FEW CHANGES NEEDED.

Civil-Scr; ;■ <• Ccminlssioner Roosevelt Tait,r of i’edoral Olliees. Wnshhi.;ion, April ■!.—Civil Service Cornv.fi "j. ok f Roosevelt is thoroughly committed to the doctrine of including man;,- mo; offices under the civil service re:- : . s’p, >•; on this subject to a reporter, lie said: have got to have ci'll service reform n<>t only in the nation but in the slate aad the municipality. If you wish an illustration of t'. fact that the service r< ndered by a ijo:arnnst r has nothing to do with bis polities let me refer you to I’crhi■ r Zumstein of Cincinnati. who Ims jus!. 1" on supplanted i v Postmaster Brown an:! who himself four y<-.-;rs ago rvppluni< d Postmaster Rib v. Mr. Zumstcin was a republican.' For over two years he lias served under tie democratic postmaster-general,' Mr. Bissell. All through Mr. Bissell’s term, of service Mr. Zumstcin has been postmaster at Cincinnati. Nobody would know from any result visible in the operation of the post.-.l service that Postmaster Zumstcin was of one polities or another. He has given during this time precisely as good service as Postmaster Sullivan of Brooklyn or Postmaster Hc.slng at Chicago, both of them dcmocr ats. “It is just as absurd to turn out a letter-carrier because lie voted the wrong ticket no it would be to refuse goods delivered by an expressman who is out of sympathy with the dominant party. In •: great many postoffices throughout the country all the work is done by the assist mt postmaster, who is permanently retained. Ho could do his work Quite as well if there were not a postmaster. “There .will Ito no need of changing more than 100 officials in the treasury department to make a complete and radical revlsal in the tariff or financial policy of the government.”
