neeption and Growth of the Non
Partisan Method of Choosing*
Puible ervants.
For the first time in many months a full
iembership of the Men's Club of Northeast
Vashington was present last evening at
ie club's hall, 408 H street northeast. The
iembers and their guests listened to an ad
rews on "The Principles of the Civil Ser
ice of the United States" by Mr. James
1. Garfield of the United States civil service
Dmmission. There was a large number
f government employes, residents of the
ortheastern section of the city, also pres
at. Mr. GaTed concluded his remarks
i about one hour, 'and announced that if
ny one wished to propound questions re
.rding the operations of the civil service
Lw he would be pleased to answer them.
The invitation was accepted, and ques
,ons wereLfIred, at the offcial -as .fast as he
Duld respond. In answer to some ques
ions Mr. Garfield admitted that the civil
ervice commission was not altogether sat
ifled with the existing conditions, but was
oing all it could to extend the scope of Its
ower.
Mr. Garfield began his address by taking
is auditors back to the time of George
Vashington, who, the speaker said, was
pposed to nepotism and always refused to
ppoint a relative to an office. The speaker
aid the idea of civil service was really
onceived at that day, for the reason that
Len who were appointed to offices in the
ilitary and civil departments of the gov
rnment were chosen upon merit and were
ppointed to the department to which they
rere best fitted. During the early days
f our history, Mr. Garfield declared, the
rntted States sent to Europe untrained
ien, but honest, educated ones, who were
iore than able to cope with the polished
iplomats of the continental countries. The
peaker averred that this was because
ere was honesty in the administration of
,e government, which resulted in the best
ien being appointed to the offices.
Thera Came a Change.
"At the end of the first twenty-five years.

an Buren came in, everything was chang

nd politics were dirtier then than they
re now. Even Jackson and Van Buren
tw that in the army and navy men to

nd capable men were appointed in these
wo branches, while the vicious politicians
'ized upon the civil branch of the gov
*nment. In this way the army and navy
came separated from the civil arm.
very four years things were turned up
de down. Good men were removed and
id ones given their places.
"After Jackson's time the government be
Ln to suffer losses through dishonest office
ylders, and in six years every public offi
al in New York had either been arrested
r stealing public money or fled the coun
y. With the civil war came a need for
nomy, and reform was talked of. In
69 the standard for better things was
Ised, but there was a hard battle to be
ught. Various administrations had-taken
the idea that the spoils belonged to the
.ctor, and it was hard to convince people
tat this was not a good doctrine.
"During Grant's administration a law was
Lssed and an effort was made to intro
ice the merit system. But Congress want
I the patronage. In 1883 a better and
ore stable law for the improvement of the
vil service was passed. The people ob
cted to it because it looked English.
htey said every American citizen was capa
e of holding arry office under the govern
ent-if he could get it. In England the
'rors of the system were appreciated by
e nobles themselves, who had had the
Ltronage, and they amended their lajw so
at any Englishman could hold office un
r the British government."
Gained Supporters Yearly.
Mr. Garfield declared that year by year
e idea of reform gained more supporters
the country, until now the civil service
stem is an established fact, and the ques
-n confronting the country is not how far
extend it, but how good to make it. The
-esent conditions, Mr. Garfield said, were
Lined after years of struggle and still the
rstem is not perfect. The merit system,
e speaker declared, has become a funda
ental part of the government and the
ople all over the country advocate it.
f the 240,000 persons employed by the
>vernment, 120,000 are under the civil
rvice. Mr. Garfield said that the failure
the law in many instances is due to the
et that the old spoils system has not yet
en thoroughly outgrown. The men left
er from the spoils system, said Mr. Gar
Mld, will be dropped and are being drop
d day by day, and within ten or fifteen
ears the governmental departments will
.1 be under the civil service.
The administration of the law, Mr. Gar
ed declared, has improved marvelously
uring the last ten years. Last year there
ere 86,000 applicants for office. Of this
umber 10.000 were appoin-ted under the
vil service. Mr. Garfield said there are
lore than 400 different kinds of examina
ons and that papers are marked absolute
'f.ree of favoritism.
Incentive to Good Service.
The speaker said there used to be an idea
at once in government employ under the
tvii service a man would hold his position
>r life, and that he could not be removed.
he government, he declared, is weeding
ut poor workemen, and today there is an
ientive for every man to do his best
>r Uncle Sam. He noted instances where
essengers and laborers had become heads
Sdepartments under the merit system.
Commissioner Ware. Mr. Garfield said, is
rdeavoring to bring this condition about
Sthe pension office. The commissioner is
t only promoting deserving clerks but he
I reducing incompetent ones. Mr. Garfield
iso noted an instance where an ex-confed
rate soldier was promoted over the heads
fsome ex-Union men, because he was a
atter clerk. He said the United States has
rown away 'fromn being a small govern
tent ail4 is now spending hundreds of mil
ons of dollars where it formerly spent
undreds of thousands. It is on this ac
yunt, he continued, that the government
ants men of integrity, honesty and effi
tency for its service.

Distasteful Food.

home remarkable 'xperiments to show the
Imparative digestibility of different foods
ave recently been conducted by Prof. Paw
IW upon dogs. These experiments are de
~ribed by Cr. Romme in La Revue for Au
ust.
The gullet of the animal was cut in ee
ons and fixed to the deck, so that when it
te the food merely fell to the ground, and
ie stomach was divided into two parts,
no where no food was allowed to pen
trate, the other into which was put the
>od neessary to keep the dog alive.
The results of the experiments proved
at the mere- offering to the dog of food
rhich he liked caused an abundant secre
ton of astric juice, although of course
othing adentered the stomach. If he
rere given a dainty-not merely food which
e liked-the flow of gastric juice was mntch
core abundant-that is, food taken without,
ppetite will fall into a stomach without'
ny gastric juice ready for it. The work of
igestion was formerly supposed to go on
I right if only you can get the food to the
tomach. The Pawlow experiments -show
tat it is either not digested at all or very
edly digested.
Again, the brain transmits its orders to
