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

lie will be able to console them bv
showing them that thousands of good
Kepublicans, as well as less woith

President MeKInley might iemind
the ambitious ones that the clIl set

the civil service should be made subject

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.
