It has been made known, says acablegram from London, that Mr. Blaine’s departure from Dublin for Cork, to the former of which places he intends to return, was taken for the purpose of personally witnessing some evictions which ‘was advised would take place near fy DEPARTMENT PROMOTIONS, Do the New Rules Attain the Object for Which they were Designed? Now that the new civil-service rules governing promotions in the Departments have been applied to the War Department, and the results have been made known, the question that is agitating cleri- cal circles is “What is it all about” Those who have been examined were greatly worried until ‘they had passed through the ordeal, but clerks in the other Departments now await their turn with somewhat less apprehension, beng reassured by the small percentage of those who were unable to pass the examination and fell by the wayside. Now that the smoke after the battle has disappeared, and the results of the first en- gagement can be ascertained, the clerks have looked into the matter closely, and have come to the conclusion that the new rules for promotion do not change the former system of making pro- racaayeetecs re Reedet tn tary of .e Department vented romoting a clerk eno has fatten to get a percent of 75 in his examination. As the Clerks who failed aro very few—only about one th every fifteen examined—the Secretary has almost the ‘same power as formerly, ‘To be sure, he is compelled to get his list of eligibles from thé Civil-Service Commission, but as the Commission ers in their turn are compelled to include in the list all the clerks who attained a pepe 8 of 75 or over, it would appear that the head of the De- ment is allowed nearly the same latitude of retion in his seleations as before the new rules were enforced. A clerk who barely passed is just as eligible for promotion as one who 1d over 90, and there is nothing to prevent the of his bureau from recommending him and the Secretary from approving the recommendation, According to the new rules a clerk who has failed is compelled to undergo another examination, and, in case of a second failure, “he may be re- duced or dismissed” by the Secretary. It would appear from this the dismissal is not compulsory, and the clerks stand nearly us good chanos of pro: motion as formerly. Having secured the requisite percentage there is nothing to prevent the exer- cise of favoritism or recognition of effictency just ‘as Was the case formerly. ———— District Government Affairs.
