0 TIIE SCRANTON TKIJ3UNE-FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 5, 1897. Here fthe Place That Cam Be Distributed. 5ome tiling About the Patronage at the Bes " towal' of President McKJnley. yrom tho Washington Star. When Frcsldcnt MclCtnlev assumes chnrse of the executive depaitments of tho Koveinmont a ml begins to tnke ac count of stock In the foim of fat fed einl olllces in ordei to distribute them unions loal follo-neis, he will soon discover that In older to make them go Rrountl tho miracle of thejoaves anil ilshes will have to be duplicated or many ambitious politicians will be ob liged to take the will foi the deed. President MeKInley will find that of the 178,717 position in the civil brunch of the sen eminent, 87,107 are In the classllled perv ice, and 91,010 ale In the tinclnbslfled sen Ice. Of those In the unclassified seilce S,8nl aie pel sons employed mcrcl as laboreis or w oik men, G,Ci70 aie excluded fiom classi fication for leasons deemed best foi the peivice, l.Slu aie appointed b the pies ident and conilrnicd by the senate, and 72,371 aie conhldeied as classifiable, but aie not yet classllled Hut of ')1,G10 places In the unclassi fied seiice, the onl ones that can be filled directly by JIi McKlnle and the members of his cabinet, GG,72i ine post masters of the -foutth diss.' Beside fouith class postmnsdeis and peisons employed meiely as Iuborfis oi woih mtn theie will be at the disposition of the new mlinlnl Hratlon lG.U.TI places. Many of these places aie such as would be coveted by the nvoiuge politician, who is ambitious foi political reward but the stoat mass r)f them ate not special disliable to one who wants a salatj that will piuvlde mote than a mete living. Of these places -I.S15 aie appointed by the niesldcnt and conjlimcd b the senate, and those aie the best olllces within the gilt of Jli Mclttnle. Hut appointments iiie lnacle ioi a term or foui jcais and cn few of them will be auilable foi appointments lluich -1. Indeed, It now looks as If the thousands of people who seek Washington with an ambition teseive thelt countij in lome Dlensant position With a lat sal atj attacheeU thereto villi Mud Mi. Jlc Klnley In a position that,, will cniibe them to hae a fellow feeling with the pool doggie when It sought Mothet Hubbuid and het cupboard Piesident MeKInley will probably le fieah the inemotj of his callers li showing tht in how the see-saw Ing of KepUhllcnn and ' Delnoctatlc admlnls tiatlons has feWlfe'eUln A' constant en laigement of the classllled hoivlce each adminlstiatlon irote( ting thousands of good men politically In sjmpatliy with the ptlistom bj pullingjthe civil sei- ice covcilet ovOr them aftei the bad been tucked away in nice berths, lie will be able to console them bv showing them that thousands of good Kepublicans, as well as less woith Democrils, fiom thtfli ipolnt of v lew , have been taken In permanent! out of the s"tmm bv thee rnethods, and per haps Teisu,ide them that chll seiIce leloim has Its bencllts after all. President MeKInley might iemind the ambitious ones that the clIl set vlce act was appioed Januaiy 1C, 1SSS, piovidiusSfrnS the classlllcation foi puipoMes of open competithe examina tion of ceitaiii-ulace in the depait mental sen ice, and In custom houses and postolllces hav Ing as mum as flit emplojes, and giving the piesident au thoiitj to extend fiom time to time tills classification until all positions in the civil service should be made subject to the civil st rvjee lles, except those peisons nppointeil b the piesident and conflimeil by the agnate and peisons employed meiel as laboieis and woik men. HOW THE CHANGES HAVE BEEN -' n qiadi:, t Vnder Piesident Aithui theio was a glow th (if 1,04") classllled places, which, added to the numbet oiiglnall classl lled, made the total oei 15,000 at the close of ills administiarlpn. Piesident Cle eland added moie than 7,000 bj c ecuthe otder dining his Hist adminls tiatlon, and the Increase by natural glow th duilnir the same time was about 1,500 places In 1S91 Piesident Ilarilson included in the classllled postal seivlce all fiee delivery postof llees. H this etensIon theie weie added to tiU'.k.laHtliuantl'n ice 557 post olllces, with a total of 7,000 employes. Theie was a natuial giowth of neatly 7,000 places dutlng Mi. Hartison's ad minlstiatlon. So it was that at the be ginning of the piesent adminlstiatlon theie wete appioxlmately 42,000 places Included within the classified sen lee, and so enejjiutloo-Hv , has Piesident Cleveland piomoted civil seivlce lefoim that lie nearly doubled the number of government employes given that pio-i tection und has made the gtand total of men and wcyne,n In the classllled sei iee today 87.U7. . And this )s the, waj he did If lie extended the classllled eivlce Maj 11, 1SlM, to assistant tcacheis in the Indian feeivice, and May 25. meat Inspectois in the buieau of animal indtihti wcie so Included. On Xovcmbei J, 1891, mes sengers and watchmen in the depait ments at Wu-hington weie included, as well as emplojes In custom houses liavlng as many' as twenty emplojes, and at the same time the entlie cus toms classification was exended so as to hi ing within It all emplojes, eeept mete laboiets, without legaid to com pensation, and a lar-jo numbei in the postal seivlce vas added to the com petitive list. Novembet 17 steamboat cleiks and tiansfei cieiks in the lail wiy mall seivlce were biought under the rules, and December 12 the' classl llcation was extended over the inteinal levenue. The'tuperintendents of post oillco stations at which cairiois aie employed weie put in the classified class Januaiy .1, 1S9.", and Maicli -i of the same jear the classification was extended to tho census dlv ison of the lntei ibrdepaitment and the 24th of the following May all places In the depait ment Qf agriculture not pievlously classified weie so Included. Emplojes of the government printing ofllce weie taken under the wing of tho classified seivico Juno 13, and July 1G the eletical foice in the vailous pension agencies weie likewise favored. Indian agencies and school employes weie included March 20, 189C, and by the sweeping oi dets or May G, 1S9C, the classification iv as extended to piactlcnlly the entlie executive civil seivlce. This older may be said to include every place to which the actjof 1883 applied, excepting fouith class aiostinasteis and minor position specifically excluded About all President MeKInle'y could do would be to fill the fouith class post olllces' with fellow Hepubllcans und follow the example of his tluee prede cesors by then diawing the civil sei vlce coverlet ovei them, There Is no use oiylng over spilled milk. What the pieslilents have done cannot be un done. Their acts weie under authority' of the law- of 1SS3 and will have to stand unless the law is icpealed, which i 1 I It will not he unless theie Is a wonder ful chanse of public sentiment, Hut there aie some places left, and, as a rule, they aie tho best ones tho piesldents have ever had within theli gift.
