Commons, affects in the neighbor- hood of 2,300 positions and is most thorough in its ro1uiremeuts. It provides for first appointment to the service on the merit. system, as the result of open competition examina- ytions mafia: {the contra! 01 the Civil Service CommiSSioners. A reservation. which seems necessary, is made in. fin-a, case of certain officers whqpeed special qualifications. . ; Thereoare to be 2t_wo Commissioners mane English and the other French speaking, and they cannot be remoVed from office by the governmemt, but to secure their removal they must be impeached as is the case of the Audi- tor-General and [the Judges. Sundry provisions have also been taken :to prevent influence from being brought. to'bear upon the Commissioners in favor of particular applicants and that! subverting the underlying prin- ciple of the bill. The patronage evil is a very virulent one at; present, but under, th eprova'sions of the new. Act. future appointments being by qpen competitive examinations and results being, obtained by study rather than by fa‘Vor. it is unlikely, that candi- dates for appointment will have the pull which occasionany has the de- sired effect under existing conditions. Anf important characteristic of the bill is the institution of a third di- vision which might be called the Ron- tin.e' Division. It, is not intended that the people in this shall be anything but routine workers â€" copyists, type- wr rters, and so forth. As a. rule these people are not to be promoted to the second(dsivision, and when they dol so rise it must: be in competition with owtside‘ applicanqtg.
