THE Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks has been
interviewed upon the topics of the hour
and among other suggestions of policy he
proposes to put an end to the so-called po.
litical assessments by cutting down the pay
of the clerks The Hon. Thomas Is of the
opinion that If haply he should meet foot
pad on an unfrequented road and the foot
pad should present horse-pist0l at his
head with an injunction to stand and de-
liver, he, the Hon. Thomas, would take
the matter under advisement that is to
say, he would take account Of stock, and if
he had more money about him than he
actually needed to keep body and soul to-
gether, he would cheerfully fork over the
surplus; but If he had only enough TO buy
his breakfast the next morning he would
defy the enemy.
Thus when tho Hon. Thomas declares
that political assessment is form of high
way robbery and then gravely proposes to
prevent the offense by depicting the re-.
sources of the victim, it is not altogether
too much to say that he is, rs it were, max
ing an ass Of himself. However, we can
easily comprehend that the Hon. Thomas
was not serious about this. lie knows as
well as we do or anybody else that politi-
cal assessments are not highway robbery in
any form, but that they are simply one
among many devices whereby an associa
citation Of men organized for specific pur.
pose, bring to bear their resources to the
accomplishment thereof.
No matter what the theory may be, the
facts stand that an office under the Gov
crnment Is valuable thingi that it affords

IT MAY not be generally known, but it Is
fact, that the clause in the current Army
Appropriation bill providing for the reduc-
tion Of supernumerary officers creates sort
of purchase system in commissions. That
is to say, it fixes money value upon each
rank and authorizes tho Government to
buy out any officer who desires to sell. 1t
is understood that among those contem-
plating to take the benefit Of this act is
Major Thomas F. Barr, supernumerary in
the Bureau of Military Justice. Major Barr
has figured out the value of his commission
under the provision referred to and finds
that it is a trife less than $4,000. On the
whole we don't know but the Government
could afford to get rid of Major Barr even at
that price. He has managed, through his as
cendancy over the unsuspecting young man
who draws the salary of the Secretary of
War, to raise good deal more than 900
worth of hell in the Army during the past
year and a-half. If there was any way to
buy the Secretary's commission, and put in
his place man of stronger mind, il would
accomplish the same result, and perhaps in
more desirable way. But rs this is i'm
practicable, we sec no way out of the diff
Guilty except to negotiate with Major Barr.
When man is found in place of prac-
tically absolute power, who is capable of
reversing decision based upon law, justice
and mercy simply because he personally
dislikes the man who made the decision,
we think it is time to 60 to work on him
in enmn shane OF Course Iva rnfar IN tho
Mason case, in which Barr took it upon
him to induce the Secretary to ignore
Judge Advocate General Swaim's opinion,
for no better reason than that he (Barr)
did not like Swain personally. He should
be bought out. He ought to be drummed
out

THE vile and venal Times is much exercised
over the great question whether ex-senator
Conkllng, In the exercise OF his privileges as
an American citizen and an adult, did or did
not visit Mr.. jay Gould Mt Irvington. II OK
Senator Conkling did visit Mr.. jay Gould Mt
IrvinRton, II may be safely assumed, In the
first place, that no did not go thoro to solicit
with many genufloxions and much adulation
subscription of $25,0 10 fund raised nomi.
nally for the bone1tOf General Grant, and In
the second place, that II ho had solicited such
n subscription he would not havo refused sub
sequently 10 account for tho use made OF It, or
spent the interest OF tho sum in llttlo trips to
Europe.-NeW York World.
The burden of this story is that George
Jones, ex-peddler Of the vilcst of obscene
literature, now editor and chief owner of
the New York Times, collected subscrip-
tion of $250,000 ostensibly for General
Grant, but which he has so far retained in
his own hands without rendering any ac'
count to General Grant or to the subscrib-
ers to the fund.
Not to mince matters, the idea that tho
World conveys is that George Jones, as
above described, is thief, and, what makes
it worse for George Jones, the World ap-
pears to establish that fact beyond cavil.

Will They Escape t?
THE Republican of this morning contains
the following information:

the following information:
"a private letter received In this city from
Ta2ewell, Tenn. gives an account OF the recent
shooting OF Mr.. Andrew Shipley, prominent
Republican OF that place, by Need Cottrell, In
the postoiflce. The writer of the letter says
that the man Need Cottrell shot Mr. Shipley
because the latter had shouted for a Republi-
can candidate on election day. There is a
movement on foot, tho writor states, to have
the case tried In the United States court, as
the Judge Of tho State Court lisa Democrat"
The important part of this information is
the statement that "a movement is on foot
to have the csse tried in the United States
Court, as the Judge of the State Court is
Democrat !"
This reminds one of the days Of Recon-
struction. The Constitution, the laws and
innumerable decisions say that the United
States Courts can have no jurisdiction in
cases of this kind unless the person killed
was United States officer and slain in the
discharge of his duty.
But perhaps it is implied in all these au-
thorities that the Judge of the State
Court" wherever the offense occurred,
must be not "a Democrat" but Repub-
ican, in order to give due effect to the law
organic as well as statutory! On no other
hypothesis is the alleged "movement"
which is said to be "on foot " conceivable.
Our own impression, however, is much
simpler than all that. We presume that
the writer of the "private letter" from
which the Republican derives its informa-
tion, is an ass. That is doubtless the only
rational conclusion. But we are astonished
to see such absurd rot published in jour-
nal pretending to dignity of tone and con-
seryatism in statement.

livelihood; that IL is tho gift of n party;
that ifthc party were not in power it could
not give offices; that If IL were suddenly
thrust out Of power those who hold Offices
by its gift would lose them and be forced
into new and probably less pleasant lines oil
bread. winning; that money is an import
ant agency toward keeping the party IN
power; and finally, that because OF all
these practical facts the so-callcd assess
ment is simply so much premium which
the oilico.hOlder pays on supposed policy
of insurance upon his tenure.
This is the matter'of.fact view of the
whole question, and all theories set up
adverse to it are either Utopian or hyper
critical. If we were going to criticise the
assessment business we should proceed
upon quite another line. We should not
assail the morality of the thing itself,
but should point out tho fact that the
contract implied in the transaction is
habitually dishonored by the payee,
which is the party or its managers. sup
pose A holds an office and b is party
manager. b calls upon A for two per
cent. OF his salary to help keep the party
in power A pays with the understand
ing that tho keeping of tho party in
power means the Keeping OF himself In
Office. This is the natural, logical ana,
in fact, the equitable sequence.

THE Star, best known as the Ecening
Yesterday, talks of villifying juries. The
twelve men who are to pass upon the
pending case are among the most respecta-
Bile people in Washington. Their charac-
ters are beyond reproach. How do the
twelve jurors like this "villifcation"
which was published originally in the
most corrupt paper in New York George
Jones' Times excepted) and which is in
dorsed by being copied into the Star. 1t.
plain intimation, indorsed by the Star,
that the jury is liable to bribery.
VIII They Escape?
From the New York Sun, To-day.
1t has not been our expectation that tho
Star-Routo men would be convicted. They
are 30 powerful, their relations are extern
siYe, their hold upon tho grand old party Is
so tenacious, and they possess 30 much
''soap,' that their escape Is TO be expected.
Yet as the trial has proceeded the case against
them has been seen TO be stronger and
stronger, while the prosecution has been con-
Quoted without any mercy toward them. And
now, as II is near Its conclusion, II becomes
plain that their only hope OF escape lies in the
corruption of the jury. II there is q venal
Juryman In the panel, they may buy him. II
there is not, how can they avoid the rctribu-
tion OF Justice

umn, first page,'of Wednesdays .star. No
such insult was ever offered Washington

Wales Correspondence.

MR.. EditoR--Seeing your paper re-
ferred to in other papers | write for a
sample and also to communicate a
little. Like all the rest of this region
of country we have suffered awfully
from heavy rains through haying and
harvest, which are otherwise good.
Fruit to is good and quite plentiful in
places. The high water washed out
several bridges which will be rebuilt
after harvest. The Comfy House at
Goodies is well kept and managed by
Jas VanSlyke. 1t has about forty in
mates. The r.. r. station there don't
seem to be building up much but the
people near Wales Centre expect a
depot or station on the new line from
Port Huron to Almont which will be a
large town in few years. What is
wanted here most is good grist mill.
Two or three sites are spoken OF or
offered ard the enterprsing builder
who will come and start first will
doubtless win the day.
With Respect, STEEL PEN.

OLD PEACH TREEs.-Henry Nor
timer gave some facts at a meeting
of the Kankakee, ILL.,, horticultural
society on the age of peach trees.
A cultivator, now 81 years old,
whose statements were regarded as
entirely reliable, said that Seeding
peach tree came up on his fathers
farm in Maryland and is alive yet.
Mrs. Decker, at the same meeting,
said she planted peach trees on a
farm in the state of New York 80
years ago, which are now living and
bearing. Maj. Williams said there
was a row of peach trees on his
fathers farm in New York, planted
over so years ago, and some are
still living and bearing. He saw
peach trees in the remains of an old
Indian orchard in western New York
many years ago, the trunks of which
measured fully one foot in diameter,
which must have counted many
years.---ve,cs.
