Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-''The present admins
tration seems to be making enemies ell Sides
and friends nowhere" said Democratic mem
Der Of Congress from New York to-day. "Here
are the New York Tines. the Evening Post and
the Sun pitching into the President on account
of his diplomatic appointments, while even the
World attacks the administration with open
batteries. These four papers supported Cleve
land from different motives, and may be sup
posed to influence public opinion. In Boston the
mugwump Herald and the weakened Adver-
tiser have no words but of abuse for the recently
selected internal revenue collectors. And even
che Post of this city, see. condemns the ap-
pointment Of Colonel Morgan, of South Carolina,
to be consul l-general at Melbourne. Australia.
Taking one consideration with another, as they
say in the Pirates of Penzance, the lot of the
present administration is not happy one."
what effect will these causes have upon the
election in New York this autumnl"
Cleveland, as you know, had but bare ma
jority in the State last November, and this
with the most bitter fight against the Republic
IN ticket that was ever made. The Democratic
party cannot afford to lose 500 votes, yet we are
going to do it, fear. Thus far the course of the
President has not been such as to establish har-
monious relations in the Democratic party.
Neither has he given any indication that he in
tends to help us out and with each day our
chances grow simmer. If Hill is nominated for
Governor, as now seems certain, and the Re-
publcans put up any decent kind of man, we
shall have the hardest fight we ever had, and the
chances fully five to two against us. In fact,
from the present outlook 1 think the Republic
ans have the State by good majority"

be strangely recorded that there are Democratic
congressman who claim to be satisfied with the
unequal division. 1t may pertinentiy be asked
if the Democrats of the land are capable of
managing its postal service. Evidently the
Postmaster general thinks not.
The administration of the State Department.
when seriously considered, is laughable. Its
Secretary has dragged out of political obscurity
scores of decayed hulks who are sent abroad,
doubtless to expose to foreign gaze crop of old
men. More than half thus honored are men
who do not believe in the common unity of their
own government. They are its citizens because
of the power of the government to prevent them
being its aliens They go abroad impregnated
with ideas which advancing progress has left to
them only as ruminations In no sense will
they represent the power and advancement of
nation not yet half developed.
In all the departments of the government the
power Of the active and leading politicians is
wholly ignored. The purpose seems to be stud
led how to thwart this class First, their desires
are asked and then they are treated to disap..
Representatives. has not been yet able to get for
a worthy candidate the Insignificant consulship
to Bordeaux And yet can tell a state secret,
that the present Republican incumbent was
told, few days ago, he would not be disturbed,
If there is ony settled policy of the administra-
ton, save procrastnation it is not visible to the
naked eye or comprehended by finite mind.
Democrats justly wonder what the President
means. If the "rascals are not to be turned
out the inference can only be that there are
none in, and that the cry raised by the Demo
Gratis of the land in this respect was false. If
the Democrats fought campaign involving such
heroic labors as did the last they feel that its
victory should extend further than the elevation
of one man to the Presidency and half dozen
others to Cabinet bilets. They fought, they
say for all of the estate, and if it is
denied them by the President they elected. they
can only be subject to the just condemnation of
having succeeded upon false pretenses. They
say they fought for principles, in which the man
was subordinated, and having succeeded in the
contest have the right to have them enforced by
Democratic administrators.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cleveland in his high estate,
seemingly ignores the claims of those who elect
ed him to Office, and seeks rather the approba-
tion of the effeminate coterie Of the Republican
party who could not vote for Mr.. Blaine. It
does seem as if the mugwumps had the whip
hand, and that the tail is wagging very slow

Efficient and Capable Officers Removed
Without Sufficient Cause.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. May 2-It is difficult to con-
lecture the re easens which induced the
President to designate q successor to
Col. A. d. Shaw, who has been the
American consul at Manchester, England, for
the past seven years. 1t was announced in the
early days of the present administration that re-
movals would be made only for cause in non
political Offices The President announced his
determination to make his appointments with a
view to greater efficiency in the public service,
and incidentally limited that an able and compe
tent public servant need not fear for his head.
After the close of the first session of the Forty
eighth Congress President Arthur appointed a
number of consuls and consular agents in South
America, Central America, and Europe. The
anti-Arthur press at once began an investigation
to see if capital against the administration could
not be made out of these consular
changes, but a close inquiry revealed the fact
that in every instance the changes made were
promotions The one exception was the appoint
ment of consul at San Jose, Costa Rica, where
a citizen of the United States had been appoint
ed in place Of native of Costa Rica, the Office
having become saaried by the act of Congress
then just approved Throughout his entire ad-
ministration it was the policy of Mr.. Arthur to
improve the consular service. He looked upon
consuls as the business men of the government,
and not as political attaches. In removing Col.
Shaw the President and Mr.. Bayard have decap-
itated one of the most efficient men in the con-
sular service. The business interests of the
country expected that if any men were
to be left at their posts tho consuls at Manches-
ter and Bradford, England; Crefeld, Germany,
and Hong Kong would be the last men displaced.
But Mr.. Bayard's policy is one of spoils. The
The three European consuls mentioned have
contributed more valuable industrial and eco
nomic information to the literature of the State
Department than any other men in the service,
while General Mosby, who was our consul at
Hong Kong until displaced last Friday has done
more for American shipping interests in the Chi
nese trade than any person who ever held the
post MOsby, too has secured better treatment
for Americans in China than they ever before
received, and should have been allowed to fill
out his term. Against the removal of Colonel
Shaw hundreds of protests have been received,
but it is no use; Bayard is running the consular
force in the interest of the Secretary of State,
who hopes to succeed Cleveland in 1889.

defed General Black, must 60. The ediet
has been written, and by the close of the current
fiscal year Miss Sweet will be succeeded by Mrs.
Mulligan. Commissioner Black is determined
to replace her, and in order that he may
do so Miss Sweet will be dismissed
or suspended, and that Black is able to do this
with the action of the President will perhaps
convince the holier-than- thou mugwumps that
the professions of civil-service reform on a
broad basis, uttered by Mr.. Cleveland whenever
the opportunity offers, are insinceres and hollow.
President Cleveland will remove all Republicans
as fast as he can select successors, no matter
how efficient they may be, and without reference
to their absolutely unassailable records
