The Civil Service Law Hotly Attacked and Stoutly Defended. AX ATTEMPT TO STRIKE OUT OF THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL THE ITEM FOR THE CIVTL SERVICE COMMISSION DEFEATED BY 4 VOTE OF ‘Yeas, 61; Nave, 121. The enemies of civil service reform came out in full force in the House yesterday with well-sharpened knives up their slceves, but in short order the edge was taken off their wea- pons and their weakness was exposed. The strongest men in both parties came to the de- fense of the civil service law. Afeer a long discussion the motion to strike out from the legislative bill the appropriation for the civil service commission was lost by a vote of 121 wé6L Mr. Cammings made a very savage attack upon the commission, making the point of order that the item did not belong in the bill, as the commission was neither legislative, — bor judicial, This point was over- ru) Mr. Dorsey (Neb.) moved to reduce the number of commissioners from three to one. He thought that one commissioner was enong’ to carry on this little bureau of the govern- ment. Mr. sa ears (New York) denounced the law x an infamous shame and an infamous imposi- tion on the public. The whole country was op- posed to it except here and there a scientific man. There were not ten men on the floor who favored civil service reform. It was as com- plete « humbug as was ever established. The amendment was ruled out. TO EXEMPT EX-SOLDIENS, Mr, Perkins of Kansas offered an amend- ment exempting ex-soldiers from the provis- ious of the civil service |: He had not much sympathy with the present law and the manner of its execution. Members ought to be frank to themselves and to their constitu- enta, He did not believe there was a dozen men on the floor who were in sympathy with the law, and he knew that the people of the country generally were notin sympathy with it. Aslong as President Cleveland professed to stand by the law he had uo support in his own political party. Never until he took off the mask did he rally the support of his party. He (Mr, Perkins) believed that the weakness of the present adminwtration was that it professed to stand by that law. 11 there sould be a dem- ocratic success in the next clection it would be because the administration in power did not stand by the working republicans rather than by its professions Of civil service reform. (Ap- piause.] The amendment was ruled ont. Mr. Houk of Tennessee moved to strike out the entire clause and stated that he thought it was not proper at this time to make the appro- priation. He was not here to oppose the high- est possible perfection to be attained in the civil service of the government. He desired that the government employes. high and low, should be selected by reason of their merit, but the difference between him and the profe sional civil service reformers was that the lat- ter divided mankind into two claseex—we the saints and pure people and you the spoilsmen and rascals, He desired the government run on business principles. He desired to see merit recognized, but he did not believe in this fifth wheel to the wagon. Mr. Moore of New Hampshire announced himself as a civil service reformer, without dis- guise and without qualification. He believed thoroughly that every element of patronage, no matter bow high or how low, should be eliminated from any connection ‘with the American House of Representatives. He be- lieved that the Constitution did not warrant and did not contemplate that any Representa- tive of this Congress should have any counec- tion with the patronage of the government. Mr. Biggs of California denounced the civil service law, contending tbat an administration should have its friends in office. The law was | conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity, Pendleton was its father, Curtis was its granny and Dorman Eaton was its nurse and clout washer. Mr. Leblbach, chairman of the civil service committee, said: “If the motion made by the gentleman from Tennessee should prevail then the civil service commission is practically wiped ont of existence, and I say that any action of this kind by this House today would be highly improper and would be condemned by the country. The commission has been and tion was adopted our committee has been very diligent. We have held seventeen meetings. At nine of those meetings tertimony has been taken, The meetings have extended, at times, from 10 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the afternoon, The evidence has just been printed, and this morning the committee held a meeting inorder to arrange for the final arguments. The committee certainly desire to hasten as speedily as possible the consideration of the evidence and to report their conclusions to this House for its action at an early day, I hope that the sound judgment of members will not permit them to vote for the pending motion. but that they will prefer to wait and decide in the light of the evidence placed before them by their committee and until the time when their decision can be made in an intelligent manner on the question whether the civil service commission should cease to exist. it would be cowardly on the part of this House to strike at the commission by denying the ap- propriation, and I trust that whatever influence the ‘buncombe’ and inconsiderate speeches made here may have on members careless in matters of legislation, the sound judgment of the majority will induce them to yote down this motion,” Mr. McComas said that this would be, if it were not more humiliating, a pretty serious business, particularly for the republican party that elected a republican President on a repub- lican platform, Mr. Butterworth—It is serious because it is humiliatii Mr. McComas—Our democratic brethren be- long to a party that can take both sides of a question or give a pledge and absolutely break it, The republican party has never been abie to break its pledges without paying the penalty. ‘This is a cowardly attempt to nullify the exist- ing law. Why do I say it is cowardly? The republican party are not ordinarily nullifiers. If we face something as a party we march for- ward, take our ground and stand upon it. But this back-door way of attacking the civil serv- ice commission now established by law by attempting to starve it out is Gishonorable and unworthy of a great party that won a glorious victory on a dozen pledges, in the front of which 1t put its sol- emuly repeated pledge that it would stand b this reform when the democratic party failed to stand by its pledge for civilservice reform, What is the result of this proposition? For seven years under the existing law and by its invitation you have seut a hundred thousand men and women and young giris from the farms and villages up to the cities of the coun- try where you have held your examination. andthey have been placed on the eligible list—one hundred thousand of them last year—many of them poor, They are hoping that you meant what you said when they went to be examined. They found that 22 per cent of those examined had been placed on the rolls of government employment last year and they thought that they had one chance out of four this year of “ppointment af you should keep your pledge. They are relying on your houor, your party's honor,to give them the opportuaity which was proraised them under the law. Now you propose to say, “We will starve out the commission.” These people have spent their money, their toil; they have stood their cxamina- tious in vain, because the government is going to repudiate its pledge. If you now strike out this appropriation you practically abolish the law; and pone of these people can get in. You do not leave one opening by Load single person not now in the service, although eligible, can enter it under this law. Striking out the appropriation wili not open a single office to applicants outside to enter the classi- fied service. As to all those men who other- wise might get in, the women and girls who might get in, the soldiers to whom preference is given by the law, a preference which can be e law, when they pass the examina- tion with equal rank. you propose to say, “We repudiate our * * © We in terms pledged our faith to this system. is now under investigation. Since this resolu- | less sentimental declamation? Mr. Chairman, in my assignment to the committee on Thave been placed im a position. fortunately unfortunately, which has required my pr House to be such as could not fail awaken violent potiticat feeling upon one aide and the other, hy a so, but, ing in the spirit of some of the noble and high- minded declarations made by the from South Carolina (Mr. Cothran) yester- and 1 wish to God that we had more sack Judicial and honest expressions of opinion im this House upon both sides ‘ing in that spirit, I say, Ido not believe that when the Icertainiy do not believe it of the republi- can party; i have faith that every word about civil service reform was honest and true, yet we have gentlemea sitting here who say these declarations were meant simply for “bum combe,” for sound, for show. Now, Mr. Chair- man, let me tell you why that declaration wae put there in both platforms, They put it there because the politicians who attended these con- ions heard the voice of the American peo- ple demanding that it should be put theret he sagacious gentlemen, these practical poli- ticians, never put anything im these pistforms unless it means business; unless it is goi we count, unless it is the sentiment which will de e most good with the voting population of country, I say, Mr. Chairman, it is en- couraging to hear on this floor, not direct an@ manly attacks upon this principle—at is en~ couraging to hear only attacks upon the man- ner in which the principle: has been carried out and appled. I like to hear the charges and the counter-charges hurled from side to aide — ns and recriminations as to the man- ner in which the principle was violated under the last administration. Llike to hear the charges of violations of this principle under the present adiministra- tion, It means the bealth, the welfare and the salvation of the law, All we have to do with the matter today, Mr. Chairman. is to say this: “The principle of civil service reform has beem written into the political law of both parties; 16 has been written upon the statute books of the United States.” Ita lex scrupta est. and the question is whether ytu will revise, repeal amend that law. correct imperfections which admit exist, for in this world absolute tion is scarce, or whether we shall. skulking assassin fashion in the dark, stab the law and the principle in the ba tT, not daring to meet the principle face to face, contrive to sentence it to solitary confinement and then starve it to death. The vilest criminal is not treated in this way. I say we cannot afford to take that posi- tion, Let us stand like men; let us be honest and sin It we oppose the principle, let us so like do my friend from Ohio (Mr, Gros- Yenor), whose ripe wisdom and matare judg- ment I esteem #o highly that I feel reluctant to diter with him upon this or any other question, He always cc nds, and has « right to com- mand, the res ul attention of this House and of myself, and presents an able com- trast to some exhibitions we have on this floor, | But L say that L behcve the highest duty of this Honse-of both parties and the ouly proper thing to do now is to pass this appropriation and to execute and fuliill im letter and spirit | the law as long as it remains on the statute | books, (Applause). Mr. Lodge made a strong defense of the law, ashe nad ably doue the day before. He ob- jected to the style of discussion, There bad been complaints against the the effect that the offices divided among the states, ‘These critics forget that the law itself made the allotments to evel, state, Mr. Randall had never tried to stab the law in the back. He had opposed it, but after it had been enacted he had uever sought to cus off the supplies. He had appealed to « repub- lican from New York to withdraw bis ameud- ment to strike out the provision for the com- igible hist and te were not evenly Blount asserted that the young mem of the country—the stalwart youth —were not disbarred from public service by au examina- tion intended to tost their iutelligenee, The law was enacted by Congress aud afterward indorsed by both political parties in their plat~ forms, Mr. Henderson (Iowa) said: Mr. Chairman, | civil service has come to this government to stay [applause], deserts it will and the poiitical pay that not stay, and ought not to. {Applause.] The genticman from Mississippi as not precipitated thi# factional or sectional | Or political debate as he ines. Neither is | it true, as he asserts, that this administration is not enforcing the law. No statement could | be made further trom the fact. | The truth is that President Harrison, with an integrity that no party can question and no power can turn, with a courage that never Fielded in any battle, physical, litical, or moral, is enforcing aud has enforced this law, and “that’s whats the matter with the bows.” {Applause.] If he were letting them select “the best melons im the patch,” as our demo- cratic brothers were allowed to do, if he were recreant to his executive oath and’ his party's platform there would not be even the little op- position that we find here today to civil service. But the law is euforced today. as the great Union League Club of New York declared the other day, approvingly. I say to my associates on this side of the House that I helped to make the platform in 185%. 1 believed in it then, I believe in it now, aud I am here to act upon my convictions, Upon that platform we carried the country in 188%, We carried the best thought and sentiment of the country, and I say to my associates, do | hot now in this indirect way desert that great standard of principles and turn your backs upon the people of this country who put you into power and responsibility im the weighty issues of that great campaign. I do not want to go back to the old spoils system, I want te get further away from it. I want the law-maker to be able to make laws and to equip himself for doing #0 and not to become a mere lackey for the spoils system. Im the name of prog- | ress, now that w vanced the standard, | let us keep hold of it, stand under it, fignt for itand perfect a law which was born of much thought. of much conf and which, whatever any political party may desire, the people of this country will never desert, [Appiause.j Mr. Houk denied that it was cowardly to Move to strike out the appropriation, Mr. McKinley (Ohio) earnestly opposed the motion to strike out the appropriation, His only regret was that the appropriation commit- tee Cid not give to the civil service commission ail the appropriation it asked for for the en- largement of the civil service.
