THE NEW YORK PoSToFFICE.


TUE removal OF Mr.. Pearson from the
Office of Postmaster OF New York leaves
no doubt OF President IIarrison's partisan
bias and disposition. Even n mugwump
Republican must give way before the
presence Of his fellow partisans, hungry
for office. Mr.. Pearson, though Repub-
lican, was continued in Office by President
Cleveland in Difference to the general de-
mand OF the business men Of New York,
who were able TO appreciate his services
In the management Of n postollicc OF which
The Ne,O York Ewning Post declares that II
has nothing 10 learn in administration
from the best ordered postoilices Of
Europe Mr.. Pearson Is man who Is
careful, prudent and studious, and in his
care Of great trust which, more than any
other branch Of the Government service,
affects the general interests, both private
and public, was eminently successful. He
brought the leadingpostolllce of the Union
TO the highest attainablc condition Of
efficiency, and in any other country would
have been treasured and continued as an
intelligent and faithful officer But he has
been forced to give way beior the clamor
OF party and surrender the Office for which
he was particularly well adapted by ex.
pcrienco and knowledge. He has been
compelled to give up TO Mr. Cornelius Van
Colt, a mere ward politician, TO whom a
postoilico Is part OF the spells and not a
public trust. Mr.. Van Cott has been, IN,
Pod tells us, an active politician and a
hard worker. lie is ono Of the leaders Of
the Republican machine and is well known
as one Of the "Boys." Although nomi-
nally In tho insurance business, he has
never had much business OF late years,
except in politics. lie is spoken Of by
men OF both parties as a genial, kind.
hearted man and a good political worker.
The reasons generally given for his roceiv'
ing the Office arc principally his good
nature and the propriety Of reward foI
his party services.

THE SPORTING WORLD.
A BAD DAY FOR FAvoRITEs AT NEW
ORLEANS.
The Folly of Playing Two Year Old
Against the Field-More Fast Work at
Montgomery Park-The Matinee Pro-
gram.

The work OF preparing horses for the
spring meeting is progressing favorably at
Montgomery Park, and all of the horses con
tinue to show improvement. The best per-
formances noted yesterday were Cotillion
and Sherwood, one mile in 1:47h, Irish Pat
and J. b. Clay, one mile In 1:4S, Vivian and
Cashier one mile in 1:4o. The Indian
Princess and Lulu b were sent u In 49,.
Other horses were not pushed much, having
taken strong work the day before.
The program for next Saturdays matt
nee will be found in our advertising columns.
1t embraces half mile race for two years
Odds for apurse of S1250O, a three-quarter
dash for all ages for purse of $4,000, and a
mile dash for all ages for purse of $4,000.
The conditions are fully stated In the adver-
tised program.
These three events are sure 10 draw out O
numerous array Of starters and provide good
sport for the public The admission to the
grand stand Is but so cents.
The folly OF betting on fayorites In short
dashes limited 10 practically untricd two
| year Odds was never more forcibiy Illus
| tratcd than ut New Orleans yesterday. The
| first race was q three-eighths OF mile dash
| for two year olds, with seven starters. The
betting was to 1 Hopeful, 10 TO / Lady
Blackburn, 10 TO Utah, 3 to Armour and
Watterson coupled, 3 to 1 Wrestler and to
| 8 0usrad. and IN the auction pools Ousrad
was made favorite against the field on the
strength Of his win Saturday over the same
course, making three-cights in 03TH and
/ beating Millie Williams and four others. II
was surprising 10 see old sports plunge on
Ousrnd at 3 TO o, forgetting that two year
old race at that distance Is mere lottery
and likely 10 fall to the horse that gets of
first. In this case Hopeful, the o TO shot
won. The same fool betting characterized
the Hurstbourne stakes for two year Odds
half mile. The betting was 8 to / Fairy
Queen, 10 TO 1 Miss Gibson, even money

lesson may be valuable TO local nce-goer
during the approaching meeting at Mont

protection from the wrath in store for them
over various and sundry shortcomings.
Naturally the APPEALS political reporter
sought out the Hon. Ralph Davis to extort
from him, il possible, a few stray sentences
concerning that police and iremens salary
bill, which has raised so much Cain in Mem
phis since Thursday last The youthful
Representative was found, and the moment

But there were other members of the dele

silent and from one OF them the explana-
ton advanced at the capital was secured.
II appears that, to begin with, there are
three bills, the passage Of which must be
taken together, with close attention to sru
order of their passage. These are the budget,
the salary bill and the Clapp bill, changing
some OF the organic laws of the district.
These bills passed just rs they have been
given, the salary bill being the ham or
cheese in the sandwich. In that bill there
was clause providing that ''all laws or
parts OF laws In conflict with this be, aud
| the same are hereby repealed" Mr..
Davis claims that II the budget con-
fiicts, 1t shares the same fate -as any other,
but he insists that il does not He also says
that his bill provides for the supplying OF
any deficiencies which may be found in these
| two funds at the years close from the priv.
ilege tax fund, and that the Clapp amending
bill makes the same provision. Then he
| gets down to figures, using the number OF
men on each department as learned from the
