"Do you take any stock in the stories that
Blaine is at odds with the President?"
ssNot Bit" said the Senator. ut is like
ly that the cabinet is not unanimous on all
questions that come up; 1t would be i'm
possible to get together that number of
prominent men who would make up a per-
feetly happy family, but that there is any
serious difficulty, or that Blaine ever had
any thought of resigning, / know to be false,
or was up to the time left home, at any
rate. Mr.. Blaine is very popular in New
York. believe his course in the Samoan
matter is generally applauded."
what Is going to be the political future Of
Cleveland?"
"He is counting on being the Democratic
candidate for President at the next Presi-
Dental election. There will be war between
him and Mr.. Hill. Mr. Hill is the better pol
itician, has had the most experience and is
the better manager. He will get the support
of the politicians, Mr.. Cleveland will get the
support of the so-called better element Of the
Democratic party and of the Mugwumps.
Hill thinks he can defeat Cleveland, and
such fight may develop before the contest
that neither will get it"

Mr.. RIalne's Health.

[Despatch to the Boston Travellerl
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The report that
Mr.. Blaine's health was in such precarious
condition that he never could hope to resume
active life again was started here by ply
sician who was very positive that the pre-
mler was almost at deaths door. The truth
OF the matter is that Mr.. Blaine has had the
same pallid, carew0rn look for the last ten
years. 1t is now neither more nor less
marked His departure from Washington is
owing to the fact that he is unable to with
stand the heat of the capital, and is not due
toany physical or mental break down. During
his absence he will do nothing in the line of
appointments unless some extraordinary con-
tlngency should arise, so the numerous gen.
tlemen who expect TO spend the remainder
OF the summer abroad, at the expense of the
government, will be bitterly disappointed. 1t
ls, perhaps, needless to add that Secretary
Blaine's decision in this respect meets with
the entire and hearty approval of the Presi-
dent.

tanning whether any such re-ratings were

WANAMAKER EXPLAINS.
Why There Arc So Many Postoffice
Changes.


NEW York, June 25.-The Mail and Ex-
press tonight prints an interview with Post
master General Wannamaker. The follow
ing is report of it:
''Why are removals made so rapidlyw
They are not made rapidly. The daily
changes going on in a city of 10000 inhab-
itants are many and if our postmasters
were all put together in q city they would
make city of that size. There would be
deaths and resignations, necessary removals
and eXpirations of terms that would natur-
allv require many new appointments every
week.
"But there is great deal of criticism be-
cause of the removals."
"YeS, it always has been so, and always
will be so, until it becomes the custom of the
government to publish the actual reasons for
these changes. In many instances they are
upon inspectors reports, which, If published,
would destroy the future man and leave u
shadow upon his family. There has often
been much criticism, simply because politics
were thought to be involved, when the sole
cause of removal had been drunkenness
neglect of duty and clearly proved untitness
TO hold the important Office of postmaster. To
allow postmaster to serve out his. term who
does not appear at his Office more than
once in several weeks, or who sits at his bus
mess several squares away and manages the
postoffice with women and boys, has no merit
in 1t to win the approval OF any community
1t would seem to be for the good of the coun-
try If these people would resign itstcad of
waiting to have complaints lodged against
them, and them be removed by the depart.
ment. Tho people who draw pay from the
government ought to be compelled to give
faithful service, or resign, and II they do
neitehr, the department will recommend their
removal no matter how much criticism and
misapprehensions Of fact may be made"
