at makes one tired to hear the papers talk
about Springfield not being able to accommo-
date the visitors to the State Convention"
said Mr.. John Wilborn, the head waiter of
the st. James, the other day. "Why, this
first time the State fair was held in Spring
field. It was held in 1870, think, and at.
tracted immense crowds from parts of the
State. There we're as high rs $4,000 visitors
from abroad attending in one day, and
Springfield only had two hotels at that time.

Mr.. VIM. Enoch. brother Of Frank Enoch,
OF the Western Union Office, has invented a
rake-cleaning attachment to be attached 10
haud.rakes, which is likely to prove one Of
the most valuable small inventions for a long
time. The attachment can be put on any
rake for FIVE cents. The cleaner is used
by turning over the rake and press
ing q projecting lever on the ground.
The invention is extremely useful, perfectly
new, and will likely be worth fortune.

over his Republican predecessors. All these
assertions were made simply to make polit-
zeal capital for the Democracy
The Democracy never took any exceptions
to the making of political capital out of Mr..
Roach's case so long as the capital appeared
likely to prove Democratic capital But
when they found that they had overd one the
business and made a martyr of Mr. Roach in
the eyes of a great part of the American
public then they began to protest that the
matter was one of purely business charac-
ter, and that there was no politics in it. 1t
is outrageous, they say, now, for the Repub-
licans to intimate that Mr. Roach has been
prosecuted by the administration, or that his
failure is anyway due to its conduct towards
him. But it was all right little while ago
to allege that he was one of "Bill' Chand-
ler's favorites, and that there was cor
rupt understanding between them, by which
the bids Of other shipbuilders were furnished
him so that he could underbid This was
making political capital for the Democrats,
and, like Democratic partisans, could not
possibly be offensive.

We see it stated by an evening contempo-
rary that several members of the Law and
Order League recently called on Mayor
Deering and expressed great satisfaction
with his course in regard to the enforcement
of the liquor law We are not told who
these gentlemen are, but they are
probably boomers" disguised as tenn
perance men. No sincere prohibitionist who
is accustomed to travel about the streets of
our city, possessed of two tolerably good
eyes, or even one and a disposition to use it,
could feel any satisfaction with the way Mr..
Deering has been enforcing the law for the
last three or four weeks past. 1t is notori-
GUS fact that during encampment week all
kinds of liquor were sold, and with very lit
tie concealment, at all the hotels and saloons
that have been accustomed to deal in liquor,
The agency was closed by order of the mayor,
so that the rumshops enjoyed not only the
Legitimate trade, but the legitimate also
1t is fact too, patent to everybody who has
taken the trouble to use his eyes, that liquor
has been freely dispensed ever since. Mayor
Deering practically admitted it in his adj
dress to the police last Friday night. What
has he done about it? Has he sent the mar
shall with squad of officers on raiding ex-
petition? Has he got angry about the evil
dent delinquency on the part of the marshal?
Has he shown any of that yigor which he
displayed in his crusade against the Saliva
tion Army? Oh, no. All he has done is to
call the police together and deliver lecture
on the wickedness of conspiracies between
them and rumsellers, winding up with
mild warning that if they did not stop that
sort of performance he might make fuss
about it. He substantially admitted that he
knew who the guilty policemen were, he had
it in his power to remove them, and he would
have been supported by everybody but the
rumsellers in removing them. But instead
of removing them promptly and filling their
places with men who would do their duty, he
told them that if they did not mend their
ways he would have to use his power to the
fullest extent. And with this sort of per-
Torrance these members of the Law and Or
der League express deep satisfaction.

has made it eficacious in some cases, but its

CONCERNING POLITICAL CAPITAL

The Democratic press are plaintively muir
muring that the Republicans are trying to
make political capital out of the case of Mr.
John Roach and they regard it as very
wicked sort of business. But if the papers
which are making this complaint will stop
and think moment they will see that what
ever of political capital there is in Mr..
Roach's case was put there simply and!solely
by the acts of the Democracy. Ever since the
controversy over the Dolphin began the
Democrats have represented that Mr..
Roach's contracts were given him because he
was Republican and the Secretary of the
Navy who awarded them was Republican,
and for no other reason. They have alleged
also that some corrupt bargain existed
between the Republican Secretaries of the
Navy, especially the last one, and Mr..
Roach, under which the latter had been al
lowed to palm off worthless ships upon the
government. They have asserted that had
Mr. Chandler been Secretary of the Navy
the Dolphin would have been accepted, no
matter whether she fulfilled the conditions
of the contract or not. And they have
pointed to her rejection as evidence of the
superior honesty of the present Secretary

Ex-Secretary Robson corrects heprevalent
misrepresentation or rather Misrepresentation
in regard to Mr.. Roach's connection with ma
val contracts while he was secretary When
the four double-turreted monitors were CON
structed Mr.. Roach had but one of
them, another went to Mr.. Cramp,
the third to Hunt & Hollinsworth,
and the fourth was built in Califor-
mia. When the engines for the eight sloops
were to be constructed Mr.. Roach did not
bid for them. The Atlantic Works of Bos-
ton put in the lowest offer, but it was for
only two. In this dilemma Mr.. Roach, who
was approached, said: 81 don't want this
work, but if no one else will take it at that
price, | will" The work was offered at the
figures named to other concerns, and all of
it was taken by them. In the eight years
when Robson was secretary Mr. Roach built
more than one hundred ships, not more than
five of which were for the United States.
Yet the Democratic press habitually repre-
sent him as having built very few vessels
except for the government.

We have read the statements of Collector
Chase relative to his Office and office furni-
ture, published in the Argus and the Ex-

that the report that the Collector drove the
weather bureau out of the Custom House is
without foundation. The best of feeling
prevails between Captain Chase and the
weather bureau, and the Captain has per-
mitted the bureau to leave some of its instru-
ments in his office. 1t appears also that the
Collectors requisition for furniture was
characterized by modesty betting sub
ordinate of an administration which is
ambitious to return to the ways of Jeffer-
sonian simplicity. All he asked for was two
desks and seven chairs.

Democrats who are anxious to get rid of the
civil service law ought to study the process
adopted by Mr.. Jones, postmaster of Indian
apolis, who was appointed at the request of
Vice President Hendricks. Jones has man
aged so that none but Democrats have
passed the competitive examinations for
clerks in his office. His process is not made
public, but if it will work in Indiana where
the educational qualifications of the Democra-
cy are about as low as anywhere, there is no
reason to doubt that it is very certain and
effective and can be trusted to work well
everywhere Another thing they should OBJ
serve and take courage from is the fact that
though Jones is thus eyading the law the
administration does not interfere, not even to
the extent of a reprimand

senator has just given his three great
