SENATOR EDMUNDS ON CIVIL SERVIvE Re- ForM.—Sometit President Hayes wrote a letter to Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, re- ing his views as to the administration of vil service. Under date of December h, Senator Edmunds replied. He first cites the history of the growth of patronage, show: ing how it began: that the Exeeutive could not be expected to Know the qualifications of ailoftice Seekers, and it became necessary to get inlormation from members of Congress. The outcome is that Congress has virtually usurped the constitutional powers of th ident in making appointments. H system is very Vicious and. unconstitutional ; that it is injutions to the office holder in that, not destroy the Uberty of the citizen, embarrasses it: that itis even more unjust to the Executive and members of Con- "the reason chat as to the Executive ke appointments to secure appropriations for spe bjeets or confirma ‘ougressmen because Ipoh uestions of patronage are sneed by what the Executive will omit todo in the matter of ppointments. Senator Edmunds says, therefore, that the present system of in- tliencing patronage by members of Congress should be abolished. He says he will make no voluntary recommendations for office, and thinks that Congress should adopt such ‘a sys- tem, bul if adopted he wants it to. be abso- lutely and uniformly carried out. He thinks the adoption of siich a system’ would be a great correction of the present evils of patron- age. and that it would make office holders the servants of law instead of the tepants at will of members of Congress or the Executive.
