to be raise I at the rale of ?12:,?.oo
a year for six years.
Tli's amount will build n fircnt many

doubt, lead to Ktill further consrructlo

CIVIL SERVICE ENDANGERED.
The President, by Exec.lt ive order of
October 1". holds the lid down seeur
, d enough, but he also kicks the bot
tom' out. P.y this new departure an
oflker or a employe in the classified
service may be summarily dismissed
by the President or head or an execu
tive department, for "inefficiency" or
"incapacity." That Is, the knocking
of the bottom out. Rut vacancies are
to be filled by drafts from the eligible
lists made up by the civil service com
mission. That is the holding down of
tho lid.
The order continues: "When mis
conduct is committed In the view and
presence of the President or head of
executive department, removal may be
made summarily and without notice."
And that necessarily makes the word
"misconduct." overwhelmingly Impor
tant, what is misconduct? There
are as many different definitions of
the word as there are different tem
pers and different opinions among
men. Eugene Higgins, when he was
a political magnate of the first Cleve
land administration, held that to ad
here to the Republican party was
gross misconduct on the part. oT a
clerk or employe of the treasury de
partment, while your Mugwump hold
that to be a spoilsman is conduct out
rageously unbecoming.
Now, all of us are ready to admit
that a civil service reform' administra
tion can administer the civil service
law in spirit and observe the order of
October 17 in letter at. the same time,
and without stulificat ion. But sup
pose a disreputable administration
were given power, a Democratic ad
ministration, if you please, very hun
gry and very thirsty, believing with
that grim old Democrat, William L.
Marcy, that to the victors belong the
spoils, and indebted to Tammany Hall
for more than 100,000 majority and
the thirty-nine electoral votes of the
Empire State suppose you had that
sort of administration and this execu
tive order of October 17 at the same
time? How long would it take them
to empty the civil service of all the
Republicans in it?
The littlest thing is the world would
be magnified into the biggest sorts of
misconduct the way an employe part
ed his hair, or tied his shoes, or rolled
a cigarette, or bit a sandwich. Any
one of these might lie "misconduct,"
so enormous as to merit dismissal.
But unless the Democratic party
mends its manners it. is going to be
a long time between Eugene Higginses
in seats of the mighty, and as we have
a thoroughly civil service reform ad
ministration there is not rhe slightest
doubt in the world that the skillet will
hold all the civil service reform neces
sary, even though the bottom is knock
ed out.
And in -proof of it one of the Com
missioners has indorsed the whole
