1t is no exaggeration to say that three
fourths of the time of the President is occu-
pied in hearing applications for office. The
Cabinet officers, who have limited appoint
ing power, probably employ at least one-half
of their business hours in the same way That
the highest officers of the Government, whose
services the country requires for important
administrative functions should be forced to
devote their thought and effort mainly to the
ambitions and rivalries of place hunters is a
serious evil. What is the remedyf A small
body of eminent and stubborn theorists says
that it is to be found in the establishment of

doctrine has been handed down from old books for
years without, apparently, much recXamination.
There have been, however, a steady growth of
humanity in the general administration Of
criminal law and an Increase of tenderness on
the part Of Government for the lives of even
fragrant offenders, which have undermined its
foundations.
For what is fclony-and what is INSIDE
mcanorl A good deal may be said of the
earlier meanings of the word felony, but, during
the period in which the doctrine prevailed that
an officer might kill resisting escaping fclon,
il had come to be closely associated with capital
punishment. 1t was an offender whose supposed
guilt incurred the death penalty who might
be killed. At one time nearly two hundred
offences in England incurred the punishment of
death. There was then rude logic in treating

the matter be regarded in that light or if the
authority accorded to the officer be regarded as

The restored rates arc on the basis OF ~
cents for grain from Chicago, or Is cents per
bushe for wheat. The drop to 10 cents last
week had some effect upon the prices OF pro-
ducts, which declined cents for wheat and
10 cents for corn, but was much more effec-
tive in the stock market. There it was thought
that general railroad war was inevitable, and
that Mr.. Vanderbilt, being prepared to witness
a decline in prices with composure, would not
allow the contest to cease at present. The ac-
ton taken at the meeting at his house on sat
urday points to different conclusion.f
The Chicago Times published on Saturday
seven columns of reports by telegraph from all
parts of the winter wheat States, which LEAD
it to the conclusion that an immense amount
"of damage was done to the crop by the Sc
"verity of the past season." but that recent
large harvests and high prices " have encour-
"aged the planting of such largely increased
"acreage in most localities as to offset to a
"great extent the injury suffered" and
that, with favorable conditions hereafter,
" the yield is likely to be not much less
" than that of last year." AT this sea-
son, when there is residue of the old
crop to be marketed gloomy tidings from the
farmers are to be expected 1t rarely happens
that n crop does not prove more satisfactory
than the reports of March and April promise.
But it would probably be well for the country
if its yield of wheat should be checked a
little, because there is as yet no reason to sup
pose that Europe will take as much from this
country in 1ss1-'S2 as it has done during
either of the last two crop years. If the de-
mand from abroad should shrink, moderate
Weld would prove n blessing.

The Assembly has passed, and the senate Is
now considering, an extraordinary bill with re-
lation to manufacturing corporations, asynopsis
of which is given elsewhere. 1t might be
defined as a bill providing that no corporation
shall be without receiver. 1t is set forth that
when any person or persons holding one-fourth
or more of the capital stock of corporation
but less than Onc-half, shall believe that lts
affairs are being managed "in the interest OF
"the majority of the stockholders, to the ex-
"clusion of the interest of the minority, IN
"stcad of in the interest of ALL" they may
petition the Supreme Court for the ap-
pointment of receiver. This now
ever, is but the beginning. The re-
ceiver is directed within a month after
his appointment to make an appraisal
of the value of the capital stock,
and announce it. Then the majority OF
the stockholders may by buying the stock OF
the minority purchase the right to control
the transaction of their business, and the re-
ceiver shall be discharged No intelligent man
needs to be told what vast field OF black
mail and stock -jobbing would be opened by
the passage of such law. The mere state
mcnt of its provisions should be sufficient to
defeat it in the Senate.
