thelia, the technical name for a can
cerous disease which attacks the root
OF the tongue. His physicians say
that he can live only few months,
at most, and his daughter, Mrs. sar-
toris, in England, has been tele-
graphed for. Senator Ben. Hill, OF
Georgia, died of a similar affection.

to Washington City by special train.
Two railway companies offered to
transport him free of all charge, but
Mr.. Cleveland paid for the special
train out of his own pocket. This

1t is understood that the members
Of the new cabinet will dispense with
a custom inaugurated by cabinet
officers under President Grant, of
using departmental carriages for their
private purposes or for their families.

will save the government at least
$3.50, 900 year.

The Mahones Postmasters.
washington Cor. Of rhiladelphia 4Ymes.l

washington Cor. of Philadelphia IImes.1
A Virginia delegation was up to
the Post Office Department to-day to
see Postmaster-General Villas about
the policy of the administration to-
wards the Malone Postmasters. Ep-
pa Hunton presented the case. He
showed what corrupt set of men
Malone had foisted upon the people
of Virginia and declared that every
Malone Postmaster should be re-
moved Immediately. Mr.. Villas lis
tened very patiently and was much
interested in the statements of Mr..
Hunton and others. When they
were made he turned to Mr.. Hunton
and inquired whether it would not
have the same moral effect upon the
State if, as fast as the commissions
of these Postmasters expired, they
were simply dropped and Democrats
appointed in their places.
No, by Cd" replied the bluff
Virginian, bringing. down his fist
upon the desk. Z" They ought to go
now, at once. %
Notwithstanding this emphasis and
earnestness Postmaster-Gener
maintained that he could do nothing
for them. Bad as were undoubtedly
the Mahone-Hatton tactics it would
be worse for this administration to
repeat them by wholesale political
removals. AS may be imagined the
Virginians are mad and swearing or
all sides that at the next election Yir-
ginia will go Republican.
The stand taken by Mr.. Villas is in
strict consonance with the policy of
the administration outlined in these
dispatches last night. Where indi-
vidual cases of corruption, ineffici-
ency, ETC., are successfully made re-
movaIs for cause will follow, but men
will not be removed for political
opinions, and the Democrat who
wishes to succeed decent Republi-
can must wait until his term is out.

That when we reach our journeys end.
