WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. %, 1888

TIE ADMINISTRATION wants the pre-
sent session of Congress to adjourn as
soon as the Senate shall concur with
the House in passing the bill to repeal
The silver purchasing act. But there
are many democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives, who, judging from the
way they talk, will strenuously oppose
any such action, and who will insist
upon going on with the business before
Congress, and who say it will be a gross
deception upon the people if nothing
be even attempted in the way OF re-
lieving them of the taxes on their nee
essaries. and of getting the famous
superyisor of elections, Mr.. Davenport,
out of office, until the regular session.
Those congressman known as out and
out administration men, are reported as
saving it will be advisable for the ses-
sion to adjourn US soon as the silver
question shall be disposed of by the
Senate and as Mr.. Cleveland is Presl-
dent and will be for three and hall
wears longer, and as he wants Congress
to adjourn. it will, in all probability, dc
50, and, in the meantime, the tax-pii-
LACED people can whistle for relief.

The Action of Donham Upheld by the
Postoffice Department.
BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
1920 NEW YoRK-AvB., n. W.,
WASHINCTON D. q Nav

The action of the new postmaster of
Terre Haute-Donham- no doubt be
sustained by the department. The mo-
ment he exhibited his commission to the
retiring postmaster it was the duty of the
latter TO turn the office over to his sue
cessor. He could have turned it over Fri
dav night Just as we'll as Saturday night.
II Greiner conducted his Office in comph.
ance with the law. then he was ready to
turn it over at any time.
When Greiner refused 10 transfer the
office to Donham when the latter ex-
hibited his commission, he violated the
postal laws, and every employee that re-
fused to obey the orders of Donham ia
guilty of characterization and subject to
dismissal If GreIner had the power to re-
tain the office tweDty-four hours after
Donham demanded possession, armed
with a commission from the president,
then he had right to retain il week.
4 presidents commission is a notice to
all HON it may concern that Donham is
postmaster of Terre Haute, and when
Greiner refused to give him the Office he
placed himself in contempt of the execu-
tive of the nation. The object of Grein err 8
action is we'll understood here 1t was q
move 10 perpetuate a lot of republican
workers in Office by the application of
snap civil service rule without compelling
these republican heelers to undergo a
civil service examination.

Greiner. is a rank republican from Ten

cessor, Frank Jones, returns from Chi
csgo. In the absence of Postmaster Gen.

there is TO it.
