cary out the provisions OF the laN =,
Mr.. Miller said there was no iounda.
ton for the statement. Congress APP
propriated a specific amount of Sic, 900
for the purpose, and Mr. Miller be-
lieves that the to'al increase of ex-
pense will be something more than
$4,000; but he thinks he will
have no difficulty in covering
all needed expenditures until after
Congress has met, when any deficiency
can easily be covered by new appro-

not yet been adopted, although sew
eral suggestions have been made that
the principal feature in the stamp
should be Durham bull. Mr.. Miller
Gays hs has come to no conclusion,
however, on any feature Of the design.
He thinks there will be very little
trouble in putting the law into practi-
cal working shape, aud contemplates
at present the employment OF but few
additional deputy collectors, except
ing at places where there are oleomar-
gaiine manufacturers. He expects
the colec' ors to do all that the law
may require in its entor ement with
out any increase in their force. In
Chicago he will probably authorize
the appointment of two or three
additional deputies ard may posi-
bly, employ chemist 10 ba ttationed
here in Washington and perhaps an
assistant at Chicago. Beyond this he
thinks the present clerical force in his
offme and the force OF deputies aud
agents scattered over the country will
be quite sufficient TO enforce the law.
His estimate is that twill yield pretty
close TO Sl,000,000 during the present
fiscal year, thus netting to the govern
ment clear revenue of something
more than 100000 over all increased
expense.

A Rich Joke ON ,.9mm nate.

A kich Joke on a. nate.
Washington special 'm the New
York Star; A rich joke on ,,Se Senate
has just come to light. IS has been
the fashion of the Senate Committees
to attempt to discredit tie sincerity
and good faith of the President in his
removal or suspension OF Republican
officials. They have studiously tried
to make it appear that the President
had made removals for party purposes
only, aud in disregard OF his ayowed
purposes and pledges. In order to
give the suspended officials a "send
off" with fine certlfic ito OF character
and diploma Of marty rdom, the COM
mittees have in numerous cases made
reports and spread them upon the
journal OF the Senate, reciting, in sub
stance, that the suspended official was
faithful one and was suspended for
political reasons, and for no cause re-
hecting on his character or conduct,
personal or official.
A case has come 10 light which has
very much shaken the value of these
Inducements. Away back in the early
part of Mr.. Clevelaud's administration
he had appointed one Alonzo P. Sharp
postmsster at McCook, Neb. Sharp
was appointed as a Democrat. But he
followed the bad precedents Of too
many Republican officials and was
soon short in his accounts. Thereupon
Mr.. Cleveland promptly suspended
him and nominated one Thompson to
succeed him. The papers were sent to
the Senate, showing that Sharp was
short in his accounts, and was no
longer fit for public trust in public
office.
With these facts and undisputed
proof of their truth before them, the
Senate committee Qrsvely report to
the Senate the following, which will
be found in the Congressional Record of
June Sd, page 1887:
On the l1th day of February, 1885,
the President nominated to the Senate
F. A. Thompson to be postmaster at
McOook, Neb,, vice A. P. Sharp, sus-
pended during the races Of the Senate.
The suspension seems TO have been
made for political reasons only, and
the committee has not found anything
in the case rehscting upon the per-
sonal or official character or conduct
of the suspended officer.
So Mr.. Sharp, who was kicked out
for Democratic thief, finds himself
immortalized in the Senate record as
Republican martyr. No sooner had he
been proved rascal who ought to be
turned out than the Republican Sena.
tors claimed him as their own and
clapped on his brow the martyrs
crown. Although proved defsulter,
repud iated by his sureties, the Repub-
lican Senators found nothing in his
case rejecting upon his personal or
official character or conduct"
