OSTMASTER
How Their Tenure of ORice Will be
Affected.


Referring to the Democratic outlook
for Federal berths in this city the Call
says:
Postmasters themselves are a~ppointees
OF the President, subject to confirmation
by the Senate, but the great army Of
subordinstes in this department all come
under the Civil Service rules, and cannot
be removed except for cause. In this city
the present Postmaster's commission ex-
pires in May, 1886.
1t is true that Postmaster Backus' term
does not expire until 1886, and it is equally
true that the appointment Of Postmasters
Is subject to the approval Of the Senate,
Postmastership of this city with a Demo-
crat he has merely to wait until Congress
adjourns after its next session and then
appoint q successor. This successor,
though subject to the confirmation Of the
Senate, wonld enter upon the duties of the
position at once, thus displacing the pres
ent official. Should the Senate refuse to
confirm this nomination, the President
would then make another nomination,
continuing in that line indefinitely, or
until the Senate was satisfied, but never
by any chance nominating Mr.. Backus.

sequence is the length Of a Postmaster's
term or its date Of expiration, and what is
true of the Postmsstership is equally true
Of the other positions within the Presi-
dents gift.-San Francisco Exchange.
Our contemporary, we suspect, goes a
good deal farther than Cleveland will.
The President elect has shown in every
instance his profound appreciation Of law
in the spirit as well as in the letter.
Hence there Is no reason to fear that he
will do anything to interfere with, but
every reason to expect that he will do all
in his power to promote, Civil Service re-
form. That he will resort to any indirec-
ton for partisan purposes is the last thing
to be apprehended. Either this or our
study Of the man has been entirely at
fault.

White Pine Refer, Nov. 16.
There has been some talk Of throwing
out Eberhardt precinct, because Of the
fact that Oliver Drake, one of the Inspec-
tors, is Postmaster. but now that the
votes have been counted by the Commits
sioners and Eberhardt is included in the
count, that grand scare is over, 80 far as
the count goes. 1t is also said that the
ballot box from Aurum was not sealed and
that it was sent by mail instead Of by
messenger. II there Is q contest on the
above grounds the only person effected by
it will be the candidate for District At
torney.
G.. b. Wsdleigh, better known as "Big
Yank," has made q novel bet with John
Dakin on the result OF the Presidential
election. In the event Cleveland is elected
be is to "sling hash" for Dakin for six
months. Dakin reserves the right TO buy
him off if he does not do his whole duty.

Exquisite COIOrfng.

The SENTrNEL's guild nunc went nosing
around the Richmond works yesterday,
and ran across something that he sup
poses many others have noticed. but
which this mention will bring to the at
tention of many others for the first time.
He observed the men separating with
chisel and sledge the bullion end OF the
molds fron the iron. On the plane OF
breakage the iron, while still hot, presents
every color with remarkable brilliancy,
and also the colors in many hues and tints
blended one with another in the most ex-
ouisite name and with charming effect.
This spectacle alone will repay any one
for a stroll to the south end OF town, TO
saw nothing Of the scene OF activity and
proftable work going on there.

Virginia Chronicle: How have the
people Of Nevada responded? BY defeat
ing Mr.. Cassidy for reelection, and send
ing in his place Mr.. woodburn-a gentle
man who, however admirable he may be
In social. private life, is decidedly the
most unfortunate selection that Nevada

only OF being In the minority; but Mr..
WOODBURY. will be disastrously handi-
capped by the record he made for himself
in connection with the Electoral Fraud Of
1876. When Mr.. Woodburn shall find the
chief industry Of his State attacked by the
men OF his own party, with what grace can
he appeal for aid TO the Democratic mem
bers? And II he should do 80. what
answer would he be likely to receive? 1t
would be quite natural II the Democrats
should turn a very cold shoulder upon Ne
ysdss Representative as well as upon her
silver interests. They might well reply:
1--WE stood by your State, sir. In the re-
moneiization Of silver; we stood by Cali
fornis and Oregon, too, when they came
here whining about Chinese immigration;
and what has been the result2 Your
three Pacific Coast States gave their cleo
toral votes to Mr.. Blaine-who was the
foe Of Nevsda's silver interests and to
Mr.. ~Logan-who was the foe of the Chi
nese Exclusion Act. Instead of showing
their gratitude to the party which fought
and won their fights for them in Con-
gress. they have done all in their power to
weaken US and strengthen u political
and their practical foes. Now you had
better look to the Republican party for
any future special favors you may re-
quire."
That, ii seems 10 us. would be about the
style OF response that the occasion calls
for. Still, the Democratic party Is a mag
unanimous party. and just o IL can

The Sioux Falls Leader makes good
point in the following:
Every Dakotaian who hopes to see
Dakota state some time in the future
should set his face against the proposed
scheme to saddle four territorial judges
on the tax payers of Dakota. We have
the wealth and population sufficient for
a state, and until Uncle Sam admits us
We want him to pay the bills The worse
our affairs get, and the more work the
federal officers have to do. the sooner our
people will get their rights. The Leader
sets its face against all such echemers
and distrusts all offers coming from such
sources, to burden our people for the
purpose of extending our vassalage.
We do not believe Dakota wants to
mix up its Judicial system in the man.
ner proposed. The appointment of four
judges by the president and the election
of four by the people will never result in
any of the good its projectors may hope
for. eIf congress passes the bill
for the election of four judges
it will by the act admit that Dakota ie
entitled to these additional judges and
needs them. So long as that body COM
pels Us to remain the wards Of the ma.
tion it should compel the nation to pay
the expenses for those necessaries which

Dakota can get along without these ad.
ditional judges as we'll as it can get along
without state government and it does
not care to be taxed any more without
the recompense of representation.
