UNDO THE RED TAPE.

Within the recent years, to citizen hav-
ing business with them, the departments at
Washington have each been so many osten-
tatious governments, ruled by pompous
kings and princes. with self-important lack
eys to receive the cards of callers and die
tate the season of waiting before permitting
admittance to the royal presence. Allowing
the necessity for imposing regulations to save
the officials from annoyance from place
hunters, cranks and idlers, there was
never need or justification for the
lordling air, the hsughtiness and
even insolence that many Government Off
cials assumed. stilted in their positions,
these men of "a little brief authority looked
upon themselves as fsvorites OF fortune or
fate, something high above the common
herd, whom to approach was honor-masters
they, not servants. of the people. Their Of
fees were bound about with red tape as i'm

An attorney from distance, representing
a claim allowed by commission, found il
necessary to accompany the papers to the
Office of the Second Comptroller. After
waiting from 10 a. m. until noon
that official arrived in his carriage ac-
compsnied by two boon companions who
were requested to smoke and wait for an
hour. Ringing the bell for his clerk, the
latter submitted certain papers to which he
Internationally affixed his signature. Two or
three social callers consumed the remainder
Of the hour, when, telling the attorney his
papers could not be examined before the
morrow, Mr.. Second Comptroller announced
his days work over, and departed with his
companions for a drive. 1t was the third
day before the attorney secured the signature
OF this official, and accompanied the papers
to the First Comptroller, who imposed an
other day of waiting. After two days
more the claim was approved by
the Register, when the Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury held it for two
days. 1t was ten days after the claim had
left the commission before the Treasurer
gave his cheek in settlement of it. When

Baking Powder Tramps.

The danger to the public health from the

so fully exposed that everybody desires to
avoid them. AS "forewarned is forearmed, -
housekeepers will thank Us for apprising

made to dispose of such powders in this vi

The proprietors of some of the worst OF
these powders are now going from house to

in place of the Royal, which housekeepers
have for so many years relied upon to puff
up the morning biscuit, and to make the
light, palatable, and wholesome roll, cake,
and pastry for which it is famous.

THE Republican organs make themselves
very ridiculous by their constant coarse and
almost vulgar attacks upon the Vice Presi-
dent. They have asserted all along that he
is q mere fgurehead, with mo influence
with the administration, etc. Something
must have changed their opinion, for sure it
is that he is the subject of their most viru-
lent attacks. Their mud batteries are con-
stantly on the spatter. For a man who "has
no influence with the administration" Mr..
Hendricks seems to be rather lively sort of
a quantity. 1t is precisely because ne is not
"a mere igurehead," and that he has "infiu-
ence with the administration, THAT Mr.. Hen
bricks stands exposed to the vulgar attacks
Of the Republican organs. re would sug-
gest that proper sense of the decency ofthe
situation demands that if it is necessary to
drag the name OF the Vice Presidents wife
into the newspapers that it be done in a
dienified and courteous manner. Black
guards will differ with Us on this point.

a KEROSENE DRUNKARD.
an Alabama Man Who Can Not Live With
out Drinking the OIL.
Aoa1

Yesterday evening as an Age reporter was
passing ]. T. Bailey's grocery store on
Twentieth street, one of the clerks stopped
him and said: There is human curiosity
back in the rear of the store. Step in aad

The reporter went in and saw q man in
the act of drinking q cup full of kerosene
oil. He had entered the store and purchased
a gallon of the oil and then asked for cup,
which be filed and hastily drank. This sur
prlsed Mr.. Bailey, and he questioned the
man about the matter.
When the reporter entered the recital was
finished and the talker was taking another
drink of the oil. The mans story was told
the reporter by Mr.. Bailey. and was as fol.
lows:
my name is George Eggleston. 1 was
born in Mobile County, Ala. in August,
1912. When quite boy I suffered great
deal with tonsilitis and other diseases of the
throat. Kerosene oil was recommended as a
cure, and consequently l was dosed with
kerosene. AS long as l took the oil 1 was
apparently well, and so l continued to take
it for number of years. The first time that

bic habit was when l was sent of to board.

came restless, lost my appetite and could
not sleep. / saw a servant filling lamp, and
all at once terrible thirst for drink of the
oil took possession of me, and 1 at once OBJ
tsined it and that night slept soundly. That
settled me. Ever since that night / have
tax en- my dose of kerosene oil as regular as a
drunkard drinks his whisky, and l can't do
without it."
MIR. Bailey asked Mr.. Eggleston what he
would do if he was placed so he could not
get oil. He replied:

ing in such q predicament. l started out on
hunt once, expecting to stay only one day,
but was detained five days. l was all right
until the fourth night, when l felt the thirst
on me. The next day suffered almost
death, and reaching home that night, drank
pint of oil at one time
This is what Mr.. Eggleston told Mr.
Bailey. he said to the Age reporter that the
habit he now considered an incurable oue,
but 1t caused him no inconvenience what
ever. He believed he was healthier for the

THE ghouls of the Gould system were over
matched by the strikers. The day has passed
when monopolists can throttle labor. The
triumph of Democracy means the undoing oil
corrupt legislation enabling monopoly frauds
and oppression. Jay Gould & Co. may make
the most Of their watered stocks; they will
not swell their millions by any more Of
them. The workingmen, in the meantime,
are gaining confidence and will not be
ground down by further starvation wage:
than they have been receiving. Democracy

terrible itching was great almost to deprive
her Of sleep. After two months Of this suffering

What was the result? The first application of the

THE NEW COMMISSIONERS OF Il
TERNAL REVENUE.

TERNAL REVENUE.
Another splendid appointment was made
yesterday by the President. We refer to
the naming of Hon. Joseph S. Miller, of
West Virginia, to the Commissionership of
Internal Revenue. In referring to the mat
ter we do not care to make any comparison
with the defeated Kentucky candidate, Mr..
Thompson. We are prepared to agree with
his friends as to his eminent qualities and
entire fitness for the position. The best con-
ISOLATION for an aspirant who has failed to
win the prize is to know that his successful
competitor is foemsn worthy of his steel
and that he is every inch q man. Mr..
Thompson has this consolation. Mr.. Miller
is not unknown to this community. Having
relatives and friends here, his frequent visits
have given him an opportunity to become
we'll acquainted with and appreciated by
our people. His record as public official
is impregnable, not only as to its efficiency
and trustworthy character, but as to the en-
tire satisfaction which it gave to his con-
stituents and to all thoss who are interested
in him. His experiences as a county Of
fetal, in the State Legislature, and also as
State Auditor for two terms-ruuniDg
through a term OF nearly fifteen years
have equipped him thoroughly and
with rare precision for the new field
of labor to which he was called yesterday by
Mr.. Cleveland. In addition to this equip
ment OF actual experience in Office routine,
Mr.. Miller adds a valuable aptness for exec
utive management with gentlemsnly in
stincts and courteous manners. Being
endorsed by much Of the best element of the
Democratic party, we anticipate that his APP
pointment will meet with general and
generous welcome throughout the country.
Mr.. Miller's administration Of the Internal
Revenue Department may be looked forward
to with no anxiety on the part of his friends.
