beeu a cmispicii'uis and humiliating failure the half , hearted manner in which the pivsi ; d'mit has been pursuing the important work of placing in the hands of trusted capable and efficient representatives j of the party through whose influence and almost superhuman exertion he i was placed at the head of affaire tho-e | various charges and duties for the sale conduct of which the democratic par ty i a to be held responsible to the people is little le-s than disgusting untrue to the confidence reposed in him and unworthy of the great com pliment bestowed on him by ins con

the democrats would not be luld repousible for this kind of a government and concluded with the remark that it is novv no longer a matter of distribution of offices and government patronage but a ques

his cabinet are cmscien liotislv striving with their whole heart to give the entire c niniry an efficient and a pure government the results of this effort will be very apparent in a short time that some mistakes have been made must perhaps be granted — the nomination of m<>r<;uii perhaps and the kciley coutrc temps — but what mortal man could have the immense machinery of thi gov ernment suddenly placed upon his shoulders and not committed a single error yes the administration is do ing well ; its caution is commendable and it will eventually receive the hearty and unhesitating endorsement even of those democrats who are now the worst disgruntled the presi dent has not recognized sectional dis tinctions except to obliterate them and in his treatment of the south lie has been just and generous and what senator vance thinks of course not said senator vance in his hearty and positive manner of course i do not share in any de gree the sentiments imputed to sena tor eusiis the

partisan ends his removal ii justi fied upon the strictest principles of civil service reform for 1 take it to be the very essence of that reform to dissociate completely federal office from

little girls bring their broken toys and the boys come for aid when the lessons are hard by and by a marvelous thing happens she is spoken of everywhere as the interesting miss parker or the agreeable miss donnell or the captivating miss mark she has grown interesting agreeable and captivating ; and each quality is far more valuable to a woman than the possession of mere beauty without other

the complaint which is still sometimes heard from office-seekers that the ad mnis ration goes too slow means evi dently only that it is not putting the gra nblers into office in point of fact the figures below show that the admiu istr ition has gone along in the matter of appointments at a surprisingly rapid rate t ie cabinet was confirmed on the 6th of march the administration has been in existence therefore about two months in that brief time there have been 1,043 appointments made — more than twenty-seven for every day includ ing sundays that certainly shows great industry and is an evidence of very hard work for mr cleveland insists that the men appointed shall be known to be capable and honest the following is the list by depart ments — state department — ministers 18 consuls 16 other places 0 total 49 treasury 418 post office 1,150 interior department — 15 department of justice — 20 the work of sifting out unfaithful incompetent and improper men and re placing them with better will of course grow easier as the heads of departments and bureaus have time to more thorough ly master the details of their work thus it is very probable that the num ber of changes will be greater in the next two months than in the last two but the president's determination is to improve the civil service not to make party plunder of the offices — herald washington letter ■ i m the
