Removed for Active PartisanshIp.

Washington Special: The president has
found it expedient to heed the charge that
many federal officers are violating the or
der OF July last forbidding active participa'
tion in politics, by removing two officials
who were guilty OF violating it. One OF the
officials removed is a democrat and one is
a republican.
The two United States district attorneys
selected for sacrifice were n. Z. Benton
United States district attorney for the
Western district OF Missouri, and NJ. A,
Stone, United States district attorney for
the Western district OF Pennsylvania.
Benton is a democrat and Stone re
publican. The charges in Benton's case
which the president believed were sustain
ed, were that he had been making political
speeches throughout the campaign, and
that he is billed to speak continuously un'
til the day OF election. As soon as
the president examined the papers ir
the case he endorsed upon tbs
report: Let this man be suspend
ed at once" The circumstances were much
the same in the case Of the Pennsylvania
district attorney.

Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, says that dur
ing the past year the membersof that
order on ten different roads have APP
pealed for aid to adjust grievances,
and that in every instance a peaceful
and satisfactory settlement was made,
and an increase OF wages was secured.
The explanation lies in the fact, as
Chief Arthur tersely and strongly
puts it, that, according to the phil
osophy of the excellent organization
over which he presides. "there is no
real antagonism between capital and
labor, but only between work and
idleness."

sprinkling of the marvellous. Mr..
