The action OF the President in refusing
to su siam the Commissioner Of Pensions,
Gen. John q. i Ick, who requested ta-
resign ton Of Miss Ada G. zect Pen
sio7 Ageo' al Chicago, ought to give Re-
publican ocnce-h0lders considerable com
fort.
MISS Sss+ei mas held the office a loae
tiass, a1.5 Ger present term does not ex-
pire until next April. A. far a. known
she has discharged her duties faithfully
and in a manner enuFe3g ssNsfactars.
Indeed the Commissioner Of Pensions. in
mis- request for her resignation, took oc-
casion to say that there was no complaint
Of the way her ofice was conducted.
Under the circumstances IL is not easy
70 understand why her resignation was
demanded. II can hardly be true. a.
limited, that Gen Black intended % use
the Office to boost himself into the United
States Senate. In the West ne is spoken
Of as a man Of extraordinary ability and
excellent Judgment. He knew the posi-
tion Of the President with regard 10 civil
service reform, and therefore, had no
reason to expect that be would be shs-
tanned in enforcing his request If Misc
sweet should decline 10 accede TO IT..
What he did, therefore. cannot he reg rded
otherwise than as a mistake. because be
might have known that Miss sweet would
not give up her Office as long as there was
chance for her to retain il.
Gen. Back does not appear to have con-
suited either Secretary Lamar, who is his
chief, or the President. He acted, il seems,
wholly on his own responsibility. What
eve may be said about his purposes ia
seeking Miss Sweets removal. there ISN'T
much doubt that in this instance be
showed want Of good judgment. TIC
have his first really important act an
nulled is the reverse of complimentary 10
him.
1t is probable that Miss Sweet will con-
tinue to hold her Office for another year.
She IS a woman Of pluck and energy. ant
1t is reasonable to suppose that she never
took any part in politics, aud cannot
therefore, be charged with having usel
her Office for political purposes. Gen
Black will have to wait year before he
can put into the Chicago pension Office
the kind Of man he wants there, and il
is not certain that even then his prefer
ences in the matter will be taken int,
consideration. Long before that time
however, the Illinois Senatorship ques
ton will he settled. The President evi

The Prince of Wales in ireland.


The reception Of the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales at Dublin had a little more
warmth in it than they were led to expect
it would have from what they had seen in
the public prints.
The people appear to have treated the
Prince as guest rather than as the rep
resentative Of a government against
which Ireland has been struggling many
years.
The Irish people are generous. brave,
hospitable people, and they could not per.
haps restrain their natural inclinations.
Notwithstanding all they have suffered.
to treat the Prince with the courtesy and
consideration to which his rank entities
him.
After all, the Irish people have nothing
against the Prince. They do not hate
him. They hate the English people. and
it is against the English people that
they are warning. They respect the
Prince perhaps all the more for venturing
among them after being so often warned
that his life would not be safe on Irish
soil.
He will not be harmed. No Irishman
will raise his hand against him, and no
word will be spoken IN his hearing, per.
haps, that will cause him ANNOYANCE. Il
is not at all improbable that his visit will
be arather pleasant one, and that it viii be
marked with incidents that he VIII recall
in after years with pleasure. Although
his people are regarded by lrishmen as
the enemy Of Ireland, he will be accorded
the courtesy due a guest while be is on
Irish soil.

The Bsrs Female Foot ip Comedy.

From, the Ven York Sun, AprH7
Under the supervision Of c. ". Durant, Jr.,

finer, Miss Estele Clayton essayed IN the
Union square Theatre last evening the eX-
pertinent u introducing the bare female foot

The administration Indorsed.

AAAG oAAiDAl DGAAs
The spring elections in the West, with
the exception of the Chicago municipal
election, where the result was largely
influenced by localquestions, show Demo-
ocratic gains. In Michigan the Demo-
Gratis have gained a victory that is as
gratifying as it is decisive. Blaine car
ried She State in November by plurality
Of 8 30S.
The success IN Michigan and the Demo-
cratic gains in municipal elections in
other States cannot be interpreted other
wise than as meaning that the people are
satisfied with the course the administra-
ton is pursuing with regard to the Offices.
More than amonth has passed since the
change in the control Of the government.
and although that IS very small part Of
the term of an administration. it is long
enough to give a very fair idea Of what
may be expected Of it.
The country is apparently satisfied that
the Presidents purpose is to administer
his great office for the benefit Of the
people, and not in the interest of a party.
II nothing occurs to change this feeling
of confidence that the purposes Of the ad-
ministration will be patriotic and unset
fish, the case with which Democratic vic
tories will be won will increase.
The Republicans are preparing to carry
the State of New York next fail. Both
parties are getting ready for that contest.
If, however, the administration continues
to pursue the policy which it has marked
out, and which appears to have met with
such general acceptance, the election IN
New York will show a result in favor of
the Democrats something like that shown
in Michigan.
