chase of the square of ground west of the
present building for the use of the Post
Office Department. The business of this
Office has long been crowded into too con-
tracted quarters, and various adjoining
buildings are rented to provide accommoda-
tions, which are still unsuitable and INSULT
cient. 1t is to be hoped that Postmaster
General Villas will renew this recommends
tion to the House Of Representatives,, soon
to assemble, and urge the passage of the bill
already adopted by the Senate for the pur-
chase of this site.

The statement of Colonel Ludlow, that the
Commissioners will furnish dstailed sched-
ule Of the work for which they ask appro-
priations will be received with general salts
faction. The organization OF the citizens OF
South Washington for the purpose of securing
fair proportion of the money appropriated
for improvements, merely calls attention
TO the importance Of submitting detailed
statement Of the work which It Is proposed
10 undertake next year. This is informa-
tion to which taxpayers have right, aud
only good can come from clear and fall ex-
hibits. The details of the Improvements on
which it is proposed TO expend the public
money are proper subjects for discussion, and
the more they are discussed the better. The
way 10 satisfy the community In this matter
which Is one Of considerable difficulty, ID TO
have everything done as publicly and fairly
as possible. The suspicion that pariiality
is 70 be shown 10 favored localities would be
ten-fold greater were 1t attempted TO ~
cure the appropriation OF round sum 10 be
spent wherever the Commissioners choose.
We have no doubt whatever Of tha honest
intentions Of the Commissioners, but 1t Is q
mistake 10 postpone the discussion OF the de
tails Of improvements. The sooner the
schedule il accessible TO every one Interested
the better.

The cheap cabs are great convenience,
and The SUNDAY HERALD has always favored
them, but they have certainly added new
peril to street life in Washington. The
drivers are not always selected with care,
and their habit of urging their horses to a fast
trot on crowded thoroughfares, in turning
sharp corners, and other reckless methods.
have produced a long list of accidents to them
selves as we'll as others. At the theatres
every night the rush of cabs from one side
of the Avenue to the other in search OF fares
is highly dangerous and should be checked.
There is no general remedy for the evil, but
it should be found in Furnishing the careless
drivers and wedding them out of the service.

The Hatchet, whose editor is in a position
to know, says that the persons who received
three of the four important appointments
made by Public Printer Benedict last week
''are understood to be Republicans" Tile
Hatchet naturally praises the kind of civil
service reform which Printer Benedict prac-
tices, and we'll it may. Nothing suits Re-
publicans better than to see all the good
places given to Republicans. Democrats
will, however, take different view. They
think it is time for change in the Govern
ment Printing Office, as we'll as elsewhere.
For twenty years this office has been the
strongest kind OF political machine. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Benedict has fallen into the
wrong hands, and his career in Office will be
a failure unless he changes his advisers.
He selects Republicans for his principa
subordinates, and Democrats who call to set
him complain that they receive scant cour
tesy. There are plenty of deserving Demo
Gratis who have been kept ont OF this Office
for twenty ysars. Mr.. Benedict should no
I'LL it with Republicans when equally com pc

TO OFFICEHOLDERS

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The following
executive order was issued by the presi.
dent this afternoon:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
ID. c., July IA, 1886.-To the Heads of
Departments IN the Service CT the Gen.
eraE Government: | deem this proper
time to especially warn all subordinates
in the several departments and all Office
holders under the general government
against the use of their official positions
in attempts to control political movements
in their localities. Oficeholders are the
agents of the people, not their masters.
Not only Is their time and labor due to
the government, but they should scrupu
lously avoid in their political action as
we'll as in the discharge of their official
duty, offending by display of obtrusive
partisanship their neighbors who have
relations with them as public officials.
They should also constantly remember
that their party friends from whom they
have received preferment have not in
vested them with the power of arbitrarily
managing the political affairs. They have
no right as ofhceholders to dictate the
political action Of their party associates or
to throttle freedom OF action within party
lines by methods ard practices which
pervert every useful and justi6able pur-
pose OF party organization.
The influence of Federal Offices should
not be felt in the manipulation of politi-
cal primary meetings and nominating
conventions. The use by these officials
of their positions to compass their selec-
ton as delegates to political conventions
is indecent and unfair, and proper regard
for the proprieties and requirements of
official place will also prevent their as
suming the active conduct of political
campaigns. Individual interest and
activity in political affairs are by no
means condemned. Officeholders are
neither disfranchised nor forbidden the
exercise of political privileges, but their
privileges are not enlarged nor is their
duty to party increased to pernicious ac-
tivity by oficeholding. A just discrimi-
nation in this regard between the things
q citizen may properly do and the pur-
poses for which a public Office should
not be used, is easy, in the light of a
correct appreciation of the relation be-
tween the people and those entrusted with
political place, and consideration of the
necessity under our form os government
of political action free from official
coercion. You are requested to com.
municate the substance Of these views to
those for whose guidance they are in.

In view of the censorious judgments
passed upon Attorney General Garland's
conduct, he must find great consolation
in the copious application of whitewash
which Mr.. Carl Schurz has just bestowed
upon his case. Mr.. Sciurz sets himself
up as a kind of expert authority on the
morals of public men, and he expresses
the opinion that, in the Pan-Electric
business, Mr.. Garland has merely been
unfortunate. He is reported by An in
terviewer as saying:
It is not my thought at all that Mr..
Garland is anything more than unfor.
tunate. l can imagine how he was drawn
into this Pan-Electric matter. I do not
think that he had any appreciation of the
fact that the speculation was one of
millions. am inclined to think rather
that he thought he was getting few
hundred dollars worth of stock for his
legal service, ard that il was only
modest Arkansas fee that was given. /
can remember how it was with the great
Credit Mobilier affair, that there were
men who saw their associates making
money and they thought they could make
some too.
