Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, says:
''He who expects the offices to be
changed in a year is foolish. Yet
there are those who have looked foi
it to be done in few months. They
are people who do not for one mo.
nlent consider the vastness of the
task of accomplishing these changes.
We can have confidence in the Presi-
dent, He is . good and strong nia,,.
l am constantly astonished in my
contact with him by his wide and in
innate knowledge of every subject
with which he has to deal. / ven.
ture the assertion that he knows
more of the workings of the depart
ment and of the whole system and
machinery of our government at this
moment, not two months since his
Inauguration, than any other Presi-
dent know in a year thereafter"
The New York postofice matter
settled, the Louisville postoflice
comes up to give the administra-
ton trouble, but it is trouble of
different character. The office at
Louisville is held by woman.
The salary is $4,000. Mrs. Vir-
ginia Thompson Is the woman, and
she owes her appointment chiefly
to tho fact that she is the daughter
of Alexander Cambell, founder OF
the Cambelite or deciples' church.
Gen. Garfield, who was a member
of that church, was easily persuad-
ed to give the Louisville postoffice
to Mrs. Thompson. When Presi-
dent Arthur came into Office, de-
termined effort was made to get
Mrs. Thompson out, but she had a
tremendous Garfield backing, in
cluding Mrs. Garfield. Her COM
mission expires shortly, and she is
now in Washington trying for the
reappointment. -Courler--Jou
