LESSON TO OFFICE-SEEKEES

AS OFFICE-SEEKER'S EXPERIENCE. A Sos plclous 3Ian'a Doubts .Removed riaceUnnters Should Stay at Ilome. Fpeclal to the Inrtianaiiolls Journal. Washington, Jane 10. Republican Congressmen who have been in Washington for some time seeking offices for impatient aspirants receive some very unkind complaints. It Is the policy of this administration to move Blowly in making removals of men vrho are efficient and accommodate ing, ana known to be honest. The eager - seekers for places are unable to understand why, after their fitness and merit have been properly presented to the President, they do not receive immediate oppoint- , .xsont. A gentleman who came here from one of the Western States, related his experience to your correspondent as follows: "I "wrote- a number of letters, and saw my - Congressman a number of times before I became very nervous about my appointment. I acknowledge that I thought it very unkind and suspicious that he should continue to write to me his excuses as to why I did not receive a place. I knew that ; the President.was aware of my fitness, and the fact that I had earned by party service a good position. I finally came to the conelusion that the Congressman was fabricating, and that if he really wanted me to have the place, and was doing what he could - forme, I woald get it. In this frame of. mind I came to Washington. Upon meeting my congressional representative he at " once told me that I should go with him to the White House, so that I could talk to the President myself, and see where the trouble was located. Like the doubting - Thomas he wanted me to put my fingers into the scars as oracular proof that there had been a crucifixion. I went to the White - House, and was ready to meet the President; but just as we were about to be ash-. ered into the President's room my congres- . sional friend suggested that I would Dest wait until he could broach the subject to ; the President, and then introduce me at the proper moment, I regarded this as a very ; suspicious incident, and my faith in that ' Congressman began to ooze out at my fingers' ends. When, finally, he came back .and told me that the President could do nothing in the matter, and did not even: 2 1 want to disenss it that day, I was ready to throw my hands up in disgust. "The next day," continued the impatient citizen, "my Congressman, seeing that I was dissatisfied, suggested that I should go to the White llouse on my own hook and see how tho machine worked myself. I had not talked with the President more than a xniuute until it began to dawn upon me that things were not just like I imagined they were, and that the Congressman had not only been acting in good faith, but had done everything he could. Not only does the President have to consider the character of applicants, and the reasons presented ' for the removal of the men occupying the positions sought, but he has to consider euch a vast number of applications that I really wonder he ever reaches a case at all. I have two or three times gone to the President, and now I begin to see there can be a blockade in appointments. It is absolute folly for men seeking appointments to como to Washington. It is really a disadvantage, as the President has good reason to believe when au aspirant can afford to come here and remain for weeks or months that that aspirant has very little to do at home, and that, therefore, his services to the party and his intiuence in the community where he lives are not very great. I am going home to wait for my appointment, and I advise those who want places to stay at their homes and await the action of their friends at headquarters." A DISCOURTEOUS CLERK. I An Unaccommodating Relic of the Late Administration Who Needs Toning Down. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, J une 10. Secretary Blaine is undoubtedly one of the most thoroughly accomplished diplomates the State Department has ever had at its head, and his democratic ways of doing business have elicited the greatest possible encomiums at the hands of the people who have called at the department since the 4th of March. Mr. Blaine is doing himself an injustice, however, by retaining in his department some of the unaccommodating, if not incompetent, officials vho were given positions under the late administration. An instance showing the necessity of a chauge in the chief clerkship arose tho other day. A gentleman who is about to sail forKussia, called upon Chief Clerk J. Fenner Lee, who is one of Senator Gorman's Baltimore ward strikers, and asked if he could have his passport sent up to the Russian legation for the vise of the Russian minister. "No," said Mr. Lee, "I cannot do it.M "It was the custom of Chief Clerk Brown, who serv ed before you for a number of administrations." said the gentleman, itd it is quite customary to do this thing. It will be a great accommodation to me, as it will avoid the necessity of my having to go to the consuls on the Russian border." "Well." said Lee, "I cannot do it I don't want to ask any favors of the Russian legation, and I have steadily refused to do this thing for other people. My predecessors may have done it. but they didn't have to. j7 "It is a very simple thing, and having been the custom under other administrations, the question simply resolves itself into one of your desiring to do me a personal or official favor. It is a custom which has become a part of your duty. Of course, if you do sot want to extend the accommodation you can refuse me; but it has become a custom so common that it is really a put of your official duty. If you don't want to ask to have the passport vised in your own name you can do it in the name nf the Chief Clerk of the Department of State." This Democratic worthy, who has nothing, so far as tho people who visit the State Department cn see. to recommend him for further retention under a Republican administration, was nonplussed, and he resorted to his only recourse to get out of tho unpleasant situation. He fiatly refused,, both in his personal and official capacity, to send the passport to the minister, and thegeutleman left the department, depending upon his own resources to secure the accommodation. Mr. Brown, who served about fifteen years as chief clerk of the Department of State, and who. for his efrjcienc3 was continued in office until this Mr. lce was recognized, on account of his being a Baltimore ward-worker, granted thousand of accommodations of this character, and his office was one where strangers were made at home. No doubt Mr. Blaine will issue instructions covering this unpleasant bar as t oon as it is called to his attention. If Chief Clerk L.ee is piqued at the Russian minister for any social orother reason, he has not the right, in cither his personal or ofticiai capacity, to refuse a civility and an accommodation as common as the one requested. THE TREASURY AUDITORS. A Colored Odce-Seeker's Queer Hallucination About m J'osltlon Ha Wanted. Fpeclai to the Iuil!ana;)olls Journal Washington, June 10. A remarkable incident, showing the ignorance on the part of the masses regarding the rank of officers in the departments, and also the eagerness of certain colored men to secure recognition ct the hands of tho administraUcaf with

out re card to their fitness for the places they seek, comes from Indiana. After the appointment of Mr. Lynch, the colored man from Mississippi, to bo Fourth Auditor of the Treasury, a prominent colored man in Indiana conceived the idea that he also could be au auditor of the Treasury. Not having much education, and no expierience in public life, he felt a little delicacy in applying for a place of tho same rank as that given to Mr. Lynch, who is well educated and largely experienced in public affairs, he applied for a place of three degrees lower than that of Fourth Auditor. Ue imagined that the importance of the auditorships rauk in their numerical order, that, for instance, the Fifth Auditor was not as high an officer and his otlice was not as difficult to fill as the First Auditor. This colored gentleman made formal application to be "Seventh Auditor of the Treasury." There are just six auditors, and thus this impetuous descendant of Ham would create a place for himself. Fred Douglass and other well-known colored men had their attention called to the case, and it amused them greatly. All of the auditorships have the same salary and the same rank. The First Auditor audits the accounts of the judiciary of the government, and it is probable that his duties are a little more intricate than those of any of the other five auditors. The Second Auditor audits the accounts of the armv and Indians; the Third, the accounts of the Qnartermaster-general's department, subsistence, engineers, signal service and other civil branches of the army; the Fourth, the accounts of the navy; the Fifth, the accounts of tho State Department, and the Sixth audits the Postoffice Department accounts. The impression has somehow gone abroad that colored men can secure positions under this administration by simply forcing their claims, regardless of qualifications. A colored man who was a messenger under the Hayes and Arthur administrations is here laboring under this delusion, and insisting that ho should be made a chief of division in one of the departments. The colored people will be recognized in the matter of offices on the same basis as white men are given recognition. Their qualifications and personal merits will be taken into consideration along with the pro rata proportion of the colored population of the United States. It would be unfair to white people to give the colored men more offices in proportion to their population than the whites are given, simply because the colored men havo black skins. .

The Crocodile's FeasL Cape Town Argas. Better far to hear the ills you know than fly to those you know not of. If tho seventy-five Kaffirs at the Cape who bolted from the May Queen reef to rid themselves from daily toil had borne the old adage in mind, the bulk of them would have been in the land of the living to-day. Instead of that, some of them are in tho land of the leal, perhaps, and others in a much warmer place. This is how it all happened: When said natives bolted, pursuit was hot. Black men jumped into a river, but only four out of the lot reached the other side. It was a case of crocodile first, and the natives next to nowhere. The crocodiles hada high old time of it with seventy-five plump Kaffirs to feed upon. In a race for liberty a policeman may be outstripped or ontmaneuvered a crocodile never or scarcely ever. The Tope's Summer Ilome. Borne Dispatch to London Dally News. The Pope has for some time past been expressing a strong desiro to leave the suite of rooms he is occupying in the Vatican and to take up his abode, at least for the summer months, in a small palace built in the Vatican gardens by Pins IV. Great doubts are, however, entertained by all the inmates of tho Vatican, and especially by Dr. Ceccarelli, as to the sanitary condition of this palace, especially as it is situated in the lowest part of the garden, and has suffered much from damp aud neglect, and has not been inhabited for many vears. However, in accordance with the Pope's wish, repairs are being energetically carried on, and it is thought that as soon as they are finished his Holiness will take up his abode there in spite of Dr. Ceccarelli'tj warning. Sunday Openings. Boaton Courier. The inquiry of the Mayor of New York in relation to the working of the Sunday opening of museums aud libraries in Boston is significant to tho trend of public feeling. The answer could hardly he too strongly put. Any one who goes to the Art Museum on Sunday afternoons will see that people of precisely the class that it is desired to reach fill the halls; that thej are interested, well behaved and pleased. There was nevera better move in the direction of public morals made here than the opening of these places on Sunday, aud tho event has amply justified the expectations with which the plan was tried at the outset. A Uank KUled on the Wire. Macon Telegraph. Casper Funderburke, who lives on the west side of Decatur couuty. near tho Alabama Midland railroad, says that the other day his little boy called his attention to a cloud of feathers flying about the telegraph wire. He wont out to the place, and underneath tho wire was the dead body of the biggest hawk he ever saw. Evidently the hawk had made a sweep downward for a chicken, and in his descent Miuc-k th wire, breaking his neck wing and cutting his breast open

BOTH LOST IN THE NINTH

Two Well-Played, Games at Chicago, Indianapolis Losing Each by One Run. Eesiilt of the Other League and Association Games Return of the Local Team from Their Unfortunate Trip To-Daj's Game. THE BALL FIELD. Two CIom mud Exciting Games In "Which, Indianapolis Is Defeated by Chicago. Special to the Indlanapolia Journal. Chicago, June 10. "Aha! here is meat," cried Mr. Anson, of that aggregation of alleged ball-players kuown as tho Chicago club, as the Indianapolis team walked into the park shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Anson had been fasting since last Thursday, and was hungry for something to devour. But "the meat" came very near devouring the big captain, as the following details will show. The leader of the Chicago club never worked harder in his lifo to win than he did this afternoon. The rain had interfered with tho contests of Friday and Saturday, and hence, to-day, two games were played, the first being called at 2 o'clock. Both were won by Chicago by. the closest of scores. In the first game Indianapolis made two runs in the first inning by the timely batting of Seery and Glasscock. Both side thereafter failed to do anything until th) sixth, when Indianapolis again knocked out a run. Three to nothing for the visitors the score then stood. Captain Anson's black frown made the dark sky look bright by comparison. In tho seventh inning, however, the tide began to turn. Parrel I. Burns and Scmmers made hits, and these, followed by a aassed ball, brought in two runs, after two men had been put out. Kyan in tho eighth, and Farrell iu tho ninth, both made base hits, and brought in the two winning runs, bcoro:

Getzein got a base on balls, while Seery helped him along with a hit. A sacrifice and Van llaltreu's error enabled the pitcher to score. Seery, by a similar combination of lucky circumstances, crossed the plate in the fifth inning. Everybody howled for the boys from President Harrison's State, who were plainly the favorites. Chicago didn't score until the sixth inning, when a double by Ryan, a single by Van Ualtren and an efur by Jerry Denny, in fumbling Duffy's hit, filled the bases. Glasscock made a beautiful pick-up of Anson's hit, but threw low to the plate, and Ryan scored. Pfeffer hit to the pitcher, and a splendid tripleplay disposed of the side. It looked like an Indianapolis game until the ninth, when, with two men out, Anson's colts made their nsnal spurt. Hits by Farrell, Burns and Flint yes, "Old Silver" made a hit coup-; led with McGeachy's error brought in the pair of winning runs.

The "Phenom s at Ilome. The Indianapolis ball team arrived from Chicago this morning, and will meet the Cleveland club at the local park this afternoon. The Hoosiers did not make a very brilliant record while away. In fact, the team made a decidedly poor showing, and that, too. without any apparent reason. The men have all been in good physio al joomutiou. anu just wuy tney uiu not win more games on the trip remains to be explained. President Brush reached home from Hot Springs yesterday, and last night intimated that he would give the ball club some attention to-day. Mr. Brush is not at all satisfied with the result of the trip, and will, no doubt, ask for a satisfactory explanation. If there has been a lack of honest effort on the part of any member of the team the ofienner will probably hear from the ofticiai head of the combination. The cry of hard luck is rather old and overworked. The Indianapolis team has not played the ball of which it is capable, and that fact is patent to the management as well as to the base-ball public iu general This is no time for sentiment, and a very little is qui to enough. Tho Hoosiers will now remain on tho homo grounds for three weeks, and will have an excellent opportunity to redeem themselves. Will they do it? Boyle and Meyers will be in the points this afternoon, and the game wiU be called at 4 o'clock. A Challenge. To the Edltor'of the Indianapolis Journal; In your paper of June 2, and again on June y, I have been it stated that the AllAmericans and Southerns had defeated the Easterns. Allow me to say that the latter team has never played either of the clubs named, and these organizations are trying to build up a reputation by making false statements as to their ability. I am ready and willing to play either of them for any amount, and I will post a forfeit with your paper at any time. L. E. Tallfntiee, Manager Easterns. Base-Uall Notes. Tom Brown is Boston's best base-runner. President Brush is very much improved in health. Chicago is said to be on the hunt for infield talent. ' The Hoosiers ought to win four of the six games to be played this week. Bardie Richardson has asyet experienced no trouble with his lame ankle. Tho local grounds are in ood condition, notwithstanding the heavy rains. The Hoosiers have already lost more games by one run than any two teams in the League. If the Indianapolis team wants to regain the contidence of the local public it must get down to work and show some desire to win games.. ,.;,;. The Indianapolis team is only four points ahead of Washington' .Yesterday's defeat of the latter was all that saved the Hoosiora from a place at the foot of the list. THE RACE TRACK.

The evidences are abundant that in ages far beyond our historic era, hundreds ot natural lakes existed "where vre now tind cultivated fields, villages and cities. The Kuihville gorge, between this city and Bremen, is believed by many intelligent men who have examined it to have been suddenly eroded by the escaping waters of a lake which once covered an area of 2.V) to BOO square miles, with a maximum depth of 150 to 175 feet. Levels taken by railroad engineers show that should that gorge be tilled up to the height of the hills on each side such a lake would reappear. The basin is there, and the HuHhville gorge furnishes the only ontiet. Suppose that that lake had not burst its barriers many aces ago, had been there last week, ana hnd then suddenly emptied itself into Hush creek, what would to-day be the condition of the cities and villages in the Hocking valley, including Lancaster, and of the cities and villages on the banks of the Ohio from the mouth of the Hocking to Ciucinnati or perhaps Louisville? The Shenandoah and Cumberland valleys in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania were once covered by a lake more than onehalf the size of Laie Erie, of a maximum depth of 600 to TOO feet. Whoever has stopped over at Harper's Ferry for a few days can realize Jeflerson's vivid description of the bursting of that lake, when its waters forced their way through the Blue IMrige. Palpable evidences are abundant that the lake once existed, and that its escaping waters moved stones of ten times tho weight of all the materials in the State housu considerable distances, where they stand isolated to-day. Had the Blue Ridge been a sufficient barrier to have withstood the pressure of that immense body of water until last week or last montli, and had then yielded, the cities of Washington. Baltimore, Frederick. Annapolis, and hundreds of smaller cities and villages in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania would have been submerged and utterly destroyed. A subterranean passage an inch in diameter may havo been the primary canso of the erosiou of the Kushville gorge or the gap in the Blue Ilidge- at Harper's Ferry. The tendency of elevated lakes is to seek tho ocean level. That which has happened may happen again. Is it impossible that the waters of Lake Erie may some day tind a subterranean passage to Lake Ontario? Who will undertake to say? Didn't Lear Babble. Detroit Tribune. There is not even a bnhblet on tho surface of European politics to mark the 8jot where Boulanger went down
