Cleveland's Administration.

DR.. G. L. Miller, editor of the Omaha Herald,
ex-member of the National Democratic Commit
tee for Nebraska, and the original Tilden man of
the West, in an interview in Chicago few days
ago, expressed the opinion that Cleveland's ad-
ministration would be wisely conservative from
start to finish. He thought that President Cleve-
land would obey the spirit and text of the Civil
Service law, the first consideration being the
safety and purity of the public service He be-
lieved that the Presidents political followers
would be given such recognition in the distribution
of offices as consistent with the best interests
of the public service, no change being made that
would prove the least injurious to that branch of
the Government. He said that he based his be-
lief in Mr.. Clevelands administration on his
record in New York State, where he has demon
strated that he regarded a public office as
public trust.
"Will he favor a reduction in tax ation 2"
ga strong effort will undoubtedly be made in
that direction. This will be acted upon with
great caution, so that interest will be shocked
This reduction, think, refers not in the least to
q horizontai measure, but careful dscrimina.
ton as to the relief necessary"
"What about his Cabinet?"
"Mr. Garland of Arkansas man not surpass-
ed by Mr.. Edmunds himself will probably be
Attorney General. Mr.. Bayard will, I think,
not 60 into the Treasury but will be Secretary of
State. Mr.. W. G. Whitney is man who will
grace the Cabinet"

after year, it goes on telling of the marriages,

How He Spent Christmas.

A dispatch from Albany, N. Y, dated Dec. 25th,
says: According to his custom on holiday Gov.
Cleveland spent Christmas quietly and in the
enjoyment of home comforts. In the morning he
listened to sermon appropriate to the day at
the South Presbyterian Church, at which he is a
regular attendant, accompanied by his sisters,
Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Cleveland. After slight
lunch at noon the governor gave himself over to
pleasure of a social nature, a few intimate per-
sonal acquaintances calling during the afternoon
to tender Christmas greetings to the President
elect. Political chat was eschewed altogether,
the topics discussed being purely of private or
conventional nature. Early in the evening the
Governor, after his usual habit, visited the exc
cutive chamber, remaining at his desk for over an
hour inspecting some important state papers.
Before returning to the mansion he took a con-
stitutional walk of half mile, unaccompanied
save by tiny black and tan, to which be has
lately taken quite fancy"

OFFICIAL FEES AND POWERS.
Hagersto,on Mail.

Hdgerstopn Mail
We think it important to our people to lay be-
fore them the late decision of the Court of Appeals
in relation to the duties of the Clerks of Courts
and their fees. This case grew out of an order of
ing the County Commissioners of the county to
pay to Mr.. Prettyman, the clerk, the sum of 5000
for compensation for making out general index
for the recorded deeds, &c.
The Court decides that it is the duty of the
Clerk to make out such index without any charge
to the county and that he is paid for it by fees
received from those having the records made.
3D. That the Clerk can only charge II cts. for
every ten words in making such index and no
the office to see whether the Clerk has complied
with the law in having such general index, and
to direct if necessary the mode of doing it.
The Court of Appeals goes extensively into the
duties of the Clerk and also those of the Court in
seeing that they are rightly performed. Itfurther
goes into the powers of the Board of County Com
missioners in making appropriations and paying
claims, and very clearly limits and defines these
powers, and the decision must be matter of in
terest and Importance to County Commissioners.
1t also distinctly determines that any Taxpayer
upon his own motion can stop any unauthorized
expenditure and very clearly and very justly an
nounces this important right.
1t has been common practice for County
Clerks to make application to the Legislature to
adopt new indexes, &C., and have the county pay
for them and for indexing according to the new
system. The supervising power of the Court in
this respect is established by this decision and
the Court is to determine whether the indexing is
satisfactory, and if not to order accordingly. The
Clerks to be paid by the parties having instru-
ments for record, and the law assumes that the
work must be done in a suitable and proper
manner. This has reference, of course, to present
indexing and not to the repair or re-establishing
of dilapidated or destroyed indexes, nor to the
renewal of any general index which the Clerk
did not make out in proper or business method,
the latter being his own fault or negligence.
Therefore any legislation that would put upon
the county payment of the Clerk for any such
service, is declared to be wrong, having already
been paid for it and it being his duty to have
good, eligible general index up to the time.

auguration is taken:
"At an early hour on Wednesday, March 4, 1891
the city of Washington presented spectacle
uncommon animation, occasioned by the addition
to its usual population of large body of citizens
from the adjacent districts. A discharge from
the company of Washington artillery ushered in

At IL o'clock Thomas Jefferson, attended BIZ

He entered the Capitol under discharge of art

where assembled the Senate and the memb, s
of the House of Representatives, the members
rose, and Mr.. Burr left the chair of the Senate,
which Mr.. Jefferson took. After few moments
of silence Mr.. Jefferson rose and delivered his
address before the largest concourse of citizens
ever assembled here. Having seated himself for
q short period, he again arose, and APPROACH

na-1n the State of Illinois the acreage in corn

M9-In the State of Illinois the acreage in corn
this year was 6,s9s,s19, which is said to be less
than any year since 1873. The average yield is
thirty three bushels per acre, for which the farm
ers will receive about twenty cents per bushe
which is the lowest price since 1860, with few
exceptions the price in 1878 being twenty-five
cents per bushel. The effect of these prevailing
low prices is that the farmers are turning their
attention to feeding cattle for Market this method
afording them much larger return than to sell
their corn. A like resort seems to be the only
refuge of the Eastern farmers as well, the present
iow price being hard on grain farmers, and par
ticularIy so on those living on rented farms. Not
only corn, but wheat and oats are the lowest they
have been for years. The average farm price for
wheat throughout the country is 65 cents per
busheL

They Gain Three Governors.
Springfield Republican.

The Republican search for consolation seems to
have rather neglected the Governor business. As
a matter Of fact, the election gave Republicans
everything they hoped for in that line the Indiana
case only excepted, and in Connecticut they win
in spite of Democratic plurality, because 1t takes
a majority to elect there, and the Legislature is
on the Republican side. Republican Governors
were elected in place of Democrats in Colorado,
Kansas, and Michigan, while only in Indiana
was the reverse true. There are now twenty five
Democratic and twelve Republican Governors in
office, with Readjuster. After Harrison is
elected in Connecticut and the new crop take
their seats twenty-five States will have Democra.
tic and fifteen Republican Governors, with
Readjuster for Virginia. There will then be,
however, four Democratic Governors in States
which Voted for Blaine-C California, Nevada,
Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
