A GIGANTIC ANOMALY"

So long as New York city provided q
Health Officer for that port, no one ever
heard a complaint from its press about the
enormous fees realized from the position.
Everything was lovely then. Now the
Governor has appointed Health Officer
from Allegheny county, rural section of the
State and the New York ldH is suddenly
aroused to ask
Can any good reason be given by Republi'
can Legislature why it should allow tho
Health Officer of this port TO enjoy an official
income ranging all tho way from $4,000 to
Sl00,0002 Everybody knows that this extrav-
agant allowance is utterly indefensible. No
other State in the Union would tolerate it,
New York alone boasts Of such monstrous
eNcrcsoenoe. How can Republican orators
stand up before intelligent audiences next
summer aud fall and defend a Republican
Legislature for retaining such gigantic
anomaly.
Through all administrations for tho past
thirty years the Health Office of the port of
New York has been fec office, which has
realized richly to the incumbent These
fees are not paid by the State, but by tho
commerce which enters the port, and
though tho aggregate of fees may have
reached $4,000 or 100000 per onnum, no
upheaval of public sentiment in the city of
New York has demanded any interf erence of
the Legislature with such monstrous ex-
crescence" during all the years in which
this patronage has been in the hands of the
Democrats 1t may be we'll enough for the
Legislature TO revise the fees and thus re-
duce the size Of the plum, but 1t is little
queer that there should be so sudden an
awakening to the subject, simply because
the Health Officer comes fro m the country.
UNDER an arrangement of courtesy and
and reciprocity, the railroads of the country
have to q greater or less extent granted
passes to the editorial fraternity, to requite
services on the part of the press that are not
otherwise compensated. This has led to
some abuses on the part of newspaper men,
which are referred to by the Cincinnati
Gazette in the following pertinent and just
| line of remark
1t seems that some newspaper mon who
| have received passes from railroad companies
have sold them TO scalpcrs or given them Ia
unauthorized persons to use, while Others
have procured free transportation by false
pretenses. To check this the Western Asso-
citation, covering all the territory this side OF
Buffalo, Pittsburg aud Wheeling, has instituted
u black list, on which is ent cred the names
of all persons guilty of the aforementioned
bad faith, and those thus registered will be
denied free transportation on any of the
many roads included in the association. The
transfer Of any pass, trip or season, issued to
anyone by name is held to be guilty of a
crime that cannot be overlooked by any rail
road man or company"

The Washington WOrH is the head and
front of the SHERMAN boom, as is its right
and privilege. We congratulate it on its
eminence, hoping and trusting that the re-
lation may add to its basket and its
"store." THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
through its editorials and its. correspondents,
has uniformly demanded that the official
positions under a Republican Administra-
ton should be held by Republicans until
there were no more Republicans to DO found
qualified TO discharge their duties, Inre-
Spouse to this position the World of the 18th
instant, which has been furnished u.s. says:
For once we are In full accord with The
REPUBLICAN, We believe in that doctrine.
Secretary SHERMAN could do no single act
which would give him so much popularity and
political strength as to do this very thing. lie
should issue in a most solemn and public man
ner a general order requiring all principal
officers controlling patronage TO at once, or as
soon us il can be done without certain detri'
mcnt aud loss to the public service, remove
Democratic oflice.hOlders, aud calling upon
them to appoint or submit for appointment
good, true, stauch, loyal and stalwart Republi.
cans in their places, and good sprnkling of
eE.Uuiou soldiers aud sailors among them
would do no harm, We even think il might
do good.
In war, ii the enemy commit q great out
rage, retaliation has been found to be the
most speedy as well as tho most effective
method of correction. The Democratic
party in the Legislative branch of tho Ma
tonal Government, aud in all State Govern
ments they have obtained control Of have
turned out tho last man and woman, even to
spittoon cleaners and scrub'women, not spar
ing tho SCARED aud manned Union soldier,
or patient, untiring nurse by whose yaor,
services and sacrifices, they have left Gov
eminent at all.
We have an undoultcd right to remove

KINGSVILLE.

As yon learned from my telegram last
week, the grocery aud hardware store Of
Kinnear & Curiiss, in which is the post Of
fee, presided over by Miss Mary Kinnear,
was entered by burglars on Wednesday
night last, and money to the amount Of
about one hundred dollars taken. They
first broke into the planning mill Of A. n.
Case & Son, where they procured brace,
two bits, and two chisels, which wrre prob
ably nsed in forcing an entrance into the
store, and were found there in the morn
ing. They then gained admittance into
the tin shop by boring a hole in the door
large enough to admit the hand, to raise
the hook with which it was fastened on the
inside. From the tin shop they had 10
force their way through two doors before
reaching the salesroom where the safe was
kept. The safe was blown open, and all
the money and stamps taken, but no pa.
papers. On the same night horse and
buggy was stolen from the barn Of Jess
Hammond, at North Kingsville, and was
found the next morning near the lime
kiln at Ashtabula depot. Up to the pres
ent time no clue to the burglars has been
obtained.

stating that they began using it without
any faith that it would cure spavins, but
