CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Annual Meeting of #1 Baltimore. The most distinguished exponents of the merit system in the government service are holding a conference in Baltimore. Yesterday afternoon and last evening a joint meeting was held of the general and executive committees of the National Civil Service Reform League to formulzte a plan of procedure for today's meet- ing and to shape up resolutions and other pa- pers that will be presented to the general meeting for adoption. These resolations will clearly define the position of the league on the principle of civil service reform and the best methods of attaming the result at which it ee Howard 3. ¥ on North Howard street, oa anepee re ‘ht, when the address of President George Wi Curtis of the league Was delivered MR. CURTIS’ ADDRESS. “Civil service reform,” said Mr. Curtis, “is but another successive step in the development of liberty -nder law. It is not eccentric nor It is a logical measure of is properly simply the organ- ization of citizens who agree in their views of public poltsy to secure the enactment of their Views in law, has bee-me what is well called » jich co.atrols the political action of citizens, who vote for candidates that the machme selects and for messures which the *\ssbine dictates or approves. Even intelligent citizens who have protested against their party machine as an organized misrepr sentation of the party will de-iaro that if the 3 the power of fraud and cor- Fuption does not avail, and the party commands them to yield, they will bow the headand bend the knee in loyalty to fraud and corruption. ‘The recent p‘.ture of political corruption in Maryland, which we owe to the president of the Maryland Civil Service Reform Association. and its companion piece depicting political corruption in Pennsylvania, by Mr. Herber* ‘Welsh, show how completely in two great states tae two great parties of the -vantry. by base and dishonest methods, pervert their wer from promoting the puvlic benefit to E cortan ‘their own aggrandizement. The in- dividual partisan, forced to excuse himself, can only say that it is bad business, but that bis party machine is no worse than the other. ‘THE ADMINISTRATION AND REFORM. “The present administration came into power not with the usual vague platitude upon the subject, but with a definite promise of reform and the distin:t pledge to fulfill ite pledges. Bat it celebrated the success of its party with ‘a wild debauch of spoils, in which its promises and pledges were the meats and the drinks that were riotously consumed. Nevertheless, the reform law has been as faithfully observed as by its predecessor and the scope of the re- formed service has been greatly enlarged. It isthe Post Office Department, however, the largest patronage branch of the government, which has been ruthlessly ravaged under this administration by the old abuse. Yet. while ‘this steady advance in one of the most funda- mental of polical reforms proceeds, the x a= of the Inst year have ly mentioned it, and in the hot party cam- paigns of the autumn and of the spring party orators have forborne even to compliment it, lest haply some vote might be lost, AT 18 PROPOSED. “Civil service reform proposes to restrict the arbitrary power of party. It does not, of course, contemplate the dissoiution of parties or sup) that — government wiil bi carried on without the orgunization of citizens who desire to promote public policies upon which they agree. ‘THE SYSTEM IN MASSACHUSETTS. “The merit system as opposed to the spoils system of choosing state and city employes has taken «firmer hold on public opinion in Massachusetts than anywhere else in the coun- try. The merit system went into effect there im March, 1885, and in the seven years of its 4,300 public officers, besides 4,105 public la- Borers, More than ‘one-half ot these 4,900 public officers now in place have passed a com- Petitive examination, have been certified for Sppeintment from the top of the eligible liste have been appointed, so far as can be as- certained, without regard to political or relig- ious belief or any other motive than a desire to get efficient public servants. The remainder are iding over under itments ag SE Mr. Curtis then went on to describe the sqstem of labor registration adopted in Masse- yusetts. Owing to the alarming influence ob- tained by politics in the government work- shops and yards the system. in brief, 1s as fol- lows: Any citizen of in waut of work laborer goes to the office of th commission, where a clerk fils up for him sp blank, and gives him sertigontes two other persons to sign asserting his ca- pacity for the work he offers to do and his in- dustry and sobriety.

From the eligible lists. doable that number of names are sent him, the names being taken in order of application, except that preference is given to men with experience in that kind of work, to veterans of the war and to those supporting families, The men selected are notified by mail of the place where they are required to report for work. The officer appointing them is required to return to the commission the names of all persons employed and ail dis- charged, the cause of discharge and the char- acter of the work performed.

Acalled meeting of the‘ Anacostia Baptist Church was held last night in the lecture room. It was called at the instance of the committee appointed by Pastor McCullough at a previous meeting to investigate charges against Sexton Benoni Milstead. This committee comprised Messrs. H. 8. Halley, J. R Williams, W. A. Harrison, T. J. McGinnis and Mr. Padgett. The charges against Milstead were that he had made threats to break up the church and were preferred by Mr. F. 8. Lamson, ‘at present a deacon of the church. The ses- sion was called to order by Rev. G. W. McCul- lough as moderator. Several urose to cham- pion the cause of the sexton, but were declared out of order. Among these was Mrs. Anna A. Peck. Mr. Milstead was convicted by the in- vestigating committee, but his friends in the meeting were numerous enough to exonerate him later om It is reported that offers of fight were made with plenty of takers, but this is only rumor, as every member of the church declines to taik on this interesting point. ‘To- ward the close Pastor McCullough presented his resignation and it was accepted. The doc- ument was as follows: To the Anacostia Baptist Church: Dear Brethren and Sisters: About sixteen months ago I came at your call to assume tho charge of the church of which you are mem- bers. During these months I have tried faith- fully to preach the Gospel and labor among you for the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom, The Lord has, in a measure, blessed our labor. I had hoped to make a longer pastorate among ou, but circumstances beyond my control ave prevented. I now have come, after much prayer and thought over the matter, to feel at further labor among you would be re tarded. and I therefore beg the privilege of returning to you the charze which I received of you sixteen months ago, at the same time praying that the blessing of the great head of the church may rest upon you. I now ask that my resignation be accepted, to take effect with the close of next Sabbath’s services, May 1. 1892. ‘Mr. McCullough mudo his resignation final, but, notwithstanding this fact, quite a number of the members voted against receiving it. Mr. McCullough says he will rest awhile, only going off occasionally to preach to other churches, and make his home in Anacostia for the present. He will preach his farewell ser- mon next Sunday. Rev. Mr. McCullough arrived in Anacostia December, 1890, fresh from his labors as pastor of the Gay Street Church of Georgetown. He is a graduate of Newton (Mass.) Theological College. It is thought that this will conclude the riot- ing in the Anacostia Baptist Church. ‘THE FRESNO SOCIAL CIRCLE.

Mr. Reid’s address was spirited and was repeatedly interrupted by cheera. When Mr. Reid referred to President Harrison as that noble man sitting under his grandfather's hat in the White House the house rang with cheers and laughter. The allusion to the fact that the city and the country at times pulled as a. bulky team was groeted with hearty laughter but when in the nextsentency Mr. be ty that such was the cause why ioffally such jlendid and chivalric leaders as Fassett fall b: e way, the handkerchiefs of hundreds flash: into ge and the soene of the morning was a it remained, however, for an utterance char- acterizing Blaine as ‘that great secretary—the matchless Blaine,” to bring the convention to its feet, so to speak.

Capt. R. W.
