Capital Gossip.
Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-In various
sections of the country the original
Cleveland men" are reported to be very
much dissatisfied over some of the APP
pointmentS made by the president. and
they are INDUCING in hysterical criti-
clsms that 90 far toward convincing the
public that Mr.. Cleveland comes very
near knowing what he is doing when he
selects men for the government service.
As predicted in the GLOBE imme-
diate after the inauguration, President
Cleveland is not devOting himself 10
the one object of rewarding The men
WHO were for him at Chicago, although
there is no doubt that he cheriSheS 4
warm regard Tor them, but he Is looking
out Tor the welfare Of the great party to
which he owes allegiance, and which
has done so much Tor him.
First of all, in selecting men TO FL! the
various government positions ut home
and abroad the president satisfies hlm-
self rs to the qualifications of the can
dictate. His services 10 the parry and
Endorsements come next. and last OF ali
comes the matter which the
nOriginei Cleveland Mems
would fain have first considered. y
capable, honest man, who is a Demo
crat, but who supported Gov. Hor
ace Boies. Senator David B.
Hill or Arthur P. German for
the nomination a year ago. stands
4 much better show than the eX-federal
official who shrieled his devotion to the
cause of the president from the mount
ain-t0ps. That this is SO has been dem
onstrated by the appointments uE4iOv.
Gray to the Mexican mission, of eX-
Senator Eustis to France, as well as
several minor plumS that were awarded
to Indiana men who, q year ago, were
for either Hill or Gray.
While this policy will not meet the
views and desires Of a large class of
active politicians who expected to have
entire control of patronage in their
ence Of opinion regarding its wis
dom from a party standpoint. To
carry through the great reform
measures demanded by the country
ana promised by the Democratic party
the president feels that he Will need
the support OF all elements of the
Democracy, and the would-Oe faction
lists who would bar tie ablest men in
the land because of an honest differ
ence of opinion as 10 a matter Of party
policy will be relegated to the rear.
Duluth Indian School.
Mai. NJ. Il. Baldwin. OF the Sixth dis
.fict. is still busily engaged in watching
the interests of his district in and
around the different departments, and
is probably the best posted man in
Northern Minnesota on the various III
terests of that section. At the next
session Of congress he has hopes
OF securing the establishment OF
an Indian school at Duluth,
and is preparing statement
OF the reasons why the government, in
his opinion. should establish such an
institution at the Zenith City. The last
Indian commissioner favored this pro-
iect on the ground of economy and first
called the attention of the Duluth mem-
bers to the matter. As matter of
TACT. there are more Indian
reservations in the Sixth dis
trict OF Minnesota than in
any other district in the Union. The
number Of Indians Is not so large, but
they are scattered over such large area
that a school at a central and accessible
point like Duluth is necessity. In
Speaking of this matter Maj. Baldwin
said:
The Major Is Hopeful.
Il am hopeful that the Indian depart
ment will recommend the establishment
OF an Indian school at Duluth, and, If
this is not done it Will not be my fault,
as / propose 10 keep pushing the matter
until we obtain what we want"
But the Sixth district member IS not
combining his attention to one END of MS
district by any means, and al
the commencement OF the next
session he will introduce a bill
for a handsome public building al
ST. Cloud. That such a building Is
needed at that place to accommodate
the pOstOffice and land Offices, the re-
ports at he interior and pOStOffice de-
partmentS afford ample evidence, and
with the acquaintance MaJ. Baldwin
already possesses with tie members OF
the Fifty-Ihird congress there IS little
doubt that success Will reward his
efforts. The condition of the govern
ment finances will prevent the passage
OF very many public building bills fol
the next few years, but II any &c
through, the 81. Cloud bill Will bt
among the number.

other evening, the history of which read,
like a romance. As many know, Maj
Baldwin has a war record which Is filled
with gallant deeds. He enlisted in the

South Carolina. After remaining there
some time they effected their escape
and for nine days wandered through
