OFFICIAL PRESENT GIVING.

Secretary Fairchild's statements to our WISH
incton correspondent concerning the gratuity re-
ceved by Tax Collector Sullivan OF this city.
rom the Government employees In his office arc
simply amazing. The Secretary admits with care
less ind iferenee that he bad "never heard word"
about the statute prohibiting present-gving among
persons holding the rca ions OF master and servant
in the Federal employ. 1t is oil news Tn him.
1 his confession is even graver than Snllivans Of
fence. A Secretary of Cabinet portfolio placdly
comedies that he has never read tho statutes con-
corning his own duties and responsibilities. One
would suppose that they would be his primer. that
bis first business would DO TO ascertain what he
was required by law to do and avoid doing. But
even when Mr.. Farchld's attention is called TO
his duty in this he seems incapable OF seeing
it,
The improperly of this sort Of present giving

ntuitively. IL was xor the be'eiit OF officials

CHRISTMAS AND NEW rEARS SToEIE.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW- YEARS STOkIFS
The Western correspondent is not to be outdone
even by his Eastern brother OF the quill On
Christmas the public was served with story
from Wichita, Kansas, OF the discovery in hut
formerly occupied by Kelly, his son and
daughter of a cellar entered by trap-door, and
seven dead bodies three in the cellar and four
buried under the barn. The family had departed
"a while ago." and their departure caused no
comment as nothing was known against them.
The period Of time indicated by a while ago Is
made somewhat more definite by one MIR. Gregg.
representing St. Louis house, who was In the
habit of taking his meals at the hut when passing
and who missed the family as long ago as
November / 0. They were supposed to have re-
moved to. Old Mexico with their illgotten gains.
This so clearly resembles one of the nurses
stories in The Holly Tree Inn,' except in the
unimportant particular Of resultant meat pies,
that it would have seemed quite seasonable
Christmas tale but for the pcrsistency OF the
Wichita correspondent, who, six days later, gave
an account of the pursuit of the Kelly family by
a "posse Of citizens their discovery only hfty
miles south of the scene Of their crimes although
they had several weeks start. the escape OF the
old man. the capture and hanging OF Bill, ana
the shooting OF the daughter and OF Mrs heiiy'
who for the first time appears on the scene as tho
curtain falls.
Now comes to Hutchinson, Kansas, fresh from
No Mans Land a Mr.. H. b. Smith, who says thai
these thrilling incidents Of frontier life have not
been heard Of in the place where they are re-
ported to have occurred, and are believed to be
visionary But this contra diction had not reached
the rival ncwsmonger in Pierre, Dakota, who was
prepared to 81 seq the Wichita man and go him

the cellar were fourteen human bodies and rusty
iron bar with which the victims are supposed 10
have been dispatched by an accOmplice after the
prime villain had lowered them to their doom.
This approaches little more nearly the OLD
nursery story than the other; but the similarity
is so striking that while we recognize the enter
prise Of the Western correspondent and appre-
ciate his desire to entertain his Eastern friends
IN this festive season. mourn his lack OF versa
tility. Even the mammoth cave that was as
covered u few days ago resembled so nearly tne
one Of the week before that 1t was devoid OF
interest.

moral support which is brought out in hls be-
half would have tendency TO dispel the at

In urging the two Republican Senators from
New-York TO oppose the nomination OF Secre-
tary Lamar. the Republican caucus at Albany
interpreted the voice of the party throughout
the State. If either of our Senators chooses
to disregard this counsel, he will do 80 knowing
that he deliberately misreprcscnts the parsys
will. But it is impossible that either Mr..
Fvarts or Mr. Hiscock should care 10 place
himself in this position.
The preliminary Legislative wheels began to
Aurr at Albany last evening. The Republican
senatorial caucus named Senator Low Tor
President. This is an excellent choice. Mr..
Low Is one of the bcst-equippcd members OF
