Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1886-09-23

The President has had his vacation and
is ready for work again. He is hard
worker and deserves the rest that he gets
for few weeks in the summer. 1t is
doubtful If there has ever been another
occupant of the White House who did as
much actual work as Mr.. Cleveland does.
1t has been suggested that he does great
deal that might Just as well as not be
done by clerks. 1t IS said, for instance,
that he wrote all the pension veto mes
sages during the last session of Congress.
Doubtless they could have been written
by a frst-class clerk, but Mr.. Cleveland
would have been hardly as well satisfied
with them. AS he gets further along in
his term, however, he may reach the con-
cluslon that he can administer his office
to better advantage by confining himself
to such matters as imperatiVely de-
mand his personal attention, leaving
the answering of letters ard the pre-
pairing of documents to competent clerks.
Doubtless he will have to give more OF
his time 10 social matters this winter than
he did last. Mrs. Cleveland is very young
and no DOUBT will be very popular. The
few weeks she spent In Washington i'm
mediately after her marriage were sutfici-
ent to make her favorite. The intlica-
lions. therefore, are that the approaching
winter will be one OF the most brilliant,
socially, ever known at the national capt.
tai.
Mr.. Cleveland will not be so bothered
with the office seekers this winter as he
was last. About all the important Offices
in different parts OF the country are now
filed with Democrats, and the pressure,
therefore, will only be for appointments to
vacancies. The probability that there
will be many vacancies is not great. The
number not caused by death will be re-
rkably small.
The demand that all Republicans
hall be forced out of the civil SER
vice in order to make places for Demo
Gratis, while it has some justice in it, will
hardly be complied with. The prospect
il that the policy which the President an
nounced at the beginning of the admins
tration respecting the officeholders
will be continued to the end of his
term. The same, probably, is true with
respect to the ADMINISTRATORS financia
policy. The President isn't the kind OF a
man to change his opinions without very
excellent reasons.
