The President has issued An order cutting
down the number Of collection districts
from 1876 to eighty-two. This pruning pro-
cess has been in contemplation for some
time, and political bosses, place holders and
Government employees in expectancy have
been besieging the President, crying to him
and threatening him. But he was obdurate.
Then he was reminded Of the great tnfiu-
ence Of collectors at election time, and
hints were siyly put forward about the util-
ity of these Offices in working up an Arthur
boom" This little artifice was ~ useless Is
tears and threats had been. The President
had decided upon forty four decapitations
and upon the humiliation of forty-four use
