appointment of Postmasters, anu
congressman.

The President and the Postmaster
General have distinctly announced that
the appointment of Postmasters is
neither prerogative, nor perquisite
of Senators and Representatives. 1t is
a dull Congressman who has not learned
that this is the policy Of the Admins
tration but the people ought to know it,
that what they consider sins of omis-
sion and of commission, may be laid at
the right door.
Another purpose has been announced
by the Administration through the First
Assistant Postmaster-General, who deals
with appointments of the Fourth Glass.
1t is that the will Of the majority of the
patrons of a post Office shall be carried
out in the appointment Of postmasters
even if their choice is a Republican.
These facts are set forth in the follow
ing statement in the Washington Post
which processes to speak by authority
Under past Administrations it was long
the custom of the Postofiice Department q
appoint postmasters solely upon the request
Of Congressman in whose districts the ap
pointments N eht be made. This plan OBJ
yiously gave rise to many abuses, and ha'
never been acceptable to the new Admins
tration.
A case in point may be cited, in which
after careful consideration Of the qualiica
tions Of the various applicants, a selection
was made not entirely consonant with thu
wishes Of the Senator in whose distric
/ the application was made, and he com
/ planned Of not having sufficient dictatiOI
4 in the matter. The Senator asked, in con
| clusion, if the 'prerogatives' of Senator
were to be interfered with in this way.
| First Assistant Postmaster General Hay
/ before whom the case came, took occasioi
| to quite fully express his views upon thi
| point lie stated that he was unaware O
| any Congressional "preogative" at all whic
! the department was bound TO respect
| Correct information, he added. was Away
| sought, and the views of It Senator or Req
resentatiye would of course receive grea
weight and consideration but he did nc
know that they had "prerogative
whatever in the matter.
Mr.. Hay added To forcibly illustrate hi
! views on this point, Il am entirely Ignol
ant OF any law or correct principle whic
directs this department must at all conforr
to the dictates ofSl Senator or any numbe
Of Senators in it, appointments TO office
If the fact should come to nay knowledg
that the majority Of the patrons OF pos
Office should desire an appointment
should be made even if he was a Republ
can.
But how is the will of the majority {
be ascertaiued? We happen to know
Senator and Representative, who, worl
ing in harmony and standing on tn
Democratic principle that the will Of til
people as expressed by the majorit,
should govern, have tried every plan :
far from petition to primary election
and do not yet know whether they hay
found the right one. 1t would be
great thing if the First Assistant, in la.
down the rule of ror popuH, would pr
| scribe n mode of ascertaiDipp il.

Interesting to Applicants for Post
Office Inspectorships.

In response to flood of applications
for positions as postofiice inspectors, the
Postmaster,G General selected $50 names
of persons most favorably recommended,
and sent them notices requiring ans
wers to certain questions by which their
fitness for the service could be ascertain
ed. The questions were intended to
secure information as to the age of the
applicants, their experience in postal
business and other matters Aswers
were received from about 175 persons.
A special committee was appointed to
examine and classify the answers aud
select from them the most promising sub
jects. About thirty-fiye applicants were
rejected because of advanced'age. There
were twenty applicants from one State,
all endorsed by the Senator's of the
State. As these appointments will be
made with view to a fair geographical
distribution, but two persons at most
can be appointed from one State. The
committee has submitted its report, and
the Postmaster-Genera viii notify the
persons selected by the committee to
appear at an examination to be held in
this city about the middle of next
month. The vacancies to be filed num-
Der about thirty-two.

Railway Postal Clerks.

There has been a great rush for Rail
way Postal Clerkships under the mis-
taken belief that there would be a whole
sale dismissal of that class of officials as
they are not controlled by the civil ser.
vice law. We would refer the numerous
applicants for these places, to the Official
Postal Guide for May, which contains a
notice over the signature of the Post.
master-General, chat efficient and hon
est railway clerks, who have not turned
their attention to political labors during
their service, need have no fear of being
disturbed in office"
In reference to this subject the Post.
master-General, says: THAT declaration,
in regard to the postal clerks and their
retention, has never been departed from
in single instance, ] believe. One
mistake was made, but when / discover
ed it, | restored the man to service.
There have been very considerable
number of removals made, but | think
that not less than three-fourths, or per-
haps nine-tenths of them, were made
because of neutrality-suspicious. they
were not good clerks-because sley
were what is known in the service as
dead wood.
From these official statements it is
evident that the shortest cut for aspi-
rants to these clerkships is to find in
competent and delinquent clerks, and
to. prefer and establish charges against
them. No doubt the discovery will be
made that many of them ought to go.

Are Clergymen Clear ofIt2

\. Y. Herald.
The Rev. DR.. ROBERT CoLLYER con
tends to the Language Club that while
the law is rotten with verbiage "the
pulpit has no such grievance TO com.
plain Of" Perhaps the pulpit has not.
1t is in the pews, not in the pulpit, that
the grievance is felt. The pulpit is the
place from which it is inflicted. There
are few churches in New York from
whose pews complaints of the verbiage
of the pulpit do not sometimes arise.
Discourses of the brevity of Dean Swift's
charity sermon are SO uncommon as to
be almost miraculous. And yet the
Founder of the Christian religion set
the example, in Matthew. vii, II, of
condensing both "the law" and ''the
prophets" into a single commandment
of only seventeen words.
