CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The Post said, " Now Major Atkinson has returned to office, he will no doubt bring back with him the celebrated report on Civjl Service reform which was furnished by Messrs. Seed and Batkin shortly before the general election in 1884, and which he persisted in treating as a private and confidentail document, instead of a public record. Although - removed from the Ministerial pijeonbolee, no doubt Major Atkinson has retained the precious document in some private repository of its own. Whether it has got stale, or has improved by keeping, we cannot of course tell, but certainly Major Atkinson has had ample time to fully consider all its recommendations or suggestions, and he ought now to be able to bring a very mature judgement to bear on the question which will necessarily occupy a prominent place in the policy of any new Ministry, as being inseparably connected with the subject of retrenchment."
