and Bliss' PeequIntss.
In the U. 8. Senate yesterday, in speak.
ing to the pending business the bill ex-
cluding public lands in Alabama from the
operation Of the laws relating to mineral
lands, Mr.. Van Wyck criticised tho large
compensation allowed to the special at
torneys engaged in the Star Route cases,
and the department of justice in allowing
such large amounts. He had hoped that
the stories which were told at the street
corners as to the extravagances of tho de-.
partment were not true. Taking up the
vouchers of George Bliss, he ridiculed the
charges made therein, quoting such items
as "fifty cents for sleeping-car porter
and +" five cents for stamp" The vouch-
ers showed that he was allowed $50 day
and expenses.
Mr.. Merrick, another lawyer, received
even larger per diem, but, as he lived
in Washington, the vouchers did not
show that he charged for board. It was
perfectly plain now why these suits con-
tinued as long as they did-six months
trial in an ordinary case. 1t was an in
ducement to these men to continue a suit
six months. and also q temptation to them
to hang the jury, if it was true they did.
He did not say that they did. That the
courts for tho administration of justice in
the District of Columbia should be occu-
pied for six months in a common case,
was an outrage which ought not to be tol-
Grated. No greater outrage had ever been
connected with the Jurisprudence of any
country than that which had been exhibit.

why Howgate had the prison doors opened

was only under obligation to punish Re
publican thieves, of course Howgate got
off. Without any doubt these perform

4 BAD YEAR FOR RAILROAD
ORGANS


Leavenworth Times: Advices from
Topeka show that the railroads have
concluded that it is not paying policy
to advance in the neighborhood of ST.
coo a month to pay the losses of the
Capital; furthermore that the Ill-ieeling
that has been brewing within the pa
per itself has finally eliminated, Henry
King, editor-in-chief, and John Coulter,
associate editor, retiring, and ]. K. Hud-
son assuming editorial and business con.
troll. Tho public confession is made
that the concern has been losing several
thousand dollars annually-though all
newspaper men know that the loss has
been about the sum we have stated
81 900 a month. The early editions
have been abandoned, the night editor
discharged, and an annual saving OF
$500 is promised. and frantic effort
is TO be made to put the paper on pay,
ing basis.
The trouble with the Capital has been
that it has been notorious from the start
that It was the organ Of the railroads
and a. such the people have never had
the slightest confidence in anything il
has said or done II has been painfully
evident that there was behind Captain
King all the time a power whose CON-
mands he dared not disobey; and this
fact has made itself prominent in the
manifest effort with which so many OF
his editorials were involved. Under
these circumstances no other result
could have been expected. The rail.
roads have evidently seen their blunder,
and hereafter by strict economy in the
Capitals management, they will not be
called upon SO often to make up dc.
ficiencies.

NJ. V. B. Bennett, the talented Editor

THE PosTMAsTER GENERAL.

4 LII 4 0O4 n <1zJ1 IN UELN n k16k<.
Globe Democrat: Postmaster Gen.
eraI Howe's death yesterday occurred
unexpectedly TO the public, though it
has been known for some time in Wash
ington that his health was failing. Sec
Rotary Folger's illness has overshadow-
ed that Of Judge Howe's for several
reasons. The late postmaster general
won his first spurs by lighting on the
Wisconsin stump for the abolition of
southern slavery, and became a proml-
nent figure before the country at large
in the United States senate. where ne
sat for three terms from 1861 to 1879.
He was borne at Livermore, Me, Feb
ruary "A. 1916. E. B. Washburne, by
the way. was borne in the same town
the same year. Howe was educated in
one Of the common schools which have
made New England SO famous, studied
Law and was sent 70 the legislature at
20. In 1915 or 1916 he removed TO Wis
consin, got into politics, was elected to
the bench in 1859, and served thereon
for five years. The rest Of his public
life was spent in the senate, and in the
last year and half in President Ar.
thurs cabinet.
Mr.. Howe was not brilliant, but con-
sentative and cautious. The Wisconsin
Republicans tied up to him as "safe''
man, while they admired, not Howe
but his talented, though cratic, col
league, Matt CARPENTER. Carpenter had
the stuff which makes popular idols
Howe had not. Howe, like most sue
cessful politicians, was not overscrupu.
lous in the choice of means for getting
ahead, provided only he did get ahead
and Of late years he has rather lost hii
hold on Wisconsin people and on public
affairs. Any man who does not keer
ahead of the times very soon gets behind
them.
In the postofiee department Mr
Howe has never been more than figure
head. Assistant Hatton has run The
machine, and, for that matter, received
most of the credit. Tue Iowa statesman
would not object to being made the
nominal as well as the real head of thl
concern, but President Arthur is likely
to think twice before giving Mr.. HattoI
or any other man Mr.. Howe's seat at tn,
council table.

FRANR BATToU

One Of our own distinguished citi-
zens, Col. John A. Martin, has been
mentioned for the vacancy in the cabi-
net caused by the death OF Hon. Timothy
o. Howe. The people OF Kansas would
feel honored with Col. Martins promo
ton to so important a place. II it Is
within the range Of probabilities for &
Kansas man TO obtain such distinction,
he could count on The unanimous sup
port Of all his thousands Of friends in
this state.
II Colonel Martin should not be
chosen, then The NEWS believes the
Hon. Frank Hatton should be promoted
from his present position Of First Assist
ant to be Postmaster General. Mr.. Hat
ton is q western man, and is imbued
with all the progressive ideas of this
growing section of the country, which
needs the influence and assistance of
the pOstofice department more than
any other section. During the time he
has filed his present important position,
he has introduced many important re-
forms which have resulted in increasing
the revenues Of the department and in
making il more efficient. It is evident
that he will not rest content g
run the department IN the rutl
and by the precedents made
twenty-five or fifty years ago. Hil
executive ability, as well as his energy
are already stamped on the work of the
postoflce department, for he has in fact
almost run II for many months. He has
worked his way TO the front rank
Of western statesmen by indom
liable energy and by those sterling
qualities Tor which he Is known through
out the west. His fame and popularity
are not confined to his own state o.
Iowa, but he, has thousands Of friends
throughout the western states WHO would
be grat:fied at his promotion to the head
OF the department. because they believe
he has the qualifications TO I'LL It, and
because they think he deserves it. The
appointment of Mr.. Hatton, We believe
would give almost universal satisfaction
throughout the great west.

The Executive Council in Session. -
SPeeulAtiOns As to Appointments.
Special to The DAILY NEWS.
TOPEKA, Kans, March 90.
The executive council convened this
morning at IL O'Clock. There is No
means of finding out the drift of discus
sion in the session or what anybody's
chances are, but il is the prevalent
impression that a conclusion will be
speedily arrived at. Ofcourse there may
be selection of the commissioners, but
nobody anticipates there will be. From
what can be learned outside, il would
appear that Judge Muse has very good
chance. while Judge Humphrey as the
Democratic member of the board seems
to be all but settled. The trouble Is
that every locality has its candidate and
each state officer is bounded to death by
people from his section, demanding that
the candidate from that section be
chosen. 1t Is asserted by some that the
council may be several days in making
choice.
