THE PUBLIC OFFICES.

An intimate friend of the President has
recently said that it is mistake to suppose
that Mr.. Cleveland was overpoWered by the
weight of accumulated business and undis-
posed of appointments, and unable to see
his way out of the increasing confusion.
s'The President" he added, sis methodical
and systematic in everything he attempts.
He has laid down programme carefully
and minutely, and will carry it out to the
letter. He is not in the least abashed by
the magnitude of the work before him. He
has calculated his work to nicely, and
will not deviate from his programme.
"In general way his plan is this: First
he will dispose of the foreign appointments
and get them all out of the way in the next
week or ten days, then the District and Ter.
ritorial appointments will be cleared up and
then he will attack the postoficeS. Mr..
Cleveland believes that he will have got
through this entire business by June first,
and be ready to dispose of cases as they
arise.
'.lf he accomplishes this, those who have
complained of his being slow will have to
admit that few of his predecessors have ac-
complished so much, in so business-!lke a
manner, in SO short time. He will only
deviate from the programme which have
outlined when he finds his Cabinet deter
mined upon an appointment out OF its turn,
on which there is no danger of making. a
mistake by acting at once. It will make
the ofice-seeker's head swim to see how
completely the President has made up his
mind.
"When he is ready to dispose of a certain
class of appointments he will strike out
from the shoulder as though he never had
any doubt upon what changes were to be
made and who was to be selected, but had
only been waiting until he thought it time
to act."- Washington Critic.

THE MANITOBA WAR.

A dispatch dated, Battlefield, fifteen

was received at Winnipeg, last Saturday
The grenadiers arrived in good form and at
once opened fire upon the ravines. There
were three ravines in string heavily

It was evident that if the rebels had been

have gone hard with u.s." Here the dis
patch breaks off and the operator at Clarke's
Crossing says heavy storm prevails De-
tween there and the battlefield and the
wires have failed. The rebel half-breeds
and Indians engaged were estimated at 300
The engagement lasted all day and when
night came, Gen. Middleton camped to
wait until morning. The Canadian loss
is put at 10 killed and 80 wounded.
A subsequent dispatch says that Lieuten.
ant Swimford, of the Ninetieth, and D'Ar.
cy Baker, of Boulton's scouts, who were Sc
riously wounded in the engagement have
committed suicide. Several more OF the
Canadian or loyal forces are seriously
wounded, and in dying condition. Blame
is imputed to Middleton by many fol
the inehiciency of the medical staff and ap.
pIiances, there having been only two doc
tors on hand and no splints. Many limbs
will have to be amputated in consequence
of this neglect.
