The press of the fc untry, republican as well as <1 emoett itic, -e ans to he very well pleeeed w ith the President s action in bringing at least a part of the consular service under the civil service regu’ations. Leading papers all regard tho action as a long step in the direction of taking the govern ment’s commercial agencies out of partisan politics and there is no doubt that th i payers refitv’t public senti ment in tlif s matter. N„w thf next, otfiees to he taken out of politics arc the fourth-class post masterships. It will la; conceded that there is even more reasons why the , postoftices should be i egsrded as busi i nets iiistituiions, and’ not political prizes, than why the coassulates should be so regarded. Comparatively few business interests i.i this country have direct relations with our consels; there, is scarcely a business interest in the country that is not directly or in directly the patron of the fourth-class postoffices. The postotFice de art ment and the civil sendee commission are very much interested in bringing the oflices under the full op ration of tlie civil service law, and it is said to he the opinion among well-informed * persons in Washington that before j the end of * m cui icnt administration the actio:, accessary to that end will he t rt k(• ii Tin j’. a <■ 'no;c than (15,0</0 fourth ( i.0.-j.ii i ill, in this country and the mi.ulni i- camtantlv increasing.
