New YORK, Nov. 27.-Among people
well informed here the removals in Wash
ington city of people too partial to the
postofice ring are considered we'll done
except in the case of Marshal Henry, who
is believed to be victim of the despicable
decoy process and Office bursting ambition
of George Bliss, man whom this COM
munity regards with as little confidence as
i Steve French. His offense is similar to
f! that of the dismissed detective, Geo. 0.
Miller, who told the truth to the wrong
person about the employment of rascals
| by the department of justice to corrupt
| the star route jury. Marshal Henry, it is
claimed, should have filed his charges
against Mr.. Bliss with the attorney general
| instead of publishing them in an inter-
view. The recent letter of Ex-senator Dor
sey, charging Mr.. Bliss with perjury, is the
basest OF ingratitude on the part of Mr..
Dorsey in view of what is alleged Mr.. Bliss
did to make the jury forget that Mr.. Dor
sey was one Of the parties indicted in the
star route trial. It is fact that every
step the government has made in the di
rection Of Kidding the service of persons
false to the interests of the government
has developed deeper and more infamous
scandals. The action of the president to-
day, it is said, will not be an exception to
what has happened during the past two
weeks.
Before Rounds became public printer
Helms paper abused Public Printer De-
frees. When Rounds came into the Office
Helm was foreman in charge of the
Congressional Record and he has been even
more influential in this printing house, the
greatest in the world, than any other per-
son except the official head. His contin-
ued management OF the Brady paper while
employed by the government excited much
comment and, in response Ito some criti-
casm, Rounds defended Helm in pub
lished statement. Rounds declared that
Helm was an honorable gentleman whose
integrity had never been called in question
before. He continued as follows: If such
things are permitted, no mans reputation
will be safe from assault so long as these
, human ghouls live to disgrace society,"
, But now the president and the attorney
general have shown that their views of the
propriety of Helms employment in the
printing Office are in accord with those
which Mr.. Rounds condemned. Mr..
Rounds is not expected, however. to de-
nounce them as ghouls who disgrace socie-
ty. It is a bad day for the smart fellows
: in Washington who expected to steal the
, goXsrnment printing office.
The strenuous cry for the secretary of
the treasury to relieve the money market
by extraordinary measures, is one which
may be regarded with a good deal OF eau
2 tion, and which the secretary may ask to
: have reduced 10 articulate and ineligible
: speech before he complies with it, Fol
it is both absurd and dangerous te
create the impression that he can rush
to the rescue of the market at any
y moment without reference to them. Even
the rash spectators who scream fol
: So, 100000 or S4O,OO0,OOO only reinforce
the dreaded bears the moment that it is
known that only $1O,OOO,000 can be had.
The Nazarene, the leading part in the
passion play, which Nj. Salmi Morse is to
produce in hall he is building in Twenty
third street, will be taken by Rev. W. M
Wannemacher, a Baptist clergyman, from
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Wannemacher is known
in Pennsylvania as a Good Templar lee
turer, and before entering the ministry
had some experience in private theatricals
but never appeared upon the boards
of theater. When the passion
play was produced in San Francisco
he saw it several times, and to its influence
upCl him he attributes his conversion
Learning that it was to be done here he
wrote to Mr.. Morse rendering his services
l in any capacity, and arrangements have
been made not only to intrust the per-
Torrance Of the principal part to him, but
for him to deliver sermons, free to all,
from the passion stage on Sunday even
ings.
