a PLACE PAID FOR IN ADVANCE.

Is there any other Government under the sun
which would be in danger of choosing for such
position rs the Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enuo, a man chiefly recommended by the liquor
dealers The duty of that officer is to collect
tho tax on liquors. 1t is in his power, by favor
ing constructions of the law, to enrich the men
whose duty it is to pay taxes. Yet it is an
nOunced that the appointment of the notorious
Thompson of Kentucky is publicly recon-
mendcd by great body of liquor dealers, in
Guiding men representing $l5,OO0,O0O OF
capital in this region alone. and that he cOnse-
quentv stands very high in the favor of the
Administration.
Why should anything else be cxpectedf Mr..
Cleveands Administration is itself the product
of corrupt bargain between Democratic
leaders, and the liquor dealers have furnished
money for various expenses, the st. John busi-
ness included. The bargain was made tefore
the Ohio election in 1888, and the liberal sup
plies of money furnished at that time carried
the State for Ioadly, and prepared for the
great frauds which were with difficulty defeated
last year. In other States better success was
realized. In this State tue liquor dealers VINO
kept the Prohibition movement on its legs best
know what it cost them, and openly boast that
they carried Ncw-York and elected the Presi-
dent.
If the party does not rcpHdiatc the bargain, 1t
must pay in full for services rendered. 1t can
pay in one way only: by turning over control
of the internal revenue service to an agent OF
the distillers Consequently, if Mr.. Thompson
has been selected as such agent, il is natural
that he should be in high favor with the Ad-
ministration and that his appointment should
be probable, unless some equally satisfactory
substitute can be found who is in other respects
less Objectionable. In any case, the liquor m
tercst wants the Commissioners.

The mugwump papers have had such hard work

given him. 1t is equally obvious that his appoint

From the testimony taken in the gas lnves'i-

much for each public lamp lighted, but IL APP

no count by the city OF the NUMBER VI ,a"p.

Importance. The rules of the Senate anu"
great freedom of discussion, but the lmpor'an'
appropriation bills rarely reach 1t from 'he
House until the closing days or the session.
Hence. the chief reliance is after all upon tne
committees. To arrange them satisfactorily
seems to have been an unusually difficult task
this year. tits to be hoped, however, that wna.-
ever cause there may be for the dlsappo'h'-

caucus they will in no wise interfere VIII
legislation. The majority in the Senate has a
hard task before it for the next two years, anu
needs to be well prepared to perform 1t.
Secretary Manning has not been getting up
at the break of day for nothing. With his teies-

TIE IlELM."CRlTlon SUIT. - The
cause of NJ. d. Helm against the Eceu.
ing critic and others, in which he
asks for receiver, account, injunction,
&c. was before Justice Iagner in the
equity court for few minutes yesterday.
MIR. Charles Thompson, of the counsel
for the defendant, stated that with the
appreciation of the counsel for the com.
plainant he asked that the time for the
hearing be extended until next Monday.
The bill was quite lengthy, and had been
received only the day before, and while
ready with their facts, still had not been
able to formulate the answer. Justice
Hagucr said it would be impossible to
eXtendaihe time to the date asked, as it
would be in August, beyond the term of
the court. He would say, however,
without going further, that an injunction
could not be granted, as the bill alleged
that the defendants were solvent. But
being admitted, then they were response.
BILE and there was no reason why the in.
surance money should not be paid over
to them. If it should be misappropri-
ated then the law pointed out the rem,
edy. The hearing on the rule was then
set for the first Tuesday in September.

Low RATES OF FARETo TIE SEAsmORE.
The excursion to the seashoro by the
Pennsylvania railroad last Saturday was
decided success. All the eXcursionisls
were unanimous in their opinion that tho
trip, while somewhat tedious, was de-
lightiul one. All enjoyed the bathing.
The general desire is that these Satur.
day night trips be continued, and TO this
end the company has arranged for the
second excursion to leave Washington at
the same hour next Saturday night. The
rate will be So to either Cape May or
Atlantic City. The delay which was
occasioned at Camden to the Cape May
train going will be obviated in the next.
Tickets will he limited, and those de-.
string to avail themselves Of the low
rate should purchase tickets at once.
The excursion of last Saturday was
made up of Washington's best people,
and was undoubtedly the most select that
was ever given from this city, The S.
excursion tickets to the seashore will
still be sold for the II a. m. train
