A great many occupants of govern
ment offices, more particularly small
postofices throughout the country.
are now busy trying to make their
title clear with the next administra-
tions, by conciliating Republicans.
One of the most amusing things of
the whole affair is their intense eager
ness to become Every high priests"
of independence in politics. All at
once they don't believe in partisan
politics "the best men should be re-.
tanned, "politics should not govern
small Offices, etc.," when it is noto-
rious all the time that they were
ready to move heaven and earth to
secure Cleveland's election. Nothing
that could be said or done derogatory
to Harrison or the Republican party
was unsaid or undone. Many of
them blossomed out into the full
flower of busy workers for Cleveland.
In Maryland in general. and Garrett
county in particular, every small
postoffice in the hands of Democrats
was the very center of the most ''per-
nicious activity" as Cleveland terms
1t. Now for those same parties to
attempt to sail under new colors is
one of the strange things in strange
times. People estimate such people
generally at about what they are
worth, and the popular estimate is
about right.

Golf Firm for His RIGHT.


WHEELING. w. VA, Jan. Colt
is now more apparent than ever that
the result of the present contest for
the goYern0rship in this State will be
dual government for a brief space
at least, after March 4, and that the
Federal Administration will have to
be called upon to settle the difficulty.
The situation is a grave one and re-
suits from one of the most base and
unscrudulous schemes to defeat the
will of the people that has ever been
Matched in any State of the Union.
1t is briefly this :
No sooner had the Democrats been
defeated in the courts in their efforts
to prevent the delivery Of the returns
of Kanawha county to the Legisla-
ture. with which Golf has a majority
of the votes cast for governor in the
State, than the levolutionists began
to search the constitution for tech
nical pretext5 for Withholding dec
laration of the result when the vote
should come to be opened in the
presence of the two houses in joint
assembly. The Constitution requires
the Speaker of the House, in the
presence of two Houses sitting in
joint assembly to open and publish
the vote, after which the person hay
ing the highest vote is to be declared
elected governor. The scheme now
Matching at Charleston is to refuse to
declare the result on the pretext of
Jennings contest and thus make it
possible for Governor Wilson to hold
over after March 4 next and keep
the seat warm for Fleming until af-
ter he should haye been declared, as
soon as may be, by a partisan major
ity entitled to the place.
She revolutionists propose to find
in section third of article seventh, of
the constitution, pretense for their
proposed programme. This section
reads as follows:
"The returns of every election for
the above named Offices shall be seal
ed up and transmitted by the return
ing officer to the Secretary of State,
direct to the Speaker of the House of
Delegates. who shall, Immediately
after the organization of the House
and before proceeding to business,
open and publish the same in the
presence of a majority in each House
of the Legislature, which shall for
that purpose assemble in the hall of
the House Of Delegates. The person
having the highest number of votes
for said Offices shall be declared duly
elected thereto, but if two or more
have an equal and the highest num-
Der of votes for the same Office the
Legislature shall by joint vote choose
one of such persons for said Office"
Speaker Woods, as soon as he
opens and reads the returns, is to go
no further, on the pretext that it is
doubtful whether he is the proper
person to declare the result, notwith-
standing it is, and always has been
the practice so to do, and the joint
assembly is to be declared dissolved
and the State being without a goY-

and time again it has been demon
strated that society can get along
without the people at the White
House. The entertainments there
may be mean or lavish. AS they
are those of the head Of the nation,
they are not the proper objects of inn
itation. But it is different with men,
bers of the Administration. Cabinet
officers are in and of the social move
ment. They come and 60 and do
not abide here, but while they are in
the city they are part of its life, and,
if they are in society, they give to it
tone and color.
II can be truly said that the infiu-
ence OF the Administration has been
bad because it has made Washingto n
more expensive. even to the point of
extravaganza. The simple hospital
ity of the place has departed The
pleasant teas and receptions, where
people gathered for the purpose of
enjoying one another, are rarer than
they were. Tea and small trifies
of the confectioner have given place
to terrapin and champagne. The
government official, who lives on his
salary, regards with alarm propo.
sition to give an entertainment, be.
cause his neighbor, who is rich. and
who accepts the standard established
~ a member of the Cabinet, pro-
ffdes means of enjoyment that cost
what seems to the poorer man to be a
fortune. The lavish character of some
of the houses maintained by men,
bers of the Administration has slim
ulated the influx of wealthy people.
whose business in life is enjoyment.
The change that has come over the
spirit of the Capitol during the last
four years is startling to old residents
who 60 back to it for visit. Rents
are higher, provisions are dearer land
social life is a burden,
1t may be that all this would have
come in time by the natural evolu.
ton of life at a capital, but it has been
distinctly fastened by the layish ex-
penditure of money INDUCED in by
more than one connection of the adj.
ministration. On Tuesday night
there was a subscription ball in
Washington which cost those who
participated in it at least four times
as much az any affair of the kind
that took place at the capitol four
years ago. The dressing was more
elaborate, and the supper was snme-
thing that was never dreamed in the
older and simpler day. Besides all
this there is regrettable deteriora.
ton in taste, and an equally regret
table increase of gossip and scandal.
Champagne and not tea is the beyer-
age of the day, and terrapin instead
of sandwiches its food. Envy reigns
in bosomS where 1t was once I'M
known, and grumhling and com
planning disturb the social atnos-
phere.
49,
These are some of the reasons why
old Washingtonians will gladly say
goodbye to this Administration 1t
is probably too late to remedy the
evil that has been done. A taste for
extravaganza and dissipation is not
easily overcome. There is a partial
cure. however, that will probably be
applied through the disintegration
of society, and the establishment of
an agreeable set composed of people
who realize that cakes and ale are
not the best gifts in the world. "

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)

(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, January 81, 1889
Senator Blair seems to possess some
faculty that whenever brought to
bear upon fire-eating Senators from
the South al ways results in provOk-
ing those gentlemen into a state
little short of madness. For instance,
when Senator Morgan. of Alabama.
said that if it was in his power to ex-
pei every negro from that State and
keep them out he would do so. Mr..
Blair, by asking him if he thought it
would be best for the interests of the
white people in the South that the
negroes should emigrate in body,
threw the Albanian into a passion
which caused him to engage in some
rather bitter personalities toward the
New Hampshire Senator. The ques-
sSCn asked was certainly harmless
one, and if asked by any other Sena-
tor don't believe would have an
gered Mr.. Morgan as it did. Why it
is that the hot blooded Southerners
are always ready to quarrel with
Senator Blair has long been a puzzle
to me. He is essentially a man of
peace. and yet he says that if he re-
ceived a challenge to fight duel he
should feel it his duty to fight.
The Senate has passed the amend.
ment to the tariff bill allowing a
bounty of one cent per pound on all
sugar produced in this country. SEN
ator Quay was the only Republican
Senator that voted against the
amendment, and Senator Payne the
only Democrat that voted for it. Un-
less something now unforeseen shall
prevent, the bill will be passed by
the Senate tomorrow afternoon.

cate General of the Army, and rumor
saws Cleveland has promised him the
appointment, but there is consider
able doubt about his eligibility.

The Administration andWashing{on.

Washington is bidding farewell to
the Cleveland Administration with
out regret, 1t is fair to Mr., Cleve'
land, however, to say flat he is not
entirely responsible for all the ills
which have come upon the city dur
ing the four years that have passed
since his inauguration. 1t cannot be
charged against him, for instance,
that by his purchase of a house IN the
outskirts of the town he consciously
inspired the real estate speculation
which led to the destruction of beau
tiful natural scenery, and to eXtrayai
giant and needless street opening "
cannot be charged either that he is
responsible for the sWindling con.
tractors who have robbed the gov.
eminent in building the new aque.
duct. 1t is an unfortunate fact, how.
ever. that some of Mr.. Clevelands
appointments of district officers have
been bad that many of the men who
have had control of local affairs have
been suspected of wrong-doing for
their own pecuniary advantage and
that the President himself has not
been on friendly terms with the citi.
zens of the place. We can very well
sympathiZe with his Impotence with
local politicians, who. in Washing.
ton as elsewhere, are greedy, persist
ent. INSCRIPTIONS beggars.
We have nothing to say of the at
mosphere of the White House., So
ciety there has been limited and mar
row, without being limited or aristo,
cratic. In Mr.. Arthur's time the
White House was simply one more
agreeable resort for clever and pleas.
ant people. In Mr.. Cleveland's time
this has not been so. The White
House has been made attractive by
Mrs. Cleveland but. on the whole.
it has been provincial. 1t has pro-
duced only one effect on society-it
has driven away the best men and
women of the foreign legations. The
President has seemed to have no de-
sire for intimate intercourse with the
representatives of foreign govern.
ments. His relations with them
have been almost purely official and
formal. In at least one case this has
been unfortunate, although Wash.
ington does not care very much for
the diplomatic corps as body. Baron
de Strive. the Russian Minister, is a
man to have been courted. He rep.
resents power with which we
should be on friendly terms. The
support of Russia in our difficulties
with Great Britain concerning the
rights of our seal fisheries in Alaskan
waters would be of inestimable adj
vantage, fornot only is Russia our
grantof, but she has fisheries rights
in adjoining waters, and is interested
in the suppression of piracy. But
the Russian Minister found life in
Washington unbearable, and has now
enjoyed a prolonged leave of absence
for two years. He has simply dis
covered that he cannot be of service
to his government near a President
whose foreign policy is such as Mr..
Cleveland's.
The worst effect OF the administra-
tlon on life in Washington does not
come from the White House. Time
