Political Influence Failure Under the
Present Administration.
Washington. Aug. 25.-There is the
usual furry over the change in the man.
agement OF the soldiers home. No Of
fcer, so far as known, of either army or
navy. WAS ever yet ordered from the east
to the west that he did not at once ap.
ply all the influence he could bring to
bear to the head of the department to
have the order revoked. The constant
intriguing which INVOLVES the aristocracy
OF the capital in continual scramble for
what is known as the "soft places" for their
relatives and friends, is very discredita-
BILE, and has been 20 frequently the SUBJ
ject of comment as to be we'll understood.
The officers of the army and navy are 80
intermarried with the families of leading
political influence in the country that it
is next to impossible for the secretary of
either department to administer the
affairs for the conduct of which the law
holds him responsible. He is hampered
and embarrassed from the day he
enters Office until he retires with
q constant pressure from out
side influence, which has two great OBJ.
jects in view. The men who are in the
"soft places" make desperate struggle
against being moved, and the men who
are situated where there is duty to per-
form are laboring just as strenuously to
secure more favorable positions. OFF,
GERS of the department west of the Mis-
sissippi send one constant stream of con.
gressmen, relatives and friends beseech.

dent for the same assignment of duty al
Governors Island or Washington. In
fantry officers want to be transferred tc
the artillery, officers of the line want to
be made paymasters or quartermasters al
once-anything in fact that will bring
them east, especially to the capital. On
the other hand, when q man is located in
one of the favorite positions, it has
become next to impossible to order HIM
to any other duty and insure his going
Officers think nothing of proclaimine
imperially when they are ordered west
that they do not intend to go; that they
have influence more powerful than the

to have the order revoked, To the dis
satisfaction of this class of official place

has demonstrated a capacity to run his
department and secure obedience to or
ders in spite of the political influence

Therefore, it is safe to predict that, not
