NEW WORD FOR THE POLITICAL LEXICON

"Drugwump" is a new word just invented
in Kansas. It's meaning is somewhat OBJ

back on the Prohibitionists.

AS THE DEMOCRACY LOOKS AT IT.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
One of the worst features of Gen. Logan's
election is the almost certainty of Repuhli-
can control of the Senate during Cleveland's
whole term. Other Republican States,
which were doubtful 'senatorilly, will be en-
couraged to go with the majority, and it will
take good deal of what is called the
cleveland luck' to reverse the political
complexion of the Senate two or four years
hence. We trust that the Democrats may
carry the five doubtful States of New Jersey,
California, Indiana, New York and Vir-
ginia, but what assurance can any one give
| at this time?

State growing out OF a remark, which Mr..
Cleveland intended as joke, that the worst
appointments made during his administra-

public life-meaning, of course, Secretary
Bayard. Mr.. Bayard appears not to have APP
preciated the joke. 1t was too much like

not the one which he at first recommended.

No Foundation wha ever For the Report

CHICAGO, August PA telegram from
New York was published in an afternoon
paper yesterday to the effect that consider
able excitement and severe comment were
occasioned in Wall street by the circulation
cs dispatch from Chicago to the effect that
the North Chicago Rolling Mills Company
hal sold 10, 900 tons Of steel rails to the
Wisconsin Central Railroad Company for
$26 per ton, when the price should be $50
or more, per ton, according to the agree
ment of the iron and steel men at their
meeting at Long Branch, when is WAS IN
animously agreed to restrict production.
Mr. Psrkes, general manager of the North
Chicago Rolling Mills. said last night that
there was no foundation whatever for the
publication of the dispatch, and that it had
emansted from Milwaukee, and not Chicago.
He didn't know how to account for the pub
hcatiou Of the dispatch unless it was done
for market purposes by interested parties.
He said that the railroad companies named
had not purchased any rails from the rolling
mill company recently, but a contract was
entered into for the furnishing Of some rails
TO the railroad some time ago; but the
rails were not yet delivered, nor were they
completed. he would not say what the
contract figures we're, but declared they
we're nothing like the figures published.

WASHINGTON, D. l., August 2T.-Judge
MeCue, Solicitor Of the Treasury, hss given
IN opinion in regard to leaves of absence
10 inspectors OF customs, which has gen.
sral beIring on leaves granted to all classes
Of femployes under the Treasury Depart
ment The opinion which has been sp-
proved BY the acting Secretary is as fol.
lows: The practice of granting leave of
abeence seems tohaye grown up in the de-
lpartment service without special provision
iot Law and it seems that the custom has
fixed the extent Of leave at period not
exceeding thirty days except for
illness or other special reasons aud
no deduction was made from salary
or compensation Of clerk or other employs,
Acts OF 1888, volume %, statutes at large,
pages 563 and 464, for the first time recog-
nize TIE unwri,tsn law on this subject, and
promise that sl absence from departments
on the part Of said clerks or other employees
in excess Of such nave Of absence as may
be granted by heads thereof which shall not
exceed thirty days in any one year, except
In case of sickness. shall be without pay
1t is the fair intent OF the law, there
fore, that having leave Of absence
and some not exceeding thirty days ths
clerk or employe shall during such leave re-
eeive bis usual pay it is to be borne in mind
that leave is simply permissiye and the head
OF lie department has q right 10 allow leave
or .Ct AID 10 what extent within the thirty
days, ard that al lleaves so granted must oe
received upon The understanding that 1t is
reyokshe within the discretion OF
the head Of the department. The
best interest the government must therefore
be considered by the head Of the Depart
ment in determining whether to grant leave
or not, and whether for thirty days or less,
and the responsibility in relation to the
whole subject matter rests upon the head Of
the Department. | have had occasion 70
consider the subject of payment OF inspec
tors, and within the limits and directions
therein suggested see no reason why the
rule established By the Act Of 1888 above
referred to should not apply to inspectors
