"Thc men who do the work of
the people should be adequately
paid" Honorable, competent, dill
gent men should be selected to fill
the offices of government, and be
properly paid for the faithful dis
charge of their trust. A sailor,
"born on the ocean wave and cradI-
ed on the deep should not be put
at the tail of a plow, nor landsman

aptitude or training for the position,

work that he cannot and does not

they do their duty, and pay them
sufficiently for it. But do not place
a fgure-head in office, whose incapa-
city or Incidence disqualities him fol

performance of work that is done

Pay the man who does the work

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. MARCH 27 1886.
Showing Up Mr.. Edmunds.

There was lively time in the Judiciary
Committee day or two ago over the res
olution introduced into the Senate by
Senator Beck to remove the seal OF secrecy
from the Judiciary Committee 80 tar as
to permit its proceedings IN the case OF
the Duskin nomination in 1881 to be made
public. Duskin is the Alabama ex-U nited
states Attorney whose removal gave rise
to the partisan debate in the Sen-
ate. That the Beck resolution hit Sena-
tor Edmunds very hard Is generally be-
IIeyed. 1t is said that when Duskin's
domination was sent to the Senate by Mr..
Arthur, Senator Edmunds protested
against it with vigor as one wholly unfit
to be made. In fact, it is alleged that he
went to Mr.. Arthur and begged him to
withdraw it.
II this statement OF the case is true the
public ought to know it, and that there is
much truth in it is believed because Of the
refusal of the Republican Senators to
pass the Beck resolution and let the pro-
ceedings OF the Judiciary Committee
covering the consideration Of the Duskin
nomination be made public.
Assuming that Duskin's appointment
was an unfit one, and that Mr.. Edmuuds
knew that it was unfit, does not the Ver-
mont Senator appear to occupy a rather
unenyiable pOsitioni While it is true that
Duskin's unftness has nothing to do
with the principal involved in the Senate
debate, yet the fact cannot be over
looked that Mr.. Edmunds has forced
the Senate to say that Duskin shall not
be removed unless the President furnishes
his reasons for suspending him. although
he has in his possession ample evidence
OF Duskin's unfitness.

A Celebrated Vase.

There has been an immense amount of
discussion about the "peach-blow" vase,
alleged 10 have been bought at the Morgan
art sale by Mr.. Walters, of Baltimore. for
$4,000. When it was announced that
Mr.. Walters was the purchaser that gem
tleman published denial. It was then
denied that the purchase price was SIS
600. Whether the price was $4,000 or
not it is pretty safe to say that the vase
has received fully $4,000 worth of adver-
tising in the newspapers.
The New York Times prints a state
ment that the vase is not a ''peach-bIow''
at all, but a "crushed strawberry" and
that it is OF a kind that is held in but
small esteem in China. 1t is further
alleged in the Times statement that it
originally cost only about 5000 in gold,
and that it was subsequently sold to Mrs.
Morgan for $4,000.
About all the New York papers have
had something 70 say about the vase.
several of them going so far as to discuss
1t editorlally. These discussions seem 10
have brought out the rather remarkable
fact that In the great city OF New
York there isn't any authority on vases.
and that there exists great deal of doubt
whether the particular vase in question is
worth $4,000 or only 5000.
II Mr.. Walters has the vase. he has the
satisfaction Of knowing that it has at
tracted more attention, and has had more
said about it, than any other vase in the
country whether it is 'peach. .biow''
and worth $4,000 or not.

The Houston Home journal SAYS
"Anti-Prohibition papers in Georgia
seem TO take great delight in giving pub
licity to a rumor to the effect that there
is movement on foot to have a new elec-
tion in Houston on the liquor ques-
tion. We hone they will take occasion to
correct the error. There is no such move
ment on foot in Houston. nor is there
likely 10 be. The people of Houston are
satisfied, and have no desire for a change
on this line" Now that Pulaski county
has gone for prohibition, and Dooly and
Macon counties propose TO follow its eX-
ample, no doubt the good results OF the
adoption Of the law will be more conspic-
uous in Houston than ever before.

The River and Harbor Bill.

1t is expected that the river and harbor
bill will be reported early next week. 1t
is reported that it will carry about $14,-
100000. II this report is correct the
amount is larger by $4,000, 900 than the
committee, when it began its work, in
tended IL should be. However, the amount
is not too large il the various appropria-
tions are for the beneft of rivers and har-
bors which really ought to be improved.
or course, nothing is yet known about
the amounts which particular improve
ments will get. Doubtless, however, there
Will be some disappointment. The claims
of all sections could not be satisfied with
out making the amount Of
the bill a great deal more than
S140OO,OOO. We shall have occasion to re-
joice II the rivers and harbors in this sec
tion of the South are dealt with literally,
particularly that part of the Savannah
river which is the outlet of this city to the
sea. 1t is to be regretted that the survey
for deeper water than % feet from the
cross-tides to the sea is not before the
committee, so that an appropriation for
further improvements than are now pro-
vided for might be put in the pending bill.

Mr.. Edmunds, doubtless, feels that be
has gained a victory. The Republican
Senators stood by him and voted for his
resolutions, which provide that no nomi-
nations shall be confirmed in cases where
removals have been made, unless the
President furnishes his reasons for making
the removals. 1t is pretty safe TO say
that the President will not retire from the
position he has taken in this matter. 1t
remains to be seen whether the Republi-
can Senators will stand by the position to
which the resolutions bind them. The
probabilities are that they will practi-
cally abandon their position and confirm
nominations against which no we'll sus-
tained charges are made.

The Irish Bills.

Mr.. Gladstone now announces that he
will bring forward his measures for the
relief OF Ireland-the home rule and land
purchase bills-on April s. They were
not presented on March y as was ex
pected, for the reason perhaps that they
were not fully prepared. To prepare these
bills is not an easy task, but it is easier
perhaps than 1t will be to get them passed
by Parliament. In preparing the bills
the fact has to be kept in mind that they
must not only be acceptable to the Irish
people. but must be approved by the peo-
pie OF England. In about all previous
measures for the relief OF Ireland the
English people undertook to say
what ought to be acceptable to Ireland
rather than to provide something really
acceptable to them. They therefore,
always failed to accomplish anything sat
isiactory. 1t is probable that MIR. Glad
stone. who appears to be sincerely anx-
iOus to crown mis- remarkable career with
the settlement of the Irish question, is
trying to frame measures which will meet
with the approval Of Ireland, and, at the
same time, receive the sanction Of Eng
land.
OF the two bills, that providing for the
purchase OF the lands of the Irish land
lords presents the most difficulties. AS
the English taxpayers will have to fur
nish the money-and it is a very pretty
sum-they will want to be very certain
that the benefits they will receive will be
equal to. if not greater than, the sacri-
fees they will have to make. Doubtless
in both England and Ireland April is
being looked forward to as a very lmpOr-
