THE snbIotnel Washington dispatch to
tho Euering journal OF this city, following
upon other information that lns been pub
lIslsesl during tho last few weeks, makes It
pretty certain ttfat Secretary Sher1nnn Is
using the Government patronage to further
his personal ambition:
"WAslE1H0roN, b. c., Fab. a.-The charge
TINT Sccrctnry shcrmnn Is using tho patronage
Of the Treasury Department to furthor his can-
d1dacy for tho Presidency has attracted good
deht Of attention and no little comment among
Senators. Ono nf tho most prominent Western
Republican 8enntors sald to your correspondent
that he Ind gono to considerable trouble to act
at tho truth Of these stories, and ho s forced
luctantly 10 admit TINT tlloy wcre we'll founded.
ltc thought It wns d remarkable spectacle TINT
three of tho nlost prominent officials In tho
Treasury Department were engaged Mt this time
trying to usu the influence Of the Department
to MD them In thoir struggle to aecuro higher

pointing only Southern men to otllcc In his De-
partment at this time. Several Northern scnu.

II Secretary Sherman has supposed TINT
he could pursue any such policy without tho
fact becoming known, he Inns probably dis
covered his mistake by this time. II lie now
supposes that he may continue with the pub
lie knowledge to. manipulate the patronage
Of his own Departmentnnl othnr branches Of

THE THIRST FOB PLUMBER,

All bills approprlating money must orig
innto In the House Of Representatives Ut
Congress, and, during the Republican goy-
crnlnent of the House, the rules have pro-
vilcd for Committee on Appropriations, 10
which all bills appropriating money have
been referred for examination, scrutiny, and
revision. The attempt llas been to limit
tho objects Of appropriation TO those pllr-
lloses authorized by existing law. In
this way tho House llas always Ind ono
tribunal to analyzo and l,arlnonlze all the
appropriation, bills. This Committee Inns been
large one. consisting OF fifteen members,
md Inns proved to be one OF tho wIscst md
most etllcaclous Of all the provisions Of the
House TO protect tho Treasury ngulnst Ig1lor-
mt, fraudulent, and extravagant Legislation.
This Committee knew officially all tho items
Of expenditure iii each Of the dozen appro-
priatton bills, and could guare! and wnrn tile
House against any schemes to violate tho law
md to carry corrupt measures.
At tile present session there Inns beon MI
effort to reylso all tic rules Of tho House In
order to make them more effective; to nyoId
parliamentary difficulties, and to conflne up
preparations to mere appropriations, exclutl-
Ing general or partisan Legislation under tic
form OF appropriations. But this revision
OF the rules, Willie in no sense a
parttsan measure, has produced
prolonged and bitter controversy, not be-
tween Republicans and Democrats, but BE-
tween the friends OF unlimited approprla-
tons for oil manner of schemes of plumber
and those who Insist TINT the expenditures Of
