Olande M.. Johnson, of Kentucky, and pays @ salary of $4,500 a year. Mi. Meredith, of Qhicago, held the office undersshe Harrison ad- ministration, and is a candidate for reappointment, but Mr. John- son cannot be removed . except upon charges, and his successor must be selected by competitive examination. Lhe same rule ap- plies to the two chief engravers lin the bureau, who receive sala- ries of $6,000 each,to the assistant -|superintendent*who receives $2,- 200, and tothe chief clerk. it is perfectly proper and reasonable |that the subordinate officers of this bureau should be appointed ‘by competitive examination, but the superintendent, who cccupies & very delicate and responsible position, and has charge of adl the goyeynment money, should be se- lected by the head of the depart- ment. He gives no bond, and Mr. Gage must be respopsidle for his conduct and honesty, although he has no voice in his selection, A similar discovery has been made at the posteffice depart: ment, where Postmaster General Gary is amazed to find that his legal adviser, the assistant attor- ney general for that department, must also be appointed by com- petitive examination. There sre a&dczen or more canaidates for this office, as there are for chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, and when Postmaster General Gary made a selection in the person of a gentleman in whom he had confidence he was informed that the present incum- bent could only be removed upon charges, and that his successor must be certified after examina- tion by the civil seryice commis~ sion. Secretary Algier bas discovered that he has not influence enough in the war department to appoivt his own private secretary. Every body within sight is under tne civil seryice rules. He brought a man from Detroit who had long occupied a confidential relation to him, and desired to continue bimin asimilar ca:acity during his official career. But there is no position in the war department Open to such a person withoui entering the regular competition through the civil service exami- nation. A few Obio men have not yet made their wants known; out they are being heard from right along. Senator Foraker is opposed to the plan of making no gexerai distribation of offices until af- ter the tariff bill become a law. Rumor has it that he told the president so yesterday. Mr. Foraker thinks the “bourgeoise and the men in blouses,” as Mr. Quay calls them, expected their reward soon after Mr. McKinley became president, and that they should not be disappointed. It has also been suggcsted that the administration would not hurry the taritf legislation by the pur- suit of the talked of course; in Ot::er Words, that the senators are uot ready to trade their votes for offices.— Washington Post. ee All Records Broken, ede eesial On Saturday, March 6th. the Atlantic Coast Line’s.
