CORPUS CASE
The court-martial appointed to try ex-Sur-
geon General Wales for neglect of duty, which
was postponed to give the accused ample time
for preparation, will reconvene at the Navy de-
partment tomorrow. Naval officers say that
the trial will be held without regard to the
decision Of the District judges upon the writ for
habeas corpus sworn out by DIR. Wales. A re-
1usal on the part of the accused, the officers
say, will be considered a contempt, aud will be
treated accordingly.

CAUSES OF DELAY IN MAKING APPOINT
MENTS.
aAs rule the complaints within the demo-
cratic party against the administration because
appointments are not made more rapidly, pro-
ceed from those who are either pressing for
places, Or have been disappointed in seeking
ONCE The recognized leaders of the party are
not complaining. Democratic Senators, who
are still In Washington, generally express salts
faction with the policy of the administration.
Ihey recognize the fact that the Presidents s
Ghlef duty Is not to put democrats in Office.
PROMINENT democrats, like Senators COckrell,
Ransom, Colquitt, and Representatives Hewitt
anu ex-Hepresentative Stevens, of New York,
nave no complaints to make. On the contrary,
they approve the cautious course of the PreSi-
dent, and applaud his determination to select
only good men for office. In very many cases
themselves and their hackers have been respon-
s1be for delay. 1t is new thing with demo-
Gratis 10 be In a position to ask for office, and
even many of the Congressman are ignorant of
the proper details of the business. Hundreds of
applications have been filed in the most bung-
ling manner. In some instances the papers
nave not afforded information which was abSo-
iutely necessary TO insure intelligent action.
several days ago a democratic Senator put in
applications for several of his constituents who
wanted office. The head of the department,
after looking them over, remarked: "If all of
our democratic friends would have their papers
In such good shape as this they would save us
ana themselves good deal of trouble" Then
the department chief went on to explain how
much trouble had been caused by the irregular
way which many have of acquainting the ad-
mtnistratiOn with their wishes. 1t is the inten.
tiOn OF all the members of the administration
10 make sure of their ground before making
changes. No new appointments of pOstmasters
Will be made until all the existing vacancies are
filled. The Postmaster General is laboring with

CHANGE PROBABLE-RETIRED OFFICERS WHO

1t is generally understood that there will soon
be change in the office of superinten dent of
Soldiers Home. There is an unwritten mill
tary law that an officers term of service is four
years, and Gen. Sturgis will have completed
thatterm as superintendent Of the Soldiers
Home on the 25th inst. AS the law now re-
quires that hereafter that Office shall be filled
by retired officer, officers on the retired list
who are desirious of the duty are marshaling
their forces of friends to secure the appointment
from the President. About dozen applica-

MR.. CLEVELAND,s ECONOMY

decent respect for the administration,
which every patriotic citizen must feel until
the unwelcome truth proves it is not worthy
of respect, compels suspension of opinion
until the President shall have made exhibit of
his intentions. By the same reason it may
be argued that judgment of a favorable char
acter should likewise be held in allegiance un-
til something decisive is done by which the
man may be measured and his policy deter
mined. The friends of Mr.. Cleveland, or
those, at least, who are not office-seekers
are loud IN their praises of his evident
intention to reduce public expenses by dis
charging superfuous attaches in the depart
ments and compelling those remaining to do
more work and to come nearer earning their
generally generous salaries. If he succeed in
this, so that the end of his term will find fewer
men on the payroll and all the work done in
a business-like and orderly manner he will be
worthy Of great praise. But to turn out
clerks is only half reform, or no reform at
all, according to the way the contemplated
change is kept up. A very un-Democratic
civil-service law prevents the discharge of
certain men, except for cause. Those already
discharged have doubtless been efficient and
honorable public servants, at least nothing to
the contrary has been alleged. The only way
to get rid of them was in the very manner
pursued by Mr.. Cleveland and this he has
done almost before he has familiarized himself
with the demands that must be made for GER
tain kinds of clerical help. 1t were all easy
thing however, to appoint new men
as needed. Does anybody doubt the kind
of men that will be selected to fill such
vacancies? 1t were we'll, then, to delay the
applause until it shall become apparent that
this economic" move is not another way of
eventually providing for the very hungry and
very thirsty horde investing the capital.
Three months or six months from the day Re-
publican clerks are made to walk out of their
Offices it may be, and in all probability will be,
found necessary to have as many fill their
places. Meanwhile, great is Cleveland, and
Inugwumr is his prophet.

A BOSTON woman who had attained some
unpleasant notoriety on account of curio us
financial transactions at home, stopped at a
New York hotel last week and was placed I'M
der arrest by the proprietor. after a day or
two on the charge of intending to beat her
board bill. No proof was given that she con-
templated anything of the kind, but she was
held by magistrate under 500 bail, and is
now in prison. The arrest gave the de-
tectives the privilege of inspecting her be-
longings at their leisure, and their curl
osity was rewarded by the discovery of
numerous love letters of very saccha-
rine and compromising sort from an Epis-
copal clergyman. AS the woman is a
widow, and the clergyman unmarried and
the letters have no bearing whatever upon tho
case in hand, there seems to be no good reason
for publishing them to the world, but they
are served up in the columns of the New York
papers, to the great delectation of their read
ers, it is to be supposed. And yet they talk
sneeringly of the Sensational papers of the
West"

PROFESSOR WIGGINs seems to be nursing
that storm to keep it warm. In recent con-
versation be said that the storm predicted by
him as to take place tomorrow, the 18th
which prediction he made in April 1888
would be very heavy, especially on the
meridian of London, where it will appear
thirtysix hours earlier than in America. 1t
will be accompanied by earthquakes and
tides will be unusually high. The storm will
continue in different localities for week, and
will stretch from the arctic circle to the par
allel of Sandy Hook AS if this were not
enough, the self confident old terrorizer goes
on to say that this storm will be nearly equal
in strength to those that will occur on Sept
90, 1886, March 26, 1887, and Sept 10, 1887,
known as the Saxeby storm Of October, 1869.
This way of comparing things with unknown
quantities is original and convenient. Bust
ness generally will 60 on at the same old stand
day after morrow.
