In order to forestall any jokes or ribald remarks, 'we wish to rise and re- mark that the proposed executive or- der placing postmasters under civil ser vice rules meets with our approbation. For two or three years we have antici pated such an crder, and while it is true tat we would be much better pleased if we held a job when the order goes into effect, nevertheless the principle is one to which we agree. There are undoubtedly bad features of civil service as applied in this country, but I we do not fear its extension as many good, men do who profess to see in it the establishment of an ofhceholdirig class who will seek to control the govern- ment in time, and demand more and more pay for their services, lo us.it seems a good thing to remove petty offices from the grasp of the politician but an improvement we believe would be found in making postmasters elective instead of appointive officers.
