All Subordinate Federal Oiftceis to bs Separated From Polities. Washington, 1). C That new rul ings nre contemplated, pieliminaiy o a c jmplete reorganisation of the working force of the departments, the Treasury ... . 1 . . V. 1 . especially, seems more man pruuam?. This, it ia believed, is ouc reason why so few . departmental changes have been made. Those jh'at have been made are on a line consistent with 'the new rule? that are said to be prepa ing. Mr. Cleveland, it is repotted, contemp lates a new extension of the civil service iden, little less tbaa the complete wiping out of the present system and the sub sti'ution of soma main features of the English system. For this purpose legislation will be needed; aud jet considerable progress is possible under the j resent laws. Mr. Cleveland's exp rience, more es pecially during the last two months, has set him thinking, and he has thought like a man disgusted with the idea of public patronage in return for political services. It is reported that in bis own 1 ' Sr mind he has advanced considerably to ward the plan of employing in the Gov ernment service only those who are best qualified, regardless of political consid orations. The qualifications are to be ascertained by a Board not less removed from partisan influences and cons'dera tions thaa the Supreme Court. The ser vice is to be arranged in grades, and un der the best rules known in the business world, whereby fitness, moral, intellectu al, aud physical, will be taken into the accouut; politics never. With making appointments, save those of foreign Ministers and certain high offi cials nearest to the Executive, the Presi dent will have nothiug to do; and the tenure will virtually be for Lifts and.g.iod behavior. Provision will be,., made for constant fcupei vision of the sorvice with a view to keeping it up t the highest standard in all respects. Mr. Cleveland lus seen and thought enough,he believes, to qu ilify lrim to make to Congress, when it meets aga;n, extensive recommendations looking to changes that will separate the servants of the Government from poli ics, and relieve the executive br.inch from whit, in h;s judgment, has be.ome a positive tcindal and an injury in every light. Mr. Cleve land is convinced the time has come for reforming altogether tha practice of ap pointing men to office on party grouuds, and is giving his best study to the sub ject of reforming the evil. It is understood thj President Ins per suaded himself that whit he intends to recommend, will command tha requisite strength to put though Congress a law that will permanently reform out of existence a number of evils which,in his judgment, threaten the welfare of the republic; and he believes the reform wiil shed renown', on his Administration. v Mr. Cleveland is considering thin question with the aid of members of his Cabinet, and at the same t;me he is con sulting with Democrats and Republicans as opportunity is afforded; Gen. Schurz, as I am informed, was male acquainted with the President's purpose on his re cent visit to the White House. On the degree of support this enlarged civil ser vice reform may receive in advance of the meeting of Congress will depend not a little Mr. Cleveland's recommendation. The opiuion prevails to a considerable extent that recent experience, which has so impressed th? President and brought him to think earnestly, wiil also bring favor to the proposed system from both political parties. KILLED IN A FOLDING BED. The Head Piece Topples Over OnMrs'.
