guiIiotme in Iuu working order; and my
observation leads me to advise those who
hope and expect to secure official posi-
tons under President Clevelands ad-
ministration to keep as far away from
Washington as possible for the next three
months. What may follow then it would
perhaps be q little risky to predict; but l
imagine that by that time matters will
move on with a celebrity that will lie deci-
dedly comfortable TO the Democratic heart.
Senator Vance says that the administrG-

For years and years the Sons Of Erin
who left their native land to find homes
in the United States have been in the
habit Of receiving annually from the green
isle letters from their kinsfolk and others,
in which have been enclosed the beauti-
full shamrock, the chosen leaf of bard
and chief These misSives are usually
received before and after the celebration
Of St. PatriCk's day. They ought to be
coming now, but many au Irishmsn this
year will not receive the shamrock, for
the reason that the British postmaster
general has issued an order against re-
ceiving such letters He says that the
shamrocks being moist, tie pressure in
the bundles causes other letters to be
damaged and the addresses obliteIated .
The action will no doubt be looked upon
by the Irish in America az piece Of pet
ty spite on the part of the British gov,
eminent.

to be commissioner OF internal revenue.
While the kentucky delegation are natur.
ally disappointed at their failure TO persuade
the president to appoint Hon. Phil Thomp-
son to the c0ulmtsionership of internal
revenue, with some exceptions the defeat Is
taken in a philosophical manner, and they
will now probably push Mr.. Thompson for
railroad commissioner Those who are
most disappointed declare that Miller's
appointment was at the dictation of
Randall AMI means that he is to have con-
troll Of the appointment of collectors and
subordinates in every congressional district
of the country, while, had Thompson been
appointed, everything would have been
manipulated in tie interest of Carlisle.
