A Washington dispatch notes the
fact that the stables of the interior
department are again filling up with
carriages and horses for the free use
of officials at government expense.
When the new administration came
into power, a great ado was made
over the fact that all the horses and
carriages that had been kept in the
government stables for the use of of
ficials had been sold of, as a measure
of economy and REFORM" and that
the new ficlals were too democratic
to indulge in such luxuries at public

spasm of economy this soon. "a

BOOM THE EXTENSION

A scheme is on foot at Kansas City
and of course doomed by the Times,
TO work up more direct railroad
communication between this part of
the state and that city. In fact TO
connect the Missouri Pacific system of

City. 1t would of course be grand
thing for that city and would help out
the south and west not little. 1t
would, as things exists, do Harper no
good, but as things ought TO be-a
direct line to Wichita-it would help
US a great deal. This country needs
all the roads it can get and we hope TO

TIE CITY oEEIcIALs.

1t will be remembered that in March
last. soon after Mayor Warren's appoint
ments TO the g%overnorship, but while Mr.,
Warren was yet acting as mayor, the new
appointees to the several positions under
the city government were confirmed by
the city council, This. however, did not
occur until several futile attempts had
been made by the council to secure other
nominations irom'the mayor. When the
last official had been confirmed, the an
nouncement was made by the SIM that
Mayor Warren had declared that the
officers he had nominated and who had
been confirmed by the council, were Sc
cured m their places Jor heo geo,s. Did
Mayor Warren express this opinion with.
out having been advised in the mattcr2
THE LEADER is inclined TO believe that
the mayor knew what he WAS talking
about, that he had taken legal advice and
knew what the result of a contest would
be in the event of the election Of a Dem
ocratic mayor. No matter who would be
elected mayor, no matter what might be
his or the city councils decision in regard
to the removal of any city official, Mayor
Warren knew that his appointees could
not be disturbed-that they were secure
in their places for at least two years.
The recent decision in the district court,
in the case of Glover vs.. Bergman, proves
the correctness of this statement. As the
case was determined in March, so it stands
to-day. No power but an earthquake of
a political nature will reverse the conclu-
sion at which Mayor Warren arrived last
March, after consulting the legal lights of
the Republican machine. Regardless of
law, regardless Of precedent, regardless of
the win OF the people as expressed by their
choice of Mayor Reel and a Democratic
city council, the appointees of a former
administration must be kept in office, in
order To sustain a combination of office
holders, and to reimburse them from the
taxpayer pockets for the moneys ex-
pended in securing their election to Office.
Common law seems to warrant the pres
ldent Of the United States to remove and
suspend officials of the government when
he deems it to be for the best interests of
the country; but common law-nay. an
common law-iorbids the removal of n
city official by the mayor and the city
council, when they consider such removal

At u party dinner at Young in Boston,
on the day after election, Senator Hawley
fell into line with Senator John Sherman
and Governor Foraker in making lasting
war upon the South. The negro is not
permitted to vote, they say, and the
South must be punished, Sherman and
%Ilawlcy think that a part Of the repre-
scntation Of the Southern states should be
taken away from them. They suggest
that The Southern representatives be
turned out of congress on the ground that
the colored men were not permitted to
vote. These warriors assume that all the
colored men should yote the Republican
ticket each To vote just once and have
his vote counted-for the Republican
ticket, of course. They cannot bear the
idea that 50 many colored men Of the
South have become tired of the uses to
which the Republicans, the carpet bag
gors and the Mahones have put them,
and that they are acting with the Demo-
Gratis. The colorcd men find hat under
the administration of the Democrats in
their states they aud all their people are
better protected aud more prosperous
than they werc under Republican rule.

not appear to appreciate these facts. But

They Como Rather High

An interesting illustration of the high
prices charged BY distinguished English
medical men, aud the fact that equally
good advice and treatment may be had in
Loston for a good deal less money, was
afforded quite recently. The wife of u
wealthy Bostonian being troubled with a
somewhat obscure disease wished to learn
the opinion Of the greatest living authority
in regard to it The skillful young doc
tor who attended her said that Or. Keith,
OF ondon, was the man. He was &C.
cordingly asked to name the sum which
he would charge for coming over here 10
consult with the attending physician.
The reply came hat he would accept
$40, 010. His offer was accepted; he ar
rived aud spent half an hour or more in
seeing the patient and consulting with her
medical adviser. The result was that the
Boston doctors diagnosis and treatment
Of the case were confirmed by the great
London authority, who took the next
steamer for home with n fee which would
be a fortune to the average practitioner.
Though the Boston physician did not oh
tain such II %pecuniary recompense. yet he
felt himself compensated by the recogni
ton Of his ability by the distinguished
foreigner. and the satisfaction which II
gave TO the patient and her family.
