quently resigned just before the expiration OF the
term of the Justice who has then made another APP
pointment for second term of SIX years, thus pre-
| venting the incoming Justice from choosing his
own clerk. The new clerk would then appoint as
deputy clerk the person who resigned and as the
salary for the clerk and deputy is $4,000 each, all
was arranged to the satisfaction of everybody ex-
cept the new Justice. A bill now before the Legis-
ature proposes to end this unjust arrangement but
the decision of the Court of Appeals would seem to
make such law unnecessary.
Pilsbury, Chase and Troup. also Higgins They
are turning the rascals QUITO clover.
Major f. A. Burke informs The Ner- Orleans States
that he will not take any active part in politics
hereafter" In that determination he seems to be
receiving encouragement from WashiL gton, as the
Presidents choice for Naval Officer was far from
being Mr. Burke's choice. The President is entite
to credit for that fact Mr.. Burkes time will prob
ably be occupied in getting another final appro-
priatlon for the Exposition.
The Mugwumps are informed hat they can't come
any Oliver Twist business with this Administra-
ton. They have had their pay and mustn't send
up their plates for more

realize in time that the United States Senate has
something to say about appointments; and that

Delays are exasperating, no doubt, IN such cases.
While all the world is snarling like pack OF
angry dogs the United States troops at the Isthmus
proceed quietly to act. They clear plaza with a
Calling gun. take general officer prisoner, batter
down defcnces in ten minutes, and assume charge of
a city. The American eagle will please scream
Tho Mugwump press, having Endorsed and
swallowed bir Manning, should not make such
Grimaces over Pillsbury, Chase and Troup, who are
only his subOrdinates. The country understood
perfectly well that Mr. Mannings appointment TO
the Treasury Department meant machine politics
of the most reprehensible character or later

Budensek promises that he will henceforth put
up no buildings between December and April He
may not have the chance His next handling of
building materials may be in the Sing Sing stone
yard
William p. Esterbrook told a cerouer's jury the
other day that it his custom when Inspector of
Buildings to change his examiners about, that IN
consequence of this shake-up" they would be less
liable to pccuniary temptation from those who be-
came too well acquainted with them. This kind of
scheme has been resorted to in the Police Depart
ment. The result has been the same IN both cases.
Examiners and policemen alike have made so ex-
tenslyc an acquaintance in all parts of the city that
they are at home eyeryw here aud are everywhere
subject to the same human weaknesses. The great
trouble that itching palm itcbes badly in

II the Socialists should really transform them |
selves into detectives and devote their energies to

city, IA they threaten to do they might have some
excuse for existence.
For any Republican member TO break the tie In |
the Illinois Legislature and elect Democrat would
be a breach of party faith and fealty, and de- |
seTtion of principle which would entitle HIM to |
rank with the Benedict Arnods of the time. 1t |
wonld be understood at once that 1t was a pur- |
chased act.
The oleomargarlne ant-monopoly combination |
is just now hard at work trying to defeat the |
canned goods bill before the Legislature. The |
purpose of this bill is to furnish consumers with
some guarantee that when they purchase canned |
goods they will not be poisoned. The people de-
mand that each can shall be marked in such a |
way that they will know who put 1t up and |
whether the goods firsts" or seconds" To |
use the cry " monopoly" against measure Of this
kind is absurd.
1t is only possible for the Democrats to get the

When evidence in support of the charges against
was being taken, the commission APP
pointed by Governor Hill refused to allow reporters
and the public to be present at their sessions. Now
that the defence of the cemetery is being presented
the doors are left wide open. This may be all right
but it looks queer.
