GETTING THE BROOS READY. . The letter of Postmaster General Vilas to tbe Ohio Congressmen indi cates that he is getting the broom in readiness to do some pretty effec tive sweeping. We rise to remark that Mr. Vilas is on the right track, and that his initiatory- mover will, meet with responsive endorsement from the Democratic masses of the country, while the reform Republi cans who supported the candidacy of Mr. Cleveland can find nothing tin his proposed line of action to objrct to. . He does not propose a clean ins discriminate lopping off of heads for mere partisan motives,' but the : re moval of such postmasters as have made their office the means of futh ering- party ends, and made them selves , improperly conspicuous as party "workers. ; He views it that all such have forfeited any claims they might have for consideration under the Bew administration, and intends to" retire them to private life as rapid - y as it can. be done without derang ing public business or conflicting with public interests. There is nothing in this proposed course of action that conflicts with the spirit or letter of the civil service reform declarations, or. the well known attitude of President' Uleve lond on that subject. ' In his letter during the campaign to the New York Independent Republicans, who asked for his views on tbe subject of removals from office, Mr. Cleveland said that while he would not regard the fact of being a Republican suffi cient cause for removal, still thei e were many men in office, who, by their subordination of official posi tion to party ends, and offensive par tisanship, had forfeited all claims to favorable consideration, the natural inference from which was, of course, in the event of his election they, must go. The Postmaster General is simp- yT proceeding upon this line, but while he does so he takes the precau tion to insist that care shall be shown in the selection of the men who are to' take the place of those removed, and that only good, responsible, honest and competent men, who command public respect,, and public confidence; shall be brought forward. He wan' a' Democrats in, but Democrats- who fill the bill of popular expectation, and such as will reflect credit and not bring odium upon the administra tion. Working within Democratic ines, and with a view to strengthen the Democratic party, he keeps in sight civil service reform in fact as well as in profession, and insists that it shall i be a reality in the character of the men who are to be; put-in posi tion. 1 ? . .. ' . . i Before the autumn leaves begin to fall it will be found that a very large number of postoffices Will be filled by Democrats, and the work once be gun will be continued with allpractis cable dispatch until something akin to a very clean sweep has been made. The Postmaster General is systematic, and has the reputation of disposing of business with remarkable rapidity when it is m good shape to be dispos ed of. Having cleared the way, and given Democratic Cougressmen a hint how to proceed, he is ifbw ready for -business.

CLEVELAND'S : POLICY : IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLIN A. What a ResreseatatiTe f torn Waiaora Says About It Correal Romors About Cabinet Chances. . . - Correspondence of The Obsebvxb. 1 Washingtoh, May 15. Mr. LovelL ex State Senator, and now member of the House of Representatives from Watauga county, is visiting Wash ington. He says that the people in that county, are not clamorous, but await the changes which they have the right to expect the administration to make. .They know that the Presw dent has his hands full, and are not disposed to embarrass him with de- -t v. . - i L manas ior omce or criucisms oecause the Republicans are not turned out faster. Mr. Lovell remarks that all the postmasters in Watauga were Repub- icans exceot one. and because no member of that party could be found to put in the place the office was abol ished. Notwithstanding such gross partisanism as this, under which they with other counties have suf fered, the people were patient with the President. Of course, if he were to decide not to make removals, that would alter the question entirely. But tbe people have faith in theDem ocratic administration. Mr. Lovell seemed pleased at what he saw and heard here of Mr. Cleveland's policy. I think from all I have been able to gather from recent visitors that Cens trat and Western North Carolina are more tolerant than the extreme East ern portion of the delays in making appointments. In some measure this is to be accounted for by the sort of officesholders they have in the East,; where the large preponderance oi negroes has forced into office a few colored postmasters. At Newborn," for instance, the cry is loud and; den termined that the 'rascals must go." Newborn has a colored postmaster whose term does not expire until just before: Mr. Cleveland's. The leading candidate i or the position is a son of Judge Manly, and bears his father's honored name.. That the Democrats, who are really the people of Newborn, should be displeased at seeing a negro discharge important duties i which they wish to be aevoivea on young Mat. Manly is natural, , and within reasonable bounds this feeling is un doubtedly wholesome. - The truth about this whole business ofl delav is; just coming out,' but' all along it has been known to those who have made a careful study of the siGuaUon. Any man in his senses should have been able to credit the men at the head of this admin istra tion with more gumption than to keep any considerable number of Re publicans in office. s It has of course never been intended to make what is called a clean sweep at once, because that would unsettle everything, ana Mr. Cleveland is not the man to ex cite alarms m the couatry over which he has been called to. act as Chief Magistrate. The real policy of the administration has been to make the : best appointments possible. To do this requires time. -In, working ouiLJiis policy the President has in some instances for reasons sufficient to himself, and I think to the coun try, departed from the common rule and consulted other persons besides thoso who are called the leading poll -ticiars. In some of these cases he has done remarkably well; in others he h-iS made mistakes." - But upon the wholo the appointments, are first elasx.' - . - - - '- '.. Postmaster General Vilas' circular letter to the Ohio Democratic Con- f ressmen : gives general satisfaction, t'; shows that as early as the last week in April, at least, the rostomce Department had mapped out a system of removals;' Z? ', ' ' v. I do not think it is necessary to printrall the loose, irresponsible gos sip of the day. . In such a city as this there' is always a great aeai pt taiK that amounts to nothing,; and that is not spicily false enough-to" be worth reoeatine.;: But the gossip about tbe Cabinet which one hears may be an an exception.: sJTor several weens, in fact since the start, some of the quid nuncs have had Mr. Manning,-secretary of the Treasury standing with his hat in' hand, ready to return to Albany and his newspaper There is not a syllawe ot probability or, tnis. Mr. Manning has splendid executive ability in the very place where it would not be easy to nna me rigm sort of talent combined with otner qualifications necessary? for ; a New York Cabinet member . j Certainly in all New York there is not a man who could fill his place But probably the most ridiculous canard is that which came to roy ears this noon." A re sponsible person, who is a Democratic employe of the government, s says that a gentleman told him this morn ing that he was miormea oy a iaay last evenine that both Secretary Bay- ard and Attorney General Gailand would soon resign, tbe step having been decided upon, and that Mr. Lamar would succeed Mr.. Bayard. This utterl yt irrational step ; cannot have been decided for several reasons. which, were , brought out by some Southern .Democrats who discussed the rumor thia afternoon In the first Dlace. the relations between the Presr dent and the two members of -his Cabinet referred, to, have: been ex ceedingly pleasant, - and he has the utmost confidence in their judgment and fidelity. Then it is sai.d that the Cabinet is homogeneous, that there is perfect agreement and the best' of personal feeling between the mem hers. These- rumors aboqt' Cabinet dissolutions are usual, and nearly always arise from, some desire of the oTjbosition .to create dissension?.1 or sotne jealousy of outside parties who have ends of . their own to serve. It is Safe to say as Mr Bayard that he is ! regarded as a Presidential possi bility: and that he has powerful rivals A North Carolinian who heard this report sa'd while : there : might be eround to think, as to the Secretary of J State, that he regretted having left the Senate, he was too wise man to resign a place which he haa been under no compulsion to accept. He will "stick," in tbe opinion of this gentleman. The JNorth Uaroliman referred to fur.her remarked that the report as it rilated ti Mr: Gailand was absurd, because, tho latter had a! his. life "prayed for" the very posi tion, he now held he was : the one man in tbe Cabinet who was proud above all ; the. others ot his puce which he so much adorned - iMessrSi ArKW Hines aiid J J.

The Postmaster General's laalrnctioas as to Their Disposal. : ' A short time since Mr. C. S. Felton, an old commercial traveler, address ed a letter to Postmaster General Vilas calling his attention to some facts connected with mail matter at hotels. In this : letter Mr Felton stated that there were thousands of letters lying uncalled for at hotels throughout the i country, many of which, doubtless, were of considera ble value.' He declared that he knew of one hotel - that positively had on band more than a bushel of letters, evidently being the accumulation of years. - Many hotels, he said, never returned any mail matter to the post offices, the proprietors claiming that the same came to them in trust, and that they had no right to turn them over to anybody except to parties to whom they j' were' addressed,'.: Mr. Felton thought this manner of pro cedure not right, and therefore' cons eluded to address a letter to the de partment at . Washington. In reply he received tbe following r explicit definition of the law uponjthis sub . j Post Office Department, Office of the P. M. General, WASHijiGTOir. D. C, April 29. 1885 ' C S.
