Its Height-Every Democrat
Must Walk the Plank.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.j
WASHINGTON, April Eff the Presi-
dent is moving slowly in making appoint
ments the same cannot be said of at least one
of the departments. In the palmiest days OF
the spoils system never was there more
prompt and sweeping policyo of removal than
is now going on under the management OF
Postmaster General Wanamaker, though
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson gets
ments of fourth-elass postmasters for the two
weeks ending April 6'was upward Of l, 400.
This week about 300 more will be added to
the long list, making about 2, 200 within the
short space of three weeks. Nearly all OF
these are removals. designations are very
rare, but they are promptly and invariably
accepted when they come.
At tins rate all but about 5000 OF the
5000 fourth-class postmasters of the United
States will be appointed before the explra-
ton of the first year of the administration,
which rate of speed President Cleveland
now probably wishes he had emulated.
During the four years of his incumbency,
Mr.. Cleveland's Postmaster General only
succeeded in .displacing about the same
number which will be relieved by the Re
publican administration the first year Of its
term, for at the close of his administration
he had still remaining in Office upward OF
IL, 900 Republican postmasters.
No time is wasted waiting for charges, or
investigating them where they are made.
The simpler plan is to remove summarily
the moment it is known that a satisfactory
person has made application for an Office.
Frequently county will be swept almost
clean of Democratic postmasters in single
day, as Clarion county was yesterday. The
pace seems to be growing rather than di-
minishing, and it is probable that the first
year of the administration will see nearly
every postofice of the country filed by a
Republican. The appointments of to-day
numbered upward Of hundred.
The only other department which appears
to be showing any disposition to compete
with the postofice is the Interior. Here,
especially in the Pension Office, the removals
have been rapid, and Commissioner Tanner
declares that he will not rest till he has
fred out every able-bodied Democrat, es-
pecially those who were not soldiers or who
were in the Confederate army. While
Secretary Noble is not so radical in his
declarations, he evidently smiles encour-
sgingly upon the enthusiasm of the Cor
poral, as Mr.. Wanamaker does upon the
energetic, not to say merciless, Mr.. Clark

ST. JOSEPH'S LOSS.
The Main Exposition Hall Gone
Fire Rapidly Sweeps Through th'
Great Structure.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Sept. 15.-St'
Joseph's New Era exposition was
destroyed by fire tonight, and over
one quarter of a million dollars is
now represented by a mass of smoul-
dering ruins and a heap of ashes
while Capt. Foster, connected with
the cereal department, is thou ght to
have lost his life.
At 1880 tonight, just as the
evenings entertainment in the am
pitheater had closed, and while yet
5000 people were in the buildings
and scattered throughout the
grounds, smoke was discovered is
suing from the art hall and before
it could be realized the entire col.
lection of building Immediately ad-
lacent to the main hall was in flames.
From the time the first spark was
seen until the fire had worked its
will, the local FIRE department and
that of the city, were powerless to
retard its progress.
Constructed of the most infam-
mable material and filled with exhib-
ITS equally susceptible to fire, art
nall and main hall burned like tin
der.
The origin of the flames is sup
posed to have been defective elec.
nac wire connecting art hall with
the main building.
For over an hour the flames were
!. fought, but efforts proving futile to
save the two principal buildings
work was directed to prevent them
nom spreading.
