There is great deal of .'bosh" be-
ing published In many Republican
newspapers, lead in the west by the
st. Louis Globe Democrat, as to what
Senator Conkling will do in reference
to certain appointments made by Pres
ident Garfield. From the tone ofsome
of the articles referred to, one would
think the President had committed
the objectionable sin-politically-by
nominating one Of his own warm
personal friends for position of honor
and trust, provided that that person
was not also personal friend Of Conk-
ling and what they are pleased to term
the "Stalwarts." President Garfield
has shown in all his nominations and
appointments, that he desires to pre-
serve harmony in the Republican par
ty, by recognizing the factions, giving,
to each important positions. In this
the President has acted wisely, and

sioner, who has just returned from q
trip to the Southwestern part of the
State, favored the Commonwealth with
a pleasant call yesterday. Mr.. Hollo-
way makes rather an encouraging
report as to the condition of the set tiers,
declaring that the restitution in that
portion of the State is not so great as
he had reason to expect. The greatest
need of relief, he declared, exist in the
counties of Pratt and Hodgeman, with
q few cases of destitution in Edwards,
Ford and Stafford counties. The con-
dition of the people in the Southwest
ern part of the State, Mr.. Holloway
declared, is much less deplorable than
it is in those counties bordering on the
Union Pacific railroad, and that it is
in the Northwestern portion of the
State where the bulk of the relief is
needed. we learn from Mr.. Holloway
that, in all, be has shipped, or ordered,
shipped, some ten cars; and that the
expenditure, in various ways, of the
relief fund of $4,000, up to date,
amounts to some $1,000. Commissioned
Holloway will go from here to Atch-
ison, to make some purchases of sup
plies, and designs returning to South
western Kansas in few days.-Com-

should receive the support of the en-
tire party. IF Senator Conkling, OF
any other "stalwart," aspires to btss
the present administration we believe
he is doomed to disappointment While
we recognize the fact that Senator
Conkling is an able man, and one who
has done much for the success of the
Republican party, yet he has not done
near as much for the party as the
party has for him. And if he has be-
come infatuated with the idea that he
is a bigger man than his party, the
sooner he learns his mistake the bet
ter it will be for him and for the Re
publican party. Intolerant, domi-
neering party leaders are not wanted,
AMI what is more, they>will not..be toler-
ated. The Constitution of the United
States makes it the duty of the Presi-
dent and not of Senators, to appoint
persons to certain offices, and we.believe
President Garfield has the ability: and
the nerve to discharge the duties thus
imposed upon him in such manner as
he deems is for the best.

rection in two successive issues of said
paper, he shall not be liable in civil
suit except for actual damages sustain

That the majority in the U. s. Sen
ate have the right to change the
officers of that body so as that they
will be in sympathy with the commit
tees that have been appointed and
the party that will be held responsible
for the action of the Senate, there is
not a particle of doubt; but that the
change is so important as to be worth
the prolonged struggle that it will re-
quire to make it, is question of grave
doubt. And it begins to look as
though our Senators of both parties
are likely to give the people at large
reason to doubt their great wisdom.

Claiming Too Much.

The Robertson-C onkling imbroglio,
which during the past fortnight has so
engrossed the public mind, is causing
on the part of the New York press a
closer examination into the underlying
causes of difference, relative to the be-
stowal of public patronage, now exist
ing between Senator Conkling and the
administration, than has before been
accorded to the subject. Under the
above heading, the New York Tribune
of the I'd inst, editorially thus speaks !:
The claim is made on behalf of Sena-
tor Conkling that he ought to be allow
ed to control, as matter of course, the
appointment of the Collector of the
Port of New York, and that any selec-
ton made by the President for that
post, without the permission of the
Senator, is a species of robbery, a VIC
lation Of his vested rights.
This claim seems to US to rest upon
an entire misrepresentation of the i'm
port lance of the office. Before one of
the Senators of New York can assume
that the COllectOrship belongs to him,
captious people might ask how you
shOW that it even belongs exclusively
to New YOrk;;.and shrewd New York
politicians would be wise not to raise
that question too vociferously. The
Boston Custom House, an infinitely
less important establishment, has new
er been considered the vested property
of the State of Massachusetts,. Frank
lin Pierce appointed Charles Peasely,
of New Hampshire, Collector of BOs-
ton, and Andrew johnson appointed
Hannibal Hanilin, of Maine, to the same
position. The Naval Office of the
Port of Boston, resting upon precisely
the same foundation as the Collector
ship, is nov filled by New Hamp-
shire man, and, il we mistake not, has
been 80 filed ever since Mr.. Lincoln
appointed Amos Tuck in 1861.
If it has been considered proper to
take the officers of this comparatively
small establishment from the whole
extent of the New England States,
with how much reason can one Sena-
tor claim to control the colossal reven-
Ne system represented by our own
great National Custom House. Three
fOurths of the revenue of the Govern
ment are collected here. There is not
State in the Union but is large
ly interested in the administer
ton of this immense trust, and yet
there are people who say that the con-
troll belongs to one gentleman as absO-
lutely as the domestic economy of his
OWL house at Utica. No such conges-
ton of power in the hands of one man
has ever been permitted in this coun-
try, and it would be an evil omen if
the Senate should now sanction pre-
tension 80 preposterous.
