THE WALLACE COMMITTEE.


1t seeps to ~ that the aliase ('see, Teller)
committee have gone into useless Inquiry
The secretary of the Republican committee
has been before them, and has testified that
he raised, for the good of the party during
the tendency of the Congressional elections
last year, the sum of 100000, the major
portion of which amount was derived from
employees of the several departments of the
government. He further testified that in
several of the States the contributions we're
paid directly to the local committees, and as
to their total he had no knowledge. Except
as to the amount, no news is contained in
his statements Every man in the country
knew that these contributions were being
levied, and that, as matter of course, they
were paid. Some stress is made by DEM
ocratic papers upon the fact that the
| action of Mr.. Gorham was in violation
| of the civil service order of Mr.. Hayes. Who
has ever disputed the proposition? From
| the day it was issued till the present time it
has been dead letter, and of no force or
| effect. Everybody understands that the or
der was issued for effect with no purpose of
| enforcing it, and that political assessments
have been made precisely as heretofore,
while federal office-holders have taken as
conspicuous part in conventions and eau
cuses as ever before. Nobody has been de-
luded by the suspicion that that order would
ever be enforced. 1t was issued for bun
| conbe, and everybody has been we'll aware of
the fact.
There are other and more important mat
ters that ought to engage the attention of

Considering Che large number Of special

the average rate of 1878 on the Minnesota
business was very low-much lower, as
shown by the experience of the companies
in the years business than they could af-
ford. True, the losses were extraordinarily
large, on account of the disastrous mill ex
plosions at Minneapolis in May last. But if
these extraordinary losses be deducted from

because Congress has seen fit to submit the

the question submitted to a competent tri-
