E30AY, M.1ECH SO. 1893. . VA»«LYKE Editor. etary Carlisle's order forbidding ^llllordin&tes to make public any_ tg to the condition of the ttmmrf may have been issued with good Intentions, bat its effect is to create suspicion that there is, or is to be, s6mothing that must be hidden. ISF* On the Elgin Board of trade on Jav, batter took a jump above last l's price of 28 cents; at 30 cent*. 11^200 pounds sold, at 30% cents 2,700 pounds. Total sales, f2,978. The laarfeet was active; bids opened at 28 cents; last year's prices were 2&@28% . MfTbe late Senator Logan oone said Of Mr. Cleveland: "He is a man courage­ ous for the destruction of his friends and one who might be a coward before a powerful |nemy." Hundreds of men who ttaveboeQJus friends know the truth of the first $Rrt of this opinion, but if h« be a coward it Ik yet to be proven. 'It is well known that many re­ publican members of the state militia TOted for Altgeld on the ground thai FSfer had used his aopointing power' in efttinection with the organization for personal political purposes. Ho* do tftose republicans like the way Altgeld i? earning partisanship into the stat< militita. . tar All of the male citizens of Georgia not in Washington, as might be sup­ posed from a casual glance at the metro­ politan newspapers. Three of them--all members of the Hogg family--celebrated their remaining at home by starting a vendetta by shooting D. J. Shippy full of holes. Shippy is dead but the Hoggs are still grunting. SSrlstQttigsBt observer so! current events will not be misled by the invest!' gation now going on at the Joliet prison. It is a mere "stop thief" cry, under cover of which the Altgeld regime intend to make away with nearly a half million of dollars for new machinery plants, where­ by the labor of the convicts will be more completely thrown against free labor outside than at present. l9*The Democratic attempt to make the Republicans responsible for the real billion congress is characteristic, bat it will not succeed. Even Mr. Holman is not equal to the task. The figures prove that the Democratic congress spent nearly 140,000.000 more than its Re­ publican predecessor, and such figures as these are stubborn things to deal with. The wisest course for our Democratic friends is to acc the responsibility, and not try to shift it to other people's shoulders. 1ST Washington churches understand the value of advertising. One of them announces that it has Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland for attendants, another Mr. aad Mrs. Stevenson; and the old pew In which President Lincoln used to sit has been put back in the church from which it was years ago removed and the fact fully advertised. I^For a party that has jnst met de­ feat the Republican party is in remarka­ bly good spirits. It went down on a principle that it believes to be right and that it believes will be justified by events. It has but to await with patience the re­ action which will surely come. The call for the national league of Republican dabs to meet at Louisville has a note of confidence in it that means ultimate vic­ tory. ^^i-iiii<iiiii^^ IV Here is more cause for grief among the hungry and thirsty horde of Illinois democratic office-seekers. Henry C. Bell, named by the president for second deputy commissioner of pensions, is 8 native of this state but for the last eight ye*rs he has been a clerk in the pension office at Washington. He will, probabh be accredited to Illinois along with Gresham and Oberly and thus tbr Chances for genuine Illinois democrat* reaching the public crib are decreased. MP* A bill has been introduced in the Illinois legislature providing that no one but a licensed attorney shall be eligible to the office of justice of the peace, shall receive^ salary of f400 per annum and 50 cents additional for every case brought before him. If this bill becomes a law a great many small towns will be without a justice of the peace, as licensed attorneys are not found in all the small villages. We are Iri favor of paying sal­ ary, but wo are opposed to barring but licensed attorneys from becoming justices of the peace. 19"The many intimations given ont- restricting the qualifications for appoint­ ment are evidently for the purpose of keeping office seekers away from Wash­ ington. The "organized appetite for spoils," as a distinguished mugwump once described the Democratic party, has made an onslaught which has appalled the Democratic administration and made it put up barriers to protect itself. Bnt what a comment on American independ­ ent manhood is this thirst for office. To be asked to take a position of trust in a government of the people is a high honor but the greedy seeking for it as a means of livelihood robs the place of all honor when it is secured. The very worst thing that can happen to a young man is to get the idea of depending on a govern­ ment position for support. Having once becomo so dependent, he is good for nothing. He becomes a helpless, subser­ vient being, incapable of creating ft fu­ ture for himself. 'Mr. Cleveland is winning great credit by not doing anything his part? «tpected him to do. He will save him •elf, bat it is aqaestion what uill beconw of the party that elected him. He seems to have neither fear for enemies noi gratitude for friends. How he got then does not bother him. That he is there if BOffieiest for him. From one point o< •iew this is commendable, bat as tb> world goes ingratitude is not reckoned n •irtue. Mr. Cleveland's position evident w that he did enoagh in consenting *0 be madepresident. W" Sometime since Cleveland an­ nounced that poor men would have th» best of it in the matter of appointment*-, remarks the S tree tor Free Press. If thev do it will be in the number of tourth clap- poatofficcs which will be given to them, fpr the good fat jobs are going to th« millionaires with a remarkable rapidity .-'.-.Cleveland's former administration had » jstriknig smell of coal oil about it. Th« present one bids fair to the much morf "refined." It will be a "Wall street" af lair unless the present tactics are sudden­ ly reversed. But it will be reversed, probably, after all the'desirable places *re given out. Mankind has, been waiting for a century for the advent of the flying machine, and the great majority have believed that it would sometime be an accomp'iehed fact, notwithstanding many scientists have said it was an im­ possibility. Marvels of invention in this age are so common that one is prepared for almost anything, and scientists have so often been proved wrong in their theories by practical demonstration that the pub­ lic has not much faith in their predic­ tions. But here is a scientist connected with the Smithsonian institute, Prof. Langley, who has a theory the other way and thinks he has made it practical. He has made a working model of a machine which he thinks will fly. It is built after the plan of a fish, with engines in the head, boilers fed by gasoline in the stomach and fuel stored in the tail. The frame work is constructed almost entire­ ly of that light, strong metal, aluminum, *nd the skin is ot asbestos. It is not re­ ported that the thing has as yet done any fiying, but the inventor believes it ought to fl/.

A trill has been introduced pro­ viding a fine of not less than $20 nor Snore than $100 lor each offense in the ; sale or manufacture of cigarettes. The bill states that "the description 'cigar ette' shall be deemed to include all prep­ arations of tobacco soaked in nicotine or impregnated with opium, stramonium, , belladonna, alcoholic liquor, valerian, tonic of bean, mellolatis, or any other I cultural Department, Robinson, of Mich Oar Berular Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C. March 25,1893. There is, just one class of people in Washington who are satisfied with the ituation. They are the hotel keepers, f bey nnmber perhaps a score, while the many thousand •* of office seekers are in­ tensely dissatisfied and the tens of thous- vnds of office holders are intensely toxious. So on the whole the hotel Keepers, although vastly ia the minority, have the best of it and will have as long is the money of the office seekers holds >ut. The cause of the anxiety of the office loldersandof the disgust of the office eekers can be readily recognized in the act that the third week of President Cleveland's administration closed with >nly a score of appointments of impor­ tance made. The total number, includ­ ing post offices, is but half a hundred There have been justenough to make the office holders uneasy, and the character of the selections have been sufficient to make the office seekers more uneasy than the office holders. Scarcely a man who has asked for anything has been success­ ful. Aside from a few ex-members of Congress-who had been laid aside ae "back numbers" by the people the se­ lections for the offices thus far filled are unknown men and are men inexperienced in public affairs. The first assistant Secretary of State, Quincy of Massachu­ setts, the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, who is the most important officer of that department, Maxwell, of New York; the Solicitor for the Depart­ ment of State, Dabney, of Virginia; the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury, Holcomb, of Delaware; the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Lamoreux, of Wis­ consin, and the Statistician of the Agri- aiiu Indian agents and most of the torn Oflbers under the Trssmry ment have a four years term. leaves simply the internal revenueofflcers the special »gents of theTrsasnry Depart ment and the small postmasters aoont the only officers, outside of those pro­ tected by civil service rules, who have not a four years term, and are thus liable to removal at any time. As a conse­ quence there are very few appointments being made and very few likely to be mHde for some months. Most of the men now holding these four years posi­ tions were commissioned after the meet­ ing of the regular session of congress in 1880 aad 1"00 aad as a consequence their terms v*ill not expire until the very last days of the present year and many of th»tn not until some time in 1894. This reduces very greatly the chances of the people who had been hoping to get into these offices at once, while the Pres­ idents adhesion to his determination not to reappoint men who served under him before, reduces still more the chances of success anionic those seeking for places. The three positions which seem to be giving Mr. Cleveland the most anxiety are the Pension 4'ommissionership, the Internal Revenue Comminsionership and the position of Public Printer. The Pen­ sion office is responsible for the proper distribution of over one hundred and fifty million dollars a year, the Commis­ sioner of Internal Revenue is responsible for the collection of an equal sum and the Public Printer is responsible for the conduct of the biggest printing estab­ lishment in the world. It is not remark­ able therefore that the President is giv­ ing the selection of these three men very careful consideration. And it sewmH quite probable that he will give the coun­ try and the men who are asking for these places some surprises by selecting men for the positions who have not been here­ tofore considered in connection with them. Nothing is definitely known as to how much longer the Senate will remain in session but it is presumed that another week will probably end the special session Nothing can be accomplished aside from the confirmation of appointments and it is understood that Cleveland expects to send in during the coming week all th»> names that it is absolutely necessary should be confirmed before congress comes together for its regular round of duties. The impression still prevails that an extra session of congress will be called. ?ersl people who have consulted the President upon matters having a bear­ ing upon the meeting of congress have formed the opinion that this course would be adopted. There is one special reason for an eorly session and that is to take action upon the question of annex­ ation of Hawaii. Commissioner Plount, who has been sent over there to see whether he can find any ground on which to pick flaws with the Harrison adminis­ tration will be back in May or June and it is felt that if anything is to be done in the way of annexation it will be scarcely safe to leave the matter open until De­ cember. Hence the probability of an extra session in September. Besides Sec­ retary Carlisle expects to have a new tariff bill shaped up by that time and the President is anxious to set congress to work upon his pet project of revising the tariff. Another reason why he wants an extra session is in order that he may utilize the power over members of con­ gress which the unfilled offices give him in dictating their course on the silver question.

The most widely known of the men who have been appointed are ex-Confederate General Wade Hampton, and ex-Confederate, ex- Senator Fastis. It is not Burprieing therefore that the Northern Democrats who have borne the burden and heat of the day are dissatisfied. The President stands firmly up to his originally exprensed determination of only filling the offices after the terms of the present occupants haveexpired. This of course does not apply to the few posi­ tions of extreme or confidential imnor- tHnce, such as assistants to the cabin t officers, or the diplomatic appointmett«, hut in the great mass of places to be filled he undoubtedly intends to permit, the present occupants to serve out their term. A very large proportion of the offices are appointed for a term of four years.
