Washington Notes.

uc newspaper loil'iHCtlo VI lHc ma
tional capital in describing the result
of the battle royal'' between Mr..
Cleveland and the Democratic senators,
a battle which has not began and is not
likely to begin, this week started on an
other tack with the first chapter of a
new and exciting romance entitled
"Gissensions in the cabinet" which will
run as a serial in Republican and SEN
sational newspapers as long as the
invention of the authors holds out, or
shall have been evolved from their think
tanks. This first chapter opens with a
spirited description of the intention Of
Secretaries Carlisle and Gresham to re-
sign, which is written with all the skill
which has characterized all the numer-
GUS Intentions of Mr.. Cleveland -
written by the same authors, and it is
every bit as true. Neither Secretary
Carlisle nor Secretary Gresham are
dissatisfied, or have any intention of
retiring from the cabinet. On tEe
contrary they are, in common with
their colleagues of the cabinet, in per-
feet harmony with President Cleveland
in his determination TO give the coun-
try the best and most successful ad-
ministration it has had since the war,
and. what is more important, indications
of success are becoming more plentiful
every day. If the secretaries named,
or any of their colleagues. were con
tempigting resigning, You may be sure
that tie Republican romancers would
be the last men in Washington to
be taken into their confidence. Ananiis
was a mere novice in the art of prcvari-
cation when compared with the cor
respondents of Republican newspapers
who try to earn their salaries by writ
ing what their managing editors
order, instead OF the facts about Wash
inGton news.
No president ever appointed so many
men under the age of 20 TO responsible
positions as Mr.. Cleveland has,
and his reason is apparent lie knows
that the labor of carrying out his plans
for reform and puriicatiou Of all
branches Of the public service will be
enormous and that only men in the
prime and vigor Of life can stand it
without breaking down.
