The Policy or PostoRico Appoint
mentS.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Hay has written letter to Hon. Charles
Hupsicker of Norristown, Pa, in which
he says: Very great responsibility has
been put upon the agents of tho people
here; and II seems to me that il is essen
tial to their ultimate approval, and to
the lasting welfare of the party Of which
we are members, that all administrative
action should be taken with the utmost
care, after due consideration, and with
the fullest attainaDle knowledge of all
facts which might properly influence it.
The agents of the administration in their
various positions are now to their work,
as are the members Of tho party through
out the country unused to the considers
ton or the exercising Of any function in
public affairs. Democrats for many years
have had no part whatever in tho pro-
curement or enjoyment of federal offices,
even of the most minor character. There
ought to be mutual consideration between
the great mass of the people and their
selected agents in Washington, and mu-
tual assistance should be readily rem
dered. There should be one spirit ami
mating all alike to DO consider
ate, to have reasonable confidence,
and to maintain with fidelity the
pledges made before tho election us to
what Democratic methods of government
would be. The "spoils SYSTEM" with all
its aggregated and vast power, was what
wo fought aud prevailed against. Gen.
orally, public policy and sound party
considerations require that reasons should
exist and DO assigned for removals from
public Offices. Throughout the United
States, under past administrations in the
vast majority of cases, federal appoint
ments have been made only as rewards
for extreme party services, and tho offices
have been grossly misused for the purpose
of retaining one political party in power,
and utterly excluding the other from any
share in conducting tho public affairs of
the United States. 1t is due to the peo-
pie of all parties-and it is due to the
Democratic party as the accuser of those
who have been heretofore in power-to
exhibit to the country tho misdoings of
the men who have long been solely in
trusted with public Offices. Therefore it
! is asked land the request is reasonable,
| by those who are now charged with the
duty of administration, that the official
misdoings of which we have complained
should be made known when removals
are to made, in order that tho truth and
the business of the accusations can be
fully shown"

Iron and Steel.

At this time there lisa difference Of
only s2.S7 between the British price Of
steel rails, $23.l2, and tho price at which
rails were sold in Philadelphia in April.
But the difference between tho British
and the Philadelphia price Of bar iron is
$l2.72 per ton. Hence it is that tho
competition Of tho rapidly advancing
steel manufacture here compels the man
uiacturers of iron to insist upon lower
rate OF wages. Last year this country
made 10000 tons more steel ingots, and
$4,000 tons more of steel rails thar
Great Britain, but 100000 tons less OF

Undoubtedly n Lie.

As indication of the political shrewd-
ness Of President Cleveland, the following
is illustrative. IL is said that some
Illinois Democrats, pending the senatorial
contest in that state, came to the Presi-
don't and used their utmost endeavors to
have him aid them by federal appoint
ments against tho Republicans. Tho
President, as is known, refused to do
anything. 1t has leaked out that his
opposition to interfering in tho senato-
rial contest arose from the fact that he
had made an arrangement whereby Hon.
John A. Logan would not oppose but
vote for tho confirmation of all his tho
Presidents) appointments--not n bad
move for right new President. 1t will
be seen that tho old boy throws out his
pickets. He prefers to have his pets con-
tirmed by Logan than either Morrison,
Tree, Harrison or Black Washington

The civil service reformers must be-
hilarious over the way in which "of-
fensive partisans" are being turned out to
give place to 'reformers." The latest
change in this state is in the office OF
United States marshal for tho northern
district. Gen. McDougall gives place to
Walter III. Bum, secretary of Dan"
Manning's state committee, and o very
active lieutenant of the boss" Asa
politician Mr.. Bum is entitled to consid-
Grafton from his party chieftain. Nothing
would be thought about it if it were not
for the canting Hypocrisy of the men who

some suggestive FIgnrc..


Tho amount of real property exempted
from taxation in this city is increasing
rapidly. A report from tho tax DEPART
ment issued yesterday shows that the as
sossed value Of such property Is now $780,
OOOOOO. similar report few years ago
placed tho amount at S205, 100000. These
statements, of course, include the prop
orty of tho city, which is valued at $17S,-
SOi,060. exclusive of its interest In tho
Brooklyn bridge. In ten years there has
been an increase of S1S,000,000 in tho as
sesscd value Of exempted church property,
while in that owned by schools, asylums,
Libraries, &c., the increase has been $l9-
100000. 1t is u good thing for the city to
promote intelligence, morality, charity,
and virtue by oxompting property from
taxation, but in doing SO caro- should be-
used TO 500 that no Injustice is done to
taxpayers. The matter is one that should
DO governed by general instead of special
laws.-NeW York Tribune.
