OFFICIALS IN POLITICS.

Pernicious Activity Consists in Attempting
TO Ipjure the Administration.
Washington Special to New York World.
The World correspondent called at the White
House to-day for the purpose of obtaining an
official construction of the Presidents famous
order to the federal Office bidding their
taking part actively in politics. This circular
has been subject to many different constructions.
The Cabinet officers have taken different views
of its meaning. Secretary Lamar has decided
that under it the subordinates of his depart
ment must not make speeches during a
canvass Postmaster general Villas has said
that any man capable Of filling
the Office of Postmaster had mind
enough to construe the order for himself. Var-
GUS paragraphs have been sent out saying that
the President would forbid federal officials max
ing speeches in a campaign. This view was de-
MED at the White House today. Federal
officials can take part In a campaign by making
speeches
The case of the district attorney for Western
Pennsylvania has been submitted to the Presi-
dent for action. He is a Republican, and has
been on the stump for number of days. making
speeches for General Beaver The federal
official makes personal attack on the admin
istration and the President therefore, will
him. OF course. it naturally follows that
if this Republican official is permitted
to make speeches, Democra tic offce-holders will
not be forbidden. It is not deemed violation
Of the Presidents order for a federal official to
be delegate to any kind of county or State con-
venton, provided that he conducts himself while
there with decorum and does not make his Of
ice prominent So long as ary federal official
acts as mere citizen he can attend primaries,
go to conventions and make speeches as " ould
any citizen. The President did not desire when
he issued the order to take away the political
right of single federal Official he simply wished
them to guard against abuse of their power

practically have gone into the administration
waste basket. Only one of the cases made out
by Mr. Swift is being made the subject of
an investigation. This is the case Of
Collector Kuhn, who was a delegate to
the congressional convention which nominated
Mr.. Bynum The principal point made
against Mr. Kuhn is that he was con-
spicuous in a dseraceful political wrangle
In the convention But the fact that he
was in the convention was not considered a
sufficient cause for his reprimand removal.
Whatever may be the result of the investiga-
ton, it is certain that Mr.. Kuhn will not be re-
moved He may receive, after the election, q
letter of caution.
The original cause for issuing the order grew
out of the complaints of number Of Demo
Gratis made to the President against federal Of
hce-holders who Republicans These men
were using the power of their Office to defeat
the administration. This order was got up to
stop that sort of work. with, perhaps, the under
standing that Democratic federal officials would
not construe the order too literally

BASEBALL.
The st. Louis Browns Win Another Game in
the Worlds Championship Series.

ST. Louis, Oct 22.-The fifth game of the
worlds championship series to-day between the
Chicagos and the ST. Louis Browns was very
tame affair, the latter winning easily by score
of ten to three The new umpiring plan was re-
vived and the few close decisions satisfied every
one. Quest umpired for Chicago, McQuade for
St Louis. and Kelly oficiated between the pitch
er's box and second base as the referee The
playing on both sides very loose, the batting
heavy and the errors numerous. The Chicagos
seemed for once to have lost confidence in them
selves and played wretched game both at the
bat and in the field. Flint especially distin-
guished himself by his many and costly
errors, the Browns scoring twice on two
passed balls, and once on wild throw to
third base. Williamson pitched for the Chica-
COS in the first inning. but was knocked COM
pletely out of the box, and Ryan occupied that
position for the remainder OF the game.
The latter did good work for time, but
as soon as Flint began to play out he was obliged
to ease up and toss the balls slowly over the
plate, and was therefore batted freely and hard.
Burns, in right field, made two costly errors. al
lowing two men to score who otherwise would
have been left on bases.
Hudson pitched for the Browns and did most
excellent work. only three hits being made off
his delivery. This was his first effort with the
Chcagos, and he held the champions down to
three hits one being made by Anson, in the last
inning, when it was almost too dark to see the
ball. Bushong caught him in his usual brilliant
style. Caruthers did some brilliant batting at
critical points in the game, and fielded in splen-
did style. The attendance was very large, it be-
ing estimated that 10000 people witnessed the
game. The game was called in the seventh in
ming on account of darkness.
Or the games played so far, the Chcagos have
won two, and the Browns three The following

ants on estates are to act together and refuse to
pay any rent unless the reduction is accepted.
The National League in such cases will use
every effort to support the tenants. This policy
was accepted enthusiastically by the meeting,
but is not likely to be acted upon excepting on
two or three estates where landlords are unrea-
sonable. Possibly it will only be followed on
the Woodford portion of the Clanrcarde estate,
which seems likely to be the cock kpit in Ireland
this winter, which was described as the Their
mopyle of Irish freedom.
''The payment of rent to trustees for an evic-
ton fund is not likely to be general even in
Woodford, but no rent will be paid at Woodford
until the evicted tenants are reinstated, on one
hand, on Canricarde, or, on the other. the CON-
bination of tenants breaks down, which is backed
by all the forces at the disposal of the National
League at home and abroad"

THAT BOY OF MINE !!

That is the exclamation that is in the heart
if not on the lips, of every mother.
One of the best things you can do for "that
boy of yours" is to dress him well.
There is no discounting the moral effect of
a good suit of clothes.
The inner man (boys ere but little men)
takes complexion from the outer man.
We urge mothers, for this reason, to see the
fine display we make of Children's Novelties
in Suits and Overcoats.
We urge them for another reason: This is
the time of year to consider such displays.
We offer greater advantages than usual in
this way.
We have never had fuller, finer line of
goods in this way.

WORTH.

Alleged c~rookedncss in land matters
furnished digniied senators u pretext.
rather than an excuse, for their action in
refusing to confirm Gen. Rosecrans to the
comparatively small position to which he
had been assigned bya Democratic admin
strait IN. The generals land speculations
are known to have been chiefly confined
to Spanish grants in Southern California,
in which the United States could have no
interest whatever. But no matter for that,
the animms of the opposing statesmen
had a far different origin. Rosccrans,
while a member of congress, INDUCED in a
certain freedom Of speech in reference to
Gen. Grant, which was not to be tolerl-
ted, in spite of the boosted privilege which
establishes-or has been supposed to es
tablish the principle that no man shall
be held responsible for uttorances which
he may feel called upon to make as Il rep
resentative of the people. 1t is no de.
famation of Grant to praise Rosccrans for
the s~ollierly skill and heroic devotion dis
played upon a score of historic fields.
Conspicuous services, such as those which
at Corinth or Stone River would under
any monarchy have gained him titled
rank, are not deemed worthy even of re-
mcmbranee, and careful search must be
made into all the business transactions of
the old soldier to discover some flaw in
order to excuse his rejection. The in-
gratitude of republics is proverbial. and
the shurtness OF memory which marks
their leading statesmen Is traditional. The
great silent soldier who brought the
bloody contest 10 successful conclusion, is
not specially to be commended for all lis
business transactions, yet his memory de-
servedly is held dear, To him, no more
than 10 Rosecrans, is to be attributed any
intent of wrong. This-in disgraceful
bitterness of party malice-Republican

Ex-senator Blaine, in the second vol

fervid and discriminating culogy upon
MIR. Sumner, and skilliully Intervene it
with a defense of what Mr.. Sumner, like
John Wesley, believed to be the sum of
all v%anities. Only a man of Mr.. Lamar's
peculiar mental type could have ac.
complishcd the task. He pleased the
Radical anti slavery settlement of New
England; he did not displease the radical
pro slavery sentiment in the South. There
is a type of mind in the East that delights
in refned f~allacies, in the rcconciling of
apparent contradictions, in the tracing of
distinctions and resemblaaccs where less
subtle lntellects fail to perceive their pos
sibility. There is a certain Orientalism in
the mind Of Mr.. Lamar, strangely adj
mixed with typical Americanism. He is
full of reflection, full of Imagination;
seemingly careless. yet closely observant,
apparently dreamy, yet altogether prac-

RAILROAD EXTENSION.

interest on the subject of railroad extern

THE Northwestern seems to have

pushed along whenever the weather al
lowed, Within the past week, however,
nearly all of the sub contractors have been
withdrawn from the unfinished grade
north of Buffalo Gap, and transferred to
the main line. The desire seems to be to
concentrate all of the energy of the con
struction force on the proposed extension
to Fort Fetterman and beyond. 1t is
well known that the Union Pacific and
the Burlington 4 Missouri lines are being
pushed into the territory that the North
