Ttk most promising sign of the times for Mr. Cleveland the fact that the mugwump pressis finding fault with him “This began when the president made his square back down in the case of Benton and afterward displayed the cloven hoof of partisanship with respect to Stone. In these matters he found an apologist in only one prominent organ of mugwump- ery, aud the defense of that journal was strained and half hearted. A recent oe carrence, the removal of Mr. Coombs, one of the four general appraisers of merchandise on the Atlantic coast, furn- ishes another example of the president’s growing disposition as a partisen which does not sit well on the mugsvump stom ach and is characterized as “nearly the worst offense chargeable against the ad. ministration.” It appears th Mr. Coombs was an exeellent official, and the position he occupied is one in which next to probity of character the first re quisite is experience. ile had the con- fidence of the importing community. The inevitable conclusion therefore is that his removal was solely for politieal reasons— aresponse to the demand of Maryland democrats for the place. But while the mugwumps reprove the spoils demoerats rejoice, and these are the fellows whom the president evidently intends to gratify in the future.

A few days ago he called up a | bill in the house to provide for such elec tion, the magnitude of which may be in ferred from the fact that there are 50,000 postmasters of the fourth class and 1t} number is steadily growing. The pro- | position that Ahese postmasters shall keep an open registry for the resident patrons of their oflices, and that whenever W majority of these patrons desire a change they shall notify the postmaster general, who shall appoint & person not a resident patron of the postofiice, pre ferably a commissioner of the circuit | court, to call a meeting. At this meeting the candidates for the postoffice shall be batloted for m accordance with the re quirements of the laws governing elec tions, and the hame of the candidate having a majority of the votes shall forwarded to the postmaster general, who must appoint the person so elected In case he shall ¢ another person «hall be voted for. The idea is to divoree the fourth-class postoflices from politics and to work a reform in the public ser It is not apparent how these ob olit clin vice, | Jects would be accomplished by such an wrrangement, but on the contrary far as politics is coneerned, itis quite possible thut the evil sought to be removed might be increased.

A TELEGRAM which believed to em anate from the private sccretary of Sen ator Manderson says that the sction of the Omaba board of trade last summer has blocked the Manderson bill for the tion of Fort Omaha. The fact of tter 1s, and we now know what we about, that the bill, which is neral Bragg's pocket, never stood a ghost of a chance of receiving a favorable report from the house military commit- tee.
