THE suns Washington special says Cleyeiand's experience with office seekers has convinced him that the present method Of appointment to office through political influence has become a scandal, and he is revolving in his mind Q scheme to do away with 1t entirely by complete reorganiza- tion of the system, and that he will probably recommend to congress the framing of law for 8 commission on appointments as far removed from political influence as the supreme court. The doubtful part of the dis patch is that Cleveland believes the supreme court removed "lar from po- litical influence"

THEIRS are sUnIt men who can not are to be pitied. There is a smaller circle of humanity that can not stand a political reverse. The members of this class are lsmentable failures in every walk of life. Instead of buckling down to make an honest livelihood they spend their tune on the street corners or beer kegs coniuring up schemes to get even with their sue cessful rivals. Juries are packed and worked to besmirch the characters of their adversaTies. Men whose records are as crooked as a serpert's trail are always at the head of these enter prises and they seek, and in many cases successfully, in poisoning the minds of their innocent associates with the plausibility ot their honesty oi purpose. You will always find the leaders Tn these bunco reform Elove- ments are out of job, or if they have one are not able to manage their own affairs successfully. It IS an cxenplI fication of the old adage, Satan finds some evil still for idle hands to do." These lines are suggested by state of affairs existing in Grant county, New Mexico, where there was q change of officers on the first day of ast January.
