WASHINGTON, April 14.-Ex-Representa
tive Hazelton, of Wisconsin, is persuaded
that nisfortunes never come singly. While
living on his back in consequence of an in
iured knee cap, his residence on Eleventh
street is invaded by marauders and several
articles of clothing abstracted. A pocket
book containing money and railroad pass
es was taken. The thief who had been
employed in Mr. Hazelton's family as q
servant, owned mp when cornered, and not
having any money with which to pay
fac, went to jail for sixty days.
THE NEW BROOM.
Judye Gresham is taking hold of the
postoGi;e department much after the
manner Of Judge Folger, as secretary of
the treasury. Although Me-. Gresham has
hardly got his seat warm he has
created an impression among the employees
that he means business. He Is
familiar himself with every detail of the
postal service, and evidently intends to
give as much of his personal supervision
as possible. The practice in all the other
epartments, excepting the treasury,of leav
ing routine business to subordinates will
be in measure ignored By Judge Gresham.
In so doing he will probably have the same
experience that Mr.. Folger has had in the
treasury, He will burden himself with an
amount of work that will certainly become
irksoma. He will not be able to dispose
of business as expeditously as he has be-
come accustomed to on the bench, and
like Mr.. Folger, Will work himself until
dose OF Washington malaria gets into his
system. He will create discomfort among
his sab ordinates, who would like to
be suprama i'll their various de-
pa tments, and who believe the post
m.ster general to be simply a member of
the presidents cabinet. This will be gall
and wormwood for Mr.. Hatton, who will be
re luced to his proper level as his assistant
only. Another result will be to make the
poste sice department like the treasury, a
hive of industry, where every employe
must do his full duty and earn the money
that is paid him.
ANEW PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
Jngress na1 Gueather thinks the time is
about ripe for the state of Wisconsin to
bring out one of her fevorite sons and
place him in the field for the Republican
nomination for the presidency. The part
which the Wisconsin delegates took in Sc
c1ring the nomination of Garfield may be
taken as evidence that the state can exert
a strong influence in favor Of good man
in 1884. In conversation Mr.
Guenther expressed himself as strongly
in favor of entering Gen. LuciU'
Fai-child for the Republican nomination
II do not mean that am in favor of Gen
Farchild simply because he is a Wiscon
sin man. If man can be found in Ohio
Illinois, Maine, Vermont or New York who
is as available in so many ways as Gen
Faircaild Is, I would support him as fully
as any man from Wisconsin. I do believe
however, that there is not another man IL
the United States who is as available as he
UAlike the great majority of public men
he has had larger and more extensive
public career, and has come out of it il
better shape than any man 1 know of
With him as our candidate we would no
be on the defensive. We could challeng,
comparison with any man the Democrat
have got, or, for that matter, the Rspubli
cans either. 1t would be impossi
bic to find in him a single ba'
point. He has never been mixed up il
any factional wars in the party, and woul
be acceptable to stalwarts and feather head
alike. He has never had anything to d.
with the Credit Mobilier, salary grab o
guano conspiracy, and his hands are fre
from any stain of corruption or oficis
malfeasance. His record in the war wa
simply superb, and that empty slum woul
talk more and talk louder than a dozel
stump orators. With him we could ge
enthusiasm, and with the soldiers he woul
be favorite that would eclipse Hancocl
Edmunds would not do. He is too frigit
and too intolerant of other peoples view
to be popular with the rank and file. Lo
gan would be better than EdmRnds, but b
has number of soft places in his politics
makeup. 1Fairchild, in my opinion
meets the emergency. He is unexceptior
able in every respect, and has hosts c
friends, but no enemies. His capabilitie
cannot be questioned. He has been secre
tary OF state OF Wisconsin, governor thre
terms, consul general to Liverpool, consu
to Paris and minister to Spain. predit
that ne will show great strength in th
national convention. A discussion OF hi
merits and prospects will strengthen hin
and he will gain by it every day. If nom
mated 1 believe beyond doubt that he wi
be elected.
