CIeveIand's Cuteness.

President Cleveland is kept pretty
busy these days standing off" the i'm
patient office seeker. He has evidently
resolved to pursue his old policy Of con-
spicuous delay in the case of promi-
nent examples, which will create the
impression that he is devoted heart
and soul to the idea of reforming the
civil service But while he keeps the
applicants for the good sized positions
dangling on the ragged edge OF expec-
tation and despair his new postmaster
general viii industriously pursue the
work of chopping off heads, and his
fellow cabinet officers will do likewise.
So the departments viii all be cleaned
out and a new set of men put in place,
and the fellows who theorize about
civil service reform will fail to note
the fact because their attention has
been distracted by Mr. Cleveland's
mastery policy Of keeping all eyes
turned upon few disputed missions
