Republican morning paper announces
that the official head Of a Republican
worker has fallen into the place OF
wailing and gnashing of teeth, but as
yet this good work has hardly begun
There will be more of it anon and il
the Republican paper is going to howl
about such little thing as choppinp
off official heads, it will have to issue a
double sheet and an extra edition.
Some Democrats are impatient at the
delay in discharging class OF Republi'
cans who are VIGOROUSLY unfit for their
places; but these should reflect that il
requires time to select proper substi-
tutes, and consider the tremendous
difficulties that confront the Admins
tration. There are knotty legal ques-
tions to be considered in the matter
and the manner of removals. 1t would
be Just as reasonable to substitute a
full force of new employees in watch
factory at a single stroke as to contend
that the President should at once turn
the Republicans out and replace them
by Democrats.
The COMMITTEE on economy" which
is inquiring into the methods of busi.
ness in the Treasury Department will
be engaged for some weeks, perhaps
months, before they are ready to re-
port. "Thus far we have simply
scratched around in few of the bu-
reaus," said one of the committee to-
day." and as it is our intention to go
right into everything, we cannot rush
things through in a hurry"
With the entrance of new Admin
istration there was naturally considera-
BILE interest felt in society circles as to
the ladies of the Cabinet and their
characteristics. From all accounts the
impressions formed by contact with
Miss Cleveland and the ladies who will,
for the next four years, be prominent
factors in the social world, are of the
most fattering description. Some of
ladies of society here paid particular
attention to noting the effects of the
new element and their verdict was that
society was in safe hands and no disa-
greeable frictions would occur.

Neao York Letter to Bdltim ore
american.
The New York newspapers have set
on General Grant what they term the
death watch. He may die at any NOM
ent and may be alive three months
hence. But whenever he does die the
newspapers must instantly have the
news; hence some one must watch the
house for the newspapers all the time.
The chief papers have hired conven-
lent room close to the Grant residence,
and there all day aud all night sit a
group of reporters waiting for General
Grant to die. They have books and Il
card-table and the daily newspapers.
and whatever occurs to them may be of
aid to pass away the wearisome hours.
They are we'll paid for their trouble,
and among them are some of the most
trustworthy newspaper men in the city.
1t is very responsible work, and men
who are of irregular habits are not sell
ected for it.
At stated hours in the day and night
the Grant mansion is visited and Col
onel Fred Grant tells the reporters
how the General has just passed the
preceding hours. Twice day and
Just before midnight the physicians are
seen, and they tell the reporters the con-
dition of their distinguished patient
The work speedily becomes reduced to
system, and the plan renders both the
family and the physicians much more
freedom than when the bell was rung
twenty-five times a day by the repre-
sentatives of the press in pursuit of
information. The newspapers head
quarters in Grants case has become
noted already, and is bound to become
more so as the time runs on.
Probably it may not be kept open so
long as was the room in which the re-
porters waited SO long for the death of
Commodore Vanderbilt There the
death watch was kept up for just seven
months, and jolly time, indeed the
boys had. The room became club
room, known to half the newspaper
men in town, and they dropped in and
out, and played cards and had good
time generally. Charles O'Connor, too,
gave the press of New York much
trouble and expense, and ended it b.
getting we'll instead of dying. When,
years afterward, he did die, at Nam
tucket, he got very brief notice. An
other notable newspaper wait was in
the long absence of the jury in the
Beecher Tilton suit. There, too,a room
was hired, and the newspaper men used
it while waiting for the verdict that
never came. The chief newspapers
have obituary notices of General Grant,
descriptive of his last days, headings
aud everything save the bare announ-
cement of death all set in type and
made up, ready to rush out an extra
with all possible haste after the IA
| tai moment is announced.
