The Impudent Office Seekers.

1t was announced some days ago
by telegraph from Washington that
"the politicians remaining" there
were unable to understand "the
delay in taking up at the State De-
partment the matter of replacing
Democratic Consuls with the large
number of Republican aspirants for
these places" 1t was added that a
number Of candidates from a certain
state who had supposed that they
were "fxed" had relapsed into a
state of entire uncertainty, and
were even becoming discouraged"
This was regarded as a grievance,
for which complaint was made Of
the President. These hungry Office
seekers called him "slow," and i'm
piled that he was neglecting his
public duties.
The impotence of oflice-seeking
and oflice-seeking methods in this
country is becoming national
nuisance ard disgrace. Whether it
is worse in one party than in another
may be an open question. 1t is so
bad in each that it could hardly be
worse. 1t is an intolerable annoy
ance to the officer who makes official
appointments. 1t is an equal annoy
ance and burden to those who have
influence, and who control or can
affect ppointments. 1t is a tribula-
ton to men of character and respec-
liability who are supposed to be
friends of those who control APP
pointments, and to those who are
supposed to be their friends friends,
as far as political business and so
cial relations can be traced.
1t is an absurdity and a shame
that "the politicians still there" at
Washington, are enabled to send out
their complaints that the patronage
of the government is not beiug dis
tributed fast enough to suit them
that the hog-trough Is not filled for
them, or that they are not given
access to it, on their own mere i'm,
pertinent demands. "The politicians
remaining there" are the greedy,
immodest, audaciOus otfice-seekers,
or oflice.brokers, who can not or
will not take the hint to the effect
that the President is not ready, Just
ye,, to attend to their eases, even if
it shall appear that they have any
cases. 1t is not proposed by Presl-
dent Harrison that the wheels of the
Government shall stop till Tom,
Dick and Harry get the offices for
which they have slated themselves.
And the President is right In fact,
he has been far too polite and
lenient. The people have little
knowledge, less care and no sympa-
thy as to the disposition of the
offices, or as TO who shall get them
or not get them, if only honest and
capable men are appointed. It's an
egregious mistake to suppose that
the country is hanging breathless ON
the appointment of postmaster at
Smiths -Four Corners, or a Consul
to Lobos Island. If the otice-seek.
ers would retire and give the Gov.
eminent a chance TO continue its
operations uuin "eded they would
render the country the best service
in their power Chicago Journal
