The State charges them with placing all p0ss' bio
obstacles in the Way OF appointment to high

them that they cannot expect to get 1913 electoral
votes without paying for them well in political pat

statesman ami diplomatist, and that the Austrian
Government has been misled by his American

present of reconciliation and good feeling to find
organs of Democratic opinion like The Washington
Post and The Word lines and Post of this city,
preached by leading Southern journal for their
DISPLAYS of sectional hate, and reminded where 1913
of tho votes came from that elected a Democratic
President.
What is the use of can't and hypocrisy about the
appointments. Nobody is deceived by the appoint
ment of an apology for Hubert o. Thompson in the
place of Judge Robertson. Everybody understands
what it MEANS and everybody would feel some
suggestion of respect for Cleveland if he came out
and said frankly" don't give snap for Civil
Service reform. 1 want the Offices for my friends
and my party"
So Governor Cleveland rewards his biographer.
But tho reward is not exactly such as the elegant
and eloquent Dorshcimer would probably have de-
sired A place in the Cabinet would have been more
consonant with his wishes, and it only fair to add
that in point of ability and knowledge OF pnblic
affairs he was ut least well qualified to NIL

The man who invented Mr. Cleveland was certainly
entitled ut his hands to place in the Cabinet. Inc
man who elected him gets the CollectorsLip by
proxy. And the man who wrote his most glowing
biography could hardly have been put of with any
thing less than the District-Attorneyship.
The Board of Aldermen, having no patronage
now to dicker about with the Mayor. is becoming
more ornamental than useful. The chief junction
of its president seems to be to attend various pub
lie meetings and gatherings semi-representatlvo
of the city, and make speeches of welcome, etc. NO
doubt the work is we'll enough done; but Is 1t

The first Indication IA to the true character of the
reports which have been sent out by boards Of
trade and State agricultural boards comes to us
from Kansas, where reports from thirty-three
counties show an actual yield greatly in advance OF

this information says that the report shows clearly
that the yield is fully 2i.0O0.00O bushels. which
is 100 per cent better than the June estimate OIL the
secretary If the State Board of Agriculture. Now

this Kansas report The truth is that Tor some
months past there has been an exceedingly power
full effort to damage the wheat crop III the Doarus Oh
trade and the newspapers. But the real opinion OF
people who know much about 1t seems to be more
clearly shown in the price, namely less than ~ per
bushel Mt New York on the LIST of July, with n re-
