Another very busy man. and one who is
just now attracting good deal OF atten-
ton, is Malcolm Hay, the First Assistant
Postmaster General. For sick man he
is certainty making pretty healthy rec
ord. He has the duty OF examining the
applications for the appointment of post
masters Of the fourth class, or. IN other
words, those whose salary falls below
$1,000 year. 1t is a curious fact that as
vigorous fight can he made over a post
Oiice paying no more than $3.50 year as
over one where the salary Is 5000. ~ on

Office official, talking OF 10 to your

means a change in the location of the Of

office is so email no one can take it except
in connection with his business, and he
must remove il 10 the place where be is
employed. This frequently causes local
preiudices the people in one end of the
town who have had the post office near

have to go a block or two further
TO get their weekly paper or
an occasional letter. and that their end OF
the town Will suffer great disadvantages
il the post Office is taken to some other
part OF the village. As natural result
the other end OF the town wants it

come in petitions and counter petitions by
the basket fun. 1t Is no unusual thing to
receive petitions tor ana against certain
appointment or relating to a certain
Office with two or three times as many
names as there are voters in the town.
The result is a great deal of labor and
puzzling work IN deciding what TO do
with cases Of this sort. When you consider
that there are hundreds Of such cases
coming in every day and that hundred
or two must be disposed of daily, it is
easy to see how busy man the First As

There is a popular belief that the busiest
people are the heads Of the departments
and the appointment clerks. This is a
popular error. To be sure these officers
are busy, bat they are not more pressed
by the anxious thrOng than some or the
others of their departments. Take the
Treasury Department for instance. Ii is
an error to suppose that the appointment
clerk wrestles with all the appointments
made there. Indeed the most important
work done there thus far has been by the
head OF the Internal Revenue Bureau,
Commissioner Miller. or course all the
papers 90 through the hands Of Mr.. Hig-
gins, but the responsibility Of making
selections and OF listening to the appeals
for the appointments, rests largely
with Mr.. Miller. An hour in his
room VIII show to the observer some
thing Of the scramble there is
for the places in his bureau, and the work
devOlving upon him. He occupies large
room In the north end Of the Treasury
building, full square from the Office of
the Secretary, although in the same build
ing. The number of visitors calling upon
him In day is something wonderful. All
recommendation for places in his depart
ment, all oral arguments as 10 the fitness
Of this or that man for Collectorship, are
poured into his ears. His room is the
Mecca OF all pilgrims who visit here with
reference to the internal revenue collec-
tOrships of the entire country. 1t has be-
come generally understood that the
internal revenue collectOrships and
the places under the Collectors are to be
the first filed, and every collection dis
trict has turned it's batteries upon the
Commissioner. Go to his room at almost
any hour Of the day and you are sure to
lind it filled with anxious persons. Some
Of them are the candidates for place, some
are the friends Of these candidates. and
some are the members OF Congress, all Of
whom think that they ought to have
something TO say about the selections for
these places. The room is very large
one, and is lined with chairs and sofas.

sim another busy man and one who is
attracting a good deal of attention to him.
self just now is Mr.. Warner, of Ohio, the
apostle Of silver. MIR. Warner dld not cut
much OF a figure in the last Congress. BE
tried hard enough TO do so. but found his
'racket" a rather Improbable one. He
tried to pose as a sort Of another Holman,
Directing to everything that offered an
opportunity for objection, and kicking
up large row on very small matters
whenever opportunity offered. He sue
ceeded in one thing, hOweYer-and that
was IN making himself extremely I'M
popular with everybody except Mr..
Warner. just at the close of the session,
however, he struck new lead, and drop
ping everything else turned his attention
TO silver. Here he found field in which
he succeeded in attracting national atten-
ton. There are lots of people who have
Views about silver. Mr. Bland has been
the leader OF the silver men for a
long time, but somehow he seems to have
lost his grip of late. 1t was a master
stroke with Mr.. Warner when he laid
down the role Of director and crank on
general principles and decided TO devote
himself 10 silver. He has made a decided
hit. His latest proposition for the issue of
silver certificates based on silver bullion
deposited in the Treasury, is attracting
much attention, whatever its merits are.
/ He Is receiving great many letters from
all over the country on the subject, and is
the centre of attraction here. He is
spending more or less OF his time
here ana in New York now, enjoying
the n0toriety that he has thus gained.
Some days be is here, some in New York,
aud some at his home in Ohio. He does
not remain away from here, however, for
in New York and Washington it Is easier
to pose as great national issue than any
where else, and nothing suits Warner
better than to be considered a national
ISSUE. AUSTIN.
