any regulations Of civil service reform;
while President Cleveland is endeavor-
ing to. put out republicans as fast as his
friends Hendricks and Voorhees, could
have done it and at the same time he
Is endeavoring to make the friends of
civil service reform believe that he in
tends to follow the true spirit as well
as the letter of civil service reform.
Another reason why it shows tact for
the president to make pretense that all
he intends to do in appointments shall
be done under the rules of civil
service reform is because the senate
has small majority republican and to
work these things through he seeks to
create the impression that he is opposed
to removing present incumb bents, but
republican members of the senate are
opening their eyes to his doings as
they plainly observe from the acts
and appointments made by the presi-
dent that his pretentions to civil ser
vice reform was hollow sounding bun
comb, to divert the public attention
from the real points which he intended
to accomplish. There is no doubt that
the president is using his appointive
power as rapidly as Hendricks could
do if he Was in the place and that this
is so is proven by the fact that Hen
bricks and Voorhees, are now satisfac-
torily quiet over the operations of the
president after they came to fully see

The city elections for years past
have been run by parties seeking office.
In many instances we have good Of
fcers, sometimes, however, city gov
ernment has net been managed as care
fully and economically as it should
have been. The best way it seems
would be for the different political par
ties each to nominate ticket for city
officials, when they are elected and do
their official work if it is not done
correctly and for the best interest Of
the people, the people have the politi-
cal organization which elected to hold
responsible for not electing more etti-
cient officers. When elections are
made as heretofore where every one
nominates themselves there is no Or
ganization which can be looked to or
held responsible for the failure to serve
the public properly:

would bring disaster upon the prisoners al d
result in no good. All projects of that sort
were abandoned, except that at Camp Doug
las, where Captain Hines still believed he
could effect their release. We yielded to
plans were plausible; but treachery defeat
| ed him before his well laid schemes were
developed. Having nothing else on hand,
Colonel Martin expressed wish to organize
a corps to burn New York City. He was
allowed to do so, and most daring attempt
has been made to fire that city, but their
reliance on the Greek fire proved misfor-
tune. 1t cannot be depended on as an
agent in such work. have no faith what
ever in it, and no attempt shall hereafter he
made under my general directions with such
material.
"During my stay in Canada a great
amount of property has been destroyed by
burning. The Information brought to me
as to the perpetrators is so conflicting and
CONTRADICTORY that I am satisfied that moth
ing can be certainly known. Should claims
be presented at the war office for payne
of this kind of work. not a dollar should be
advanced on any proof aAduced until all the
parties concerned may have an opportunity
for making out and presenting proof. Sew
eral parties claim to have done the work at
st. Louis, New Orleans, Louisville, Brook
lyn, Philadelphia and Cairo.
For the future, discarding all de-
ps ndence on the organization in the north
ern states, our efforts in my Judgment,
should be directed to inducing those who
are conscripted in the north, and who utter
ly refuse to join the army to fight against
the confederate states, to make their way
south to join our service. 1t is believed by
many that at least number sufficient to
make up a division may be secured in this
way for our service before spring, especially
II our army opens up road to the Ohio.
Some are now their way to Corirth,
which at present is the point of rendezvous
Also to operate on their railroads and force
the enemy to keep up a guard on all their
roads, which will require large standing
army at home, and to burn whenever it is
practicable, and thus make the men of
property feel their insecurity and tire them
out with the war. The attempt on New
York has produced great panic, which
will not suhside at their bidding

1t has been suggested by some pa
pers that the reappointment of Henry
G. Pearson, republican, by President
Cleveland as postmaster Of New York
City is something of compromise OF
concession to meet the views of the
mugwump republicans and that his
future course in the distribution oI
such favors would be different. That
his future appointments will be differ
ent in great measure there is NO
doubt, but that he appointed Pearson
to please mugwumps or anybody else,
Or upon any other consideration than
to reward Pearson for the valuable
services he rendered in the election of
Cleveland is what will take better
proof than will be forthcoming to con
vince anyone who has watched the tide
of events. It will be remembered that
upon election day in New York City
Mr. Pearson kept the employees SO
busily engaged and gave them no in
termission or recess on THAT day SO that
several hundred republican employees
in the New York postofice On that
day lost their vote they being pre-
vented from voting by the act of Pear
son. In every other postofice in the
United States all the employees have
always been given the privilege OF
voting and time in which to cast their
ballot. 1t was suspicioned by the
authorities at Washington that Pear
son would act in the manner in which
he did as confederate of Cleveland in
the disfranchising the employees in the
Office and the proper head of the post
office department at Washington tele
graphed Pearson to give time so that
his employees might vote, but Pearson
paid no attention to it and in that way
and by this act of Pearson alone, enough
employees were thus disfranchised to
have carried the State of New York
for Blaine had they-been permitted to
vots and had voted for Blaine. It is
plain to see why Pearson was appoint
ell, because Cleveland in appointing
dm is just paying for Pearsons treach-
cry and dishonesty in disfranchising
the republican voters which had the
effect to defeat Blaine and elect Cleve-
land.

tries and scrip locations, not dependent
upon acts of settlement and cultivation

all lands in New Mexico, Montana,
Wyoming, Nevada and that portion of
Minnesota north of the indemnity

The St. Paul Glo6e-Democ,at says:
'sTo-day's nominations have added fuel
to the flame of party discomfort, and a
regular conhagration may ensue. The
nomination of Henry G. Pearson to
succeed himself as postmaster of New
York City elected words of condemna-
tion on every hand among democrats
Prominent senators among the demo-
cratic party did not hesitate to say that
it was great mistake. Congressman
Spriggs of New York said that every
democratic senator who is moved by a
feeling of allegiance to his party
ought to refuse to assent to Pear
sons confirmation. He declared that
they ought to 60 further and fight the
nomination, to the bitter end. While
democratic politicians are wild over the
denomination of Pearson the civil
service reformers and so-called mug
wumps are in high spirits. They say
Cleveland is coming up to'their expec-
tations. When Beecher was here he
urged Pearson's retention. All New
York mugwumps, headed by Carl
Schurz and George w. Curtis, and
supported by the Times, have been
fighting for him.
The county democracy are said to
have had hand in it. 1t is limited,
however. that Mayor Grace, who call
ed upon the president, Secretary Man
ming and the postmaster general yes
terlay, was working for Pearson. The
county democracy want the collector
ship and don't want the postoffice. 1t
is said that Pearson's reappointment is
the result of trade; that it is Pear
sons reward for not closing the New
York postofice on election day

While the professional dem ocatic
Office seeker who prsmaturely rushes
to Washington to secure an appoint
ment to Office from the hands of the
president supposing that all that is
necessary is to ask for any office he
chooses and it shall be turned over to
him., is sadly disappointed, because the
president is desirous of bluffing this
class of persistent professional pests.
Yet the every day operations of the
president certainly must convince every
close observer that they are not sent
away on account of his convictions to
civil service reform rules, although the
president places it upon this ground
hoping thus to please the casual Oh
server and if possible keep good feeling
with the mugwumps. THAI this is
true is satisfactorily and conclusively
proven from the fact that every day
for some time past until the senate ad-
iourned the president was sending in
names of parties for confirmation by
the senate to places filled by competent
republicans whose time had not ex-
pired and against whom no charges
had been made except that they were
republicans and the appointed party
who desired the place was d democrat
This maneuvering of the president
shows him to be longer headed and
better fitted for wire pulling and
manipu' asing the change of republican
ippointses for democrats than his older
political workers such as Hendricks,
Vorhees and others, for the latter were
desirous of opening all appointive
offices for democrats to fill regardless Of

The question is very serious one
with President Cleveland how he will
occasionally slip in democratic ap-
pointee and slip out republican con-
trary to the tenure Of office act and
civil service reform rules. The repub-
lican Senate is looking out for his
favorable professions to civil service
reform.

The condition of business is well IL
Illustrated by comparing the present
surplus in reserve of the New York
banks and the excess on the cores
ponding date of the previous three
years with the mercantile failure rec
ord for the first quarters of the same
years. For the corresponding weeks
of the last three years and this wes K,
the state of the New York bank re-
serve was as follows: 1882, surplus
of 50, 3,33S,O0O; 1883, a deficiency of
s5,455, ,050; 1884, surplus of 50, $50,
900; for this week an excess of idle
sums amounting to $47,O92,0OO. The
failure record for the current thirteen
weeks is nearly double that for the
same period four years ago, with idle
money in New York banks many
times greater, showing the lethargy
and hesitancy on one hand and disas-
ters en the others. Is this de-
preston in business because moneyed
men have confidence in the financial
management of the government or is it
because they are afraid the new ad-
ministration will try some new fnan-
cial plans for those which worked pros
perity under republican management.
