Al- ! though many o. the Southern Deni- j ocrats who have been here since the J election have ascribed recent losses ! in North Carolina, Virginia and i other Spates to the policy of the Ad ministration, and especially to civil service reform, it is very clear to others tliit they have not made out a ease auainst either .Mr. Cleveland or the miginatofs of reform. As a gentleman said lo-day : "Why, that charge is exploded by the fact that so far' as all these States are con cerned the Republicans have been turned out and Democrats put in their places. Ransom in North Car olina and Rutler and Hampton in South Carolina have got pretty much all their 'people asked for. It is tlie srfme thing with Voorhees of Indi ana. These people are growling at the moon. They don't begin-, to know what it is they want to say. The Congressmen I have talked with all declare that the trouble was not with civil service principles or with the President, but with the vast number of disappointed oflice-scek-ers who, under the old system.would not have received one place in a hundred; no, nor one ina thou sand. The friends of the adminis tration are not dismayed by the crit icism of Hoosiers, Tar Heels and F. F. Vs. The best men in all these States side with the President, and tlie fact is well know here ami has iis due weight. No effort 'to break down the President's policy will suc ceed. Nothing has hitherto resulted hut disaster to those who have tried "o destroy civil service re firm. Its worst enemies have been silenced, ir at lehst severely rebuked.

Resides, even if it was due niirelv to that it can be shown that a greater number of anti-reformers wore not returned to the Congress. In North Carolina mv excellent . friends. Pi nnett.( ireene and Skinner, and elsewhere ! Morrison, Curtin. Uragg, Cabell and many others who were at the last session well known here as enemies of the reform policy adopted by the President may not have been returned because of this fact, but-tlie argument is a fajr one to offset that which makes the ad -ministration responsible for all the iil luck of the party and denies to it the credit for obvious victiories in the east and northwest. Local and Congressional circles have been shaken by what i.- called the police scandal, and gossip over it has not yet ceased. Maj. Walker, chief of the Metropolitan police, said something about using influence with Congressmen to his lieutenants. Some of them construed it to mean a dogging ot the'footsteps of members to get "dots'' on them to be used in extoritng -appropriations for ah in crease of tlje police force. There is a difference in the testimony elicited in the pending examination, as to whether he said anything of the sort or .only that he desired them to use their personal iniluence. The' gen eral judgment, however, is that he committed a gross impropriety even in saying ; that much, and deserves i removal. - It is probable that tlie case will come up m the approach ing session ot the -A ongress. Several of the members who have spoken on the subject have expressed the opin ion that the matter shotlld. be further investigated. The police know a great deal about the habits and haunts of Congressmen. The department clerks and the city . physicians' have been about equally exercised over the enforce ment of regulations in the Peivsion oflice requiring a certificate of par ticulars from tlie attending physician in cases of absence for illness. The position of the commissioners has been sustained by the Secretary of the Interior aiuhthe Medical Society of the District have discussed Mr. J.anar's letter and the whole question.- The Secretary in his letter to the Commissioners said that he was satisfied that the. purpose of the let ter had been misconceived. It was not intended to be mandatory on the physicians nor designed to elicit dis closures of -professional confidence. He regarded it in the light of a re quest made to the physicians for ad ditional information in behalf of the applicant. It was stated that some city physicians had abused confi dence by granting certificates to per sons not entitled to them. After discussion the Medical Society de cided that the position of the depart menjvs right, and that in order to avoid complications the word of the employe should be taken with the physicians certificate. Hut Wie So ciety will investigate the statement that some physicians had abused the confidence reposed in them. : Alto gether this is 'a knotty subject. If, it must re said, the government is injured by imposition, on the other hand it is disgraceful to require a violation of professional secrets ; and how can any but a general and vague certificate be required without such violation ? In the matter of absences there has been a saving of more than S,.300 days during the past year. The story that ex-Senator and Congressman-elect Charles R. Hrack alew, of Pennsylvania, was to bo ap pointed Attorney Ceneral, is official ly denied at the White House.
