wAsuIsoroS, June L-Tbe presence in
the city of 80 many politicians and pro-
uouuced office.seekes, coupled with the
fact that there have been many removals
Of Republican clerks within few days
past, leads 70 the belief that fror- now on
until the Lat Of July there will be many
changes In the different departments.
The policy pursued TINS far has been to
replace the dismissed employees by the
appointment Of Democrats from the out
side, even chiefs Of divisions being thus
chosen. These men have immediate
charge of the work Of the respective div
sions to which they have been assigned.
They come into the department, Us 4
rule, with absolutely no experience for
the duties they are expected 10 perform.
When Is taken into aceountth fact
that In every ons Of these individual cases
the appointees.d do not earn their salaries
until alter they learn the duties OF their
respective positions aud are qualified,
their work being performed at first aud
for long time afterward by suhorjinates,
the bnasted economy OF the new A 'min-
istraiuu does not develop itself Ithas
been the policy Of Republican Admins
ions to promote employees from the lower
grades tn fill These places of chiefs Of divt-
sions and even bureau officers and the
present Administration comes into power
finding men in high placrs who starred in
the service ar 4 lower grade in.the old
days OF Democratic supremacy, and have
attained their present responsible posi-
tiGns by virtue OF the policy tull0wed, by
Republican Administrations in promoting
deserving employEs as vacancies are found
in the grades abOvethstn. 1.-THE dgns are

house was made, which was afterward
taken up in secular circles and to-day the
cash subscriptions have swelled to S85, ,0O0.
While this exCitement was up, the Meth0.

zeal spresd, and thesocial circles Of Peach
