Of the appropriations, is unfound-

George William Curtis, in Har-
pers Weekly, began AN article OH
the New York appointments in the
following vigorous manner: "The
president has made a great mis-
take. In nominating certain per-
sons to be attorneys and mar
shals for New York ne declared
that in his judgment they were
fitted for the posts to which they
were designated. He then with
drew the nominations, apparently
not because he had discovered that
he was deceived, but because he
supposed that another nomination
might be defeated. The with
drawal of these nominations
throws doubt and suspicion upon
the executive action. 1t sug-
gests that they were not made
for the benefit of the service, but
for some other purpose, and it
raises question whether all other
nominations have been deter
mined by the same considerations"

The response Of Mr.. Commis-
sioner Bogue to the outcry OF the
anti-monopoly league Of Chicago,
dismissed the subject effectively.
The greatest affiiction Of the
league is the same as that under
which Mr.. Window labored in his
New York speech. He did not
understand what he was talk
ing about. Men who hold
the notion that railway pool
ing has for Its object an
increase of railway tariffs are
simply victims of a delusion.
The object has no relation to the
public, or to railway dealings with
the public, but is limited, even by
the interest of the companies, to
their dealings with each other.
When granger Legislators or anti
monopoly leagues can show by
facts that pooling among railways
has effected an advance of rates,
it will be a good time to enter
complaints against practice which
has done more TO remove railway
abuses than all the regulative
legislation of all the Legislative
assemblies in the country
Among the plentiful grounds for
public complaint or abuses in rail-
way administration, the pooling OF
railways is not one.
