The Houthernera lu Congnaa are praotlcally unanimous In lavorof thoreieul of tbe tux ou the curri ncy of the atate bauka, but although al-though It weauudoreod by Ihop'atfurin upon which he waa elected Mr. Cleveland Cleve-land haa been credited with belug oppoaed to It.

That rernalce to be seen. Mr. Cleveland has from the organl aatlonof tho 1'tople'a purly taken no lalusto conceal his opposition to the urlnclplea advocated by that patty, but hehasjuitglvou hla approval to one of tho principles that lias oooupled u prominent lai.o In every national plat lorm adoi ted by that pari) tho levy.

According to a story going around here Iho gentlemen who are amblllsus of heoouilng chiefs of divisions In the treasury department have the laugh on llou.Curl Hchuri, president of tho Civil bervlce ltefortu league, who was entertained ot dinner during hla slay In Washington by I'realdeut aud Mrs. Cleveland, Aa thu story goe, Mr, Bjliurr. called ou Becretary Carlisle, who has shown a market liking lik-ing for tho resignations ol the chiefs of divisions In his department!, nnd ape nt an hourtrylug to make the secretary secre-tary teo how statesmanlike It would be to retain all of the efllcleut chiefs of dlvlalous.

The chlels of dlvl alone aro net under civil service rules, but thoy would like very much to br. Thu now oommlsaloner ot rcntlulis haa rcneslod thu most lm(iortatit rules made by Oommlasloner llaum for tbe conduct cf the bualneaa of that bureau, whlo'i Is now being practically run tiuiter lh rules which wero lu foreo during tho teglmo of Commlialcmr lllnck, under thu first Cleveland administration. The principal rulo ret oiled was that relating to what are kuown as "completed tiles," which played eichn oonilcuoua J alt la the Invoitlgntlon of the penslou bureau iuhJc by lliultouie conimltlee during thu flrat hah of thu laat Cou. greia.

All talk of I'realdent Clevoland encouraging a icaudldalu to run against hltn has died out. l'rrsldont Cleveland's rule against granting ersotinl lutorvlows to olllce-stickers olllce-stickers Is not aa unsatisfactory as many thought It would be. Indeed, not u few eoplo exprcsf ed themselves as believing be-lieving that ll would be highly bene-flclnl bene-flclnl to the publlo aervlce If a similar tula weru adopted by members of the otbtnet. At tlrslglance It apearsun Jul!, hut If it wero gonerolly adopted nud rigidly adhered to It would not br; It would not prevent applicants filing their pal ere, and It woulJ give the hoods of depnrtmonta a great ileal of timet devote to the publlo business that la now absolutely walated In listening to a verbal repetition or what Is contained lu thn papers which tbo uppllcaiitaliavn ilicod on file.
