The conservative policy of the new admin
istration respecting office-holding will appear
II we review the record of the extra session
now ended. 1t is generally supposed that at
this session the incoming President sends in
what names he wishes acted upon by the Sen
ate In order to get his administration into good
running order In the present case the NOM
nations for civil offices amounted in all to 125
or this total, : are for cabinet Offices There
have been IS changes in the diplomatic SER
vice, out of q list of 80 ministers: and con-
suls changed out of 1872. There have been 5
new assistant secretaries named, besides one to
HI a vacancy by death, and heads of bureaus,
together with a few other changes of import
ance in the departments. Out Of about 80 T.
8. marshals and as many u. $. district at
torneys, there have been two or three changes in
each class and there have been 90 new post
masters appointed out of a total of 2,347 who
are nominated by the President and confirmed
by the Senate.
Thus the changes have relatively been very
few indeed. No doubt, had Blaine been elected
there would have been quite as many 1t is
not pretended. of course, that many others are
not to follow, but the statistics presented show
that the administration inclines to a very mod
crate and conservative policy. And the char
acter Of the selections prove this as well as the
limited size of the list. The new officials as a
class are men of conservative tendencies, and
not identihed with active machine politics. 1t
Is . common complaint that the workers
have got left; and to see how much ground there
is for their signs, one has only to turn to the
files Of the newspapers, of the dates imme-
distely following the fourth of March, and read
the columns of hopes and claims in the politi-
cal gossip of the hour. In scarcely a single case
has the man who was prominently named"
"weii-backed' and strongly pushed for q
place. got it.

The administrations ''good luck" attends IT
In the war-squal1 at Panama. An episode like
this gives the government a chance to show its
spunk and make it popular, without much
expense in men or material. Affairs at the
tsthmus appear to be in bad way, and the
presence OF a few marines and blue.jackets,
backed up by fleet of war vessels, will doubt
less have a wholesome effect To Judge from
Commander Kane's report, his labors have
already succeeded in saving the threatened
American property at Aspinwall, and this
property seems TO be about all that was saved

Contradictory reports come from the quarrel
some foreign nations. We are told in one breath,
for instance, that Russia has accepted the Eng
hsh terms and that England has yielded every
thing, and again, that China is forcing the
French 10 the wall and that she has signed a
treaty of peace which gives France everything
she asks These conflicting ruInors are not a
hopeful sign of peace, and it is quite too early
yet to assume that the war clouds have rolled
