An Able-hodlsd Partisan.

Albany Journal: First Assistant Post
master General John S. Clarkson will retire
OH June l and carry home with him to Des
MOines, Iowa, the congratulations and best
wishes of the great mass of Republicans.
Mr.. ClarksOn is an able bodied Republic
can partisan without trace of that spirit
of Mugwumpery which impairs the popular
ity and usefulness of so many public men.
He has maintained that the people of the
United States voted change of administra-
ton in November, 1888; and he has pro-
ceeded to enforce that decision SO far as the
POstoflice Department is concerned. AS the
result of investigation, consultation and
and tireless industry he has removed some
10000 Democratic postmasters and appoints
ed a like number of Republicans to their
positions. In SO dong he has received the
support and commentator of Republicans
generally, while Democrats, as a rule. Ell
terrain a silent admiration for the man.
That he has been denounced most bitterly
by the Mugwumps and others who believe
in official tenure during good behavior,
without reference to political consideration,
has in n0wiSe deferred him.
Mr. ClarkSOn's career in the POstOffice
Department discredits the argument al
vanced by the so-called reformers of our
civil service that political changes entail an
amount of importantly" that is not only
distasteful to the government official who
who has favOrs to distribute, but also pre-
vents his proper attention to business. No
other man, probably no half-dozen men at
Washington has received or listened to SO
many applications for office and made so
many changes as Mr.. Clarks0n during the
past thirteen months. While it may not
have enhanced his personal comfort" yet
he conceived it a duty and pleasure, as a
Republican, to carry out the will of the
party. He has never complained of ''im-
portunity," and he has found time to tran
sact the routine business of his department
as well as to change the personnel of the
postmasters. And under Mr. Clarkson's
management the postal service has shown
Improvement rather than deterioration.
Mr.. Clarksons success has been due to
his combination Of patience, industry, and
executive ability. We regret his proposed
retirement and wish hirz the best of success.

On the 10th 0f.thIs month Squire South

took Jas "A. Valentine into her confidence,
together with her son Frank and they sue
ceeded most admirably. Mr.. Valentine
saw the Squire down town and told him he
expected to have little legal business for
him to attend to but had got to go out to his
farm first. The accommodating j. u amused
himself about town until Mr.. Valentine re-
turned. 1t was then quite late and Mr.. V.
had to go To the train. then he had to 20 to
the postoilice to get his mail, and about $3.50
p ID. the two started for home. On the
way Mr. Valentine never said word about
the business and the squire waited patiently
until Mr. V. turned Off for his home. The
squire pulled his hat down a notch farther
and made bee line for his own home. AS
he opened the door he saw the table spread
with viands enough for regiment and
brand new whip and a host of friends await
ing him. The squire stood aghast for mo-
ment and then remarked, 'What fool
have becn see through it all now" Mary

shufiled along the sidewalks, had an ex-
tremely long nose and wore steel spectacles

loved a controversy and it was rash
