MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1897.
The Ofiicers Within Sight.
It is well for the political expectants
to know exactly to what extent the offi-
~ ces under the government are removed
from political control by the civil ser-
vice law. There are 178,717 offices in
the civil service branch of the gov-
ernment, and of these 87,107 are in the
classified service, or under the civil ser‘
vice, laws of the nation. This would
leave 91,610 places which may be
changed by political changes in the
government, and of these 8,854 are em-
ployed simply as laborers.
Of the appointments which may be
changed by the new administration
4,815 are nominated by the President
to the Senate for confirmation, and
there are 66,725 Postmasters of the
fourth,clas=, who may be removed by
the Postmaster General at will. In ad-
dition to these Postmasters and persons
who are employed only as laborers, the
administration will have 16.031 places
at its disposal.
The more important and generally
lucrative offices are those appointed by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate, but they, with few exceptions,
when confirmed by the Senate, are
commissioned for a specific time, gen-
erally for four years. It has be-
come the, unwrittten law of administra-
tions that as a matter of courtesy to his
predecessor, the new President will not
remove these important officials until
the expiration of their commissions.
BresidentCIeveland enforced that rule
when he succeeded Arthur; President
Harrison recognized. it when he sncc
ceeded Cleveland, and Cleveland has
continued to recognize it during his
second administration.
As this policy is based upon the cour-
tesy due from the President to his
predecessor, it is questionable whether
’ McKinleywill continue in office until
the expiration of their terms as a mat-
ter of courtesy to Cleveland, those nifi-

cials who became active partisans in
favor of cheap money and repudiation
against the proclaimed policy of the
President who appointed them.
It is given out that Preside nt Mc-
Kinley will not devote attention to the
appointment of his supporters to polit-
ical position beyond the probable selec-
tion of a number of foreign ministers,
until after the adjournment of the
special session of Congress. The ad-
ministration has agreat work to per-
form in starting the new Congress on
the right line, and it would be very
embarrassing to the President and also
to many members of the Senate and
House, if in the midst of such a struggle
they are complicated by their appeals
to the President for the appointment of
their‘favcrites. It looks as if those who
are least importunate for official posi-
. tion until the adjournment of the extra
session of Congress, will be in the best
favor with the claw administration.
