HOW THE PROHIBITION QUESTION ENTERED
INTO IT.
Col. John NcFall, chairman Of the st. Louis
executive committee, is in the city. Col. Nc
Fall feels elated over the success of the entire
city ticket at the late municipal election there,
except the mayoralty, which was won by the
democrats on a small majority, attributable to
the prohibition question, against which the
democrat mayor-elect had decided while
judge on the bench. The three republican
members of Congress from that city in the
next House owe their election largely to the
active chairman. Col McFall is the guest of
his son-in-law, Richard Sylvester, of this city.

OFr1cE-SEEKERs Who SEND THEIR PHoTo-
GnAPHs.-An oddity in the line of applications
for Office has been received at the Post-Office
department 1t was a photograph of the ap-
plcant and was accompanied by the request
that the picture be filed with the papers in the
case. What is intended to be genial smile
has evidently been too much for the skill Of
the country photographer, and the result is an
expression of mingled astonishment and dis
may, which is no doubt much more amusing
than the original smile. This is the third ap-
phcation accompanied by photograph which
has been received at the Post Office depart
ment, and if the action of the Postmaster-Gen-
eral is favorable in these cases there is proba-
bility of the custom becoming general, at least
in such cases where the features of the appli-
cants cannot be personally brought within the
focus of the ostmaster-General's eye

Maryland and Virginia Postmasters.

FACT1oNAL FIGHTS IN THOSE STATES THE REASON
WHY so FEW CHANGES ARE MADE.
The few changes that have been made in the
fourth-class post-offices in Maryland and yir-
ginia under the present administration have
been the cause of considerable comment. The
daily batch of changes contains post-offices
from nearly all the states in the Union, but in
the case of Maryland and Virginia only abso-
lutely necessary appointments have been made.
A prominent Maryland politician, who was at
the Post Office depar tment to-day, told STAR
reporter that factional fights were the obstacles
in the way of the Maryland appointments.
1T is not the intention" he continued Ito
antagonize the republicans of the state by
taking sides. Such a course would be apt to
endanger the prospects of the party in the fall
elections. There is good fighting chance for
the republicans to carry the legislature next
fall and elect United States Senator. What
ever changes in the offices are to be made. the
harmony of the party in the state will be kept
i'll view"
In Virginia it is said that there is good
deal OF friction between the republicans, and
Mr.. Clarkson, the first assistant, is moving
with caution.
