Prescription in the senate.

prescription in the Senate.
The Maine Standard. The Repub,
licans, having gained control Of the
Senate of the United States by a trade
with Malone of Va, propose to make
a clean sweep ofthe subordinate Of.
fees of that body, and FIJI their places
exclusively with republicans
species of political prescription new
er practiced to that extent in the
previous history of that branch Of
Congress. When the Democrats OBJ
tanned control of the Senate two years
ago they did not discharge every Re.
publican, but simply equalized the
Offices between the two parties-re;
tanning as many Republicansas they
put in Democrats. And against the
removal Of any of the officers by the
Democrats at that time, the Repub.
llcan Senators protested as an inva1
sion Of the usage and practice of that
body, not to remove its subordinate
officers for partizan reasons. The
Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post contrasts the proposed
proscriptive policy Of the Republic
cans with the commendable and gen.
erous conduct of their opponents in
1879, when the latter had large
majority in the. Senate, The pay
roll Of the Senate shows that forty
three of the officers and employees Of
the last Republican Senate were re-
tanned by the Democrats, and these
have ever since been drawing their
regular salaries, OF this number,
four are Democrats aud thirty.stne
are Republicans. The salaries of the
four Democrats aggregate $500, and
the salaries Of the thirty-nine Repub,
licans aggregate s54,705. In add.
ton, their are eight other employees
whom the Democrats inherited from
the Republicans and kept in office
for nearly two years, with annual
salaries amounting to $500. This
sum being added to s54, 705, gives an
aggregate of s65,605, paid annually
to Republican officers and employees
by Democratic Senate. The
amount paid to Democratic officers
and employees during the same period
annually is but S69,95S. A glance
ut the pay roll also shows that the
Republicans were allowed to retain
some of the very best and most lu
cratiyc Offices under the Secretary of
the Senate and sergeant-at-Arms,
and they draw within few ,hous.
and dollars as much pay as the Dem
ocrats. Including the list of irregu.
lars, or persons employed Temporal.
rily during the year, who are chiefly
blacks, the sum paid to Republicans
would exceed that paid to the Dem.
ocrats.

Of place for them holding as they do

The flaming season this year com
menced late. The harvest was most
beautiful if it could have been har-
vested in good time. Hands We're
scarce; railroad construction gave en-
ployment to thousands who other
wise would have been in the harvest
field. Farmers with their teams We're
working on the railroads. There was
a scarcity of labor in the harvest
field; teams were scarce; the thresh-
ers were running short handed heavy
rains set on unusually early, deluging
the cut grain and running much.
There has been unavoidable delays
in completing the railroads which
were projected to carry off this sea-
sons crop. We are to-day without
connection with the outside world.
The best we can do ut present is to
haul our grain to points on the river
and wait for connection to be made.
