recommendations for Office Several of
them have declared over their own sig
natures that they will endorse no ap-
plications. While it is all very well to
uphold civil service reform and to cry
down the wild hunt for office, 1t is
doubtful whether the Democratic
masses, or the Republican masses
either, have anticipated such Utopian
era of politics as now prevails in all the
executive departments of this Govern
ment with one exception. In the
Treasury Department alone have the
Government employees the least visible
proof that the people voted a Demo-
cratic Administration into power. Talk
of offensive partisansl Why, there are
scores and scores Of men in office here
whose offensive partisa nship taxes cre-
dulty, and whose retention is a stink in
the breath of civil seYice reform,
Republican officholders are undisturbed
so long that in some cases they appear
to become ashamed of being the recipi-
ents of such leniency and insist upon
retiring. Those holding the important
positions of United States District
Attorneys and United States Marshalls
are by law not permitted to hold on
after the expiration of the term for
which they we're commissioned. In
various of these the vacancies have
been filed by Republican u, 5.
Judge because the Executive evinced
no intention to act.
In the matter of this nomination which
have been held up in the Senate it is
claimed that one side only Of the case
has been considered in this condemna-
tion visited upon the Senate, and it is
positively affirmed that several Sena-
tors wh) have not been acting with
Mr.. Hill do not consider him the only
one to be blamed. A Senator of long
service and great reputation, who,
upon each of the three occasions of
Mr.. Cleyeland's nomination for the
Presidency, was opposed to him, has
yet never voted against any of his New
York nominations or taken any part
in the dissensions, will vote for the
confirmation Of Mr.. Peckham as he did
for that of Mr.. Hornblower. But he
does not hesitate to say if he bad the
power of appointment, he would not
exercise it in the direction in which 1t
must inevitably disrupt and disinte-
CRATE his own party in the most i'm
portant State of the Union. He does
not think Mr.. Cleveland has any more
right than Mr.. Hill to thrust upon the
Senate his personal partialities and
his personal antipathies.
These are few of the facts and de-
ductions which appeal to those not
ready to concede that all power, pre-
rogative, and consciencelie in one man.

TOILET HINTS.

A warm bath at night to remove

beautifiers a woman can use.
