They are seconded by a good many of the substantial business men of the city who , partly on their own account and partly on account of the worlclngmen themselves , would like to see the latter given a chance to earn something. On the other side ore a part at least of the city offi cials , who look at the question from a little different standpoint from the worklngman oul of a job and his friends. "If we don't have some'work for the chain gang to do , " said an official yesterOay , "we'll very soon have our Jail full to overflowing.

The extension of civil rervlce and political assessment cases were discussed by Civil Service Com- in ssloner Hooscvelt , In an Interview with an Associated press reporter Mr Itoosevclt said : "Every fall as Ihe election comes the need of a radical nnd sweeping extension of the classified service becomes more and more apparent. At all Ihe government services not under the president the civil service law forms a.vast bribery bureau , by means ofwhich is gained an unhealthy stimulus to political nctivlly of lhal very cl.-us which \\e should be mosl sorry to see interested In politics. The enormous bulk of officers have really no connection whatever with poll ! cs. Their duties arc In no respect political and they should be appointed wholly without regard to political situations and kept Just as long as they do their duty well. It Is mere nonsense , and dishonest nonsense , to pay thai better service can bo obtained by having In subordinate positions men who arc of the same political party as the head of an administration The railway mall eervco tco can be cited as proof of this. No de partment of the government gives greater satisfaction to the public al large , jet the great bulk of railway mail employes now are men who were appointed during Mr. Harri son's presidency or In Mr. Cleveland's first term. All of these of the present administra tion were drawn from lists , as has been tlio case during the last five years. Those enter ing th service under the cltll sorv ce form tlio bulk of the emplo > e * . Including repub'l- c'ins democrats , prohibitionists , populists and mugwumps , all wholly w Ihout regard to politics nnd all kept on the rolls for efficient service. II Is nol of the leasl consequence - sequence which of the employes believe In protection and which In free trade which ore for free coinage and which against free co n- nge of silver As a matter of fact nobody can tell anything about their views on the aubjcct. Prom the performance of their duties no one could tell a republican from n democrat. The rigid enforcement of the civil service lawla the reason why there has been no detcr.oratlon In Ihe service In Ihe changes of administration. INDIAN SCHOOLS SEHVICD. "The rest ot the government service should be conducted In just the same way. The internal revenue office should be classified and all Us men appointed regardless of politics. Thr Indian school service Is another object lesson of non-partisan service Hitherto after every administration change there have besn sweeping changes In the school service at Indian agencies for purely political considerations. But this has not been so In the last ten. years because the evil service law- has been enforced In lhal service , and because rccenlly that law was almlnlsUred by Super ntendent Hallman with a desire to obtain Ihe spirit as well as Ihe letter. "What has been going on recently In Pitts- burg shous the Iniquity of the present sys tem. . There one of the congressional candi dates ; has actually sought to levy a political assessment : , amounting to a month's salar > , from the employes ot the Internal revenue service Similar efforts have been mnde lo assess postofflce employes. The money was sought wholly \\lthout regard lo Ihe politi cal affiliationsof employes. It Is a mere piece of blackmail and Just as If gained by knockliiE down clerks on the highway , ll seems hard to understand why an Intelligent community vvlll tolerate so gross an abuse , where a man deliberately plunders a set of public servants that he may get funds where with to debauch voters. The commission re cently had before It the case of the recorder of deeds , Taylor , and during the Investiga tion It was proven that wherever the civil service law did not obtain In Washington a condition ot actual terror e-dstid In the pub lic service and that Janitors , porters and all other employes were forced to pay politi cians for places and pay to retain them Anything more degrading , more servile more vicious , cannot be Imagined. NO ARGUMENT AGAINST IT. "Wo have had a great many public men attack the merit Bvstem but there has never yel been any argument advanced against It or In favor of the spoils that was both lion ' est and intelligent There are honest mea who are yet lee prejudiced , too Ignorant or too unobscrvlng to understand the fruitful evils of a corrupt public service administered In a spirit of base partisanship. There no plenty ot dishonest politicians , both shrewd and unprincipled , who , for their o\vn base Interests , denounce the merit s > stcm and peek to excite prejudice against it Hut there Is not a single honest American de siring the welfare of the country who can look for a moment at the two systems and consider the principles for which they stand without becoming a hearty ally of and be liever In the now methods. The law Is steadily making headway. The classified service Is extending all the time. The com mission , however. Is necessarily required lo he active In supervising the extension of the law. This la notably the case In the newly classified postofllces , where Ihere Is always a hitch , it being dlfflcult lo got Ihe law well observed al the outbet. Take In diana , for Instance Indianapolis has been classified for many jenrs. There was a practical failure In having1 the law abso lutely enforced during Mr. Cleveland's first administration At the beginning of Mr. Harrison's administration a rigid observance of law had been , accomplished. On Iho other hand during Ihe present administration there I.ad been great difficulty In a number of smaller Indiana postotllces In which po t- mastcrs have "made every efforl , sometimes successfully , to evade and nullify the law. Several of these cases are now under con sideration. "The commission Is not only now Investi gating what Is being done in EOIIID of these offices , but It also Is keeping a vigilant ej-o on political assessment matters. The law , unfortunately , Is not strong enough. It ought to be strengthened so as to prohibit any one from making a political contribution tea a government ofilcial The latter would then be lefl free to contribute freely of their ov.n accord. At present the demands from high olllcers of Important committees are com piled with by Die clerks because they know these olllclals are In Ihe same party organi zation wllh their own Inferior officers "The commission has some amusing ex perienceswith certain 'chronic opponents. ' There are certain men In the senate and lower house who delight In making charges which there Is no chanceto answer but who never take up any challenge of the commis sion when It convicts them of mlBstatcment and when making mlsstatcments avoid the Issueby simply falling to respond lo any let ter of correction from the commission " - ll'Xt > TKIt.\ J'K.VS/OAS.
