HERE WAS A TINE when political
offices changed hands nothing was
thought Of it, Now if man loses
the office where he has faithfully
hlled fora number of years, and been
an active partisan. it is something
awful. As changes in ideas are 90
ing forward daily, we suppose this
one idea OF holding an employc of
the government in Office as long as
he lives. Stuff and nonsense. To
the victor belong the spoiIs, and as
long as there is a Democratic Pre- j.
pent Democrats will be appointed
to fill the offices now occupied bv
Republicans. Civil Service is a nice
law, but like many other laws. has
loop-holcs, and in many WAYS can
be gotten around. 1t is solid fact
that two-thirds OF the officc-holders
and oilice-seekcrs are offensive par.
tisans.' What is to be done There
Is no better plan to adopt than thai
Of President Cleveland. But few
oiiice-seckers are anything else bu
partisans, and the same can be sale
OF otlicc-holders, and therefor,
changes made in officers are bene
fetal, in many instances, when non
partisan men are selected. We de
not know how this civil service
business will act, but are of tn
opinion that Democrats want office
and offices they will get.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18th, 1ss.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23th, 1885.
People are rapidly drifting back to the
Capital. Senators, Members of the House
and sections of that large non-official
winter population of Washington are ar
irving daily.
The members of Congress already
here are occupied chiefly in perfecting
arrangements for locating their families
and in discussing the probable issues of
the session. They agree upon at least
two subjects, first that the House rules
must be changed early in the session so
as to facilitate legislation, and secondly 4,
that the silver question will come up
promptly for consideration.
Senator Allison has been numbered
among the friends of silver in Congress,
and his opinion, to the effect that the
further coinage of the silver dollar might
be suspended, has special significance.
He will acquiesce in stopping coinage
temporarily as an experiment.
The opening of the new Congress is
not likely to furnish an exciting contest
over the House offices. Their distribu-
ton is pretty well understood, only the
doorkeepership promising to afford the
semblance of a struggle. And if indica-
tions are to be trusted, sembl ance is all
there will be of it. Mr.. Donelson OF Ten
nessee is as good as elected. Besides be-
ing considered courteous and qualified,
Mr.. Donelson is a relative of Andrew
Jackson, and with a Democratic House
there is something in name.
The President said to a Republican
Senator few days ago, that he would
esteem it a great favor if Senators know
ing anything Objectionable or detrimen-
tai to public interests about persons APP
pointed by him, would apprise hin of
the facts. The President expects an
attack will be made on some Of his ap-
pointments. He believes, however, that
the majority of Republican Senators will
be disposed to confirm them, except
where there are real grounds for objec-
ton. If such cases exist, he wants to
have his attention called TO them before
there is an organized opposition. The
Republican Senators will hold a caucus
before Congress meets, and an effort will
then be made to define a course to be
pursued with regard to the Presidents
nominations.
1t is said President Cleyeland's mes
sage will not occupy more than four
average newspaper columns This vii
be considered quite an improvement on
the eight column messages of the past
1t cannot be denied that prolixity has
been fault of many Presidents in max
ing their annual communications to Con-
gress and the country. There are many
topics requiring only a brief generaliza
ton. One of President Arthur's mes
sages was stolen and published before il
was delivered to Congress. So was Gen
Grants first message, and one of the
messages of Mr.. Hayes was bought fol
$1,000 of printer by some newspaper
men and published before its time. Pres
ident Cleveland is nothing if not eau
tious, and premature publication of hi
first message is not pro babe.
