Washington Letter.
Washington, May 4, - 1885. |
The employes in the Departments [
here are complaining that their
minds are in such a perturbed and
distressed condition that they are
incapable of doing good work.
Their perturbation and distress is
from a fear that the rascals will
pretty soon be turned‘out. It would
be extremely agreeable to them to
have each a personal letter from
the President or the Pabinet Officer
in charge saying in effect; well
done thou good and faithful serv
ant ; continue to draw your salary,
smoke, drink, be merry, curse dem
ocrats, talk politics, flirt, as you
have always have done during the
alleged working hours of the long
halcyon period of republican ascen
dency ; the late election was a farce,
and the change of names, nothing
more. But the probability is that
a large number will receive in the
fatal yellow envelope a very differ
ently worded message before the
first day of June. In spite of the
alleged mental perturbation it is a
fact patent to all that never before
have these demoralized public ser
vants worked so much and so well.
There is doubtless still room for
inprovemeut, for the margin on the
4th. of March 1885 was almost
limitless, and many have not yet
got their hands in.
It is understood that there will be
some sweeping changes in Virginia,
very soon, and that other states will
be taken in turn. The people there
are chafing under the Mahone rule,
and are clamoring for all his ap
pointees to be turned out Mahone
had an understanding with Presi
dent Arthur by which he had all the
state patronage in his own hands.
He made use of this to turn out of
office both democrats and republi
cans and filled the vacancies he thus
created with men from his own
party, who are the strongest par
tisans. Nearly all the offices in
the state at the present time arc
occupied with Mahoneites, and the
Congressional de’egation is natur
ally anxious that these men shall
be removed. Air. Cleveland is in fa
vor of this view also and will accor
dingly soon make wholesale
changes.
Anew set of rules and regula
tions governing the Treasury De
partment has just been issued by
Secretary Manning, going into ef
fect May 1. The principal changes
are in regulating sick leaves and
reporting violations of the rules%
Visiting among employes, smoking
and reading newspapers are prohi
bited.
It is required that all current
business must be disposed of on
the day during which it originates.
All letters that cannot be answered
at once must at least be acknowled
ged upon the day of receipt.
One of the rules provides that the
report of deficient and delinquent
clerks, required by the 13th section
of the act of Aug. 2(5, 1842, will be
made monthly, as required by said
act; and in all cases where clerks
having higher salaries are less effi
cient than those having less salaries,
that fact shall be reported, that the
salaries may be arranged on the
ground of merit only.
Tire rules conclude with the fol
lowing statement:
Heads ofhureaus and chiefs of di
visions are direction to cause moun
ted copies of these rules and regula
tions to be posted in a conspicuous
in each of the rooms under their
charge, and to require a strict ob
servance of said rules. The duty
of reporting any violation of these
rules and regulations is strictly en
joined upon the officers of the De
partment. They are considered
absolutely necessary, in view of the
present pressing condition of the
public service. They are such as,
are enforced in every well regulated
counting house, where the clerks
are engaged many more hours than
jhey are here. They will he rigidly
enforced; and no immunity from
them will he granted to any person.
Prompt removal will follow every
willful violation or culpable disre
gard of them.
Destroy tha Sign.
One may feel that he’s getting
old, but he naturally dislikes that
anything about his appearance
should advise others of the fact. Yet
nothing does this so effectually as
thin and falling hair. No woman
wants to marry a man,and|a business
firms hesitates to employ a man,
who shows this fatal sign. Parker’s
Hair Balsam is worth to you, in this
regard, more than its weight in
diamonds. Use it, and haw v'enti
ful and glossy hair. Many have
l had every trace of grayness remov
ed and bald spots covered by using
i a single bottle.

Yati'svim.k, April 28th. —The
Young Men’s “Mutual Aid Literary
Society," met on the evening of the
25th. After the society was called
to order, the following address was
delivered by one of our boys:
Mr. President and Gentlemen: —I
am aware of my utter incompeten
cv to the task which has been im
posed upon me. L thankjyou how
ever for the assignment. 1 deem it
an honor of which 1 am not worthy
but 1 am persuaded that the honor
is all on my side. We are not here
to-night to display our oratory, or
to charm you with our well round
ed, and clear, logical sentences.
Neither are we here for mere past
time or idle curiosity. Thed the
question very naturally arises,
What are we here for? What mo
tives prompted us to come here?
We are here as an organized band
for the promotion and building up
of good society,and to battle against
the most gigantic and persistent foe
that ever antagonized any people
or nation. Ail enemy which des
troyed cities and nations and pull
ed down the loftiest kingdoms, and
brought the wealthy to poverty and
want. This enemy is ignorance.
There is not an individual any
where who is exempt from the war
fare with this fearful enemy. He
has invaded you, my honored sirs,
and has antagonized every tongue
and motion. To struggle success
fully with this fearful monster, we
continually and persistently seek
after knowledge. The wealth of the
mind, which is the grandest fortune
ever left to any man. Property may
be swept away by the ruthless hand
of the oppressor and even health
itself may betaken away, but there
is no power by which we may be
robbed of this great treasure.
My bosom swells with emotion
when I contemplate the vast num
ber of young people of the present
day who arc falling victims at the
feet of this great destroyer; we al
low the precious golden momcn'fo
to pass unimproved, not thinking;
once that when they are goi e
they are irrevocable. V o
should avail ourselves of every pos
sible means of acquiring and stor
ing the mind with useful knowledge
In the grand arena of life we march
out with our own destiny iu our
own hands, to stand or fall. Let us
gentlemen of the society raise high
our banners with the inscription in
flaming letters, “Perseverance.”
Many people think, and even say,
because they are of humble origin,
reared in poverty —to attain any po
sition in life is utterly impossible.
Why, sirs, the greatest minds which
have ever been known, are those
which have forced their way up
through the most embarrassing cir
cumstances—conquered the Cnemy
with weapons made by their own
hands. A great mind does not con
sist in doing great things, but do
ing small things well. In this
make-up of character, a man is just
what he-wants to be. If lie desires
a high position in life it is his. Too
much of our time I fear, is wasted
or consumed in diligent research
for something that is of vastlv less
importance than the pursuit of
knowledge and wisdom.
When we stand upon the stage of
early manhood and womanhood,
and view the vast field of attain
ments spread out before us, which
are ours only by persistent and
hard struggles, we shrink back in
despair with the utterance, “too
hard.”
I stand upon this platform to
night, Mr. President and gentlemen
and can see, with the eye of imagi
nation, away through the dark mists
of the distant future, when the re
sponsibilities of this government
will be thrown upon ns. Our Con
gross and Legislative halls will be
vacant, with other offices of high
honor and trust, to bo occupied, it
may he, by someone under the
sound of my voice or someone in
this vicinity. Let us in view of
these facts arouse our energies and
press onward for the prize.
