying here declares that no person in the
service shall he affected in any way by
refusing to contribute to the campaign
fund II declares. moreover, thai no civil
service employee shall he subject in any
way to assessment for such purpose. and
to seek to influence such an employe to
make a contribution is a misdemcanor.
