Tn NeW York Tribune Says ts> Sir
loau Carlisle. tho son OF Secretary Car
. Lele and the chief clor., of The treasury
dcrartuuut has iuauglratcd somothinr
. Ike Co reign of terror in She treasury c"-
partment 7ho same paper says that
there prevails feeling Of uncertainty iu
the department as TO whether Mr. Car
Isle is in authority in that department
or whether his son Logan holds the
reius
10 can DE stated with a satisfactory de-
gree Of certainty that no policy in the
treasury department is being enforced
that has not the approval of the secre-
tary He found the principal offices oc-
cupied by republicans, many of whom had
been in Office for many years. Most of
them had drawn their support from the
government so long that they had reached
the conclusion that the treasury could
not get along without them They are
violent partisans and were particularly
active in campaign work during the last
presidential campaign.
Nh. Carlisle has determined to get rid
Of them, and to put in their places
men who will render the government bet
ter service. And he is making war on
the drones also, without regard to their
politics Many will have to find employ
ment elsewhere before the end of the sum
mer, and the treasury department will be
very much better without them.
Naturally, the republican papers are
making venomous attacks upon Secretary
Carlisle. They charge him with disre-
garding the spirit of the civil service law
and of trying to use the treasury depart
ment TO have himself nominated for Presi-
dent by his party in 1896. Mr.. Carlisle,
however, pays no attention to such at
tacks. He understands the motive that
prompts them, and, hence, they do not
give him great deal of annoyance.
1t is not improbable that Secretary Car
Isle will be thought of favorably for the
presidential nomination of his party in
1896, but he is not now thinking about,
nor working for the nomination. He is
simply trying to do his duty to the coun-
try. The treasury department needs puri-
flying, and he is purifying it. When he
gets through with that work the depart
ment will be in better working condition
than it has been for many years. The re-
publican papers may attack him as Bit
terly and malicionsly as they please, but
they will not succeed in lettering him
from doing what, in his opinion, he ought
to do to advance the best interest of the
country. They will get tired of attacking
him after while and will let him alone.
