both of them, have given valuable

of treading water Before the pres

Never was the practice of "whir-

cident. 1t was a gross nockery of

of the State of New York says that
no Federal official ehall sit In the
Legislature Of that State either as

! ct Of that provision in the organ

POSTMASTER GENERAL JAMES has
sent his resignation to the President,
notwithstanding the denials. He asks
that his resignation take effect the 1st
of January, and assigns important and
pressing private business as his reason
for resigning. James expected to stay
in the Cabinet throughout the present
year, but recently he received infOrma-
ton from the directors of the Lincoln
National Bank of New York, of which
James was elected President, that the
bank would open for business January
II, and required his services. James
went to New York to see the directors
and endeavor to arrange for them to dis
pense with his services until next July.
The directors refused to listen to the
proposal and insisted upon having his
services at the opening of the bank or
that he should resign the Presidency.
He then sent his resignation to. the
President and it will be accepted.
Whether his successor will be nominated
before the holiday recess of Congress is
not yet known. James's friends say the
President wanted him to remain in the
Cabinet until the end of the term.
