Now that the bars have been let down
and the entire herd is stampeding for
the rich pastures within the federal
fences, public attention is directed to
the prevailing appetite of the spoilH
| seekers under the reform movement
which swept away from republican
control the affairs of this government.
Official salaries and official allowances
are being Increased in all branches of
the public service. Among other items
tue salaries OF the governors of eight
territories have been increased, under
democratic rale, 1900 in the aggregate,
and of eight territorial secretaries SIS ,6O0
The surveyors general of the several
territories and statea enjoy an increase
of pay of from $500 to 500 each. In the
departments at Washington an increase
of over $4,000 per snnum in salaries is
noted, making total of over $4,000
per annum increase in the pay of of.
tioials in very small number of federal
offices. 1t is not claimed that the affairs
OF these offices are administered more
satisfactorily than under republican
rule or that there is any necessity for
an increase in pay, beyond the indi-
yidual necessities of democratic incum-
bents.
IIn connection with these disclosures
aur Aown beloved territory figures
along with the rest. One of its
disbursing officers is the secretary and
that he proposes to keep pace with his
party in the grand march towards re-
form is evident from his actions. He is
allowed $4,000 per annum by the gen
eral government with which to meet the
expenses of his Office and though he has
not yet consumed one-half the fiscal
year he is putting in claim for de-
ficlency to cover surplus already
created. Secretary Teller, republican
appointee, held the Office few days
more than one-half the fiscal gear and
expended during that time $659.14 of
the allowance. 10 meet the demands of
the succeeding half year
Qacking few days. Mr..
Teller turned over to Secretary Nc
Cormack, the democratic appointee, the
remainder of the years appropriation,
81 ,34OS6. This has gone into the hopper
of democratic eztragsgance end more
along with it and She reform administra-
ton of Dakota IS asking for deficiency
appropriation before the fiscal year
reaches its end. Thus, under democratic
economy, it takes more than twice as
much money to run tie secretary's Office
OF Dakota than was expended under the
alleged extravagance of the republican
party. We give this as an incident in
the grand reta&matory work of the demo-
cratic party. Results are beginning to
accumulate.

why Mr. Tod scorned the Dounle \

why AHr. Tod scorned the Double d.
Boston Traveller: One of Lincoln's IS
most esteemed friends, was Ex-Governor
Tod of OHIO. He was q quaint Cid
character, and MIR. Lincoln loved him
for his honesty, ability and native
ehrewdness. One evening when Tod
was in town Lincoln invited him over to
the white house. They had a long chat
together, when Lincoln finally said.
Look here, Tod. how is it that you spell
your name with only one ? married
Todd, but she spelled her name with two
DIS. All of her relatives do the same.
lou are the first Tod I ever met who
spelled his name with so few letters
Old Tod looked at Lincoln for q
moment in his peculiar quizzing manner
and then replied: "Mr President. God
spells his name with only one d, and
what is good enough for God is good
enough for me-" Lincoln used to repeat
this story to his intimate
friends, and every time he did so he
would laugh until the teafs ran down
over that furrowed but grand face.

Show me the shoes Of man after he has
worn them two months. and L will analyze for
you his character. In your shoes, for instance.
| see lack of energy, levitv, negligence. aud a
disposition to evade the fulfilling of dsagreeable
duties and obligations. The even wearing away
of the heels and soles of pair of shoes shows
that the wearer. if man. is one of good business
habits, energetic. prudent of good head, and
faithful in the discharge of his duties.
If woman's shoes are so they
indicate that she is, or is capable of
being, good wife and an excellent mother of
family. If the outer edges of the sole are
worn away much more than the inner one. the
wearer has an unstable, tickle character, prone
to ingratitude If the inner edges are the most
worn, it indicates rresolution and weakness in a
man and modesty in woman. A few months
ago stranger entered my store wearing a pair
of shoes that very worn on the outside
