A BooRIsH OFFICIAL.
Attorney General Olney. although sait
to be II good lawyer, has none of the tacl
in dealing with politicians which is $
necessary for a member of the Cabinet t
have If he wishes to escape becoming un-
popular. The most influential Democrat,
Senator or Representative is treated wit
the coolest and most Indifferent courtesy
il he calls on Mr.. Oluey witlout an en-
dorsement, oral or written, from SOMEBODY
fortunate enough to enjoy the priceless
boon OF his acquaintance. Natural
enough the Democrats do not like thi
sort OF treatment. Within the memory
of many men now in public life there wa
another Attorney General from Massa-
Hoar, who was in General
Grants Cabinet-who had Mr.. Olney',
knack Of offending his political callers i,
not treating them as icy thought them
selves entitled to be treated, and the resul
might be pro itably stldiel by Mr.. Olney

THE PRESS MUELLER.
AS press mueller Postmaster General
Bissell is not a shining success. His order
against making public the changes in
fourth class postmasters was issued in the
morning and suspended in the afternoon
Reason: unanimous kick, from Demo-
Gratis as we'll as from Republicans. He
has another scheme, however by which he
hopes to prevent the bad character OF
some OF the applicants for appointment
as fourth class postmasters becoming
public until after their appointment. HC
requires every Senator and Representative,
who endorses candidate to promise tina
neither the name OF TIER candidate nor OF
any other or others there may be shall b.
made public before the appointment. Thc
