BADGERING KEIFER
A wag says that ex-Speaker Keifer was
very much fattered recently to
hear that he resembled Gam
BETA, but subsequently was not
so well pleased when the explanation was
made that the resemblance was in the fact
that he and Gambetta were both dead. The
attacks upon Keifer on account of his obe-
dance to the apostolic injunction to pro-
vide for his own household. have greatly
irritated him. He has gone to writing
cards, and the question between him
and the correspondents is begged by
hiding behind petticoats. But in
his card he makes no explanation of his
nepotism. Closer investigation discioses
his sale, prior to his election as
speaker of an Office worth $1,SOO year.
When he was elected speaker, Gen. Keifer
appointed one of his nephews ''clerk to the
speaker at salary of $1,4OO a year. The
nephew, for whom place was made Satur-
day, received 1900 year. He will receive
under his new appointment $416 a month
from March to Dec. 3, the same amount
that senator or representative is paid.
for doing absolutely nothing in the next
nine months. This fortunate nephew will
receive $3,749, larger sum than will be
paid to Dorman B. Eaton for a whole
years service as chairman of the board of
civil service commissioners. He
Will receive more for nine
months than will be paid for

with the Important appointments of official
stenographers to the house from personal
motives. 1t is absolutely necessary that
these places should be held by thoroughly
competent men, who should be allowed to
hold them by merit. Mr.. Keifer last winter
removed Messrs Devine and Hoyes, who
had held them many years, in order to
make two personal appointments in their
stead. Now, on the last day of the session,
he removes one of his own ersonal ap-
pointees to give his nephew large salary
for doing nothing. This action may
result in the restoration of Devine and
Hoyes to their places next winter, and a
return to the civil service rules which have
always governed these offices.
