THE NEW CIVIL BERVICE RULES. Tho Government has as yet taken no action under the now ecivil sorvico rules, which pro- vidos for tho appointment of local Examining Boards for compotitive cxamination in thoWest~ orn States. It is now given out that theso Bonrds will not bo nnfinimm.] until Iato in tho {all, probably not until aftor tho fall clections in tho soveral Statos, for reasons best known to the authoritics. ‘Thero appears to Le no great anxioty to enforco the now rules in their full- ness.
