RIDICULOUS SECRECY.
Every New Administration Seems
to Revel in It
Onice-Holders, When First Clothed
with Authority, Forget That
They Are IA Servants of
the People.
Ispecial WASHINGTON Letter.1

The e. administration is like all new
administrations. 1t is secretiye. Ad.
ministrations come and go, but they all
begin in a maze of mystery. The politi-
cal complexion of the administration
makes no difference. The subordinate
officials make fools of themselves with
equal facility, whether they believe in
free trade. free silver, high protection
or yellow dollars.
Twelve wears ago Postmaster General
Villas. Attorney-General Garland, and
all the members of Cleveland's cabinet,
gave orders TO their messengers, chief
clerks and civil service clerks to be care
full to give out nc information to news
paper men without first getting per-
mission 10 do so. As a matter of fact,
the clerks knew what should be given
out as news and what withheld lar bet
ter than the new cabinet ministers
could possibly know; Tor the cabinet
ministers had much 10 learn about en-
ecutiye affairs.
Eight years ago the cabinet ministers
Of the Harrison administration cam
into their places OF dignity aud power,
and they at once ordered secrecy con
administrative affairs. Legiti-
items Of news we're hidden away,
or no other reason than that the cab
net ministers did not know their own
'~uSineSs, and were cropping slowly into
channels
Four years ago, when the second Cleye-
and administration began, the secre-
Of the officials was more than
