Pre- IpENT CLEVELAND, has done a
proper thing in appointing Mr. William
l.. Alden Consul General at Rome. Mr..
Alden is the well-known funny man
of the New York Times, whose editorial
ar icles have long been one of the attrac-
tive features of that model newspaper.
His appointment was undoubtedly due
to the Presidents sense of gratitude.
rhe Times supported Cleveland heartily
and inteligently. AMI undoubtedly at
the cost of many dollars to its propri.
etor, and while the Times asserts that
no one connected with the paper asked
for the appointment of any one asso-
GATED with the establishment, the con-
ferring of an important and well-paid
office Oil one of Its most prominent
writer's is compliment that the paper
cannot fail to appreciate, as showing
commendable gratitude on the part OF
the President. Alden is not only a
satirist and clever humorist, but cul-
tured g nt.eman as well. He has spent
much time in Italy, is thoroughly fam
liar with the ways of the people. ami
speaks the language fluenlly. He is
well fitted for the place, and will make
. good officer. and Independent Repub
lican or mug wump" though he is, no
Democrat will find fault with his APP
pointment.

stubborn Bufchard.

New YORK. June PA Washington
special to the Eue,ing Post saws Mr..
Burchard, director of the mint, accord
ing to present information. has decided
to test the power of the President to re-
move him from Office. There are two
offices in the Treasury which were Gre
ated by special. statute. the tenure OF
winch it is assumed makes il impossible
for the President to suspend incuinbents
unles- the Senate shall consent. The
offices sare those of director or the mint
and comptroller of the currency. A re-
quest has been made { r the resignation
of Mr.. Burchard. He will undoubtedly
refuse to resign. He is not in SYM
pathy with some of the financial views
of the Treasurer, and is II some re-
spects opposed to the Secretary :
policy. From the outset of the adj
ministra ton he has interposed legal
and other objections to the plans OF the
treasury officers. There have been
many conflicts of opinion and Mr.. Bur-
chard is regarded by the new treasury
Off GERS as an obslructionist. 1t has
been the intention for some time to Sc
cure his removal and his superiors were
not quite certain what effect would be
given to the special statute under which
he holds his office. 1t has been hoped
that he would resign. Charges have
been made against him, one that he has
permitted a defaulting subordinate to
resign, and others that he is guilty of
error of judgment, inefficiency, lack of
executive ability and has been careless
IN his management of silver purchases.
Burchard's friends hold that It is>due to
himself not to resign when such charges
are made.

The CIVIL Service Commission has

Ii this civil service reform mania is
carried much further. applicants tor po-
,itions on the police force will be sub
jected to an examination as to their
knowledge of ancient Roman. history,
and the ianitors at the department
buildings be required to master the

AGAINST THE Mo.EcULAR.

The long waited-for decision in the
suit of. the Bell Telephone Company
against the Molecular Company for in
fringement >of patent, has come. Judge
Wallace, in the United States Circuit
Court for New York. delivering the
opinion N favor of the plaintiff. The
company operating an exchange. i'll
Ogden is using the Molecular instru-
nentS. and these were the instruments
to be employed by the company organ
lied in this CRY some weeks ago. Judge
Wallaces decision does not perpetually
determine the dispute, though it wall
probably deter the Molecular people
from organizing any more exchanges
until the matter has been finally
determined. Meantime the American
people will have to submit to the in
famous extortion by the Bell, paying
for telephone service twice what 1t is
worth, and four or five times as much
as it coulc be performed for; or else
they will have to do without cou-
venience which, unfortunately, too
many persons have come to look upon
as necessity.
1t will be interesting to note the effect
OF Judge Wallace's decision on the
Molecular Exchanges already in opera
tion, as that in Ogden. Will an effort
be made to close them up by injunction,
or will they be permitted to continue
until the final appeal has been de-
cided.

THE JURY.

A judge in the District of Columbia
the other day, very severely deprecated
the custom, so prevalent everywhere, OF
otherwise good citizens refusing to serve
on iuries- 1t was proper enough to con-
denim she practice. but it would have
been mora consistent to denounce the
system altogether. There is reason
for good men declining to perform thu
service required. Good men understand
that a Jury trial is legal farce in which
the elements of justice do not enter ex-
.cept in theory. The good and intelh-
gent man does not care TO place himself
IN position where his honesty and up
rightness can be nullifed by the ignoi-
ance, the dishonesty or the mora
crookedness of another man;
the good man does not want
to be placed In the position of op
position to equally good men who ma,
differ with him. He does not want,te
defeat justice by trying to be ISisit, nor
to have justice defeated through the
corruption Of others, and he does not
care to perform what should be the
most import mt and most sacred service
in the government. Tor the:pittahcs thai
is paid 10 inrors. The wonder l., moi

THE WHIPPING POST.

A Baltimore tel, gram tells of the
public whipping there OF another wife
beaten. on whose back the lash was laid
twenty times. This Is the second case
of the kind within a few days, these
oeing the FIRST instances of whipping
since the new law went into operation.
Delaware is the other State of the Union
which enjoys the distinction of pre-
scribing the whipping post for husbands
who beat their wives. Thelash is so ex-
cellent a curative agent in th,se cases in
Maryland and Delaware that in all
probability other States will ere long
adopt it for wife-beaters and for often
ders in other directions. 1t is
said that in Delaware, where
the whipping post has long been an in
in no instance has-an offender
twice brought the penalty upon him
self. The terrors of the Jail are as
nothing compared to tnose of the lash
publicly imposed. The pain is excrutiat-
ing, yet even that could be borne again
and again without complete restraining
effect; but when it comes to the shame
and disgrace of being publicly logged.
for committing one of the meanest
offenses, it is more than the culprit will
twice endure. There is a suggestion OF
barbarism in the whipping post. but as
it deals with barbaric otfenses, the
public ought not to object to the institu-
ton as it does throughout the highly
moral north.

THE FEE INDUSTRY.

N-
The United States District Attorney
the Marshal and the Commissioner
the last mentioned being referred to IN
the singular, for though there are
several U. s. Commissioners there l.
seemingly only one of whose existence
the Marshal and District Attorney have
any knowledge-would make it appear
that the fees are no incentive to the
prosecution of men for unlawful cohabi-
tation: they pooh-pooh the idea thai
their energy is due largely to the fact
that the fees in each case aggregate
neat little sum; but they fail TO explain
why il they are not deeply interested III
the fees, they always manage to make
the costs against the government a.
large as possible, nor do they show
why.i they are not after fees, they insist
on getting double fees for the Marshal
and Attorney, and also upon bringing
the Commissioner into every case.
though the proceedings before him are
entirely unnecessary and can have no
other purpose than to provide him and
them with more fees. That the fees
in these preliminary examinations be-
fore the Commissioner amount to some
thing, may be seen by reference to
somesof the items. The District Attor-
ney gets IS day, or IS case if the ex-
animation should last only fifteen
minutes, for attendance. The Marshal
gets 50 and mileage for serving the war
rant; for serving writ of subpoena on
each witness, so cents, and as the wit
nesses in these cases number from five
to twenty, it may be safely set down
that he manages to get $40 for serving
subp9nas in each case. though perhaps
only one or two witnesses are necessary
to this is acded mileage; for each bail
bond, fifty cents: for disbursing money
to witnesses, etc., two per centum; fol
every commitment and discharge of a
prisoner, so cents; for Transporting every
prisoner, ten cents mile for himself

ton. Then the witnesses come infor
say SIS more. which is about til,
average. Then we have $50. which will
probably be made to run up through
the various little fees, not noted above,
to $50 in each case before the Commits
sioner, which money is taken from III,
treasury without any rightful occasion.
as all the work is Immediately gone
over again for the grand jury. and
then paid tor at the same prices, the
Commissioner only being kept out of

The government is rich and can afford
TO iced this mob of hungry officials, but
it strikes us that an investigation INTO
the methods of the Marshal. the District
Attorney an the Commissioner who
seem to be working the fee business foI
all 1t is worth, would put stop to al
least one branch'of the service.

and the law authorizing the same, we
have made improvements consisting
Of buildings, machinery. tools, ETC., up
on the penitentiary and the peniten.
tiary property amounting to S96,l61.OO
besides unfinished contracts, and paid
in cash into the State treasury $46,O2O.-
81 up to December 1884.
When it is considered that prior to
the leasing Of the penirentiaFy to US,
the institution was a great annual ex-
pense and burthen to the State, rang.
ing from $42, 1000 to $4,000 a year,
drawn from the State treasury, and a
part Of the time the State paying a
lessee $l8, 1000 a year to take the insti-
tuition, and giving him the use Of the
p~enitentiary and convict labor without
charge, we believe the management OF
the institution by us is generally ac-
ceptable to the people Of the State.
Since 1881 for the first time in the
history Of the State the ~penitentiary
has not only paid its own running ex-
penseS and Tor all the improvements
and repairs that have been made, but
it has also paid, in cash, into the State
treasury, the sum Of $46,020!6l, and
we submit to the people Of the State,
that the penitentiary as it now stands,
with its splendidly constructed build
ings, equipped with the largest and
most improved machinery for the en-
ployment of the necessaryinmates, the
extended walls and cash balance, as
above stated, to its credit in the State
treasury, and all without a dollars
outlay on the part of the State, is
ample proof that we have performed
our duty to the people under the laws
and contracts by which we have been
governed.
In proof Of the foregoing statements
we attach hereto certificates of the
officers who know the facts and to
whom have been exhibited the Treas
urer's receipts for the payment OF the
balances due on settlements heretofore
made by us, as above stated.
