NO MORE JUNKETING.

tits announced from Washington that
President Cleveland will remain at the
Capital nearly all, if not quite. the entire
summer, attending to his public duties.
The Secretaries also will take no pro-
tracted vacations, if they leave at all go
ing only for few days, so as to neglect
nothing requiring their attention. Since
Andrew Johnson there has been no
President who seemed to be impressed
with the. idea that he was an employee
of the people, who expected him to work
for the salary that was paid him. Presi-
dents have spent the summers at the
fashionable watering places or travelling
about the country by special trains,
having good time at the hotels free of
charge, and cruising up and down
the coast in government vessels at
the nations expense. Not only this
but the Cabinet Ministers have gone on
long junketing tours and enjoyed them
selves on land and water at the cost of
the government, while subordinates
have performed their work or the work
has not been done. 1t will be novelty
when all this is changed, the admin
istration remains at the Capital and
President and Secretaries are not hav-
ing good time at the expense of the
people and to the neglected their duties.
The President and his Cabinet Min
listers are employees of the people who
pay them for performing certain duties,
and those officials have no more right
to leave their posts and indulge in va
cations and pleasure jaunts than the
clerks in the departments have to do
the same things. Mr.. Cleveland seems
to understand what is expected of
President, and he has the courage and
manhood to satisfy the expectation.

A POLITICIANS TROUBLES.

The good-hearted DR.. Miller, editor of
the Omaha Herald, finds political prom
inence anything but pleasant. 1t will
be remembered that the Doctor was
widely talked about in connection with
the Postmaster-Generalship in Cleve-
lands Cabinet, but he didn't get there.
He accepted his defeat gracefully, and
settled down to continue his good and
honest work on the Herald. The fact
that he had been candidate for a Cab
met position was believed to have given
him a good deal of influence with the
administration, and he seems to have
been overwhelmed with applications for
places, and requests for recommends
tions to office. So annoying did the
business become that the Doctor, genial
and good-natured as he is, felt COM
PEELED to publish card assert
ing that he would sign no
more applications for Office. Whether
or not this brought the relief desired is
not stated, but it seems to have been
misinterpreted by some and to have
given offenseto others, for in late issue
OF our Omaha namesake we find the
following card of explanation:
A few days ago printed a necessary
notice to Democratic friends in the
State to cease sending petitions to me
for postoffices and other offices. / said
was not signing petitions, and also that
l should not forward any more of them
to Washington after that GATE. The
mistake is made that have refused to
take any part in securing appointments
to office. meant nothing of the kind.
| said nothing of the kind. rarely sign
petitions for any purpose. declined to
receive and forward them to Washing
ton because candidates for Office can do
this as well and better than l can, tor
the reason that the average chirography
is not so much like Chinese as some
people say mine is. Besides, it May oc-
cur to some people that candidates have
more time than have at my disposal in
which to do this.
No man is more willing to serve his
friends or his party than am, but am
sure / shall be permitted, without Of
tense, to choose my own time and way
of performing this grateful service.

cnrelnss of tha Hannenin.

A complaint comes from Washington
about the lukewarmness or indifference of
the four Chicago members of congress.
They say the success of the measure will
be of vast benefit to Chicago, and yet the
representatives in congress from that city
sit quietly by and allow members from the
interior and other states to take the ini-
tiatlve aud work up favorable sentiment
1t is naturally understood that the Chica~
90 members will vote for the bill, but it
is lamentable fact that their inertia is
really working an injury to its success
1t affords an excuse to members from the
middle and New England States to op-
pose it on the ground that it cannot pos
sess as much merit as has been claimed
for it, else the Chicago representatives
would manifest greater concern in its
passage Congressman Murphy expresses
great confidence that it will pass the
i house when the river and harbor bill
comes up next week. He says its friends
of last year are loyal in every case, and
that sufficient number of converts have
been gained from the ranks of those who
opposed it formerly to make its success
almost beyond peradventure.
