A PLAX TO CHOKE TRE COMMISSION. Mr. Buttorworth attacked this proposal in his usual clear and sharp manner, denouncing it as a plan tochoke the commission. He called on the House to showalittle courage and either sustain the civil service or repeal the law. MB. CAXNON EXPLAINS. After some little discussion it was decided at this point that debate on the paragraph be lim- ited to three hours and Mr. Cannon took the floor. Ho explained that Congress passed a law eentings ctrl service commission, red what the salaries of the commissioners should be, provided that the commission should have a secretary at $1,600 a year, a sten pher at $1,600 and a messenger at $600; that then the organic act went on to provide that not less than three persons in the official serv- ice of the United States in the District of Co- lumbia shall be detailed from the departments to act as examiners; that at various points throughout the country,or at any and all points, like details should be made from persons in the official service to act as examiners. A reason lation would be to entirely stop the working of the commission. It would shut off all of the from the departments, but in practice. Neither Party would take the re- sponaitility of ropealing the law, but a deliber- ate attempt was being made to stab it from ep and: vote,” said Mi ayes - ir. ‘the hostility to civil service reform would ox- hibit the same courage which is an- nually when tho House comes fo vote on the question of providing clerks for themselves. {Langhter.}) Gentlemen do nat care to repeal the ln, so they go around and atjempt, under a point of order, to cripple its opérations, and not only to cripple the is of the civil service lew, but to make it impossible to carry it ont.” I never heard an intelligent man in this Sortieunn panrcemereeeaeee sere tronage was ‘upon him by existing circumstances ss an; else than an annoyance and a trouble—a constant source of em! nd political weak- ness.

Mr. Greenbalge said among other things: “Mr. Chairman, there is one crime which has not been charged against this commission, and this is very singular. When in one of. the in- for that was that it was imposible when the commission was created to tell how many em- ployes would be needed. Further than this, said Mr. Cannon, this plan had been decided on because it was thought that examiners of candidates ought to be considered sentimental. They want to be 7 and manly; and they fancy it is good thing to stand up and say, “Oh! this of service reform is a humbug snd only Miks Nancles aiid dudes have anything to do with osen from employes in the ial service of | it.” 1 attidude of some of these men the prcieerg Mr. Cannon held that under | teminds me ly of the famous — clerks the t law any needed number of Bagstock. tough could be detailed from the depertmenta for use the ‘reform.

Referring to the provision in the other bills for clerks, Mr. Butterworth said: And the civil service commission said this, and I think wisely and sensibly: “If we are to run this institution satisfactorily, the men who are detailed to take charge of and manage its machinery should be under,our control.” ‘That was reasonable; that was sensible and business like, and therefore I say to the House and to the committee that we drop ped out these clerks from the several bu- reaus where they are employed and mcrsased the cleriead foree of the commission by that wamber.
