Mr.. Aquilla Jones, postmaster at Indiapo-
lis by the solicitation of the Vice President
is one of the ''as good or better men, whom
alone the President appoints to succeed the
ineumbents he found in office. At last ac-
counts Mr.. Jones had nearly succeeded in
sweeping his office clean of all the employees
he found there when he took possession.
The assistant postmaster has been kicked
out to make place for broken down DEM
ocratic politician; the cashier has been re-
placed by Jones's own son; the stamp clerk
has been succeeded by Democratic clergy
man; the chief of the registry department
has had to go because Mr. Jones's nephew,
aged %, didn't like his job in drug store ;
the chief of the repair department has been
replaced by a man who acquired his qualifi-
cations by inspecting pork; the janitor has
had to go to make place for another of
Jones's sons; and four poor women who re-
paired the mail sacks have been summarily
dismissed to make room for four Democrats
of the right gender to vote. Among the dis
charged employees were one ex-General of the
Union army, one Union soldier, one soldiers
widow, and one lady who was the niece of
Gen Burnside As the Democracy gaze upon
the work Of Aquilla Jones they heaye a long
sigh because he is not President.

The Boston Record intinates that DR.. De
la dTanja, the Boston physician who has
been investigating DR.. Ferran's cholera inoc-

Foster forwarded his recent report to the

quack as he represents Ferran TO be. But
perhaps quack can catch quaek quicker

The story which comes from Moscow that
the Cars ambition is at last satisfied. and
that he does not want to spread himself over
any more of the globe, is not very probable
in itself and certainly the condition of the
negotiations in regard to Zulfkar pass has
no tendency to make it more so. If Russia
had got all she wanted the negotiations in
regard to that stronghold might be conclud-
ed In five minutes. Instead of that they are
progressing at snaiPs pace, and it is very
difficult to observe any progress whatever.
1t Is much more likely that the Moscow story
is put out to quiet Afghan apprehension and
thus render his aggressions in Asia easier.
than that it is truthful statement of the
actual wishes of the Car.

Secretary Whitney, according to the latest
reports, is going to try and make some ami
cable arrangement with Mr. Roachs bonds
men under which work on the steel cruisers
may proceed. Undoubtedly he will find
the gentlemen very Independent body
of men. Mr.. Garland has relieved them
from all responsibility by his opinion that no
contracts exist between the government and
Mr.. Roach, and they are not likely to reas-
sumo their obligations, knowing as wsl as
they do now the hostility of the navy
department toward their principal and its
anxiety to reject his ships. Mr.. Whitney will
probably discover during the progress of ne
gotiations that the administration has been
putting its foot in it.

Lee will probably be nominated for govern

racy and there appears to be no organized
opposition to him, though his candidacy is
not looked upon with favor by some of the
most prominent Democrats of the State not
ably John S. Barbour, Chairman of the State
committee, who lives at Alexandria, the
place OF Gen. Lees residence, who fears
that Lees election will destroy his chance
for obtaining the United States senatorship
which he eoyets. The stand of the conven-
ton on the debt question is" likely to be rath-
er worse than that of the Republican CON

beyond this single fact.

Mr.. Richard Smith, Of the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette, says the Prohibitionists of
Ohio will make the poorest showing at the
coming election that they ever did. The Re-
publicans, he says, are united and enthu sias-
tic, more so than for several years, and will
make avigorous campaign. AS to the Demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Smith says:
There is, to begin with vast dissatisfaction
among the working Democrats with President
Clevelands policy. They are naturally disgrun-
tied because he does not deal out the Offices.
They are in general disgust with the Democratic
legislature. 1t has increased the taxes and there
by caused much condemnation. There is feel
ing throughout the city of Cincinnati and Hamil-
ton county that there should be a change The
city is now of all cities in a deplorabe condition
The system Of municipal government there is all
wrong. There has been too much patchwork
legislation When an evil became glazing the
legislature was called upon to patch up the sys-
TEN with some new law. The consequence has
been that sooner or later the patch gave way and
the break was worse than ever"
