where bored Congressman deposit pes
tering ofice-seekers. It is crowded to
sufication with men and m for
whom there is no work-only pay. Mr..
Benedict, the new head of the Office,
reports that there are at least four
hundred borne on the rolls for whom
there is neither work nor room. Hun
dreds are got rid of By furloughing
them indefinitely-of course with pay.
Mr.. Benedict has begun by discharging
all these. He announces his purpose to
reduce the number borne on the rolls to
the number who can be supplied with
work. This is right. 1t will prove a
popular course also, and will strengthen
the Democratic party with the people.
