ToMLNsoN HALL may have the most per-
feet acoustic qualities, but it is the hight of
absurdity to have lecture there. The hall
is eligible for conventions, for large festivals
and for unusual gatherings, but it is not fitted
for lectures and ordinary entertainments.
What would be a good audience in a hall
adapted for the purpose, is SO utterly lost in
the City Hall as to make it painful to every
body. The best voice cannot make itself dis
timely heard over vast reaches of emptiness.
General Towards lecture, last night, would
have been delight to everybody had it been
given in room where speaker and audience
could have been comfortably and easily ac-
commodated. It is to be hoped that this will
be the last experiment of the kind. Tomlin-
son Hall has its uses, but it is not the place
for lectures, concerts and such like entertain
ments

SENATOR HoAR certifes that the story is
untrue that General Logan desired the vote on
the Payne case in committee to be kept Sc
cret. Whatever else may be said, no one will
accuse Senator Logan of not having the cour-
age of his convictions If he thinks the
case not sufficiently made out to war
rant an investigation by the Senate of
Mr.. Payne's election, his opinion is an honest
one, and one of which he is not ashamed.
That is not General Logan's style. 1t is
stated that he will write a report for himself,
giving his reasons for his vote, and will not
sign the Teller report. Should he do this,
there will be four reports from the commit
tee on privileges and elections.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's list Of vetoed bills
lacks but half dozen of the entire number of
vetoes between the Inauguration of Washing
ton and the close of Arthur's term. 1t will
hardly be asserted that the present Congress
is the most careless or corrupt legislative body
of the century and even his devoted admir-
ers, the mugwumps, have not ventured to say
that Mr.. Cleveland is the wisest or most in
fallible President the country has ever had.
There is another, and far less complimentary
inference to be drawn in relation to his action,
and it is the one the people will draw.

THERE is movement in Atlanta to do away
with paid choirs. 1t is admitted that good
choir does aid in drawing congregation. and in
that may help to fill the collection plate; but the
opinion of the majority of deacons and Others
who have discussed the subject is that choir
does not succeed in paying its own expenses. and
that it, therefore, must go. The same financial
gauge was not applied to the occupants of the
pulpits; but as there is no good for beilcv
ing that volunteer sermon is not just as effect

of church economy will perhaps be considered

the Governor deserves the thanks of the pub

Vice-president Hendricks, which, if it had
been done for private individual, would have
cost 800, or at most 1925. Mr.. Graves con-
fdently sent in bill for $3.50, and the amount
of his claim was allowed. The Sun is narrow

election tricks, but they must not be allowed
to take part in the scarcely less important
business Of saying who shall be the candi-
dates of their party. In other words, the
Enquirer puts the work of nominating candi-
dates above that of electing them after they
have been nominated. It is very distressing
to feel that the truly good Enquirer should be
so wrought up over the evils that have so
long obtained in the Democratic party. 1t

Six more boycotters have been sentenced
in the city of New York, each receiving
very light sentence for the reason that they
were foreigners, and could not read English,
nor understand that such things as boycotting
were unlawful in this country. There is
lesson in this that should not be lost The
men who are the foremost in the socialistic,
and anarchist, and boycotting business in
this country are men who have come here be-
cause America was better and freer than any
other country in the world. They came here
as refugees, pleading for a haven of safety,
yet they are not here long enough to learn
the language of the country or to understand
the laws when they presume to set themselves
up in hostility to the law. A light sentence
will do this time, but the next time these un-
grateful wretches presume to defy the law of
the land they have sought out because it is
tolerant and free, they should be given pun
ishment they and their bloody and brutal fell
lows in crime will never forget. They have
not had enough yet, and the papers acting as
their champions are breathing forth threats
of slaughter in revenge for the wrongs" they
imagine have been heaped upon them They
will live to learn, and some of them will ac-
quire their education inside the penitentiary.

ever may be thought Of their attitude toward
the government, have made showing that
must convince all that the Postmaster general
has dealt with them dishonorably, and has re-
peatedly broken his promises to them. AS
they confess they felt that they would lose
their places on account Of the change Of the
getting ready to find employment in some
other field of industry. Then came the letter
of March 81, 1885, voluntarily assuring them
that none of them would be disturbed in the
tenure of their Offices so long as there was no
fault to be found with the way they discharged
their duties This was accepted in good faith
by the men to whom it was addressed, and
they continued to do their work with all the
fidelity for which they had become noted. 1t
did not take long to discover that the Post
master-g general did not mean what he said
when he voluntarily pledged himself to stand
by them so long as they remained faithful to
their trusts. New men were appointed to
places made vacant for no other reason than
that they were wanted for Democrats who had
done service for the party, and these new
men, inefficient and raw as they were, were
speedily promoted over the heads of others
who had grown old in the service and who
knew more of the duties than the new APP
pointees will ever learn Then the old clerks
began to get their discharges without so much
hint of charges of any kind being brought
against them. This was because no charges
in truth could be preferred. Even this exhi-
bition of bad faith would have been passed
over in silence, and the old clerks would have
gone about their business without word of
complaint, had not the letter Of the Postmaster
general impeached their efficiency and probity,
for in it he had publicly pledged that they
should not be removed except for cause, so
that removal must be accepted as evidence
against them. When they dared oask that
their good name be not needlessly impeached

treated their petition with contempt and
these men were left without recourse against
the imputation of ineficiency or worse. This
is the situation, and it has been this kind of
treatment that has caused the Republican
clerks to unite in the attempt to defend their
honor and their reputation as men we'll quail
fed for the work they have so long been en-
gagged in. Never before in the history Of this
government have the employees in any depart
ment been compelled to band together to save
their good name from assassination by an off
cial above them. 1t is scandal that has
never fallen upon an administration before
the one now in power. The people may well
pray to be delivered from another like it.
When politics gets so rotten that an executive
officer of the Republic can break faith with
the men subject to his orders, and may i'm
peach their good name without offering the
poor remedy of reply, it is time that reform
that means something be introduced into the
politics Of the country

Springfield Special to Globe Democrat.
The report having been again started from
Springfield that Judge S. II. Treat, of the United
States circuit for the Southern Illinois district
is about to resign, that gentleman to-day reiter-
ated his former denial of its truthfulness. He
is much annoyed by the frequent appearance Of
this report and there appears to be suspicion
that an effort is making to press the venerable
Judge off the bench before he cares voluntarily
to resign. Political gossips here intimate that
it is all possibly plan of Congressman Spring
ers to hasten the resignation with a view to
finding place for particular legal friend.
