TEE STATUS OF NE. MorLEY-The facts in

Court o. st. James are substantially as follows.
The letter Is not one OF peremptory recall, As
stated BE- numerous journals. nor il he ordered
20 return 90 the United States In derying
these acknowledgements THE STAR was therefore
strictly correct. Although Dir. Motley was pre-
cluded from asking TO be relieved bv having
refused 10 resign his position, he has neverthe-
less been very DESTROYS OF relieving the situ-
alton q the embarr assments surrounding il, and
this desire has been increased by the expiration
Of his London residence, which he could not

POSTMASTER GENERAL CRRsvELL.- The
views of Secretary Creswell upon the political
situation, as set forth recently in he STAR, at
tract much attention, and are accepted By all
the leading republican papers as eminently
sour d and judicious.
The New York Tribune says, editorially:
Postmaster General Cresw ell i ri rht In hold
ing our reduced majority in the next Hons no
cfanity. His other views Of the political situ-
ton, as reported by the Washington SrAR. are.
10 mos. regards, judicious. The administration,
conducted by such men, is not likely to fall into
ing Va PSS'
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times says, in the same connection:
Among the most persistent, yet unfounded,
rumors which have been Matched and set arO at
mere lately that which asserts the early retire.
ment OF Postmaster General Creswell from the
Cabinet. The truth is that of all the me mbers
OF that body Mr.. Creswell is probably tn least
likely to go. There Is no conceivable re ason
why be should He is popular with the Presi-
dent and popular with Congress. Being a good
politician, ard having the appointm mt of
twenty eight thousand postmasters, he could
not well be otherwise. His opposition TO the
Thanking privilege has not hurt him with Con-
gress, and has helped to make him popular with
the country. Then he IL slowly, but surely put
ting the service on self-sustaining basis and
that Is popular with everybody. Last. but not
least, he undoubtedly prefers to remain where
he Is TO going anywhere else, and that L. another
good reason why he will remain"

The question of filling Senator Yates place
is looming up in Illinois, and it seems the
democrats have some hope of so evenly
dividing the legislature as to make q trade
by which to secure the election of Samuel
8. Marshall, who has just been reelected
to Congress in the eleventh district, but
there is little prospect Of that result. The
most prominent republican candidates are Gov.
Palmer and Gen. John A. Logan. On a straight
party vote Logan's chances are the best, but 1t
seems the Palmer men mean to run him a. a
revenue reformer, hoping thereby to secure
enough democratic votes in the legislature to
elect him.

Mr. Jenckes' Civil Service bill was
met IN Congress by the Vefv Singular
and false objection that it was an aTisto-
cratic measure. Te show how absurd
this objection is we have only to state
that the system Of competitive examin-
ations for the civil service in ENGLAND is
objected to and resisted BY the British
aristocracy because of its plebian ten
dencles. 1t gives the plebian classes an
equal chance with the scions Of aristo-
cratic stock. Vet the system continues
to make way in England. Beginning
with the civil service of India, il has
steadily extended into almost every de
partment of British Government employ
ment. It has not yet invaded the dip
lomatic ranks. and some of the higher
positions of both the Home and Foreign
offices are still closed to the graduate
from the ranks Of the people. Bycable
telegram It is announced that the Home
Department is now prepared to adopt i
unreservedly. When efficiency has
gained almost its last victory over aris.
tocratic prescription IN England, il is al
most time that we began to remove oul
subordinate appointments beyond the
range of political influence, and to make
well-tried fitness the sole qualification fol
public employment.-Z6ked0 BZade.
