WASHINGTON, ID. O., June %
Congressman elect Moore of New Hamp-
shire, editor of the Nassau Telegraph, is tho
last and one of the most forciblc TO urge the
election of postmasters by the committees
, which they would DO obliged to serve. Ho
| has already had some bitter experience with
| the praticts of his district. He declares that
"any member of the New Hampshire legis-
| lature Is a statesman and occupies thor
| oughly statesmanlike position compared to
| the senatorial and congressional mongers
in federal patronage that represent the state
OF New Hampshire Mt Washington His
| colleague, Congressman Neut 1t seems Sc
lected postmaster for q certain town after
some difficulty. That postmaster very soon
fell sick and died There was the Same
tussle again among the candidates for the
succession; so Congressman Moore ap-
proaches The subject again with chagrn and
fear
This SYSTEM" he said, "that makes petty
peddlers and auctoneers OF the members of
the national congress will be strangled some
day. The system is a nuisance and per-
perversion. 1t is burlesquc upon repro.
sentative governments. It's only fruits are
contention, weakness and rottenness"
When Congressman Moore comes TO WASH
ington he will find either tnat he knows more
than ne thought he did about the subject, or
that he doesn't know much.
sTANDFoRD's REMOVAL.
The position of the department of Justice
with regard to the removal of Chief Justice
Stamford, of Utah, was found out today to
be this Charges affecting Staudford's stand
ing as judge were forwarded TO the depart
ment by lawyers and citizens of Utnn with
out regard to party. They maintained IN tho
affidavit not only that he persistently re-
fused to carry out to the letter and spirit
of the Edmund's anti.poligamy law,
but that by training and tempera-
ment he was wholly without the
qualifications of the inst judge. When these
charges were brought TO the attention of the
Encouragement he began searching inves-
tigation. He found that not only these
charges, but others fully as serious could be
proved. He, therefore, after consideration
with the president, called for Standford's
resignation; that MIR. Clevaland's oppointee
refused to send, then his removal was de-
manded. He could not prevent that. Ex
Chief Justice Zane who was removed by
Cleveland to make room for Stamford, the
New York ward worker was recommended
for his old position by the same lawyers and
citizens of the territory without regard to
party, and he was promptly appointed. Ad-
vices received at the department from Utah
indicate that the policy of President Harr-
son and AttorneyGeneral Miller is
thoroughly approved by all good citizens who
believe in the enforcement of the anti
pologamy law, aud the ultimate extinction of
Mormonsm.
ONLY ONE PATRIOT.
1t was very dull to-day, with the president
and postmaster-general out of town. Only
one real patriot called at the white house.
He is much disappointed that General Hur
rison was not there to receive him.
Let me see Lige Halford," he said, che
will do all right. l don't carewho see if
get the Office want"
He did see the private secretary aud went
away in good spirits. Whether he gets that
office or not is another question.
THE CENSUS EMPLOYEES.
The question whether the census bureau
shall be put under the jurisdiction of the
civil service commission or not is not
answered yet. Superintendent Porter main
tains that it is serious legal question
whether the secretary of the interior could
delegate powers which congress had DIS
tinctly and in terms conferred upon him to
use in other branches of the government.
The question, he says is not one OF the eX-
animation of clerks, but one of far greater
import, namely. the methods Of appointing
those clerks. AS the law now stands, and
according to Senator Hale as it was in.
tended to stand the appointment OF
all the employees of the bureau is vested in
the secretary of the interior and the super
intendent of the census, the latter recon-
mending and the former approving. Should
the civil service commission carry its point,
the method of the appointments would be alb.
solutely changed. This Is the legal aspect OF
the case. The other question, Mr.. Porter
says, is that OF temporary employment. The
maximum number of clerks employed in the
Tenth census was in March, 1884, 10, 5,000 In
March. 1889, 1,206 had been DIS
charged. About two thousand viii

tendent Porter contends that 1t would be
outrageous to allure applicants here from
Maine and California and leave them
