Republicans Not Satisfied.

The disposition of republican congress- men to debate at length the provisions of the postoffice appropriation bill now under consideration by the House. indi- cates pretty clearly the dissatisfaction which exists over the civil service meth- ods now in vogue in the department A member of Congress these days has little more access to the files of the depart ment than sn ordinary citizen and in number of cases requests made by them to examine papers In postofiee cases have been hatly refused by the department with the result that the member has de- parted In very bad frame of mind
 Members claim that they have the right to the free access to these papers If they are to be consulted respecting the ap- pointments to be made by the depart ment This becomes even more true when they are held responsible for appoint ments the department sees fit to make. Representative Mndd of Maryland called at the postoffiee department the other day, and as had been his custom. he visited the room where the Maryland cases are kept on file and asked the clerk to see the inducements in u fourth class postoffiee case In his district The clerk declined and referred him to the first assistant. who ln turn sent MT. Mudd to another official who was also unable to grant the request. Mir Mudd returned to the first assistant. told him what he thought of the whole proceeding and left the department.
 He stayed long enough, however to tell MT, Hitchcock that the policy Of the department Is making the reelection of republican, House more difficult daily and instead of organizing campaign committee the members ought to meet and resolve to dsband.
