IL Lieut.-Governor Gibbs never
commits worse crime than offering
a reward for murderer he'll do. He
needs no defense on that score. If
only he were as sound on that little
salary business. Now he did wrong
in not taking it, and his sending it
back to the governor was just too
delicate, too prudish for any thing and
it overdid the proprieties sadly. Iii
nearly as great crime these days to
refuse to take money we have earned
as to take that which we have not
earned-in political sense. Barney,
Barney, that was mistake, but it is
one quite easily rectified. Send for
the money, and stand not upon the
order, but send at once.

CIeyeIand's senate.

Cleveland will have a majority
against him in the senate for his en-
tire term it seems. No amount of
change for the next three years will
be likely to do away with the repub-
lican senatorial majority, aud his ap-
pointments will have TO run the
gauntlet in the upper house of our ma
tional legislature. This being the
case IL becomes him to look well to
the appointments he is to make. In
some cases already there is trouble
brewing. Some appointments have
been made which cannot be confirmed
by any republican senate possible In
this country. The appointment of ex-
Senator Ross to high territorial Of

Is not well for the president to antag-

elect a man next time, and il they
were, certainly Cleveland will not be
their choice. Now, there doesn't
seem to be great deal of
rampant craftsmanship in the SEN

ly policy is pursued, there
will be no occasion for squabble be-
tween the president and that body.
The senate does not demand repub-
lican appointees, II does not stand for

VOTING FOR A CHIEF.

Meeting Of The Police Commissioner Yesterday Afternoon Several Bal- lots Taken Without Definite Results -,To Try Again Next Friday EVen- ing.
 A special meeting of the Board of Police
 Commissioners was held yesterday afternoon l in the commissioners room in Police build
 ing. The purpose of the meeting was to elect chief of police in place of the late Chief Charles Webster. The commissioners
 were called to order shortly after 3 o'clock by His Honor Mayor Holcomb. After lit tie preliminary talk and the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, Mayor Holcomb requested the Board to proceed to the busi- ness before them.
 Commissioner Sheldon named Frank D. Sloat for chief and made few remarks in favor of electing him.
 Commissioner Hart indorsed the nomina- tion and moved to ballot.
 Commissioner Catlin said that the Board as constituted consisted of three Democrats and three Republicans. The officers of the force stood about s to 3. Elect Republican for chief and the force would have pre- ponderance of Republicans among it's head OInCerS. lie cOulC GueIo1OI0, NOVo IOI Frank D. Sloat, and hoped that the Republi- cans would see things as he did.
 Commissioner Hart said, as he now viewed it, the men now being in the line of promo tion, the head officers would be as 9 to 4. He was sorry that the point had been made by MT. Catlin.
 MT. Sheldon did not consider that politics had anything to do with the matter
 Mr. Catlin contended for fairness. He thought as good man could be got on the Democratic side as on the Republican The Democrats were entitled to an equal repre- sentation on the board.
 Mayor Holcomb declared the question to be decided in favor of balloting. The votes, or the informal ballot, were collected by Clerk Crowley. Whole number, G.; Catlin, 8; Sloat, 2; blank, 1.
 It was voted that the candidates be re- quested to vote for themselves and the first formal ballot was called for. It stood as follows: F. D. Sloat 3, w. B. Catlin 3.
 The voting was then continued until ten l ballots had been taken, the result each time l being the salne as the first ballot. |
 Then a recess of half hour was taken and ] he Republican members withdrew to the
