Mr.. Starin does not relish the course Of Sec
retary Manning in destroying the value of his
contract for delivering passengers and baggage
at the Barge Office, and he threatens legal pro-
c.ed:ngs. A contest of that kind may afford
poor consolation to Mr.. Starin, but unquestion-
ably he is in the right 1t is doubtful if any
court would sustain the Secretary in nlllifying
the law which provided for the erection OF the

1t is encouraging to hear of an Exposition
with all the exhibits in place before the open
ing day. That distinction is claimed for the
Southern Exposition which will open to-day at
Louisville. At New-Orleans there was a
lamentable delay of two months before the
great fair was really in condition to be appre-
ciated. Louisville ought to profit from its
superior management. A considerable part OF
the collection al New Orleans has been removed
to Louisville, and the Exposition promises to
prove "A great success.

The Niagara Park awards, with the exception
of few thousand dollars, have all been paid by
Controller Chaplin; and it is safe to say that
the taxpayers o. the State will never feel the
outlay. 1t is money well laid out. 1t is pity
however, that the Legislature did not at the
same time appropriate q sufficient sum to carry
forward, in IN energetic manner, the work OF
preserving and restoring the Adirondack for
ests. The subject Is one which will have to be
brought to the attention OF the next Legislat-
ure. In the meantime, it would be well If some
power could be brought to bear on Governor
Hill to force him to perform his duty in filling
the vacancy in the Forestry Commission caused
by the ineligibility of Mr.. Dowd. His neglect

plishment of any practical results from the ap-
pointment Of the Adirondacks Commission.

A Point About Removals.

IL is not easy TO understand the plan on
which the President makes removals from
Office. In some localities he has made
changes in all the offices, and in others he
/ has made no removals.
A day or two ago, the Collector at
Corpus Christi, Tex, son of Laurence
/ Jerome, OF New York, and cousin Of
Lady Churchill. was removed, although
ne WAS confirmed since the inauguration
Of President Cleveland. He was a Re
publican, and WAS appointed by Mr..
Arthur, and that was the only charge
against him. l, WIS not charged that he
was an offensive partisan or that he did
not give satisfaction. What makes the
removal Of Mr.. jerome the more notice
able is that not one OF the principal Re-
publican officials of the State, who are all
located at Galveston, has been removed.
The truth is that Mr.. Jerome was re-
moved because Senator Coke wanted his
place for friend, and he staId at
Washington and urged his wish until he
succeeded in getting the President to act.
New Orleans presents another marked
instance where there was no particular
pressure brought to secure the removal Of
Republican officials, but where changes
have been made in all the principal
offices. Neither OF the leading journals
made war on the Republicans, and one of
them, 1t was thought, preferred the Re-
publcans to some of the Democrats who
were appointed. The changes were made
at the persistent request Of Senator Glib
son, who lives in Washington and who
perseVered until he got what he wanted.
Other similar instances might be men
toned where continued personal solicit
tatiOns secured what was desired, but
these two are sufficient to justify, to
great extent, the conclusion that in the
localities where no changes have been
made, either the congressman haven't
been persistent enough or haven't sutfi-
cient influence with the Executive to get
him TO act, or else the applicants for
the offices do not meet the Presidents APP
prOval. In most cases it is probable that
the latter reason is the one why no
changes have been made.
The Presi dent, it is claimed, is rather
hard to suit, and unless he can be i'm
pressed in favor of an applicant in the
beginning the chance of the applicants
success IS not worth considering.
