A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

The Republican Senators wish to learn
whether Republican officials who have
been suspended by Mr.. Cleveland are
charged with any other offense than vot-
ing the Republican ticket.
In regard to the Offices of secondary
Importance, Mr.. Cleveland bas professed
that he should be influenced by no par
tisan motives and consider only good
character and efficiency. In his annual
message be expressed fervent hope that
the country would be spared in future
the demoralizing spectacle of witnessing
the public office used to reward partisan
service. It is, therefore, only natural
that the Republican senators, who have
to vote on the confirmation of nomina-
tions made to fill the places of officers
who have been suspended when they
note tina: tie officers suspended are all
Republicans and the new nominees all
Democratic workers, and when they heve
no evidence that the nominees are, in
respect to character and ability, superior
to their predecessors, should desire to
know whether the presidents actions
conforms to his professions.
The president may be able to show
that it does or to prodnce evidence that
led him to believe that his nominees,
aside from any party consideration, are
better men for the places than those
whom they have supplanted. and he
ought to welcome an opportunity for
demonstrating his good faith and SINGER
ity. The opportunity thus afforded him
ought also to delight thuse of his Mug
wump supporters who have loudly insisted
on bis great merits as a civil service re
former
If the president should show that he
had suspended no officers such as lost
masters, revenue collectors district attor-
news, ar,hals and others, whose duties
are in no respect political, except in
cases where he had reason to believe that
the public interests demanded change,
and lFat in nominating their successors,
be has wholly disregarded partisan con-
sderation and directed his efforts solely
to securing the best men in point Of abil
ity AID character it would be a splendid
vindication both for the president and the
Mugwumps. 1t is a great opportunity,
IT the president has been misrepr1sented,
10 overwhtlm bis detractors, but he
doesn't seem eager to embrace it.
Is it because he is So magnani nous
that he does not wish to cover hss malig-
ners with the humiliation and confusion
which bis vindcalion would cast upon
them? Or does be shrink from the test,
and fear that it wculu only disclose a
hollow sham behind his fair profession?
The New Pork Times (MugwumP) says
it is believed that The Republicans wish
to how that President Cleveland j. not
living up to bis proessed ideas of civil
service reform" and calls if an effort 'to
worry the president away from the paths
ot reform. This is strange language IL
The president is a geDuioe reormer it
certainly would not worry him away from
the paths oil reform to give him a chance
TO show what be has done in the way Of
reform.

A LATE TRICK.
The Woman in Black and Her Profuse,
Apologies.


Apologies.
There was quite a throng of ladies
standing on the corner of Clark and
Madison streets yesterday afternoon
waiting for west side cars Into the
center of the group slender little
woman in black thrust herself so vigor-.
ously that one of the ladies in the front
was pushed from the curb into the
street The momentum of the woman
in black apparently carried her for
ward with the lady she had pushed,
whom she grabbed quickly around the,
waist as if to save her from falling. As
the two recovered their equilibrium
reporter, who was passing, thought ne
saw one of the slender little females
hands emerge from a pocket in the
hustle of her whom she had jostled.
There was, however, nothing in her
hand, and after an effusve apology she
crossed the street and walked quickly
to State Street, up which she turned.
The reporter followed her. At the
corner of Washington and State streets
several ladies were standing ON the
curb line as usual and blocking the COR
ner. Again the little woman in black
darted into the crowd, and again she
pushed one of the party into the street.
A second time she went through the
form of saving her victim from fall,
and this time there was no doubt about
her hand leaving the recesses of the
others just as both came up standing.
She was unsuccessful again, however;
as the lady that had been projected
into the street carried her purse in her
hand. The little woman in black apol-
ogized gracefully, and tripped into a
passing car without leaving a shadow
of suspicion after her.
What the reporter saw is probably
the latest trick of the female pickpocket
to ply her trade on the street under the
most favorable circumstances, and it
shows that hustle pockets are not the
investment for ladies who will stand on
street corners.-Ch Chicago Nesos.
