The commissioner of pensions has asked
for the resignation of Miss Ada G. Sweet,
pension agent at Chicago, whose commits
sion does not expire until 1885, In his letter
he expressly states that he makes the re-
quest on no personal grounds nor because the
Office has not been ably and faithfully man
aged. What his reason is he leaves the
agent and the public to guess. Miss
Sweet has replied directly to the President
refusing to resign, so If she is to be
got rid of she must be removed. 1t looks as
If her removal would be direct violation
Of the civil service principle. Being woman
she is not likely to have been an Offensive
partisan" so that she can hardly be re-
moved upon that ground, and she is con-
coded to be an efficient and faithful officer.
II looks therefore as if her removal would be
tantauount to a confession on the part of
the administration, that sometimes at least,
oficeholders are to be turned out for no
other purpose than TO make room for hun
cry Democrats. If the President sustains
the commissioner of pensions and Miss
Sweet has to go 1t will look very much as If
a clean sweep was about to begin.
