MOKB PENSIONS BECOMXXKDXD.
The law now provides a pension for every
toldler and sailor who was mustered into the
servioe of the United States during the civil
war and 1* now suffering from wounds or dis¬
ease having on origin In the service and in the
Hue of duty. Two of the necessary facts, viz.:
muster and disability, are usually susceptible of
easy proof, but the third, origin in the service, it
often difficult, and in many deserving esses Im¬
possible to establish.. That very many of those
who endured the hardships ot our most bloody
and arduous campaign are now disabled from
diseases tbat bad a real but not traceable origin
In the service 1 do not doubt. Besides, there is
another class composed of men many of whom
served an enlistment of three years, of re-enlist¬

who escaped the casualties of battle and the as¬
sault* uf disease, who were always ready for any
detail, who were in every battle line of their

Many of the men who would be included in this

of these the secretary of the interior has called
attention.
It Is gratifying to be able to state that by the
adoption of new and better methods in the War
department, the calls of the pension office for

The advent af four new states, South Dakota,
North Dakota, Montana and Washington, Into
the Union under the constitution. In the same
month, and the admission of their duly chosen
representatives for the national congress at the

Interesting. The certification of the votes cast
and of the constitutions adopted in each of the
states was filed with me, a* required by the
eighth section of the act of February 22,1889, by
the governors of said territories respectively
Having. after a careful examination,
found that the several constitutions

The iutercets of the jieople of the District of
Columbia should nor be lost sight of in the
pressure for consideration of measures af¬
fecting the whole country. Having
no legislature of It* own, either
municipal or general. Its people must look to
congress for the regulation of all thorn concerns
which, In the states, ore subject to local control.
Our whole people have on Interest that the na¬
tional capital should be attractive and beautiful,
and above all, that its repute for social order
should be well maintained. The laws regulating

CIVIL 8KBVICX COMMISSION.
On the fourth of March last the civil service
commission had but a single member. The va¬
cancies were filled on the seventh day of May,
and since then the commissioners haVe been In¬
dustriously, though with an Inadequate force, en¬
gaged in executing the law. They were assured
by me that a cordial support would be given
them in the faithful and Impartial enforement of
the law and the rules and regulations adopted In
aid of it. Heretofore the book of eligible* has
been closed to everyone except as certifications
were made upon the requisition of the
appointing officers. This secrecy was the
source of much suspicion and of many
charges of favoritelsm in the administration of
the law. What Is secret Is always suspected.
What Is open can be judged. The commission,
with the full approval of all Its members, has
now opened the list of eligibles to the public.
The eligible lists for the classified postafflees and
custom bouses are now publicly potted in tbs
respective offices, os are also the certifications for
appointment*. The purpose of the civil service
law was alisolutely to exclude any other
consideration in connection with appointments
under it than of merit as testedby the examina-
eds uponthotheory that
ppointing
sly ignorant as to political
views and associations of all persons on the civil
service lists. It Is not too much to say, however
that some recent congresslonol Investigation!
have somewhat shaken public confidence in the
impartiality of the selections for appointment.
The reform of the civil service will make no safe
or satisfactory advance until the present law
and its equal administration are well established
in the confidence of the people, ' ft will be my
Pi teasure, as it is my duty, to see that the law
executed with firmness irmness and Impartiality.
some of its provisions have been fraudulently
evaded by appointing officers our reeentinent
should not suggest the repeal of the law, but re¬
form in its administration. We should hare
one view of the matter and hold It with a sin¬
cerity that is not affected by the consideration
that the party to which we belong is for the
time in power. *
My predecessor, on the 4th of January, 18*9,
on executive order to take effect March 18th,
brought the railway mail service under the op¬
eration of the civil servioe law. Provision was
made that the order should take effect sooner in
any state where an eligible list was sooner ob¬
tained. On the llth day of March Mr. byman,
then the only in member of the commission, re¬
ported to me writing that it would not be pos
Bible to have the list of eligibles ready before
May 1, and requested that the taking effect oi
the order must be postponed until that tihie
which was done, subject to the same provision
contained In the original order as to the states
in which an eligible list was sooner Obtained.
As a result of the revision of the rules, of the
new classification and of the inelusions,the labor
of the commission has been greatty increased
and the present clerical force is foun
adequate. equa 1 recommend that the additional
rks asked by tlie le commission con be appropriated
for. Tbe duty of appol appointment!- devolved by the
constitution or by the law and the appointing
officers are properly held to a high
responsibility in its exercise. The growth of
the country and the consequent increase of the
civil list have magnified this function of the
executive disproportionally. It cannot be de¬
nied, however, that the labor connected with
this necessary work is increased, often to the
point of actual distress, by the sudden and ex¬
cessive demands that are made upon an incom¬
ing administration for removals and ap¬
pointment*. But on the other hand,
it is not tme that incumbent ncy
is a conclusive argument for a continuance in
office. Impartial! it-y, moderation, fidelity to pub-
lie duty, and a good od attainment at in thy discharge
of it must be added before the argument is com¬
plete. When those holding administrative
offices so conduct themselves as to convince just
political opponents tliat no party consideration
or bias affect.-- in any way titej|jj|cbarge of their
public duties, we can more eSfly fiy sUy the de-
mend for removals.
I am eatisliri that both in and out of the classi¬
fied service, great benefit would accrue from the
adoption of some system by which the officer
would receive the distinction and benefit that,
in all private employments, come* from excep¬
tional faithfulness and efficiency in the perform¬
ance of dut;. I have suggested to tire heads of
the executive department* that they consider
whcthCT a record might not be kept in each bu¬
reau ot alFthovc elec: r t- tlu.t are covered hythe
terms ’’Faithfulns* '' and -‘Efficiency,” and a
rating made showing the relative merits of
the clerks n,' each class. This rating to be re¬
garded as a tost of merit in making promotions.
I have also suggested to the postmaster-general
that he tub some plan by which be can, upon
the basis of the re j ort- to the department and
of frequent in*i>< rt!< u*. Indicate th* relative
tnvn i at postmasters et &aeh class. They will
be apprep priatoiy Indicated in the official regis-
ter and In the report of the department. That a
great stimulus would thus be given to the whole
tervlce 1 do not -.doubt, and such a record would
be the beet defense against inconsiderate re¬
movals from office,

In civil life they are now th* tollers at tbtir
comunities, making their full contribution* to
the winding stream* of prosperity which these
communities ore receiving. Their redden with¬
drawal would stop production and bring disor¬
der Into the household as well os into the shop.
Generally they do not desire to quit their homes
and the employee resent th# interference of the
immigration agents who seek to stimulate sunk
n desire.
But, notwithstanding nil this. In many puts ot
ear country where the colored papulation is
large the people ed that race ate, by various ds-
vlcee, deprived of any at effective exercise at the
political right* and many of the civil righto.
The wrong does not expend Itself upon those
whose votes are suppressed; erery constituency
la the union is wronged. It has been the hop*
of erery patriot that a sense of Jnstiee and at
respect for Urn law wouUl wofk a gradual cure
of these flagrant evils. Surely no one supposes
that the. present con be accepted
cepted as a pemonent condition. If it
is sold that these community must work
out this problem for themselves, we have e right
to ask whether they are at work upon It. Do
they suggest any solution* When, and under
what conditions, is the black man to hare n free
ballot'/’ When is he, in fact, to hare thee* fail
civil rights which have so long been his in law!
When is that equality of influence, which our
form of govermeat ns intended to secure to the
electors, to be restored? This generation should
courageously face these grave questions and not
leave them as a heritage of woe of the next.
The consultation should proceed with candor,
calmness and great patience, upon th* linss of
justice and humanity, and not of prejudice
and cruelty. No question in our country can be
at rest exoept upon th* firm base of justice and
of the law. I earnestly invoke the attention of
congress to the consideration of such measures,
within iu well defined constitutional powers, as
will secure tool) our people a free exnoise of
the right of suffrage and every other right under
the constitution and law* of th* United Matos.
No evil, however deplorable can justify
the assumption, either on the port
of the executive or of cong r ess,
at powers not granted, but granted both will be highly
blamable it all powers are not wisely
but firmly used to correct these evil*
The power to take the whole
and oontrol of the election of. the
of the house of representatives is clearly
to the general government. A partial and qoal
tiled supervision of these elections is now
vided for by law, and In my
this law may be so strengthened

better results than can be attained by a law
