Getting Hot.

Washington, ID. c., July 30.-The controversy
over the S.dslia postofhee is becoming heated. A
statement has been Published in Missouri TO the
effect that Mr. John D. Russell. the proprietor oi
the Sedsiis Democrat, has been promised the APP
pontment by the president and by Ir. Villas
This WAS shown to Representative Eeard, Of the
sedalia district, aud he was asked this evening
what there Was In II.
Absolutely nothing he replied with en-
phasis. There never was uttered published 3
more arrsnt IslsehoOd than that Mr.. Russell hss
received any such promise from either source. he
day before I left Sedalis a gen lemsu informed
me that Rus ell had just told him that the presi-
dent had promised him (RusseIN hat he should
have the lace within three months from the date
OF the promise, which time would pire in July.
or course l knew II was not true, but on arriving
here mentioned il 10 the presiden', who said,
with some NTH:
"'IT Is LIE,
pure and simple If ever saw the man 10 my
life don't know il. md would not know him II
he were TO enter tbs room now. / have never
thought OF the case, and suppose that when j
vacancy occurs in the office / win hear from il in
the regular way
al then suggested that Rus ell claimed to have
secured ms the P,e.ldenssl favor through some
land replied
Nonsense You k,ow, Mr.. Heard, that |
never promise anything, even if am going TO do
a few days sgo," continued Mr.. Heard, 81
spoke 10 Gen. Villas about the Washington tele-
gram of the 18th Of July, to the effect that the
ter general with Endorsement equ sting Inyesti-
CATION and seton, and that he VIlasl had sent TO
Mr.. Russell for

in writing Of the whole trouble between Russell
an m yself. Said Gen. Villas, with a broad smile
"'WeLl, Mr. Heard, You might have contra.
dicted that statement without waiting 10 see me-
II replied that knew there Was nothing in IL.
but that wanted bis authority FOR saying SO, when
he said:
"'You have il in the fullest measure IL Mr..
Russell an, body else brought papers 10 my Office
which related TO thing connected with this de-
partmeht, 81 would very naturally ssy, File your
papers for consideration at the proper Iime," but
that have T ceived any suggestions or indorSe
ments from the president, requesting anything in
connection with this case or IN the case has ever
been considered BY or spoken OF
BETWEEN The President AND MYSELF,
or that have in ny wey given Mr.. Rsssell Any
intinati m of encouragement in connection with
this matter, Is Also utely unirue >"
Said Mr.. Hearl, in conclusion: "Russell and
the belief that will be ignored IN the matter
OF The appointment of Blairs successor, aud 10 in
duce persons tacome 20 Russelps support I am
not at sll une tsy about the result"
The following, written by a promi-
nent Knight of Labor in Sedalia, to
the Washington Craftsman, and
which appeared in that paper on Au-
gust s, 1885, will not prove uninter-
esting in Sedslia just now:

How the Knights Of Labor Fig
ured in the Appointment Of
Sedalia's Postmaster.

The people will readily remember
what a bitter and vituperative fight,
j. ID. Russell made in the Sedalia
Democrat, in 1884, against Johnny
Trim, who was then a candidate fol
congress. Subsequently J. Trim an
nounced that Russell could not be
postmaster at Sedalia, and if in any
event he should be he Johnny Trim
would resign his seat in congress and
come home.
In July, Heard was interviewed in
Washington, which interview will be
found, as follows:

The str kers on the Gould system
while out, lost 81 000,00 in wages.
Did it pay?-Sedalia Democrat.
The Democrat has a remarkable
coat that it can turn to suit the pub
lie sentiment. A few weeks ago,
deeming itself on the popular side,
it was vigorously patting the strikers
on the back. We suppose, however,
Its hands are now blistered and
rest is desired. A short time ago it
was vigorously assailing Hon. Jno.
t. Heard, but with its usual artistic
sleight-of-hand I'VE wonder if a post
Office ever had anything to do with IT'D
it now tries to support the man it
spent so much space in condemning.

ty Leader.
The Anarchists of Chicago who took
part in the destruction of Rosenfelds
drug store are finding out that the
law cannot be violated with impunity
even in America. A score or so of
them were examined yesterday in the
police courts, and either heavily fined
or held i'm substantial bail for trial in
the criminal courts. The Chicago
Grand Jury to-day will take up the
cases of the Anarchist leaders who
melted their followers to riot, and
the prospect is that these law-break-
ers will presently get the punishment
they deserve. Does any one doubt
that the law, firmly administered,
is adequate for the maintenance of
good order in Chicago?-New York
Tribune.
The ex-city government of Sedalia,
sullen and sour, because they were
defeated for office, are now trying to
inaugurate quo warranto proceedings,
TO ease their wounded conscience, by
destroying the present city charter,
and thereby get themselves into Office
again. We know nothing about
the merits of the case, but it looks
like mean sort of vengeance, applied
just because somebody was beaten for
office. 1t seems that none but
officers Of the old government, who
wanted Office again, are now trying
to defeat the new government. 1t
seems that this fact alone should be
sufficient to threw enough suspicion
over the whole proceeding, to kill it
and we hope it Villa Monte Rec
ord.
The charge of Judge Mallory to the
Milwaukee Grand Jury goes a step
beyond any previous judicial express
sion with regard to boycotting, in the
respect of holding that any organiza-
ton whose officers or members are
bound by oath of agreement to re-
sort to violence for the promotion of
its interests and purposes may be
proceeded against under the criminal
laws on the charge of conspiracy. In
other words, it is insisted that men
may render themselves liable to
prosecution and punishment as con-
spirators by merely joining society
which authorizes or permits unlaw-
full acts under any circumstances.
This is somewhat radical, but that
does not imply that it is unsound
from a strictly legal point of view

CALDWELL, MAY %, 1886.
THE tribune is in every respect al

THE TRIBUNE is in every respect an
independent paper and proposes to TO-
main so. 1t has no axes to grind, does
not want to run for Congress, nor the
Legislature, and has no hankering for
polit cal matters at all. 1t is devoted
solely to tho best interests OF Cal fwell
and vicinity. and will al ways be found
advocating any measure tending to the
improvement and building up Ct the
town or country. IL is our aim to furn-
ish the spiciest, newsies and best local
paper in the county, and We sincerely
thank those friends who have aided us
thus far, and hope they will continue
the good work. But it is just as well to
clearly define our position now. The
TRIBUNE will rot take sides on any
petty neighborhood quarrels or missun-
derstandings. 1t il not our business to
do so. But our columns are always
open to the candid discussion Of any
subject of public Importance, and the
patrons of the paper may rest assured
that both sides will have an equal show
if they care to avail themselves Of the
opportunity. The TRIBUNE does not,
of course, hold itself responsible for tn
utterances OF correspondents, but will
gladly give them space if their words
are respectful and their subject of any
public importance. If this explanation
is not satisfactory let us know and we
will joyously spin out about a yard
more.

The commissioner OF patents, refer
ring 10 the action OF the house commit
tee on appropriations granting his re-
quest for an increase il his force Of two
principal examiners and tweuty-oight
assistants, said yesterday thatfor good
many years past the wook of examin-
ing applications for patents has been
considerably behind, and inventors have
been compelled to wait, in some cases,
good many months before their ap
plicauon could be reached for the first
examination. There are twenty-five
examining divisions in the patent office,
some of which are nine months in
arrears, and the result is that many in
ventors suffer largely in conseq lence of
delays in getting their patents. 1t is
claimed by the commissioner that with
this additional force, nc can, in shorl
time, bring the work practically up to
date, and then keep up snugly. He al
so believes that the additional compen-
sation which Will be required will be
more than made up by the increase in
the amount received by way of fees.
The patent Office is not only self-sup-
porting, but now turns into the treasury
yearly surplus of $4,000.

The asylum cost over $4,000 without
furniture. without heating apparatus,
without water, and with the grounds
still in their native sage brush; and yet
tle building is in no sense an extrava-
CANT one, nor one cubic foot larger than
il ought TO be. This board proceeded
to further expenditures; the comptroller
could find no authority in law to per.
NIT him to pay the bills; and hence the
whole mater was submitted, under an
agreed statement CT facts, to Judge
Hayes, who directed the comptroller to
audit and allow out OF the general fund
Of the territory, bills contracted by tie
commissioners for furniture, equipment
and maintenance. The small balance
remaining unpaid on the building
itself, and the necessary cost of eniarge-
ment and improvem mt, wi / come be-
fore the next legislature. The only
danger now is that the commissioners,
having no longer any check upon their
actions, will become extravagant. Thoy
have employed q superintendent at
salary of 81 500, besides his residence
and board in the asylum, and the furn,-
ture OF his rooms at cost, probably
exceeding the most expensive private
residence in the territory. Here are the
itams.

little stirring up. If there are not
men enough in the service to do the

added; if it is through carelessness, or
incompetency, the offender should be
promptly removed.
