REGULATING HIS PARTY.

4 good deal of feeling is said to exist i'll Ken

the Democrats there what they should do about

impertInence and declare that Kentucky Demo

4 DANGER TO THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

4 DANGER TO THE PUBLIC SEh|itE.
Tho State Civil Service Commission utters
timely warning against the danger that lies IN
the proposal to amend the state constitution
so as to extend the preference now given 10
veterans of the Civil War TO the veterans botn
regulars and volunteers. OF the war WIN Slalii'
of the Philippine campaign and of the Peking
pypediti0n Agitation for such an amendment
is carried on at every legislative session. and
unless there is a full realization OF its consc-
ouences there is a possibility that it may finally
90 through If such a preference Is e&tendeu
if will make a farce of the merit system OF ap-
pnintmpnts in this state for many years To come
More persons entered the federal service III the
WAR with Spain from the national guard alone
than there are now in the entire CIVIL Service
of the state and the classified counties. Be
sides there are the regulars in this state ana
the thousands of volunteers who served i'll the
Philippines or in China. II the prelereh'e

animation have demonstrated better quailnca-
tfons than he and. ones appointed his dismissal

such difficulties as to he wellnlgh Imposslole
Extending the preference to these recent VET
Grams would be loading the civil Service WIFI
inferior and perhaps almost incompetent NEIL
and it would result in the decentralization OF
public administration.
The case of these recent veterans does not
run on all fours with that of the CIVll war
survivors The latter are now aged men, ana
do not take the examination in such numbers
as seriously to impede the operation OF the
merit system. They had more unusual claims
upon the public gratitude. The war that most
of these younger veterans went through was
, n holiday compared to that in which the soldiers
of 1876 served.
The granting of a preference to those VINO
served in the recent wars shonld he firmly re-
sisted It would be a calamity to the puhhc
service The public demand now IS Tor reform
rules 10 promote greater efficiency TINS pro-
nosed change would result in distinctly less
efficiency.

Mr.. Dickinson has been a prominent
figure in the affairs of this county
for a number of years, and stands
high in the esteem of his fellow citi-

been chronic seeker after office, al
though he has been active in politics,
