THE PRESIDENTS NEGLECTED DUTY
Three weeks have passed since the insu-
Duration of General Harrison, and the
time of the administration has been al
most exclusively devoted TO the filling OF
offices and the consideration of applica-
tjons for office Nevertheless, nothing !
has yet been done toward filling the
places which should have first received !
the consideration of the President Ger
tainly the first after the Cabinet appoint /
ments.

continues 10 be paralyZed by the eX- |
jstence of two vacancies and the absence !
of any exponent of the views of the Ad- /
minisiraiion. Nor j. there any Demo I
cratic commissioner, as required by law. |
The entire establishment is in the hands /
of Republican of the Cabot Lodge |
stripe. a survival of the mugwumpian /
era of Republican false pretenses. Presi- |
dent Cleveland made an eminently NJ /
nomination for the Democratic vacancy, /
but the Republican Senate indecently /
refused 10 consider IT, in order that 10 |
the Republican President might fall the /

THE SILVER QUEsTIoN.-The laws |
provide for the coinage OF not less lhan /

administrations has been TO coin the |
smaller rather than the larger amount, but !
there is every reason TO believe that the /
sentiment of the country at large favors |

No CHANGE or FINANCIAL Policy
The new Administration has been in /
power three weeks. and there Is not The /
Slightest perceptible sign OF change in |
