Broad mind on ths, Subject Very
Deep Matter for small Brains.

WAsnixdToN, D. o., August 27.-Judge
McCue, Solicitor. Of the Treasury, has
given an opinion in regard to leaves Of
absence to Inspectors Of Customs, which
hasa general bearing on leaves granted to
sllclasses Of employees under the Treas
ury Department. The opioion, which has
been approved by the acting Secretary, is
as follows: The practice oi grant-
ing d leave OF absence seems to have
grown up in the department service with
out apecial provision Of Law, and it seems
that the custom has fixed the extent Of
thsleaye at q period not exceeding thirty
days, except for illness or other special
reasons, andino deduction was made from
the salary OF pompensation the clerk or
other employe. The act Of 1888 for
the frst time recognizes the unwrit-
ten law on the subject and provides
that ssall leaves Of absence from Depart
fnients on the part of said clerks or other
employees in excess Of snch leaveot alb
sence as may be granted by the headB
thereof, which shall not exceed thirty
,daSsin any one year, except in case Of
sickness, shall be without pay II is
the fair intent oil. the law there
fore, that having q leave of absence
and the same NOT exceeding thirty days
the clerk or employe shall during such
leave receive his usual pSy. It Is to-
DO borne in mind that 1eaYe is simply
permission, and the head Of the depart
ment has the right To allow 9 leave or
not and 10 what extent within the thirty
days, and that al leaves so granted must
be received upon the deistanding that

fore be. considered by the head
q the department in Determining
whether TO grant o leave or not, and,
iwhet for thirty days or leas, and the re-
sponsibiiity in relation to the whole Sub.
Iiact matter rests upon the head Of the de.
ipartinent. I have had occasion to cons.
siderthe subject Of the payment Of In.
