No Rapid Changes to be Made .

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Secretary Lamar
received great number Of congratulatory
calls to-day. The commissioner general of
the land Office, the commissioner of Indian
affairs and the commissioner of pensions
had prepared their designations, but at the
secretary's request deferred presenting them
until Monday. One of Secretary Lamar's
first official acts was to reinstate Mr.. Hanna
as private secretary to the secretary of the
interior, which position he has held under
Secretaries Sehurz and Teller. From re-
marks that have been made by the new sec
retary it is evidently his intention to adopt
very conservative course in making changes
in the personnel OF the interior department,
and he is said to be thoroughly in sympathy
with President CleveIand's views upon civil
service principles.
Postmaster General Villas also received
number of callers. but left the department
early in the afternoon, thus preventing the

The Republican Chief Justice of the Dis

His Resignation from Arthur


Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-One Of the first
vacancies Mr.. Cleveland will be called upon
to fill will be the appointment of successor
to Chief Justice Carter Of the district su-
preme bench. 1t is matter of some sur
prise that Judge Carter, who is an intense
Republican, should have withheld his retire.
ment until after Cleveland's Inauguration,
thus making way for Democrat on the bench.
His action is reported as growing out of
piaue at President Arthur's refusal 10 permit
the Judge to name his own successor. This
so irritated him that he declined to retire un-
til after the close Of the Arthur administra-
ton. There is an interesting episode con-
nected with the district court over which
Judge Carter has so long presided. At the
commencement Of hostiiities in 1861 the
court was composed of Democrats, all Of
whom were strong rebel sympathiz-
ers. Shortly after President Lin
coins Inauguration Representative
Spinner of New York was nominated to the
Office of United States treasurer. Spinner
had made himself very obnoxious to the

fierce denunciation of the secession move
ment. When he came to take the oath Of
office the chief justice of the court refused
fatty to administer it. Spinner stormed and
swore, but the fre-eating old South Caroli-
nian was infexible. ''There is no law
in the land" said he, ''that can
compel me to do it, ''very good,' ex-
claimed Spinner. 'sBut there is a power
here at Washington that can abolish your
court, and I'll see that It does it.n Within
fortnight Spinner had prepared bill and
rushed it through both houses of congress
declaring that the supreme court of the dis
trict Of Columbia was rebel
sympathizing body, which ought to
no longer exist. Congress Immediately
followed this with the passage Of another bill
re-establisbing the court. David Carter Of
Ohio, who had been instrumental in securing
Mr.. Lincoln's nomination at Chicago, was ap-
pointed chief justice Of the newly organized
court, where he has remained ever since.

Minister.
Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, March 7.-Rumor has it that
Hewitt, Dorsheimer and other Democrats of
that ilk in New York, are much displeased
with Manning's appointment as secretary Of
the treasury. Mr.. Hewitt took occasion to
vent his spleen in an unexpected way. at
the White house on Friday with a number of
gentlemen in conversation with the
president, the subject of embarrass-
ments Of the inaugural occasion came
up when Mr.. Hewitt said that it was much
more trying ordeal to the man going out than
the one going in. 1t had required much more
poise and equanimity from Mr.. Arthur than
from Mr.. Cleveland he thought He went on
in praise of Mr.. Arthur's bearing and the
difficulty his task at some length
and then turning to Mr.. Cleve-
land said: ssYou have seen what you
Will have to go through with four years
hence, and might aswell begin to prepare for
it now." The gentlemen present were hor-
rihed at Hewitt's bluntness and tried to pre-
vent the story from getting out, but it was
repeated by one of Hewitt's intimate friends.
While Manning's appointment is criticized
among antagonistic politicians, the mug
wumps are chary of expressing an opinion.
George William Curtis is reported as saying
to friend: tsIt is well to wait and see: I
have not liked Mr.. Manning's political
methods. did not like Arthurs political
methods some years ago. But Mr.. Arthur
has done better than other men who made
greater pretensions. 1t may be so with Mr..
Manning" John A. Stewart, president of
the United States Trust company, one of the
most active Republicans of New York, said:
'Mr. Manning is man of great administra-
tive ability. He is more than practical
politician, having proved himself as presi-
dent of the commercial bank of Albany an
able financier. He is man of integrity.
People who expect to find him mere
political secretary will be disappointed and
in financial circles his appointment will be
recognized with general satisfaction inside of
three months.'
Mr.. Stewart spoke in equally high praise of
William G. Whitney and the cabinet as on
the whole good one, which the country can
afford to give fair trial.

former mayor Of New York, who alluded to
the blue-coated guardians of that city as the
finest in the world, the police departments Of
other cities have tried to maintain or reach
the standard Of required excellence.
That the police force of st. Paul win not be
called upon TO take back seat on the scroll
of efficiency or excellence is best manifested
by the uniform peace and good order main
tanned in this city, and it has been justly re-
marked that in point of size and population
the city of st. Paul in the matter of observ-
ing the laws and maintaining the peace is
justly entitled to place in the front row.
comparison with the criminal records Of
other cities aill show that the police depart
ment Of st. Paul is called upon to suppress
or deal with less offenders than the depart
ments Of any other city of equal size in the
country, and the singular fact viii also be
shown that with very few exceptions the
offenses dealt with are all petty.
The law-abiding and order-loving resi-
dents OF this goodly city nave especial rea-
sons for congratulating themselves in the
possession Of public department so thor
oughly efficient and capable. With a force
Of about eighty men, inclusive of the chief,
captain, detectives and roundsmen, the city

his unswerying integrity and strict attention
to business. He has served the city faith
fully and well for many years.
OF the detective force the city is to be con-
graduated on having man like Detective
John O'Connor. He is quiet, unobtrusive
and pleasant and, to use hcmeIy phrase, it
is very cloudy day when he gets left He
has both training and instinct for his busi-
ness, and to this rare combination ne adds
secretiveness. He is yet young man, but
has already distinguished himself on several
occasions.
There are other s'fy bobs'' of note, and
extended mention might be made of Detec-
tive Dan O'Connor, or Big Dan as he is
called. and Messrs. Tom Kenally,
Ahern, Jimmy Nugent and all of
whom are on the still hunt for evil
doefs. The rank and file of the force have
many tried and good men. There are Phil
Gibbons, Gus Baer, "noc'' Casey and Chip
Johnson, who run the patrol wagon, Rounds
men Billy Hauft, Lowell, DAILY and score of
others, who could be mentioned favorably
did time and space permit.

through the various gradations OF patrolman,
sergeant, captain, up to the top of the ladder,
where he has been about two years. He is
both admired and respected by his men.
In point Of length of service Capt. John
Bresette is probably entitled to take the honors,
having served the city continuously for
almost quarter of century. The captain
first became identified with the force in 1859,
and like Chief Clark has worked his way
from the ground up. a Frenchman by birth,
he possesses the mercurial characteristics of
his nationality. Of portly mien, clean-shaven
face, shrewd, gray eyes and affable disposi-
ton, his figure is probably as well
known as that of any public man
in st. Paul, and he is especially known
and dreaded among the class of law-breakers
and evil-doers with whom his calling brings
him in contact, and the devious ways of
whom he has made lifelong study. For
nearly two decades Capt. Bresette was the
only detective employed In St. Paul, and
during this extended period he distinguished
himself by tracking down and bringing to
justice many scores of offenders. He took
an active part in the raid against the North
field offenders, and upon the accession of
Mayor O'Brien he was promoted to a cap
taincy, position ne now holds with credit
to himself and the force and the city.
Among the veteran and capable officials Of
the force none are entitled to a greater need
OF praise than Sergt. Thomas Walsh. Like
his superior officers, he walked the beat through
a long period of probation, serving with such

guilty to the charge of manslaughter and was

prisonment in the penitentiary. On March
2, 1884, McCroskey shot and killed his
