The duty of appointment is devolved by tbe con-titution or by the law, and the ap pointing officers ar© properly held to a high resp'tnsibility in itsS exercise. Th* growth (J the country nnd th© consequent increase of the civil list have magnified this function of the executive disproportionately. It cannot be tienied, however, that the labor connected vritli this necessary work is in- creased ofTen to th© point of actual distress by the sudden an ! excessive demands that are made upon an incoming administration for removals and appointraents. But on the other hand it is not true tnat incumbency is a conclusive argument for a continuance in office. Impartiality, modera tion, fidelity to public duty, and a good attainment in the discharge of it must be added before the argument is complete. When those holding administrative offices so conduct themselves as to convince just political opponents that no party considera tion or bins affects in any way the discharge of their public duties, we can more easily fled service great benefit would accrue from th* all private eroploymeriis comes from except onid faithful less and ©fii-ieiicv in the performance of Th? la-sv- no'-v provMeis a pension for every a reeora might not ho kept in each bureau of ail soldier and .sailor who tvas mustered into tlis | those elements that are covered by Mij terms service of tbe United I'^thtes durinr the civil “faithfulness\' and “ IHdeney” and a rating made, .showing the ivlct^ave merits of the clerk* of each class, this rating to be regarded aa « Mil of merit in m*kingpromotioo8.
