Hunting a PostoffIce. Also.

Four officeseekers from Lawrence
county, Ohio, came in yesterday morn
ing. AS matter of course they wanted
to see Senator Brice. He told them to
call in the evening, and gave Them his
address at "the Corcoran House"
They dined that afternoon, and about
dusk hailed a cabby.
"Take u.s." said the leader, "to the
Corcoran House"
The Senator was declared not in by
the clerk.
"Take US" was the next ommand,
"to the Corcoran. That's what we
told you at first"
Some time was spent in endeavor-
ing to effect an. entrance to the Art
Gallery. After four Ohio feet, swung
by four Ohio lusty legs, had been
slammed against the door several
times, a council of war was held, and
the cabman, by virtue of his superior
knowledge of the city, was taken in on
suferance.
"Who do you want to see?" he
asked.
"Brice."
"Brice? Brice? Inever drove him

A highly esteemed newspaper pub
lished at Chattanooga gives out the
information that Mr.. Cleyeland's So
cial nature has developed wonderfully
since his previous term. Instead Of
being gruff and stiff, as he was four

Mr.. Bland. "When we made Mr..
Cleyeland's acquaintance at the be-
ginning Of his first term he was a
bachelor It takes married life to
smooth the rough edges and soften a

That was very handsomely said, con.
sidering that Mr., Bland is himself a
married man, aud We trust that no

me Axe and The Railway Mai
Clerke.

Our attention is called to the case
Of the Republican railway clerks,
whose tenure Of Office is sheltered by
the so.called civil service rules. Have
they anything to fear? Ought their
heads to fall under the axe that once
was Adlai's?
If we are not mistaken, the protec-
ton OF the civil service rules was ex-
tended to this branch Of the postal
service during Mr.. Cleveland's former
administration. At the beginning Of
Gen. Harrison's term, when the axe
was in Brother Clarkson's hands, the
executive order in reference TO these
railway clerks was suspended between
March 4 and May 1, 1889, and about
1000 Democratic clerks with fine
records were removed, and their places
were ruthlessly filled with Republi-
cans.
That was all right. The present adj
ministration has a precedent for sus-
pending again the operation of the
civil service rules long enough to en-
able the handsome and energetic
Maxwell, our future vice-president, to
undo the work of Clarkson. 1t is a
poor rule that doesn't work both ways.
Theentire railway mail service in
cludes nearly six thousand persons
with salaries averaging pretty well up
to $1,000 or, let us say, S5,0000o0 a
year for this department. OF public USE
fulness. At least majority of the
5000 should be Democrats under q
Democratic administration. No con
sideration of delicacy, no reverence fol
obsolete principles of civil service re
form should prevent the Hon. Grover
Cleveland, and his active, energetic
and well-selecteG axeman, from fall
ing upon this Clarkson contingent o
interlopers and shifting them will
blade and helve.
We may be wrong about the exac
figures. No matter; the principle j
as right and as plain as an ancien
