.SI.IJIY Hl'SINKSS. One of the most efficiently managed In ternal Revenue offices U admittedly that of the District of Georgia under the charge of Collector Thomas C CrenshaiV, jr., who was appointed by President Cleve' land. The fact Is attested by the special agents who have examined It under the present administration. In June last Mr Crenshaw voluntarily forwarded to Presi dent Harrison his resignation take effect Sept I. lie received neither acknowledge ment ncr reply for four weeks. Then came a telegram from Commissioner Mason asking Crenshaw to make the resig nation take effect July 15. The Collector respectfully declined to do anything of the tort.and what was his surprise to receive by mail the following ordertantedating the Commissioner's request : Executive Mansion, June 27,1889. Sir : You are hereby removed from the office of Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Georgia.to take effect upon the appointment and qualification of your successor. Henj. Harrison. To Mr Thomas C Crenshaw jr., Atlanta, Ca. Consequently, if the dates are trustwor thy, Collector Crenshaw had been officially removed before he was re quested to mod ify his voluntary resignation ! Yet Mr Crenshaw goes out of office at the time originally set by himself and without much respect for the professions or practi ces of the present administration. I". Is understood that the Collector will signalize his departure by mailing to the occupant of the White House a letter which that gentleman will not be eager to give to the press. 1 he.Collector will q-iote this mem orable passage from Harrison's letter of acceptance : "In appointments to everygrade and de partment, fitness and not party service should be the essential and discriminating test, and efficiency md fidelity the only sure tenure of office. Only the interest of the public service should suggest removals from office." Mr Harrison will be asked to square these declarations with the arbitrary re moval of Mr Crenshaw, for whom tke ad ministration was unable to find a capable or acceptable republican successor since June last. Mr Crenshaw can have lots of fun with a very serious moral out of his so-called removal. TUB IXITEll STATES. The largest republic in the world is that f the United States of America, wh'ch con tains 3,260,000 square miles, being almost equal in extent to Europe, which has fifty nine kingdoms, empires, principalities and republics. The largest state is Texas, w hich contains s74.35 square miles.capablc of sustaining 20,000,000 of people and then not be more crowded than Scotland is at present. It has been estimated that the entire population o the globe could be seated upon chairs within the boundary of Tex as, and each have four feet of elbow room. The largest county in the United Slates Is Custer county, M. T., which contains 36,000 square miles, being larger in extent than the states of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island. One-tcnlh of the present population of the United States could find means of a liveli hood within this immense county ; then it would not be as over-crowded as Iielgium was at the time of the last census. Tht largest body of fresh water In the world is Lake Superior j II Is 400 miles long and 1S0 miles wide ; its circumfer ence, Including the windings of its various bays, has been estimated at 1,800 miles. I'-s area in square miles Is 32,000, which Is grca'er than the whole of New England, leaving out Maine. The greatest depth f tills Inland sea is 2oofathoms,or 1,200 feet; lis average depth is ibout 160 fathoms. It Is O36 feet above sea level.
