OFFICE SEEKING.

With perhaps q case here ana there
which are exceptions, one now rarely
hears OF "the Understanding the man." as
was the custom in the earlier days ofthe
country's history. but on the contrary
the hunt for office IS now almost con-
tinuous and the hungry horde of patron
ago hunters increases year by year. In
no country on the globe does his prac-
tlce obtain to the same extent as iii
the United States, n in none does i
exert the same Influence for harm. 1t
many people have begun to look upon
he Government rs being something
created for their own benefit, and every
new administration is compelled To de-
vote valuable time for weeks and
months listening to the pieadinss for
office when it should be devoting the
time to the business of the country.
Every four years the spectacle is pre-
sented OF "a newly-electcd President
struggling to handle tho problems OF
Government, and at the same lime lis
teninE to the appeals of ofiice-seekers,
and the result is tina in the earlier part
or the administration he has but little
time 10 attend to the general business OF
h country. That these things are so is
to be regretted. ana yet what is the
remedy? Hon. Carl Scilurz, in the cur
rent umbe Of TIarper's Weekly, makes
the following suggestions:
what the President can do is to
make known to all concerned. III be-
~ 1r0l If nf f11,, t,fIIfir - nra. . ,r1,;,t, ~ -

House: that appointments will be

appOinteeS are to serve; tina who

Others for appointment to office must
do SO in writing and not otherwise;
THAT when oral advice or consulta-
tation aDou appointments To office
is desired, 1t will be specially invit-
ed: that removals n appointments
will be made only for the good Of
The service n after careful in
uuiry by the Executive branch of
II Government itself, and to facili-
tate the attainment OF the end in

President, for the guidance of the

These suggestions would unquestiona-
bly, do away With much OF the annoy
which is cuscd by the present way
of seeking office. and they have the adj
vantage OF being simple ana practical.
