FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. :, 1892.

It Is NOW officially announced that
the President secs no improperly IN
the members of his Cabinet appearing
before the public in a temperate dis
cussion of political topics in vlndlcation
of the administration. 1t is also an
nounced that Secretary Foster Will
make political speeches in Ohio, Kan
sas and Missouri during the present
campaign, and that Comptroller Mat
thews has actually abandoned his office
and will be absent on political work un-
til after the election. But, all the same,
the President processes to be great
advocate of the civil service law, and
Mr.. Roosevelt, chairman OF the civil
service mmission, praises him for the
efficiency with which he is executing
that law. The strangest thing about
the civil service commission is that a
democratic [. S. House of Representa-
tives should appropriate money for the
support of that arrant and Srotcsque
humbuG.

nomination was surprise to many per-
sons, for it was believed that there was
an understanding between Mr.. Turner

Mr.. Agnew was doubtless simply to
give him control of affairs in this dis
trict in the event ofrepublican success.

Meredith, are all well pleased that Mr..
Agnew is not to be q candidate.-lir-
