Inclination to make clean sweep OF

Republican PrOspec u

Certain Democrats pretend to think
that the Republicans may carry this
State a. the next election should the
amendment to the Constitution, pro-
viding for increased representation be
rejected, while Others are inst as san
guine that the election of Hon. Charles
b. Lore to the U. :. Senate would in
sure the same result. The opponents
OF the amendment and the frierds of
MIR. LIRE need not be inf fenced ty
any such consideration. Few votes
depend upon either result The great
mass of citizens do not believe that the
increased representation proposed is
worth contendIng for, while the
Senatorial question will have very lit
tie influence indeed on the next cleo
ton. If the Republicans shall carry
the State at the next election the result
will be owing to other causes. Dis
satisfaction may arise among the Demo-
cratic voters bee suse of the distribution
of tue offices, and the Repu blicans may
be thereby aided TO some extern, bot
their chief dependence must rest ON the
sense of justice on the part of the PEG.
pie, the growing restiveness in regard

ASSESS Dent lists. If the amendment
shall BE- adopted, the consciences of the
people will MOI thereby be quoted, and
IT Mr.. Lore shall not be- elected, the
spirit of inquiry will not be suppressed,
and majority of the people may think
that their condition may be i'm proved

1t is said that nothing at the inaugu-

finest Of everything in dress
is apt to crop out in black.
And this in spite of the ira
ditional perversity OF inani-

which there seems to be some
fatal chance against success
in black. What an eminence
it is for a maker Of silks or

And how many merchants

One needs to set up the
very highest standards in

chant And yet the multi.

not wear the costliest SUITS
That is impossible. Tons
OF tolerable black have got
to be made and sold, because
they have got to be worn.
But why snould every ven
turesomc maker and mer-
chant rush into black, with
all the chances against him.
We think the very best
makers are none too sure for
black. Even then the risk
of black silk is so beyond as
surance in any other way
than by express agreement
that we GO not struple to
ask the guarantee OF even
the safest makers. Wool

To be able to buy and sell
the finest stufs in black is
reckoned one of the last
achievements in merchandise

VANDERBILT AND TUN BUTLER
How the Tallest MAnin Southfield Got
His Applejack Alter all.

From the Rfchmo id County Sentinel
William II. Vanderbilt came down TO Staten
Island few days ago and went TO New
Dorp and looked at his gigantic mausoleum
there. While he was viewing the work. Tunis
Butler came up with a par Of horses that
were hauling materials to the spot, Mr. But
Ter has the con ract tor hauling the stones and
other articles 10 tue place.
Fun" is little younger than Mr.. Wander
bit, and perhaps little less wealthy. In the
years that are long gtne, however, Tun used
TO know Mr.. Vanderbilt very well. In fact
they were neighbors, and in ne good old days
OF yore when simple BIN Vanderbilt was a
humble youth working on the old Vanderbilt
farm, he and Tun we're chums. They grew
up 70 be Noung men together.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt heard Tun yell zee! .
haw" a. the yoke OF oxen, the Crusus quick
ly glanced arourd as though he had heard
that voice and the same command SO often be-
fore that it had become familiar.
MIR. Vanderbilt quickly turned his head
lrst as Tun raise his eyes to h Ok at the fnan-
cial magnate. Their eyes met at the same
time.
"hellow said Mr.. Vanderbilt, chow do you
do, Tun?" and hi soft fingers were clasped in
what Mr. Butlrr calls his hands
We'll, Bill, Pm purity well; but it's a good
while sin w have met" replied Butler.
Yes, that's so.n responded William H..
who added, I'VE used To live close by, and had
some good frolcs together"
Yes, that's So continued Mr.. Butler.
"But say, Blll, he put IN with that quiZzl-
cal look that all who know him are familiar
with "But | say. Bill" laid Mr. Butler,

make the omission good. II said he remem-
bered the circumstance well.

An Interesting Opinion.

The opinion OF Mr.. Francis Wharton,
Solicitor OF the State Department, rela-
tive to the legality OF the expenses OF the
Court of Commissioners of Alabama
Claims, shows pretty clearly the ex.
tgavagance which prevailed in the admin
s.ration Of the government when the
publican party was in power, and the
illegal methods employed by thas party to
obtain money from the Treasury. This
opinion of Mr. Wharton's was given at
the request OF the Secretary of State, and
has been approved by the Attorney
General. The request for it grew out of
the refusal OF the Comptroller of the
Treasury to pass the vouchers for the pay
of the salary Of son Of Mr.. Blaine, who
is one of the attorneys Of the court for the
government. Toe Comptroller Of the
Treasury held that the court had no au.
thority to incur such heavy expenses.
Solicitor Wharton shows that the court
has on its pay roll seventeen ATTORNEYS.
an insurance expert, three assistant ex-
perts, and about a dozen clerks for whose
employment there is no authority any,
where. 1t is probable that this little army of
lawyers, insurance experts and clerks are
relatives and friends of influential Re-
publcans. and were appointed not be-
cause Of any need for their services, but
simply TO oblige those who requested
places for them. Their salaries doubtless
amount to $4,000 "a year or more.
The Republican newspapers take occa-
sion frequently to assert, that when the
Democratic party took charge of the gov
eminent, every cent that the books called
for was found in the Treasury. What
have they 70 say to this method of getting
money out OF the Treasury which the in.
,e,tigation OF the affairs OF the Alabama
Court OF Claims develops? Is IL hon It
to appoint the sons and political bench
men OF leading politicians To profitable
places without authority Of law, and to
pay out thousands OF dollars annually Of
the peoples money for which no lmpor.
tant service is rendered?
The court, Of course, has an excuse for
its action. II says II needed all the men
to whom it gave places. The commits
sioners OF the court, however, are sud-
ciently we'll yersed in law TO know that
they nave no right 10 create Offices and
fix salaries without some authority. II
there was real need for the services Of
more attorneys. experts and clerks than
the law provided for, application for
authority TO appoint more ought TO have
been made to Congress. AS Solicitor
Wharton shows, even the Supreme Court.
although oyer-burdenod with business.
does not undertake to provide the means
TO relieve itself Of its extra burdens. but
waits patiently for Congressional action.
The Alabama Court doubtless felt that
it would not get authority TO increase It's
expenses If IL applied TO Congress, be-
cause, perhaps, an inquiry would show
that more employees were not necessary.
To make the appointments, and 20 de-
pend upon a willing Comptroller 70 pass
the vouchers for the additional expenses
was a plan that promised much better
success. A Democratic Comptroller,
however, stopped that sort Of business.
