The following Washington corres-
pondence to the Boston Globe, is giving the
chills to the Republican place seekers:
When an official of the postofice depart
ment rendered his resignation to Mr.. Wanna
maker, with the remark that the services of a
political friend would probably be more de-
sirable, the new Postmaster General said:
"Politics will never be cause for dismissal
in this department while I am here. You
may keep your resignation, and expect to
stay here as long as You are as competent and
faithful as any man I can get. When you
cease to have such qualities shall not want
your resignation-I will give you your walk
ing papers"
| Another incident of the new administration
of the postofice department was Mr.. Wana
makers decision ona report made to him in
regard to filing six vacancies. The report
said that SIX applications we're on file from
men in the city postofice who sought to be
promoted to the general Office. 1t vas stated
| that the custom had been to encourage the
city force with such advancenents; but it was
| also stated that an the six applicants we're
Democrats, and the Postmaster General was
asked if a requisition therefore be made upon
the civil service commission for men to fill
these vacancies, ,TI,ILl.t.fr,f}
| Mr.. Wanamaker ANSWERED: mo; it ught
to be a sufficient evidence of the competency
of the applicants that they are employed in
the city postofice, and don't care what
ticket they vote. believe in promotions
and therefore direct the appointment .of'the
six applioante.N | .F3gFg ~ s,$f = :

AN important bill became law last
week, by passing both houses of the legisa-
ture. The law amends section 1884 of the re-
vised statutes, applying the same rule to
criminal as now obtains in civil cases, and
permits husband and wife to testify in each
others behalf in all criminal cases. Under
existing statutes the husband and wife are
barred from giving evidence when either is
on trial for criminal offense, although they
may be in possession of facts that would
tend to establish the innocence of the accused
beyond q doubt.
