Representative Stone, of Kentucky
has introduced bin in the house pro-
yidlng for the appointment by the
president of commission, the duty of
which shall be 10 consider and pass
upon the Justice OF all claims before
congress. 1t is claimed that the COM
mission can, at great saving to the
country, expedite the business of
congress and at the same time do full
Justice to claimants. From personal
acquaintance with Representative
Stone the writer is satisfied the mo-
tives that prompted the introduction
of the measure named were laudable.
1t does seem that great deal of time
is unnecessarily consumed by congress
In passing upon claims. But we fail
TO see what adv antage it would be TO
have a commission pass upon claims
instead of a committee of the house
as at present. The Recommendation
of commission for the allowance of n
claim would not have more weight
with congress than the favorable re-
port of a committee of its members.
The house would have to pass upon a
claim from the hands of a commission
just as il does from a committee. Be
sides, it would require as much time
TO investigate claims by a commission
as by a committee, and the former
would have no advantage over the
latter in the matter Of getting at the
merits of a claim. Were il not for
the honesty and sterling integrity of
the author Of the proposition, of
which we have the fullest confidence.
it would be an easy matter for us to
conclude il was schem TO increase
the patronage of the president and
make nice fat places for few political
pets; such, however, we do not believe
is primarily the purpose of the meas
ure.

RIs RECORD AGAINST HIM.

In mis- message vetoing the general
appropriation bill, the Governor devoted
a good deal Of space to assertions of
love, affection and consideration for the
people of Utah, and to the declaration
that he had never entertained other
than the kindest sentiments for them.
1t happens that His Excellency's- six
years record is very well known IN the
community, having been written and
published day by day as he made it;
and it is very unfortunate for the Gov
ernor that that record is a standing
contradiction to any professions of
kindly regard for Utah and her people.
Before Murray came to the Territory
lie crowded into the newspapers with an
nOuncements of his antagonisn to the
people here; his first public u,terances
manifested deep seated enm'ty towards
the community, and during his entire
career he has never permitted to pass
unimproved On occasion for insulting
and abusing the people; he has given
aid and comfort to their enemies
at all times. and has been
most persistent and vindichve in
his efforts TO iniure the people in their
persons and purses. Wedefy Governor
Murray and all his admirers to point to

The Senate judiciary committee will, or

AIDING THE ENEMY.

Truly is this peculiar administra
ton. There is no doubt as to who
elected Mr.. ,leveland sheriff, mayor
Governor and President. 1t was the
Democrats. Previous to the gentle
mans election to the last named Office,
there was no doubt as to his politics.
He was a Democrat in profession and in
actions. But when the votes were
counted and the result declared, Mr..
Cleveland all of a sudden discov-
cred that a President should have
neither party nor partisan po!ities-un-
less they were of the Mugwump variety.
Overcome by that impression, he has
steadily drlfted away from the politicaI
organization which elevated him to
responsibility and power; and as he has
gone from the Democracy he has ap-
preached the opposite. and to-day is
more Republican than Democrat He has
steadily and sturdily turned his face
against putting the executive servants of
the country into harmony with the
majority party of the nation, thous-
ands of Republicans holding Offices to
which they were appointed by his pre-
decessors of the past twelve or fifteen
years. He has even done more in the
matter of giving aid and comfort to the
enemy, a fair per centage of his own
appointments having been Republican
This subject has been called up again
by the receipt of an account of what
is going on in Idaho. Some time ago
THE HERALD noted the departure from
Washington of Fred Dubois, the
United State. Marshal for Idaho,
prominent and active Republican. 1t
now transpires that one object of Du-
bois' mission was to bring about the -e-
moval of certain Democratic postmasters
and what seems strange:under ordinary |
circumstances, his efforts are beirg |
crowned with success. He has been able |
to cause changes in several of the |
offices in southeastern Idaho, and " nat !
is remarkable, the new men are invari- |
ably Republicans. In one instance the |
appointee is not only a Republican but
an alien. A Republican who had been
appointed to an important posoffice at
the solicitation of Dubois, declined the
effice and in letter to the Department
set forth his reasons for refusing, two OF
which were that he did not belong to
the party in power, and that the incum-
bent was a good man who had faith
fully performed the duties of the office,
and should therefore be continued in
the place especially as he was the choice
of the people whose mail was received
and distributed at the Office. A remark
able feature of this business is that
HALEY. the Idaho Delegate to Congress
a Democrat, has unsuccessfully tried to |
defeat these changes; the Republican
Marshal Dubois has more influence with |
the professedly Democratic administra-
ton than the Democratic Delegate.
1t is understood that Dubois expects
the Republican nominatin for Congress
Bext fall and that his object in getting
offices for members of his party is to
further his ambition and increase his
influence. 1t is no credit to Mr.. Cleve-
land that he is allowing himself and his
administration to become a party to
this scheme in the political interest OF
an open enemy to the Democratic party.

Man for Master.

A good story is told about town at this moment, says Pittsburg Dispatch cor respondent. There is q great demand for persons connected with the foreign legation. They are invited everywhere. Young attaches who could not get in- side of fashionable door in London, Paris, Berlin, or the city from whence they came, are here lionized to degree that makes their heads swim. They are naturally delighted with America, and float along on the surface of the fashion able current of Washington as big as Newtown pippins. Some of these fel- lows actually live on their invitations to dinner, only paying for the breakfast at some cafe. We'll, the story goes that one of them was asked to dinner by family, the heads of which were total strangers to him. He knew that invita- tions had been extended to others of his set, who had declined, so he was quite certain it was not his person that was wanted. Meeting another young fellow the latter suggested that an experiment. be tried
 ''Give it to your valet" said his merry friend. "T'll wager they will never dis cover the difference; he's such bloody Englishman. They don't know you. All they want is somebody there, you know. By love! what lark"
 "I'll do it" said the other. And he did. Instructing his valet, who is fully as polite and genteel looking as his master, the latter posted off to the resi- dence at the proper hour in the legation carriage.
 What transpired there may be imag- ined, from the fact that among the din- ner guests given in the society papers was the name of the young secretary, and from the accountof the affair which has leaked out through other servants to whom the valet confided the story, it would seem from the latter that the valet got along very we'll until the wine began coming around to him too ire quently. He knew all about his mas- ter's affairs, and discoursed on diplo- matic matters with exceeding volatility. As he got mellow, however, his dignity gave way, and his gossip became that interesting stuff retailed by servants be- low stairs. To anybody who had been accustomed to move in diplomatic socie- ty, his talk would have betrayed the real state of the case; but the parvenues who were entertaining him were igno- rant, and accepted his vulgarity as the eccentricity of foreigners. They piled every courtesy upon the valet until he could no longer bear them, but was fn- ally interrupted in the act of making love to one of the ladies of the house, put into his carriage quietly, and sent home. To the credit of the family, it may be added that the young secretary never got another invitation.

Zulirk .n tho "Thirte~nth.'

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--In isoly to a request from Senator Merrill, chairman of the Senate committee on territories, Gov. Zulick of Arizona has furnished a statement of the territorial debt and how incurred. The statement shows the ter ritory has outstanding warrants amount. ing to SI7o,o4S, upon which it pays in. terest at the rate of 10 per cent. per an- mum. In the tabulated statement ef the bonded indebtedness appear the follow ing items: Insane asylum, SIoo,ooo; Cila river bridge, SI 5000; territorial uni- versity, $2s,ooo. The expenses of the last Legislative assembly, in excess of the congressional appropriations, are shown 10 have been S5I.I52. The indebtedness of the several counties of the territory aggregate $i,IoI, ,626 In concluding his report, Zulick says the enormous debt caused by bonds and appropriations may be properly characterized as useless and evlravagant legislation; "a wanton mis- appropriation of public funds to pur- poses from which the people derived no corresponding benefit. The insane of the territory are cared for at the asylum at Stockton, Cal, for six dollars per week for each patient, which is mucl less than we could keep them for ourselves had we the asylum built. We require no univer- sity nor a normal school; the wagon road and bridge bonds are properly coui.. ty and not territorial charges; the appro- prlations for the expenses of the last ter ritorial assembly in excess of the con gressional appropriations for that purpose, are Tn my judgment, clear violations of the federal statutes. We have a debt when all the appropria- ,ons of the last assembly are provided for, of nearly S7oo,ooo, upon which the territory must pay an annual interest of over Sso,ooo, result of rccklessness and extravaganza of the legislative govern. meut."

A Cool Illustration.

A Marietta, Ga., correspondent writes to the Atlanta Consultation the follow ing: Cobb superior court met here last Monday, Judge Joel Branham, of Rome, presiding Judge Brown was disquali- fled from presiding. Judge Branham has won many golden opinions from our people by the impartial charges to the juries and his just but lenicnt sen- tences
 The charge of Judge Branham to tbe grand jury was strikingly forcible, and particularly so in expounding the duties of working the public roads. In regard to breaking up the practice of carrying concealed weapons, he gave an illustra- ton that came under his observation while practicing attorney in Rome. He had clerk in his office who was in the habit of carrying derringcr pistol in each of his vest pockets. This he tried to persuade him not to do, but he was persistent in his purpose. A client made remark to the clerk after he (Branham) had lost his case that he made no effort to do his duty in the matter. On accosting the client about it he denied making the statement. The clerk and the client and Judge Bran. ham all met in the law office, when the clerk wanted to know of the client if he denied making the aforesaid remark. The client emphatically denied it, when the clerk, who was seated at the table writing. looked up and simply remark ed: You have lied, that's all." The client, who was a large, muscular fell low, picked up the tongs and was in- tending to brain the clerk, when the aforesaid clerk placed his fingers in his vest pocket and pulled out derringer, and, without getting up from his seat, rested his hand on the table and ex- claimed: "You put down those tongs!'' The man very prudently put down the tongs. When he had left the clerk said to Judge Branham: "You have always insisted that I should not carry pistol. as l would have no need of 1t. Now, suppose that had not had that weapon that fellow would have killed me with those tongs." Mot at all probable" replied Judge Branham. "Whyp" in- terrogated the surprised clerk. Be cause" replied Judge Branham, If you had been without pistol you would not have called the fellow liar" This was a revelation to the clerk, and he abandoned the practice of carrying con- cealed weapons.
