HTGGLING.

The President is higgling over a
constitutional question as to the az
pointment of Senator Faulkner Chief
Judge of the District of Columbia.
These little ifs and ands oftentimes
cover a multitude of disinclinatior.
Truth is, Senator Faulkner's term
expired and he was reelected. That
is one way out Of the objection. An
other is, the Senator can resign and
be appointed after his resignation,
which would make all right and cure
all objections. The President evil
IDENTIFY has some other person in view
and is hiding himself behind very
thin screens. Play fair, Mr.. Cleve-
land, with the men ofyour own ilk,

We note in exchanges, comments
on the reduction of employees in this
and that and the other department
of government, with a big puff for
the economy of the new and tempo
rary boss. Such twaddle occurs with
every administration without regard
to politics, especially since the I'M
civil service reform, but it is a non
sensical farce. The truth is, it is one
of the methods of getting one fellow
out aud the other fellow in. We be-
lieve in cutting squarely, just as
Senator Faulkner said. Buxton was
removed because he was Republi-
can. If we we're a Clevelandite we
would put in Democrats and would
not even have a Gresham around as
our premier, to show Democrats how
somersaults are appreciated.
