The Civil Service Tangle.

It is not to be expected that Mayor Mitchell
will remove the Civil Service Commission which
he appointed, even if the ousted State Civil Ser
vice Commission does demand such action The
Mayor has contended from the beginning, and re-
iterates that the investigation" of the local body
was Tammany conspiracy. Certainly it was a
one-sided affair. which hardly gave Mr.. Moskowitz
and his associates chance TO do more than
spread formal denials of accusations against
them on the records.
Governor Whitman will do well to ponder long
before taking any action in this If the out
going state commission was so bad that he had
TO GUST it, surely he cannot attach much impor-
lance TO any of its acts. He should be reluctant
10 go over the Mayors head on the recommended
ton of body which he himself has discredited
by demanding its departure. There is no dispo-
sition on the part Of any one to assert the per-
lection of the local commission. Yet its recent
report shows a record in which any civil service
commission might well take satisfaction, and the
accusations of the state body against IT simmer
down TO techncalites, which leave about as much
TO be said on one side as on the other.
The Mayor unquestonably will refuse TO act on
the ousted state commissions recommendation
for dismissal. That will leave responsibility for
action on Governor Whitman. He cannot do bet
ter than to refer the case TO his new state com
mission. Mr.. Ordway and his associates have
complete public confidence. verdict rendered
by them will be deemed conclusive.
