THIS executive order, addressed "To
the heads of departments of the general
government" has just been promulgated ::
deem this proper time to especially
warn all subordinateS in the several de-
partments and all office-holders under
the general government against the use
of their official positions in attempts to
control political movements in their To-
calites. Office-hoders are the agents of
the people, not their masters. a Just
discrimination in this regard between the
things citizen may properly do and the
purposes for which public office should
not be used, is easy. in the light of a cor
rect appreciation of the relation between
the people and those intrusted with otli-
cial place, and consideration of the ne
cessity under our form of government of
political action free from official coer-
cion. You are requested to communicate
the substance of these views to those for
whose guidance they are intended.

1t is now in order for the President to
draw up schedule of the things an Off
Ger may do and may not do. OF course
it would resemble the tariff acts and
rulings in respect of compleXity, but is
absolutely necessary. Just discrimina-
ton" may be easy" but it cannot be
depended upon. Democratic oflce-hold-
ers might go crazy, and probably would,
in trying to find out their privileges but
that would only open the way to vacan-
cies and new appointments, and more of

happy. The President has evidently got
ten hold of the right scheme to secure
his renOminatiOn.

Cost OF A COLLEGE COURSE.

The newspapers down country are try
ing to figure out the cost of a college
course. and cannot agree upon the lowest
possible limit. The SpriHAdeH Repubij-
can thinks the four years course demands
more than $500 IN cash and the Boston
Rccord replies in this wise
1t does look low. we admit. but the
thing has been done over and over again
by young men who were willing to work
during vacations, to teach school Win
ters, and to do jobs while in college in
the way of tutoring. writing for the
newspapers, working on the local press
and even doing "choreS" for their board,
it is not unreasonable. This is one of the
cases where the facts are worth more
than theory.
The Record is right. Facts are the true
bases to argue from; and it can be shown
by examples here that $500. with pluck
and sense, will carry man through all
right. And he needn't lose his Self-re-
spect on the way, either. On the con-
trary, he will gain sclf-relance and eX-
perience worth fully as much in after
life as the knowledge and discipline of
the classroom.

If the proposed anti-Edmunds bolt
should succeed in Rutland, the BWljHg-
ton Free Press is sure ''it would help Mr..
Edmunds in the State at large and in the
legislature. "-BoStoH Record.
Our esteemed contemporary of the
Queen city need not be alarmed or elated.
70 speculate on the success of this bolt
is IA waste of time 1t grows solely out
of personal hostility to Mr. Edmunds.
1t is not only without principle, but in
direct contradiction of principle. The
leaders of it say that Mr.. Edmunds
should be slaughtered because he was
disloyal to the Republican party two
years ago. The Republican, of the coun-
ty thought otherwise. and now this fac
ton is doing the very thing they accuse
Mr.. EdmundS of having done; that is,
they charge Mr.. EdmundS with diSloyal-
ty to party and in trying to punish him
are openly guilty of that oilense them
selves. \ more illogical bolt was never
attempted.

THE New TREATY.

\ new treaty, or more properly speak
ing, modification of an old one, has
been signed by representatives of the
English and American governments and
now awaits only the SenateS approval.
Ii provides for the eXtradition of persons
accused of four crimes not before provid-
ed for, namely, manSlaughter, burglary,
embezzlement or larceny of the value of
fifty dollars and upward, and malicious
injury to property whereby the life of
any person shall be endangered if such
injury constitutes crime according to
the laws of both the United States and
England. But no one wanted for crimes
of political character can be eXtradted
under its terms. 1t will check the emf
grafton to Canada and England of embez-
zlers and other criminals and in this re-
spect will be useful. But il does not
cover dynamters who only plot, though
it is apparently designed to include such
evil-doers in the clause referring to those
who injure property and thereby endan-
ger life.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
THE SUDDEN AND VIOLENT DEATH of
BRIDPORT FARMER.


Mr.. John Melvin, aged 81 years, a
large farmer living about two miles north
of Bridport village, was instantly killed
on Sunday afternoon while returning
home from church. His horse took fright
and ran away, overturning the wagon
and throwing Mr. Melvin, his daughter
Maggie, and a young boy, a relative of
Mrs. Melvin, to the ground. 1t is sup
posed Mr.. Melvin struck on his head, as
no marks other than those on his head
were discovered. The accident occurred
about quarter of a mile from his home,
and near a school house, into which he
was carried. A hard shower prevailed
at the time and it is thought the horse,
a young animal, may have been frighten-
ed by the raising of the umbrella.
Neither of the other occupants of the
wagon was injured. The horse continued
to run and the wagon was demolished.
Mr.. Melvin was held in very high esteem
by the citizens of the town. He was
prominent member of the Congregational
church He moved to Bridport in 1874.
having purchased the farm formerly
owned by Nathaniel Wing in November
of that year. Previous to his coming
there Mr.. Melvin had for many years
lived at Mneville. y. y, where he had,
by dint of hard labor in the service of
the iron companies located there, been
able to acquire considerable property.
Mr.. Melvin leaves widow and three
children, Robert, Maggie, and William.
Robert now lives in Kansas City, Mo.
For several years he was Il clerk in Mr..
Benefits store and was popular.
According to another story of the ac-
cidcnt Mr.. Melvin was not thrown out
of the wagon when the other occupants
were, but was thrown to the bottom of
the box, where he lay with his head
hanging over, so that when the wagon
was drawn close to the fence by the
frightened animal Mr.. Melvin's head
struck a post. causing almost instant

THE TRAMP SEASON.

Apropos of the robbery at Shoshone
of Father Cesar, the Catholic priest,
which was reported yesterday in the
TIMES, one is reminded that the cool
nights throughout all this section OF
country have driven these vagabonds
from their straw beds in fields and
barns and caused them to head for
the towns and cities. AS general
rule they are abject, aimless beggars,
satisfied with poor food and castaway
clothing.
They seldom steal, because they are
cowardly wherever there is likelihood
of danger. They sneak upon house
where some lone woman and children
are known to be, and there are brave,
after the manner of DULLES and COW
ards; but except in such cases they
are not dangerous.
This section has some, but it is not
a fruitful field for tramps. 1t is in
the large cities that they will congte.
gate, and when they fail by theft to
secure food, look out for torch and
flames. If caught in the act, they GO
to prison and are fed. If not caught,
they get something to live on for q
time. This is all they ask, and gen.
orally they prefer to be caught in the
act OF crime, provided the punishment,
does not endanger their worthless
lives. .-. ...-
II is estimated that there are nearl,
100000 people of this class in the
United States. The cure for this ev
seems to be to try them as Migrants
imprison them, and make them work
for their support.
