out OF Office, hut II IL To be regretted
that there are comparatively few TO
whom the advice applies. II has
been remarked that the number dis
charged is fewer than IL usual at the
beginning of the fiscal year. Tho al.
vice given TO the alleged discharged
republican clerks may be summed
briefly as follows: Go out into the
country, cultivate truck garden,
and an independent spirit, plant eggs,
raise hens, dig tomatoes, make the
bleak brick yards about Washington
In Maryland, and Virginia blossom
like a nose. Il IL plain that the
Washington Editors have II down
fno and know oil about farming.
They evidently thought q myriad or
two OF republican clerks would be dis
charged on the first Of July, and have
had this good advice "Ip pickle" for
them, and although only about two
hundred were discharged they laun.

there has been no better example OF

republican clerks have ever known or
ever will know Of farming has been
learned In their regular cultivation Of
the beer gardens which abound Ia
Washington. Ia these they sit from

quantities of Deer, and refreshing the
spiritual man with music from brass

very mild feather duster has been
substituted for the heroic hickory
broom. Verify these are degenerate
days.
Among the episodes Of the last few
days has been the discharge Of a
democrat, Dir. Wallach, for offensive
partisanship, and the appoiotsaent Of
o republican, Keller, who Is very
offensive partisan. Dir. WalIach Was
q clerk ln the office Of the District
Marshall, which Office Is sill held By
an appoIntee of ex-Presidens Arthur.
Mr.. Wallach had been In an exuber-
ant growing condition, like an lnde.
fatigabie democratic rooster, ever
since The election Of Cleveland. His
great cheerfulness was worm. wood

ciates. To cut his Growing short
Marshall McM;chael turned him out.
II Is well enough, perhaps, 10 make
an example OF an offensive democratic
partisan, 1t Is poor rule that will not
work both ways. Growing Is vile
and vulgar habit. But IL all The
