sPR1NGER's COlI0IIrTEE.


Representative Springer's famous
committee Is to have more work this
winter, inquiring into the crookedness
and irregularities of Federal officers. 1t
was this committee that created such a
sensation last winter among United
States MarshalS and District Attorneys,
and those who had been in these offices
during late years. Our own handsome
Governor, an ex-Marshal, was among
the number who came in for a lively
dance to the exposure music, and who
was saved because he was Kentuckian
and Kentuckians stand together against
the world Already Mr.. Springer's
investigators have been given matters
that will keep them and others busy for a
portion of the session. and before they
finish what IS now in hand, there will
certainly be more to inquire into. There
IS an unfortunate thing about the com
mittee-it hasn't. or at least hadn't the
courage to tell all it learns, and make
its discoveries count against those who
should be exposed and punished.
Enough was learned BY the committee
last winter to have sent a score of men
to the penitentiary, and yet such bad
use was made of the matter that the
condemnation fell largely on the com
mittee, while the guilty rascals escaped.
Mr.. Springer is an able, brilliant MAJ,
but he sometimes IS not equal to
the occasion, and as head of the
committee on expenditures in the De-
partment of Justice he is a failure rather
than a success. Another man with
Springer's ability and the courage of
Perry Belmont, S. S. Cox or S. ]. Ran
dali, would have made matters how,
with the material that Springer gathered
only to half waste. However, it is
hoped that the late election has impaired
to Mr.. Springer the lacking courage
and that what he discovers hereafter
win be used in a way to do the most
good.

rsELEsS SERVICE.

president Arthur. in his late message,
has much TO say about the diplomatic
and consular service. and all in the IN
terest OF enlarging the scope and in
creas;ng the expense OF the service. II
there be any branch of the government
service that should be abolished it is the
consular and diplomatic which is as
nearly useless as anything can be.
Ministers and consuls and agents are
maintained at an annual cost OF mil
lions, and If they are of any earthly
value 10 America or Americans the fact
has not transpired. Perhaps an excep-
ton might be made in the cases of
lew consulS, who are able and willing
TO assist their countrymen who are un-
fortunate enough to need their assist
ance; but in no sense can the service
equal the expense of maintaining the
worthless system. In nine cases out of ten
all international matters are attended to
directly by the Washington govern
ment, the minister being ignored BY both
parties, for the reasons that the work
can be quicker and better done by the
principals, and that the minister is
lucky if he understands aught of the
duties OF the office. the place having
been given him either as a political re-
ward or TO help him live. OF what
earthly use is Lowell in London TO the
United States? The man IS a scholar
and a gentleman bat he knows as rnuch
OF diplomacy as he does of the moons
craters; and even ii he were the ablest
diplomat on earth, he would be out
of place as a foreign rep resenta.iva of
this government. As it is and as it
must be, he is simply an expensive lux
ury; we hire him to put on style" for
the nation. Mr.. Sargent succeeded in
having his country insulted by Bis
marck, and the Washington govern
ment had to extricate the nation from
the unpleasant predicament into which
it had been thrust by that Texan
blatherskite, Tom Ochltree, and Min
lister Sargent.
The fast steamers. the telegraph and
the cable make it possible to do away
entirely with the diplomatic service,
and to reduce the consular to much
narrower and cheaper limits. Instead
OF needing the Presidents suggestions,
if the House committee on appropria-
tons viii cut down the appropriations
to this useless department, the country
viii shout its hearty approval.

IMPENDING STORM.

Representative George Washington
Cassidy, of Nevada, IS represented in
some OF the eastern papers as being d
good deal mad. Mr.. Cassidy was de-
feated for reelection, and as he cannot
revenge himself on thepeople of the Sage
brush State who concluded that thew
had had enough of Geo. VS. peculiar
kind CT craftsmanship, he proposes to
turn loose on others liz the hope OF getting
satisfaction. Cassidy is chairman of
the House Committee on Pacific rail
roads, and it has been understood that
for years he was owned, body and soul,
b. the Central Pacific. which twice sent
him TO Congress. For some reason in
which the public is not at all interested
the Central Pacific dropped the sage
brusher, some time ago, and as a matter
of course he couldn't be elected to any
Office in Nevada with the railroad OPP
posed to him. 1t is said in the papers
that Mr.. Cassidy viii endeavor to N axe
it extremely tropical for the Pacific roads
this winter, and as chairman OF the
committee he ought to be able to do
something. 1t viii be remembered by
those who keep track of public men and
measures, that Cassidy suddenly checked
himself last winter, in his violent anti
Mormon onslaught. During the latter
few months of the session hewas seldom
if ever heard in connection
with Utah matters, and people
wondered Why the sudden change had
come over him. ThGwhys and where
fores are now unnecessary and unim-
portant; it IS enough to know that tie
gentleman has again changed front, and
announced to the interviewer that he IS
once more on the anti-Mormon track,
and the way must be cleared. From ALI
of which We are inclined to warn the
people OF Utah that they may be pre-
pared for furious and irrepressible on
slaught at any moment. The Pacific
railroads and the Mormons are the
special objects of the Hon. George
Washington Cassidy's enmity, and he
going to show what that enmity
ineans before the end of the
three months which will close
his Congressional career. Forewarned
gives time for preparation, bat
what preparation for defense can avail
against the mighty, overpOwerlng force
that is being driven upon Utah and the
railroads. Under the circumstances
perhaps the best thing the Mormons
can do is to round up their shoulders,
grit their teeth and await the attack in
a spirit of humility, feeling thankful
that the force Of the fury is to be div
ided, tie gigantic and souiless corpora
tons having to share it with them.

WORTHY THE COMPLIMENT.

The Georgians must admire their dis
tinguished Senator, Joseph E. Brown.
who has just been reelected in highly
complimentary manner. He received
every vote in the State Senate and all
but two in the House. Senator Brown
is not only one of the ablest men in the
Senate, but he is SO rich that he can
afford to employ his ability in the right
direction. Few poor men who expected
to labor in politics would have had the
courage to oppose the wicked anti
Chinese legislation as Brown opposed
it; it required a man of courage as well
as honesty to face the mob music
that was being played all over the coun-
try to awe Congressman into silence re-
garding those questionable measures, or
frighten them into supporting the bills.
Senator Brown also stood manfully
forth in opposition to the infamous
anti-MOrmOn bills, when such opposi
ton would have crushed forever less
wealthy and weaker Senator. The pop
ular yell has much to do with shaping
legislation, through the scare that it in
flicts upon timid, dependent lawmakers
who are looking about for popular sup
port or endorsement. Congressman
have been frank enough privately
to say that bills regarding Utah were
wrong and ought to be defeated,
and yet they would vote for them, be-
cause to oppose them would mean their
political death, as their constituents
were mad and unreasonable. Brown
was above this sort of fear, and the
people OF Georgia respect and admire
him the more on account of the indie
pendence which enables him to be fair
and honest with the world and with
himself. Seldom, if ever, has man
been complimented so highly as was
Brown in his almost unanimous cleo
ton, and what makes it better is the
consciousness that he is deserving.

ECONOMY.

AS matter of good sense and good
policy economy should be the rule in
financial matters both in public and
private life. 1t is an open act Of folly
to needlessly squander that which we
labor hard to acquire. If squandering
is to be the rule then it were an act of
good sense and good judgment to abb
stain from that hard labor which is ne
cessary to acquire that which We squan-
der. Ic is better to be lazy and eco
nomical than industrious and profligate,
for, ia the former case, although we
come out with no wealth, yet we may
have health and well preserved phys
ical being, while in the latter we viii
have neither. Pfofligs.e and dissolute
habits among men destroy the well-be-
ing of society while Industrious and
economical habits preserve strengthen
and promote the moral organism Of So
ciety. Frugal habits make powerful
nations. Habits of prodigality and
carelessnessinevitablylea lead to the down.
fall ola community or a nation. The
safe and only safe rule on tho part of
an individual in the acquisition of the
goods of this world is to always live
within his income. Always spend less
than you make. If you make but one
dollar per day try to save twenty Eve
cents per day or more if you can.
When a man spends more than he earns
it almost universally results in injury
to the creditor under such circumstances
are generally not paid.
Then let all 1--we on less then they
earn and all will be well.
