BOTH PARTIEs IN IT.

ltrom the Minneapolis Tribune.l
Neither political party is in position
to throw mud at the other on account
of the exposure of Irregularities in The
postofflce department. Both parties
have followed the rule of turning the
place Of first assistant in the postefiee
department over to a representative Of
the political Organization to be used as
far as the eivIl service laws permitted
to pay campaign debts and satisfy the
party demand for patronage.
For many years, this functionary has
been known as the headsman The
name fitted Stevenson as well as Clark
son and the predecessor of Perry. Heath
as wen as himself 1t is the chief mis-
fortune of the latter that the standard
OF public service has been growing
higher year by year, and that his cvni-
cal administration OF the office in what
he thought the interest of his partv a,-
cited more disgust and indignation than
the previous performances of his Dem
ocratic and Republican predecessors.
Nobody is called upon to defend the
administration of Heath. with whom tho
president found it convenient to mart
company after the Cuban postofsce
scandal But it is proper to point o,,t
mat the attack upon him by Mr.. Tul-
loch has plain partisan motive. Mr.
Tulloch was subordinate in the Wash
ington city postofice under Cleveland
and was removed by the postmaster
appointed under Mckinley. He was
naturally more impatient of the irregu-
larities Of the administration that re-
moved him than Of that which nut
him in Office.
Under the vicious system that turns
postofiice patronage over to a represen-
tative Of partisan committee to be di-
Vided among members Of congress, there
are likely to be irregularities enough
under any administration If there is
any difference. that under which they
come to light is more to be commended
than those under which they were hid
den. The remedy is plain enough. It is
to put the whole postal service under
protection Of the civil service law, and
