Office Holders i'm Politics.

The President will have his hands full
office holders who violate his order pro-
hibiting them from taking an active par
tisan part in politics.
A few days ago his attention was d.
rected to some Louisiana custom house
officials, who are charged with having
tried to control convention to secure
the denomination of Congressman King,
OF that State. They failed to accom-
plish their purpose. This would seem
to indicate that Federal officials are
not all-powerful in Louisiana politics.
The chief OF these officials, a few days af-
ter the convention, announced him
self in favor OF Mr.. Cleveland's
denomination. 1t is not probable that
the President will find it consistent
with his strict ideas OF duty to overlook
the offense of the official in question be-
cause of this expression in favor OF
his denomination. Experience shows,
however, that the second term idea, if 1t
gets firmly lodged III the Presidential
head, is apt to cause a President to shut
his eyes to good many questionable
doings of his subordinates.
The Cincinnati papers are calling at
tention to a rather fragrant violation of
the Presidents order in Ohio. Prominent
Democrats of Cincinnati say that the en-
ployes of the Internal Revenue Collector
of the Cincinnati district controlled the
Democratic County Convention in Cincin-
natl last Saturday, and nominated ticket
that was not generally satisfactory TO the
Cincinnati Democracy. Some OF those
whose plans. were defeated now loudly
insist that either the Internal
Revenue Collector must be removed or
the President must say no more about his
order prohibiting officials from trying to
run the political machine Of their respec-
tive localities.
The President started out with the de-
termination to separate the offices from
the political machines, and the determine.
ton met with approval. II he becomes
weary in well doing HE popularity may
slip away from him.

Once, during the DAYS of his early struggles
Edwin Booth was ''barnstorm ing" down in
Virginia at place called Lce's Landing. The
IMPROVED theatre was tobacco warehouse,
and it was crowded by the planters for miles
around. Booth and his companions had ar
ranged to take the weekly steamer expected
to call late at night, and between the acts
were busy packing up. The play was THE
Merchant OF Venice" and they were just go
ing on for the trial scene when they heard a
whistle, and the manager came running in to
say that the steamer had arrived. and would
leave again in ten minutes. As that was
their only chance for a wees of getting away

The contest in this county for the Leg
islative Offices resulted just as 1t was gen.
orally supposed it would. 1t was con-
! ceded that Mr.. Russell, of the knights of
Labor ticket would be elected, and but
few doubled that Capt. Gordon and Col.
Reilly, of the sold ticket" would be
chosen.
| Now that the contest is over it will
| probably be admitted by all, who are dis
posed to review the facts fairly, that the
contest was not between capitalists and
workingmen, and that at no time was
there any disposition to autagonize work
ingmen. There is no trouble between
capital and labor in this community, and,
hence, there was no occasion for con-
test between them, or to antagonize work
ingmen.
The contest was between the Democ-
racy and the knights Of Labor as polit-
ical organization. That organization met
IN caucus and selected ticket and at
| tempted to make the Democrats OF the
county accept 1t as the Democratic ticket,
which they refused to do. The Democrats
in effect said: We are willing to abide
| by anything that Democrats in
their organized capacity do, but
we object to being used to carry
out the purposes OF a secret organization
an organization which determined upon
ticket and resolutions without consult
ing us. This made the issue, and on this
issue the Democracy was sustained at the
ballot box.
| 1t is true that one OF the Knights Of La
| Dor candidates was elected, but he is not
knight OF Labor, and In the Legislature
Will not probably be recognized as a la
Dor representative rather than as an out
and-out Democrat. The Knights of Labor,
| therefore. in their attempt as an Or
ganization to dictate to the Democ-
racy OF the county in the
| matter OF Representatives accomplished
nothing. If those of them who are Demo-
Gratis had acted with their party, and had
favored the nomination of one or more
recognized representative workingmen,
they would have accomplished far more.
Democratic workIngmen have just as
much right to be heard in the councils
of the party as Democratic capitalists,
and no one who has the best interests of
the party at heart will question their
right or attempt to limit it. When Dem
ocratic workingmen, however, act in poll
tics with an organization which is not
recognized as Democratic they have ms
occasion to complain if they find them
selves antagOnize6 by the Democratic
party.
In future, in this county, if working
men who are Democrats feel that they
ought to have greater recognition in the
distribution of the honors and offices in
the gift OF the party than they have had
heretofore, there is no doubt that any
proposition they may make looking in
that direction will be considered In a
spirit that will DO wholly satisfactory to
them, but judging from the contest which
| ended Wednesday, Chatham county De-
mocracy will never permit itself to be
used to advance the political purposes Of
an organization which is foreign to it and
in whose councils 1t has no part.

New Y0rk's Doodle Aldermen are great
ly alarmed. They see the doors OF the
penitentIary opening to receive them.
They put on bold front as long as there
was a chance that the Court OF Appeals
would declare that Jaehne, Doodle COL
league, now in the penitentiary, was ille-
gally convicted. The decision in the
Jaenne case has been rendered, and he re-
mains behind the bars. The District At
tornev has already notified the other
alleged Doodle grabbers that he wants to
see them in court at once. The evidence
against them is strong. If they are con-
victed and sent to join Jaehne the tax
payers OF New York will feel that a check
has, for awhile, been put upon dishonest
practices among the city officials.
1t is clear that there is need of check.
Reports indicate that the city is being
robbed in every possible way, and that
the hands of officials are thrust into the
Treasury whenever a chance presents
itself.
Jaehne expected that the decision or
the Court of Appeals would release him.
His friends aud ward henchmen con-
stantly assured him that he need
have no fears respecting tAe action
of tine court. On the morning of
the day when the decision was
rendered, dispatch was sent MIN from
the State capital that the court had de-
cided IN his favor. 1t was cruel to send
such a dispatch even TO man like
Jaehne, who In the days of his power,
cared little for the rights or feelings of
others. The truth, later in the day, came
to him with crushing force.
Life, however, is too short to waste SYM
pathy on a man who not only betrayed,
tor money, the trust the people reposed IN
him, but was receiver Of stolen goods.
He is getting what he deserves. II Others
OF the alleged Doodle Aldermen are proven
to be guilty, the greatest punishment the
law permits for their crime should be i'm
posed upon them.

The capitalists or New York city want
to have fair and square tussle with
worKingmen. They have put forward Mr..
Simmons, an ex-President OF the Stock
Exchange, for Mayor, and propose 10 back
him with their millions. The working
mems candidate is Mr.. George. II the
Democrats do not make animation the
race between Mr.. Simmons and Mr..
George Will afford a pretty fair opportu
nifty TO test tho voting strength OF the adj.
herents of labor and the adherents OF
capital.
There may be some workingmen who
will not vote for Mr.. George because he is
pronounced free trader, and because of
his peculiar ideas respecting property.
but the few votes he will lose on account
OF his opinions will be more than Offset by
the votes Of those not classed with work
ingmen who approve of mis- opinions.
The capitalists and properly holders
generally fear that the election OF Mr..
George would give an impetus to Social
ism and anarchism in New York city that
would speedily bring about very
troublesome condition of affairs. They
propose, therefore, to see what money
can do towards giving the Henry George
movement crushing defeat.

Kitty.

From the Gincinndtt Enquirer.
Ny Kitty is a charming girl
When e'er we go a-walking,
Though I'm as silent as a churl
still Kitty keers attacking.
She talks of this and talks of that,
Yet no ones name e'er harming,
For innocent is all her chat
And altogether charming.
I've known the maidens gay and fair
OF many n famous city,
But none of all could eer compare
With my own charmin KITTY.
Her eyes are bright as stars that light
The ebGn shades of even.
Her VOICE Is music's own delight,
Her smile dream of Heaven.
With blithesome feet she walks the street.
While charmed is every gazer.
She looks 80 sweet and good and neat
That none can help but praise her.
Bloom fragrant flowers beneath her feet,
Sing merry birds above her,
For Kitty is 20 good and sweet
All things in nature love her.
In life's brief day, say what they may,
To love ia right and duty
And like TO Heavens insniring ray
Is the bright smile OF Beauty.
Some MAIDS are loved because they're far
Or rich. or gay, or witty,
But hest love this maiden rare
Because-because she's KITTY.

A Southern Senator few days ago, in
conversation at one OF the New York
hotels, said that it was rather Inconsist-
ent to require applicants for minor clerk
ships In the departments, where a good
cOpyist is about all that is required, to
undergo an examination which would
puzzle a college professor to pass credi-
tably, while the consuls, who represent
the country in foreign lands, and who
ought to be cultivated men we'll ac-
quainted with business, are appointed
without any inquiry whatever respecting
their fitness. The Southern Senator IS
right to this extent that more care ought
to be exercised IN the choice of consuls.
There are reasons for believing that
many of the men who secure consulshlps
are totally incapable of discharging the
duties of their positions satisfactorily,
and they, therefore, do American in
terests incalculable harm.
The examination which applicants for
clerkships have to undergo serves to fill
the minor department places with bet
ter class of men and women than would
be found in them il all such appointments
were made on the recommendation of,
politicians. There is nothing, therefore,
to be said against civil service examina-
lions.
They ought not to be abolished, but
provision ought to be made for fitting
men for diplomatic and consular places.
With good, well trained consuls the COM
merce of the country could be greatly in
creased. There is another thing that ought
not to be forgotten. 1t is that consus
should be paid living salaries. A few OF
them are we'll paid, but the great mass of
them do not get enough to justify them in
giving much attention to their Offices. A
reform in the consular service is badly
needed.
