There has been much unnecessary dis
cnssiou over tho !" Ohio clerks business.
There are, It seems, a large number Of per
SONS employed in thp Government Offices at
Washington who wont there from Ohio.
Every clerk In Washington has, VIC believe.
n vacation Of one month In eauh year, during
which his pay In continued. During the last
eight or ton years, under tho rather FREQ md
easy working Of the Civil Service, clerks had
m additional turlough Of ten days. or even
longer, to 60 hon,s and vote at tho fall eloc-
tions. Tho Ohio clerks this year
have ctairaed tho right to 30 homo
md voto as usuni. Nr. scHuaz has
mus1e tho ruie TINT In his Depart
ment tho clerks may 90 homo for that
purpose, but during t,eir absence their pay
shall be stopped. Tint Is the proper and
tho only just ru1o In accepting Government
service ut Washington these clerks did so
with the disability Of absence from their
usual home. They have no lawful or cquita-
bio claim Oh tho Governmont FOR couspensa-
tion while absont on their privato bus1neBa.
Voting is not duty pertaining to the Offices
which these men hold, and, II tue men ara

are protected by duty OF GO
per cent, levied on all imported silks. THIS
lax, with the premiums on gota, freight, In

protection equal to IL per cont currency.
Tho enormity Of this tax invites iraud aud
false awearing; It offers large rcward for
smuggling. It permits the expenditure, say,
Of a5 per cent to cover the cost Of smuggling
Or other frauds, and leaves margin Of 40
per cent profit. When tho amugglcd gooas

ton only to produce revenue, the
remedy for this business Is 70 zodhco
