Delncorat. Manning is going
ahead making removals right and
lefl, and not stopping to explain
why for the benefit of carping Re.
publicans. He believes that the
people will see the business of the
removals in the improvement of
the service. Now, Mr., Manning
has tho confidence of President
Cleveland, and he would not act
without the cordial support Of his
chief. This he has received from
the start. Yes, there are to be ma.

Manning informs the, is particular.

year, commencing on the 1st of Ju
ly, with good, faithful men in the
principal Offices, 1t is desired to
have men who are in sympathy
with the administrator, aud who
will use their best endeavois to

suppose the old Republican officials

In many cases these outside par.
tics are implicated in the frauds
and have time to cover up their
tracks or disappear from view.
Secretary Manning recognizes this
fact, and no is determined to place

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From On RegnInr corregpondent.

WASHINGTON, June is, 1885,
The new Cabinet officers aud the
Chiefs Of Bureau under Them are
very much embarrassed by their
inheritance ofasylum' for the aged,
blind and dppf. The Government
offices are these a.ylnms, and there
are in them hundreds Of superb
nuated men and women who d.
actually no work. They were not
remarkable for energy andetlicien
cy evenin their prime. Now they
are sans eyes, sans ears, sans every.
thing but pocket, They go to the
Departments day after day as has
been their custom for years. They
sit ut their desks aud do nothing,
but once a month, when pay duy
comes, they are each handed one
hundred dollars in crisp new notes.
| have in my mind an old man
both blind aud deaf, who is daily
brought to and taken hume from
the Patent Office by members Of
his family in order that he may
draw the pay that he is absolutely
incapable Of earning. Ifthese su
peranuatud people should b.
discharged, they would doubt.
less die from the shock, and more
or less suffering would be entitled
upon their dependent famiIies.-
But it is nevertheless u gross wrong
to the tax payer and subversion
Of the purposes of the Civil Service
to make the Government offices an
asylum for this class. The Govern.
ment pays thousands of dollars
yearly for rent of offices, and the
rooms of many Departments are
Overcrowded with desks. Itwould
be in the interests Of economy to
pay these old and helpless people
10 stay away from the Departments
so that competen! men might be
placed az the desks which they on.
ly cucumber,
There is another class that ought
to be discharged. The Depart.
ments were filled with pretty wo
men bya system tostered aud prac.
liced by the Republican party
There is not a Republican Senator
or ex-senator who has not lovely
proteges, and SOME Vi them have
dozens, in the Government Offices
here, They were not appointed
under civil service rules, but in di
rect contraventiOn'Uf civil service
principles-because they were
pretty and helpless, or because
they were sisters, cousins, aunts,
aud mothers in.law. To say that
they are not efficient is putting il
very mildly. Ten good clerks,
such US are found in the business
houses Of the city can do mOre and
better work than one hundred Of
these women, aud will be glad to
do it for less pay than the womeh
receive, The fact is that the civil
service has been most shamefully
run down ut the heels as well us ut
the head during the long ascen.
dcucy Of thu party Of molal ideas
sad. luose practices.
During the last three ana u half
months great progress has been
made in the neglected aud belalod
work Of many Government offices,
but the best results cannot be hoped
for until radical changes have been
made in both the men, w.ouon.aud
methods Of the worst demoralized
Civil Service under the sun.
Proof that a new era has opened
in National affairs is seen every
day here, The last Republican
Senate succeeded in passinga sub.
sidy bill Of 100000 in favor Of the
Paclic Mail Steamship Co. Mr..
