2 PURITY A POLITICAL DELUSION Tho Operations of tha Civil Service Law a Commodious Failure, TEE CASTOR OIL OF POLITICSG, And an Infringement of the Presi- dent's Constitutional Powers—~ Nebraska Reformers and Postal Crooks. [WRITTEN ¥OI THE DER] Tn this letter [ propose to give my views on tho much mooted question of civil ser- vice roform. It will be understood, of course, that they are the views of myself only and do not represent the Bee on _tho views of any other person. For thros of four yoars or so the two groat partios of the country, ropub- lican and democratic, stooll in the presence of a fow seif-declared rightoons moen who arrogate to themselves all the purity and uprighteousness there isin politieal lifo now known by the classio title of mugwumps, a8 moral cowards, Both parties utterly detest cf Srvico as it is now known and practiced, and at their conventions they swallow reso- 1 utions envorsing it with wry taces and rebellions stomachs as much so s if they were taking doses of ipecac, and thus a few impracticables dictate the course of the two parties in_this respeet; and they, ths two parties, offer their en- dorsement of tho civil sei s 18 bribe for mugwump votes. Not since this gov- ernmoent was organiz has there beon such A POLITICAL DELUSION almed off on the people, ns what is now nown ns civil serviee reform. Its advo- cntos cry wloud as to its merits, and the blessings it conterred npon the peo- le.

They will say, “‘oh, yes the improvement has been won- derful,” but that is all the wer you will get from them; as to evidence of i, they are dumb. -~ Civ designs to jgnore and sot aside sen: and mem- bers in making appointments to otiic: Mr. Clevelind d this purpos into practice in 1l never, since the first pr t took oflice, have so many ex-penitentinry convicts and i dicted persons been appointed to federal oftices ns have been appointed by the He has MOKE FRAUDS 1l more unfit Lt seven months under the fou The expla- sside DUG UL and has boen oblig appointments in th than were ever known preceding administrations. nation of this fact is just this, ho dis- regarded the advice of senators and members; ho said in his letter to Eaton, ting tho lntter's resignation as chief of the civil service commission, ‘“‘they impudently stand between the offices and the people ' Lhold it to be utterly im- ssiblo for the president and huads of partments to make appointments intel- ligently and understandingiy without consulting senators and members from the states and districts in which the ap- pheants live. They stand in closer rola- - tions to and aro.more direstly the repre- sentatives of the people than any other germmu; and they ean be held responsi lo, too, while no responsibility attacl to the private citizen. The prosil:nt docs not know,or at least is not expocted to know, many pr vate z0ns: but ho does know the senator and member and ‘that the t people have sent them there to ropresent the people.

Iam utterly and unchanzeably op- posed to any policy that tends toward the establishment of a life tenure of oflice. The wholo theory of our system of gov- W - ernment is opposed to it, and the framers of tho government manifested their op- position to it by providing ¥ BHORT TERMS OF OF in all cases except United he president holds for four ye when he retires, his cuabinet oflicers ar « expected to vetire with him.

Nearly all the other Btates, once in two years. All the state oflicers, or nearly 80, ure changed also, at the sume time. Why these frequent changos in oftice, provided in every do- o purtment of the general and state gov ernmoents, by the wisost statesmen of the i eentury which has passed, if the perma- w oment tonure system is the perieet pana- I eon for all evils in the body politier” One object was, to bring public ollicers into close relations with the people, so that if they prove faithless to their trasts, the poople ean pat better men in their plucos. It was to have publie olicers wol and know that their o 1 aets must be passed in review by the puiilic judge- mont at froquent and stated periods.

To illns- trate: 1 once said to a gentleman a fow years ago, who had a large amount of bus ness before some of the departments in Washington, AND WHO WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL in having his elaims *allowed, how is it that you nlmost_invariably succeed with your cnseay “Well,’ d ho, “ns [ am about iring from business I will wll you.

He wonld invite him to his room; if he ecame he knew he had him. Refreshmeuts fol lowed, interspersed with conversation upon the small pay of the elerks, and a ought to lay something by for a rainy day, all of which would be kindly received. His claim would soon be favorably reported and allowed, and in due time the pocke book of the clerk wonld not be tronbled with emptiness as much asit was, Ho went on to say that the clerk who, to his knowledgo, had thus accumulated the most, had the contidence of his superiors more than any other one in the burean The cluss of officcholders, where the facilities for such corruption are the most sily attainable, and whero the go ment can be most seriously harmed, tho object of the present civil servi surronnd with safeguards against r movals for lifo. ANOTHER OBJECTION to tho present civil sery W is that it direetly infringes the powers and rights of the presidentconferred upon him by the constitution, 1 making appointmens; and [ fully believe, if the question ever reaches the supreme court, the law will be deelared in conflict with the constitu- tion. In making appointments, the first ques- tions to be settled are, is the applicant honest, is he eapuble; those being settled favorubly, T hold it to be the right of the party in power to scloct its own polit friends and supporters for oflice. The adininistration is held responsible for the policics of the government, and it should ilowed to select friendly agents to carry ont.thoso policies. Business men in the management of their own affa rs are not apt to sele vrents for earry ing on their business, those who are 1:os- tile to it. hey prefer to trust it to friendly hands. Why should not the government be permitted to pursue the Kame common sense conrse? - Again, the party in power that does not put its own friends and supporters in oflice; and the dovs not stand by his own onds will ere loug go to the wall as hoe ought to CLEVELAND'S SLOW DORSED. Tt was amusing to read the resolution adopted by the late democratic conven- tion at Lincoln, which endorsed the slow- ness of the president in making removals and appointments. The record of the mental anathemas uttered by those same democrats, and of the number of time: they have consiened Cleveland to sheol, would be appalling to behold. And yet sy humbly abase themselves bLefore him and cry out, is all right, Grover, come round soon a8 you can,’ and som of them adding in & sort of undertono, “but don’t let the day of judgment h in sight be 3 They remind me of i party one of the numboer did the cooking for the party. The rule was, that the one who'complained should’ take lace of the cook. The cook became of his ocenpation and thought he would set some of them to linding ult with the cooking. One morning he mixed up the biscuit, composed of one-half tlour and one half salt, and, baking them, set them before the hungry miners. One of them, seizing a biscuit. planted his molars in it and set his jaws to wageing, when he suddenly exclaimed, “Well, if th ain't the goldarnd’st, saltest biscuit, I ever ate,”—just then he thought of the conse- quence of finding fanlt and quickly added, “‘but ne mind,” I like 'um.
