The Washington correspondent OF the
Minneapolis Tribune gives the follow
ing as being the unfortunate condition of
the average department clerk: "This
morning one of the oldest and most faith
full clerks In an auditors Office Greasury)
was met on the way TO his daily grind.
His air was one of extreme detection, his
step slow and uncertain, and his coun-
tenance was cast down. Replying to an
inquiry, he stated that he felt almost as
though he belonged to chain gang, and
was on his way to the stone pile. Being
asked what was the trouble, he said /;
we are treated as if we were criminals;
watched on every hand; spies all around
us, ready TO report, and anxious, too,
every little derelictlon. We are timed
down to minute. If we stop to de-
cipher an obscure word or unite Il knot
ty point, we are soowled at as If we were
committing penal oflense. 1t is hard;
| it is humiliating. Time was when men
could serve the Government and retain
their self-respeot. Time was when
men were put on their honor and treat
ed like gentlemen, and they did more
work than they do under this spying and
grinding system. Men took some pleas
ure in their work, and they were all
anxious to turn off as much of it as pos
sible, and under that system the new
people found the service so perfect that
they have not dared to make many radl
cal changes, but are content with scold'
ing, spying and soowling. The conse
quenoe is the service is demorallzet
everywhere, and fear, hatred and con
tempt characterizes it at every point
'But why don't you resign and get on
! of such dlsagreeable service?" | EN-

A GRAND convention is being held in
st. Paul to take steps for securing In
creased water transportation facilities
for the upper rivers. Millions OF the
national treasury have been spent in
that direction where hardly hundreds
have been given to the sea coast Of the
Southwest. 1t is to be hoped that our
Representative will not forget that
when they are asked to vote for money
for river improvements in Congress, and
that they will force a just recognition OF
the needs of the Texas gulf coasts.
This can be made beneficial not only TO
Texas but to large section of the trans
Mississippi country.

TlE New York sun wants to know II
1t would not be better for the Democ-

This is n question which now occupies
the minds Of u great many thinkers, and
their conclusions are not Identical. But
the Republicans and the mugwumps dif-
ferlng greatly on other subjects, are
unanimous on this. They all want the
Republicans kept IN, and they praise
Mr. Cleveland BECAUSE they think he
will keep them The Democrats hold a
different opinion. They want to win
and they would not be consoled In de-
feat by the reflection that n thousand
Pearsons had been retained in office by
President Cleveland. 1t is better that
all the Republican Postmasters and tide

Bile. strong combination. 1t is difficult
to understand how they can be made to
work tremendously. Mechanics and la
boring men are always favorable to n
tariff, as it gives them higher wages by
reason of protecting industrial pursuits,
and keeping out goods made in foreign
lands by cheap pauper labor. While the
farmer is placed on the other side, being
a buyer Of manufactured goods he wants
them as cheap as possible, and therefore
favors free trade, and at the same time
he will try to sell his fellow knight who
is mechanic, his produce at the very
highest price. 1t will be seen whether
the fraternizing Of these hitherto sup
posed conflicting elements can be made

She Paid the Bet.

We copy the following pathetic
story from Il reliable Iowa paper:
A Montezuma girl who was red hot
for Campbell had lover who was
equally enthusiastic for Weaver On
her proposition they made this wager :
She was to give him a kiss for every
vote of Weaver's majority. The even.
ing of December 2Slh was fixed as the
time the bet was to be paid. The night
came, and SO did the lover; he walked
like n man on the road to his own
funeral,
The weather and other equally i'm.
porlant topics were discussed until the
old folks were sweetly sleeping in the
adjoining room. just as the clock
struck ten she announced weaver's
majority to be sixty. This statement
conceded with the information lurk.
ing in the bosom of the brave Adonis.
There was no gong behind The returns
and no tooliag of any Kind about the
matter. The bet was paid. The next
morning she appears with her lips
covered with plas,ers, and he went to
the barber shop and had Il fresh coat
of dye added to his moustache. Yum,
yum! 4EJ. tHrraFI52
