blower for the vacancy. The senate
took 10 action. Meantime a special
session of congress ended, and the reg
uiar session began. Some senators
doubtless anticipated that if the senate
failed to confirm the nomination at the
special session, the president might
take the hint and nominate new man
at the regular session. This, however,
was not done. The president renom-
mated Judge Hornblower, and the de-
cisve action of the senate followed.
Mr.. Van Allen when nominated for
minister to Italy relieved both the presi-
dent and the senate of their embarrass-
ment by declining the Office. There
seems to have been little doubt of his
confirmation if he had not declined.
Nominations for postmasters, col
leetors, marshals. district attorneys and
other federal offices, including va
cancies In army and navy grades,
frequently drag in the senate. Each
senator fancies that under the constitu-
ton he is entitled to some say before
the nomination is made. If he does not
get it. he is frequently able to delay
action indefinitely, if not to defeat it.
So much for the higher offices in the
gift of the government. The secretary
of the navy appoints all the officers and
men employed in the navy yards. They
are not subject to revision at the White
house, Before Secretary Tracy retired
eplaced ali the navy yards under civil
service regulations. His action has
been confirmed by the new secretary of
the navy. who has undoubtedly fol-
lowed the wishes of the president in the
matter. Mechanics and skilled laborers
employed in the yards are thus pro-
tected, while the vast army outside
seeking their places are disappointed
The yards are filed with Republican
employees, and the civil service lists
from which other mechanics and labor
ers were drawn are filed with Repub-
licans.
When Secretary Herbert began his
term of Office under the civil service
rules inaugurated by his predecessor,
it would have taken at least five years
to have reached a Democrat on the lists.
TO alleviate the Situation, the secretary
availed himself of well known civil
service rule. lie issued an order that
those who had been upon the list for
more than one year should be dropped.
Under this order few Democrats may
be reached within seven months. There
are, however, 3 few clerkships and

their distribution that Adlai E. Steven
son and James S. Garrison made their
reputation as headsmen.
Some congressman make bitter COM
plants against Mr.. Maxwell, but the
record shows that he yields the ak as
skillfully as did even Stevenson or
Clarkson. The latter did business by
spurts. Days would drag by without a
removal, and anon hundred OF heads
would fall into the basket within twelve
hours. Maxwell works the guillotine
steadily. The aggregate shcws that lie
has made more removals since he has
been in Office than Ciarkson made in
the same time. The pressure, how ever,
is so great that dissatisfaction still ex-
lists. 1t threatened to show itself in the
Democratic caucus on the night of Jan .
3. A Democratic representative had a
resolution prepared asserting that it
was the sense of the caucus that every
fourth class postofice III the country
should be filed by Democrat before
March. The friends of the adminiStra-
ton, it is said. got wind of his purpose,
and the caucus adjourned before he
could present his resolution. If the
other assistant pOstmaSters general at
tended to their duties as faithfully as
Maxwell there would be fewer com
plants.
Congressman Wiison,of Washington,
whose cry of cuckoo in the house has
won him the sobriquet of "the cuckoo

Mr.. Wilson said. "He resigned last

Cutting Off the Heads OF POST
masters.
Correspondence of the Glooe. LCopyrght.l
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 27.-With
lowering skies and murky fogs, the rush
for office continues. Men, women and
} children are involved. The hard times
increase the rush. What adds to the
pathetic character of the hunt is the
fact that those who are in office make
most desperate efforts to retain their
positions. Widows who work to support
their families have lost their situations.
Old soldiers have been discharged, and
| among them men who have received the
medal of honor. Those in need seemed
TO have received no more than those not
in need. The civil service law is the
only protection for them, but there are
many places not classified ard not sub
| Ject 10 civil service regulation.
In former administrations politics has
been an important factor in the diStri
| button of these places. 1t is factor to
a far less degree in the present adj
! ministration. The wishes OF the repre-
sentativeS and OF the senators are more
| frequently disregarded. Some are never
consulted as 10 federal appointments in
! their district or state. Others secure
appointments with very little trouble.
| Those nearest the heads of departments
seem to have more influence than Of
ticials Immediately interested.
All cabinet officers have more or less
! appointments. The secretary of state
is credited with the power of distribute
| ing foreign missions and consulShips.
| These appointments, however, are made
| by the president. 1t is said that Mr..
| Gresham really has very little to do
with them. They have been distributed
thus far, with few exceptions. after
consultation with the nearest assistant
secretary of state. Special congress
| siOnal favors may have secured moety
of them, but the recommendations of
not one congressman in twenty have
! been considered. Outside influences
swirl in and bear away the prize.
! While this may be annoying to con-
gresham it is eXasperating to senator
| The constitution provides that the
| president may make these appoint
ments ''by and with the advice and
consent of the senate" When they are
made without regard to senator's
wishes they are apt to provoke con-
/ troversy i'll executive session. They
may lay in the hands of a senate COM
mittee for weeks and months before
| they are even considered.
! If the Office is an important one, and

power to withdraw the nomination and
make another one. When Justice

pears AT the Ret.
The announcement that the accom-
plished English artists, Mr.. and Mrs.
Kendall, and their London company.
under the direction of Daniel FroIman,
Will visit this city and present their
leading plays, will be received with
unusual interest by theater-goers. They
will make their first appearance in this
city at the Metropolitan Opera house
next Thursday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall have earned the
applause of the two great centers of
English dramatic art. And their nice
balance and richness of detail is one Of
the most heartily welcome characters
tics OF their performances. As for
themselves, ripe as is their experience
they are still young and look it. Both
are types OF the pr0verbial comeliness
of their race. Mrs. Kendall might serve
as model in many ways, her splendid
voice with its refined and well-trained
modulation, her superb figure, with the
dignity and grace of movement, the
nobility and sweetness of her face and
admiral art form 4 rare and most at
tractiye combination. Training has
done much for Mrs. Kendall, but nature
has also been lavish in her gifts, and
the result makes an actress Of whom
England may well be proud.-One
whom it is both an education and a
delight to see.
For their ST. Paul debut, Mr.. and Mrs.
Kendall have selected Pinero's play.
"The lronmaster." Il is said that the
play is strong in dramatic treatment. is
clear, vigorous and decisive in char
Rcter, absorbinglv Interesting, of ex-
ceptionally high literary quality, not
only in being well written, but also in
the mental dignity and brilliance Of its
dialogue, and is one of the most notable
additions i'll some time made to stage
literature.

"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray." In this
new play the Kendals have managed 10
do the equivalent of those hitherto con-
sidered Impossible things, for they have

treatment of the leading role has been
likened to the great creations of stage
character that have been made famous

Saturday night will be devoted to
Tom Taylor's famous play, "Still
Waters Run Deep" This comedy dit
fers considerably from the play with
which the Kendals are identified, but it
is one which is suited to their natural
school OF acting. When, Ton Taylor
wrote Still Waters Run Deep" he
struck chord that found its echo in
the breast of every man who has the
least spark of chivalric feeling. The
comedy was produced on May IA, 1855.
at the Olympic, London. So great was
its success that American managers re-
solved to produce it, and it was pre-
scented for the first time III this country
on Sept. 10. 1865, at Barnum's, New
York, and within the space of three
months the comedy had been seen in
most of the large cities OF that day.

| upon the secretary's recommendation.
| The subordinate officers in the bureaus
are appointed by the secretary mainly
at the request of the chiefs of divisions.
| For instance: A man is seeking an APP
pointment as Doilerinspector. He writes
| out his application, Endorsed by diff
| fefent congressman and Democratic
leaders. 1t is placed on file at the treas
nry department aud most cases referred
TO the officer having charge of such mat
tiers. His recommendation goes a long
way in securing the office. Without it
the applicant is almost sure to go to the
wall. There are today in the treasury
department enough applications for
office to fill freight train, and they
still pour in upon the department. To
/ give these applications careful consider
alton would require years of steady
work. Nevertheless changes are con-
staltly being made, but the prizes are
as few and as far between as those in a
Havana lottery.
The same strain is felt in the interior
department. This department covers
the pension, land, census and patent
offices, employing thousands of men and
women. The most of the employees are
protected by the civil service rules.
There are hundreds, however, who are
not. An army of women are seeking
these few places. When vacancy oc-
ours nearly every congressman in the
house is importuned to go to the front
on behalf of some applicant. Those
who make business of seeking offices
instead of attending to their congress
sional duties with rare exceptions ap-
pear to be as unsuccessful as others.
There are representatives who ramp
the departments SO continuously that it
is hard to find them when their vote is
required to make quorum. Very few
removals are made. Hoke Smith moves
cautiously, and is not disposed to make

surveyors, Indian agents and other
places in distant states. they are ap-

The war department., in comparison
with others, has very little patronage to
distribute. For that little, however,
there is a constant fight. Col. Lamont
is eminently practical, and distributes
whatever he has promptly and gra-
ciously.
The department of justice has also
very little patronage. The Uuited States
district attorneys are appointed by the
president usually. but not necessarily,
on the recommendation OF the attorney
general. These district attorneys select
their own subordinates.

Charles Frohman's company in H. G.
De Miles highly successful American
play. The Lost Paradise" will have its
second production i'll this city at the
Grand this week, commencing tonight.
The play will be presented in the same
careful manner as characterized its sue
cessful runs of. 800 nights in New York,
$50 nights in Boston and 100 nights in
Chicago, from where it comes directly
to this city. The play has everywhere
been conceded as one of the most inter-
esting plays of the period, and it. deals
with one of the greatest living issues.
The characters introduced are broadly
real. and, although there is hero in
the character OF Reuben Warner, tue
superintendent OF the KnOTltun Grol
works, strange to say. there is no VII
lain. The interesting story it tells are
incidents happening in every day life
at the present time. Mr.. Knowlton, the
owner of the works, steals an invention
from Reuben Warner. the superintend-
ent, who does not know It's real value,
and with the profits derived from the
invention builds handsome and lux

wife and their beautiful daughter Mar

messengers not under The classified
service. The struggle for these places
is terrific. 1t is safe to say that there
are at least hundred men for each
place. The secretary hiss been over
burdened with applications. The good of
the service requires that these changes
should not be made expeditiously. Pol
itics does not always throw the right
man IN the right place. Indeed. in
some cases where changes have been
made, three or four men have been tried
before competent clerk has been Sc
cured.
Great pressure has also been brought
to bear upon the secretary of the treas
ury. His official duties have been so
arduous that for months he has been
unable to give even a hearing to Office
seekers. The few that have been APP
pointed have been selected by subordi-
nate officials. Collectors, surveyors,
marshals, special agents, subtreasurers,

are appointed by the president usually
