ing this decrese in the working
force, amounting altogether to 354

there have been one or two clerks,
both Democrats and Republicans,
dismissed because they relied too
much on their influence and not
enough on their record, but be-
yond this there have boon but a
few changes recently.

ton of the Republican party, when
the count Of money in the Treasu-
Try department showed no loss, has
not yet ceased to reyerherate in the
Hand, but that is not the way the
truly good officials Of the truly
good party have replenished their
lexchequers. Investigations now
lpending, and others that the count
Try will hear of soon, will convince
the most skeptical that an exami-
nation of tho books, aud an elimi-
nation Of the crooks, have come
mono too soon. The Republicans
are trying to take political comfort

discovery. The fact remains that
what ever Irregularities existed were
continued under republican rule
and that it remained for a Democrt
lie Administration to expose then
