Mr.. Warner Miller, of New York,
republican, was making a speech on
civil service reiorm in the senate, the
other day. whea this pertinent colloquy
occurred. Mr.. Miller yielding tor a
moment to Mr.. Mcpherson the latter
said 1.-The senator inquiries whether
the democratic party would be willing
to discharge the thousands OF soldiers
now employed in the service of the
government. I ask him If the state
msut made by the senator from Ohio
the other day be true-sud.I take it for
granted 1t is true, and he knows what
he is talking about-that LOO people
are employed in the treasury depart
ment alone for whom there is no bust
ness, performing no duty, but drawing
pay. Does the senator from New York
suppose that the democratic party or
any other honest party in this country
would continue them in place because
they were soldiers To which Mr..
uAlll0E GOPlloOs- 6uOulu uORo uOLs
That is one OF the evils of which We are
complaining that is one of the reasons
given why it is necessary to reform the
civil service. l have given my reasons
for stating that men are pushed upon
the departments whom the departments
do not need; that men are kept in the
service whom the departments would
be glad to get rid of. but they cannot
do 1t because OF the pressure which the
Legislative branch of this government
brings upon the SERVICE" When Sena-
tor Cockrell in his Usually terse style
touched the marrow of the subject by
saylng:-"Will the senator permit me
to ask who brings the pressure to bear?

Our contemporary acRnO Wedges
thati it does not know the condition of
the city's finances. but still insists
that three policemen, at an expense
of $50 per month each, shall be re-
tanned in the employ of the city. Nc
one questions the fitness Of the pres
cut oficers, but MI. Ahrens, a couple
of months ago, showed III a report,
that the revenue of the city would do
very little more than pay the officers
salaries. as now apportioned, leaving
practically nothing for improvements
aud repairs. The city register at the
last meeting reported that the fiscal
year's'revenue had already been spent,
with SIX months still to provide for.
The charter and the constitution both
forbid the expenditure, directly or indi,
rectly, of more than the revenue per-
mitted by express stipulation. There
fore. it is utterly impossible to pay
these officers, and we do not think it
is right to employ them. Whatever
revenue may come in from sources not
reported, or from increased licenses,
will be absorbed by the salaries of
officers who are positively provided
by existing law. All this is bad. Our
contemporary blindly says there must
have been extravagsnce somewhere.
Well, where? The intimation ia not
just. The trouble lies in the six
thousand dollars Of last years reve-
nue. which the obstlnacy Of Mayor
John and Mr.. Turner prevented the
city from collecting. aud 10 the fact
that our city machinery is too expen-
sive. There ia but one remedy, and
that is to cut down the number of
officers, and to reduce the expen-
SEES of the city government. MIR.
Tanbman preserved the. peace of the
city when he was marshal with one
assistant. the c%aiaboose keeper, and
it can be done again. For all cases Of
felony the county officers are OH the
GROUND, aud less offemses the marshal
aud Ii policeman should be able 10
take carr of. We are not making a
raid on the policemen. Far from it.
We like both land regret that the
city is not justified in employing
them. but MS we view the matter, e v n
if citizens should be called OH TO form
a volunteer police, that would be
better than Involving the city in
financial difficulties, as the present
course must certainly do.

THE HOG LAW.

Was the hog law legally adopted
in Lafayette county by the vote Of
The apparent majority was so great
that, so far. despite discussion Of the
this does not to have
been questioned; but there is very
grave doubt about 1t.
The vote for restraining swine from
running at large was, 2,542; the vote
against was, 1,705; majority of votes
cast, on this question, in favor of re-
strsinlng swine from running at large,
s37.
On the supposition that this ma
jority carried the law the county
court has made proclamation that Oh
aud after sixty days from the general
election the law will 60 into effect.
This will be on Monday, January 8.
as the 7th is Sunday.
But the position is taken by the
circuit court, in the case Of Bates
county, that it takes a majority
of the votes cast at the election to
carry the law. This is q very differ
ent thing. The Linneus Bulletin
quotes the Plattsburg Lever as saying
that tho attorney-general has declar'
ed that to be his view of the law. The
language of the law is plain enough.
1t says. sec. 7,4e8 :-"If a majority of
votes cast at any such election shall
be for restraining swine from run
ming at large, then swine shall not be
allowed to run IT large In such coun-
ty."
If Judge Gantt's decision in the
Bates county case is sustained by the
supreme court how will 1t affect La
fayette cou.ty2
The total number of votes cannot
be obtained by adding up the vote,
for different candidates, simply be-
cause many voters vote for only a part
Of the Offices. The vste cast is the num-
Der of ballots cast which . only be
determined from the names as they
appear upon the poll books. This
number We took pains, yesterday, to
ascertain. 1t Is 1901. Half of this il
2.545 IL. To be q majority of oil the
votes cast the vote in favor Of re-
strsining swine would have to be
greater than this. 1t was 2.542, con.
sequeutly votes less, and 4 votes
less than would be necessary to secure
a bare majority OF half q vote.
Judge Can't did not pass upon the
constItutionality Of the law. 81
How this state Of facts will operate
in this county we cam 1t now posi-
lively say. The law has been put int
force here under proper forms. anc
will have to be obeyed until set asid'
legally. The supreme court may no
sustain Judge CAN'T, but as there ar

hoped that an early decision may be
reached.
