It is estimated that no less than gue-third of the entire number of these | | offices pay less than $100 per annum. While in some cases the im; ce of the office |in not measured by the salary at- tached, yet after all that is what the average political worker is after. the number of offices that have » desirable at- tachment in the shape of a comfortable salary, there is = good deal in this line which interests tbe dominant party. The clerks in the Post Office Department, especially those in the office of the fret sasistant’s office, are looking for- ward with apprehension to the approachiny change, for it means work for them and. lots of it. All the papers in the cases of changes in Post offices are handdied in this office. When | the democratic first ausintant gets firmly seated in his place and his name is recognized by the disbursing officer of the department then be will want to get a lively move on official business, especially as to that which relates to up ments, Most of the clerks have been through thix experience once or twice at any rate, and they know what it means. There are longer hours and harder work, and after all in said and | done appointments canuot be made half as fast | asthe popular demand requires. It would be | necessary to make appointments at the rate of nearly 200. day to replace all the republican ‘tmasters with democrats within u year. it is not Lelieved that this will be possible with the present clerical force. In order to keep up the current work it will not be possible to make rage more than twenty appointments At this rate it will take veveral years to make « complete change. i ERAL. Not ly That He Will Come From Ohio or Penosylvania. It ts expected that some action will be taken before long in the matter of filling the vacancy in the office of the first assistant postmaster general. While no one has been definitely fixed ‘upon for that place, yet it {s thought probable that the postmaster general will adhere to his usual policy in making appoiutments and pro- mote some one already in the servi: In such an event the appointment will naturaily be made from the ranks of the postmasters of large cities. ‘The office is no longer « political one, a: the duties in connection with~ appointments of postmasters now devolve upon the fourth as- sistant postmaster general. The place really requires a man who is familiar with the postal service, and as he acts in absence of the Postmaster General in a measure the first assistant may be said to represent the Postmaster General. Mr. Wanamaker, however, does not intend to make this appoint= | ment a personal one in the sense that he will select friend to fill the vacancy. He to have aman there who is postal service, and his wishis to select some one who, by bis administration of the important duties which belong to a post- master in one of the large cities, has shown a familiarity with and ability to master the de- tails of postal administration. It is not to be | expected that the appointee, whoever he may be, will continue in service after the end of the | present administration, but the selection of = | prominent postal official will not only be in the | line of civil service promotion, but it will be a recognition of faithful service which it is be- | lieved will have a wholesome effect upon the tire corps of post office officials. The name of James M. Brown, the postmaster at Toledo. Obio, has been mentioned in connection with this ‘place. While Mr. Brown is known at the department as one of best postmasters in the country, is not likely that his services’ will be recognized in this way. One thing that will operate against his selection for this vacancy is the fact that be hails from tho state of Obio. There are so many officials of the department from the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania that the department bas been jocularly named the P. O. D., or the Pennsylvania and Ohio department. The Postmaster General is a reri- dent of the former state, and so are the second assistant, the third assistant and the chief clerk, while the sons of Ohio are represented by the fourth assistant and by the auditor, and, as is well known,Col. Whitfield, the late first as- sistant, is an Obio man. gee THE INDIAN SCHOOLS. | | | | Mrs. Dorchester Keporta Much Improve- ment Comfort and Healthfulness. Mrs. M. A. Dorchester, special agent for the Indian school service, has traveled with her husband almost continuously for three and a half years past visiting Indian schools and reservations. Inher annual report just ren- dered she refers to the improvement in school buildings in the lines of comfort, safety, bealth- fulness and general respectability, and she con- gratulates the service that she does not now find dormitories bitterly cold, partially boarded in or so insecurely propped that strong wind would necessitate anight muster of pupils in the yard. Laundries have been furnished with washing machines and other needed appliances and suit- able rooms tor washing, ironing and drying clothes have been provided, so that young girls are no longer burdened beyond their strength or unduly exposed to cold and wet while under- taking to manage the washing required ina large school. While no change has been made in the rations allowed Indian schools a great improvement has been found in the variety and quality of food furnished the table. On the the whole, while much remains to be | done. and further improvement is still needed im many lines, the tone of the Indian school service in general and in detail, Mrs. Dorchester says, shows that an earnest and conscientious effort is being put forth on the part of those | connected with it so as to bring it up toa| high standard industrially, intellectually aud morally. = Coanting | | FIMST ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GEN-4 bill. number of others for the purpose of discussing | yy the party has in charge | they shall take hold of first, The fact that Speaker Crisp, who arrived in Washington with bis wife and danghter late Saturday night, left for New York last night is in keeping with the story of s conference. It ix uncertain whether | Mr. Cleveland will be present or merely be rep- | resented by Mr. Whitney. The questions discussed will probably be the | desirability of culling anextra session, the treat- ment of the tariff and what is to be done with the perplexing financial questions. On this latter proposition it in understood that Mr. Whitney is violently oppored to the talked of repeal of the tax on state bank circulation, which was indorsed in the platform and will be | favored by iw latge majority of the democratic | | members of both houses of Congress. | THX EXTRA SESSION TALE. ‘The matter of an extra sersion ix being much | more seriously diseassed amoug the democratic lenders than it was at first nud it ix beginning such a session unless he ix willing to ignore the | wishes of those democrats in Congress who arc | anxions for a comiplete revision of the tariff. It is probable that as a result of the New York | conference Mr. Cleveland will be urged to ax-| semble the Fifty-third Congress before the end of March next. There is a great doal of opposition among democrats to the proposition for « tariff commission, Their anxiety ix to | geta ways and means committee uppointed early so that the work of preparing their bill mur be begun. It is already apparent that a great many snags are going to be struck by this committee and the prospects ure that there will be considerable fighting within the party ranks before an agreement will be reached on any ‘THE POLICY OF THE PARTY. > Tt is probuble that the policy of thp party for the immediate future will be not to attempt to accomplish anything at this session of Con- ress, but to get together early in March for the purpose of organizing the House. The ways and means committee then appointed may report at once in « formal way the sevetal tariff bilis that were passed by the House lest. session end then take up xt once the consideration of a eneral revision of the tariff. Meanwhile the ‘ongress may pass the several separate tariff bills already completed, xo as to put them into operation at once, and then take recess antil fall, when the ways and means committee will be expected to be ready to report « general | tariff bill. Before taking u recess if a special ceseion ix called an attempt may be made to repeal existing federal election laws and to repeal the bank tax, ee "TWAS ON HIS MIND. Thought It Was the OMces He Was to Re Questioned Abont. A distinguished statesman, who occupies a veat in the House and whose district ix close enough for his constituents to see the fleshpots, | was seen bya STAR reporter, who sought to gain his views on some important questions of state which the democratic party will have to deal with very soon. “You are confident,” he was asked, ‘that the party will do the right thing, now that they have all the responsibility?” “Why, gracious! I hope a0." he replied. “Do you doubt it? Why, of course, Cleveland will do the right thing “It will require much wisdom to meet the situation,” it was suggested. “If the people re not satistied you cannot hope to retain power.” “Of course not; of course not,” replied the statesman. ‘That is just what I say. The people must besatisfied. This was their elec- tion and they must be given what they want. I | think Mr. Cleveland should go to the furthest extreme and we should respond to the desire of the people promptly.” “Do you think there will be— “A clean sweep?” he broke in. Ido.

I thonght you were talking of the offices," the statesman replied, with an expression of fatigue coming over his face. ———— ‘Taking an Extra Session Poll. The New York Heraldrecently sent out to the members-elect of the House of the Fifty-third Congress the following questions: First—Are | you in favor of an extra session, and if 80, why? If not, why not? Second—Do you believe in the repeal of the McKinley bill or simply a mod- ification of it, a modification that would insure a tariff for’ revenue only? The Herald pub- lishes the results of the inquiries todty. One | hundred and ninety-nine of the 356 Congress men have replied to the Herald's inquiries as follows: In favor of extra session, 79; opposed | to extra session, 81; non-committal, 39; favor | | repeal of McKinley bill, 81; favor modification of bill, 46; opposed to any change in bill, 60; non-committal, 12, eet. ‘The Deaths on the Weimer, Acting Secretary Spaulding was much sur- prised and not a little incensed when he read in the morning papers today that fourteen deaths had oceurred on the Weimer while she lay at quarantine in Chesapeake bay and that 100 of the immigrants were eo sick when the.vessel reached Baitimore that they were removed to the hospitals. Mr. Spaulding said that he had inquired almost daily to the health of the immigrants and had been advised by Dr. Wyman, supervising sur- geon general of the marine hospital service, that the health of the immigrants and crew was good. In fact he had not known of even one case of sickness, much less of any deaths.

SCOTT WORSE TODAY. It is Feared That He in Slowly Nearing His Ena. The conditon of Dr. Scott, the President's veneral father-in-law, who was reported yester- day as improving, is not vo favorable this morn- ing and it is feared he is slowly nearing his end. He improved so much Saturday that the family were encouraged to believe he was on the safe point: | to lok as if Mr. Cleveland would be led to call | Tad to recovery, but last night he had another relapse, which, while not so severe as its prede- cessor, threw bim back considerably.

Owing to his extreme age the family are naturally alarmed at his evident declin Cutter With = Protected Steel Deck Not Considered a War Vessel, ‘The fact that the British government has Just launched at Owne's bay sound, Canada, a | modern steam revenue cutter which may easily be transformed into an effective war vessel does not create that degree of apprehension in Washington that might be expected for the very good reason that allof the facte in the caso have long beeu knowu to the officials of the Department of State and the Navy Depart- ment, and have sutisfied themselves that there hax been no breach of the. treaty stipulation that there shall be but one war ressel of each of the two nations on the luke 5 the first of the new was building last year an er of the United States navy visited the shi yard and closely examined the new vessel.

The President was busily engaged this morn- nd kept the clerks at the Executive Mansion hustling to keep up with him iu typewriting his copy. No one was received by him this morning, though many talled, among them Senator Dolph and Minis- ter Thomson (to Turkey) and Senator Hiscock and T. ©. Platt. This afternoon ex-Senator Sewell of New Jersoy hada few minutes’ talk with the President. It iu intimated that if the President can com- plete his message before Congress convenes he will seize the opportunity to leave the city for & few days’ rest. 2 US eee To Select the Vatican Kelics. Mr. J. C. Heywood, an American citizen now a resident of Rome, has been selected by the Secretary of State to aasist at the Vatican in the selection of the relics which are to be shipped to the world’s Columbian exposition. Mr. Hey- wood, who formerly lived in Philadelphia, is a man of considerable wealth, is a profound stu- dent and is said to be more familiar with the and records of the Vatican than any American in Italy. He will serve without com- pensation and has cheerfully undertaken his task. ‘The originals of all the maps, charts and pic- tures and fac similes of the records and docu- ments on file in the archives that relate to Co- lumbus and the discoveey and early settlement of America will be furnished. ‘The cardinal has expressed the greatest interest in the success of the exposition and the desire of the Vatican to show respect and esteem for the President and the government of the United States. ——— oe Political Refugees on American Vessels. The State Department is advised by the United States minister to Nicaragua of a re- cent decision by the supreme court of Grenada upon an international point which will have an important bearing upon the relations be- tween the United States and Central and South American countries. ‘The decision was made in the celebrated case of Gomez, which at one time assumed interna- tional proportions. In 1885 Gomez, who was a Nicaraguan political refugee, embarked at a Guatemalan port on board the Pacific mail steamship Honduras, Capt. McCrae command- ing, bound for Costa Rica. While in guan waters the ship was boarded by the au- thorities of that country, who demanded that Gomez should be given up to them, but Capt. McCrae refused and was compelled to leave port without his clearance papers, Criminal proceedings were brought against the captain in the Nicaraguan courts and it was understood that he was found guilty. It now appears that Judge Pineda of the criminal court acquitted Capt. McCrae, holding that he was not compelled to deliver the refugee. ‘The case was carried to the supreme court of Grenada and that tribunal has sustained the lower court. A dispatch from Indianapolis printed this morning states that a warm personal friend of the President is authority for the information that Mr. Harrison will make a visit to Europe next summer or fall and spend several months there studying the economic conditions of the countries of Europe. and that upon his return will write a book contrasting the condi- tions of labor and of manufacturing interests in American and English cities. ‘The dispaten further stated that Private Secretary Halford wonld accompany him. As for his business ans it was stated that Mr. Harrison would form a law partnership in Indianapolis with Attorney General Miller, John B. Elam and Ferd. Winter. Private Secretary Halford said toa Stag re- porter this afternoon that he had heard nothing of the intentions of the President which would lead him to believe that he contemplated a European trip. Mr. Marrison, he said, will probably take a long rest and ‘make his rosi- dence in Indianapolis, where he will continue the practice of law. pee Hallinger Denied a Writ of Habeas Corpus.

The town of Benedict, Charles county, Md., one of the oldest towns in the state, witha population of about 150 or 200 people, has never hada church until within the lact few days, when a very large and handsome Metho- dist Church was completed and dedicated. There is no church near this old historic town, and their only mode of worship was on board a steamboat, one of the Weems line of steamers which lies over at that place every Sunday, and the Weems Steam- boat Company's people have given the people at that place the privilege of using their boats that might lay over at that point fora place to worship. This has been the custom for a number ‘of years. Benedict is doubtless about 100 years old, according to his- tory, and lies on the west bank of the Patuxent river, about thirty miles from Hill's Landing and about the same distance from its mouth. It was at Benedict that Gen. Ross landed bis troops of 4,500 men in August, 1814, when they marched into Washington. ‘They also em- barked at that place. ‘The new church is under the pastorate control of Wm.

Butler, who lives at Linden, was a prisoner in the Police ficer Green, also colored, who is in the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The ar- rest, Butler asserts, was the result of his shouting “Hurrah for Cleveland” while on a train a week ago Saturday night. According to his side of the affair he was on hi: way home with some medicine for his was sick, and when he shouted for C another ked, “Listen at that nigger shouting for Cleve- land. He denied that ho had been drinking. All he had was one drink ont of the bottle of a white man who sat beside him in the car. hree-thirds of the people in the car, said, “were shouting ‘Hurrah for Hayes.

Riis tm the Forum. | “The right to repress or suppress undesirable immigration reets with the general government. | Wecan only protest against having our city | made the dumping ground for half the poverty | | and ignorance and vice of the old world, and abide the result. But if we cannot do much | for or with the old immigrant who comes to | stay with us we can do almost anything with his boy. With the children lies the solution of | this troublesome riddle. I would have them gathered into our kindergartens and industrial | schools while they are very young. I would have the societies that conduct these supported and endowed as the very best investment that could be made to draw interest in good citizen- ship tocome. T would have their schooling surrounded with much better safeguards than now through the enforcement of the compul- sory educational law,the amendment of it to af- fix atime limit within which the child's four- teen weeks a year in school must come, the appointment of a sufficient number of truant officers and the establishment of a truant home where the boy may be safe. At present we are in the illogical position of resting the bor for fear he may become a thief by idling in the «treets and then locking him up with thieves to make sure he will catch the con- tagion. I would have the birth certificate of the child that labors in factories substituted by law for the present oath of its father that it is of legal age, which leads to perjury and child | | slavery and ties the factory inspector's hands. | would have the heaith department prodded into doing its duty of compelling doctors and midwives to register all births, as the la manda the t the regist soon become an effectual aid to the factor: spector. Meanwhile I would let no foreign- born child that is not clearly of age go to work ina shop, except upon the evidence of « birth certificate from abroad. | would have the law forbidding the selling of liquors to a child enforced mstead of laughed at, as itis now. I would have the special court | for trial of juvenile offenders, where they may not mingle with old thieves ard criminals, made a salutary fact as soon as possible. it has been talked of long enough. I would have some competent official appointed by the legislature without deldy to have the supervision of the public institutions where children are kept, with power to take them out and board them out when be saw fit; and I would bave parents who put their children into the institutions merely to get ridof them until they are old enough to earn wages severely punished. I would have some sort of ahome or house estab- lished in the country somewhere for the unhap- piest of all the bupless little wretches of our strects—the crippled children, whom no one wants. Finally, having all these plasters to cnre the evil that besets us, I would reach awa; down under it and pull it’ up by the roots by wresting our municipal government and our municipal politics out of the grasp of the sa- joon. manners—by giving the voters something better than the saloon when they arg looking for it. I would put club rooms minus the rum in the | crowded quarters and invite the young men in | from the streets to enjoy themselves in any | way they saw fit. I would encourage them | | to discuss there the current topics of the day— | they would not need much enouragement— | and when election time came around politics | would naturally come up on top. Young men 80 trained would, when the time to vote came, be sure to give a good account of themselves. | | We have saloon politics now because the saloon is the poor man’s club. Give him a better ciub | and you will have better voting. It is all simple | and natural. Nor is there anything Utopian in he club plan. It Las worked to a charm here mong the boys, and men are nothing but big boys after all. ‘That done we shall have fallen | into Franklin’s way in good earnest, and it will be a question of time merely, if we are not swamped in immigration, when we shall reall | have led or driven the poor out of their pov. erty, even in spite of the tenement.” sateen | | Keeping to the Right. From the Philadelpiia Press. Toan American the universal London sign, “Keep to the left,” seems a perversion of things. Modern signs in Liverpool, “Keep to the right,” seem more in place, though it can- not be determined why they exist. It may pos- sibiy be an effort to introduce a change at this ort, so much in touch with American ideas. A mdoner was questioned on the subject. Hein- sisted that there could be no euch signs in Liver- pool, or if there they must refer to foot pas: sengers, that the rule of the road was universal. | Hehad never heard of the American or the | ilar continental usage. Certain it is that Liverpool signs exist and in the center of drive- , as if indicating that the direction was for teams, It is also certain that teams there still keep to the left as in the rest of England. In America, where coaching was never 50 much in use as in England, we were left free to use our common sense. That we, while closely related to the mother country and getting most customs from her, should have adopted, and #0 universally, a directly opposite method would seem to infer, ax here claimed, a natural law.
