Looks Very Reckless.

An Enquirer correspondent, who has been
investigating, gives some rather startling
figures in regard to the Roster of Ohio Sold
iers.
The work 80 far, under the present State
administration, has cost something in ex-
cess of 100000, and is said to be only about
two-thirds completed. This would bring the
total cost up to something like $25OOOO, or
about eighty cents for each soldiers name in
the book, and it consists mainly of names.
There were BIS, 180 names of soldiers on the
rolls of the State of Ohio. They ought to be
copied and printed for less than one-fifth of
$25O,CO0. 'i.5 81 u. 5.lt g. E, -... III.
Ten efficient clerks, copying at the rate OF
100 names each per day, could copy them all
in year. At a salary of $1,000 each, the
cost of copying would be $4,000. 5''ir':
This would leave $4,000, to pay for the
printing-an ample, nay an extravigant sum
But ten or dozen clerks have been draw.
ing salaries for nearly four years, and the
work of copying is yet incomplete.
What have these clerks been doing?
Whose interest have they been serving
while drawing generous salaries out of the
State Treasury?
These are the questions that ought to be
answered, and answered fully and frankly by
the men who are responsible for palpabIt
waste and extravaganza.
Silence or evasion will not satisfy the pub
| lie mind.
Neither will false and malicious assault:
upon the personal and professional standing
of Democratic candidates satisfactorily ex
plain why this monstrous job should be car
ried on in the name of patriotism. b,
| Some of the men who are drawing these
salaries make personal defamation of Demo
Gratis their daily profession. H. II
They copy no soldiers names and deeds
but blacken with infamous lies and indecen
insinuations the name of every prominen
Democrat and every Republican who opposes
third term and boss rule, and draw thei
salaries for their work out of the State Treas
ury. ..-
| It is a shameless public robbery; t..
! Our own Capt. Palmer was at one time EN-
ployed upon this work and was fred by For
aker. Probably he can throw some light OF
the matter. We don't believe the Forake
gang are such ideal fellows in the Captain
mind as they were once upon time.

tB- Susan B. Anthony is great lover of
women. Susan B. is woman's rights agi-
tator. She never had any use for man, and
in her days of youth and beauty very cum
ningly avoided being caught in any matri-
monial snare. Miss Anthony is now aged,
the memory of man runneth not back to the
day of her birth, but it is thought to be con-
temporaneous with the discovery of America,
from the fact that she does not wish to have
eminent women of that day forgotten, and
suggests that a special celebration in 1892 be
given in honor of Queen Isabella. An ex-
celent idea, ancient dame, and we hope to
see the good and magnanimous queen hon
ored.

.EYou can't get ahead of a live Yankee.
He can jump higher and stay up longer, dive
deeper and stay down longer than any other
mortal. The moment man in any quarter
of the globe makes discovery the Yankee
shifts the air in disdain, and within fifteen
minutes either finds or invents something
that makes the poor foreigner "tired." AS
for example,:
A we'll of water has been discovered near
Wharton, Texas, that knocks the elixir of life
silly. After drinking one glass of it men
dance like jumping Jacks, sing, yell, pray,
quote blank verse, comfort and act the fool

REID's CONFIRMATION.
A Queer Bit of Executive Session Gossip
Concerning How 1t Was Done.

A Queer Bit of Executive Session Gossip
Concerning How 1t Was Done.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-[Special. IA queer
bit of executive session gossip, connected with
the confirmation of Whitelaw Reid, editor of
the New \ Ork Tribune is floating about here.
1t is said that Reid was only confirmed, after a
long and lively executive session, by majority
of one vote, or one more than is required to
confirm, and that this vote was furnished by
the democratic Senator Hearst of California
upon the strength of a distinct pledge that
Radbourne, the present consul-general at Paris,
should be retained. 1t is not explained why
Hearst was so much interested in RadbOurne.
The story of the deal was obtained by the
correspondent of the New York World
and sent TO that journal, but strangely enough.
il declined the choice mOrsei. In newspaper
circles it is supposed that the reason the World
refused to print the story was a social one.
Mr.. Pulitzer of the World is now in Paris with
his wife and expects TO remain there some time.
1t is known that they are consumed by an am
bition to shine in fashionable circles If the
World had made the deal by which Reid es-
capped rejection, he would probably have felt
aggrieved, and Mr.. Pulitzer and wife could not
have expected to receive those attentions from
him as minister 10 France, and those social in
Productions they crave so eagerly. 1t is said
that all the New York newspapers had the
story, but declined to use it out of Journals
tic courtesy toward Reid"

The Journals" Printers Give the Colonel
Walking Stick.
Col. John c. New. the new consul general to
London, was treated to quite a surprise last
night The colonel is in the habit of going to
his Office about s O'Clock every evening and
spending two or three hours in looking over
the papers and attending TO duties of a light
nature. Last evening, shortly after taking a
comfortable seat in the editorial room, who
should march in by twos but the entire typo
graphical force, headed by C. J.. Divine, fore
man, and Frank Eckert, assistant foreman.
Mr.. Eckert made a short speech in which he
voiced the feelings of the printers employed on
the paper, hoping that the colonel would have
a prosperous journey and happy sojourn
abroad. Mr.. Devine then presented to the
colonel an elegant gOld-headed ebony cane
with crutch handle, on which was engraved
Hon. John c. New, presented by indianapolis
journal Union Printers. 1880" This token of
esteem entirely unexpected by Col. New
and for few moments he was quiet overcome
evincing considerable emotion. After he had
recovered his voice somewhat be said in reply
that he was deeply affected by the gift, but
that the printers must not judge of their own
merits too lightly, that much of the success Of
the paper was due to the mechanical presenta-
bility which they gave to the appearance of
the paper by their skilled labor. However
valuable might be the services of editors and
reporters, still at last to the printer was due
the greatest success of the newspaper.

DOES HovEY BREAK FArH7

Members of the Newly Chosen Boards Ac-
cuse Him of Unfair Dealing.
Gov. Hovey was seen at his parlor in the
New-DenisOn last night and asked concerning
his attitude toward the recent decision of the
supreme court.
Il observe, governor, that you are quoted as
consentIng to issue commission to Carson as
trustee of The insane hospital. Is this cor.
rect?'
1T isl he returned. 81 have no desire to
hinder the law"
"You are further quoted as saying that there
are number OF persons chosen by the legsla-
ture not affected by the decision-the trustees
for each of the additional hospitals for the in
sane, the state geOlOgist, the mine, oil and
gas inspectors, the directors of the prison
north, the trustees of the blind asylum, the
state board of health and the custodian and
engineer of the state house. Is this your iudg-
mentP
''The quotations are correct" said the gov
ernOr. That Is entirely my conclusion"
1t would appear from this that Gov. Hovey
does not intend to issue commissions to the
trustees of the other institutions until they
have secured favorable ruling from the SUI
preme court. In speaking of this apparent
decision of the governor one of the newly
elected trustees said last night:
IF Gov. HOvey withhOlds our commissions
he will be acting in exceeding bad faith. When
the Carson ease was taken M Gov Hoyey
agreed with our attorneys that this should be a
test case-that on 1t the others should hinge.
We therefore chipped in. and helped bear the
expense of the case. Now that il has been de-
cded against the governor, he proposes to
keep the rest of us out. 1t isn't fair deal at
his commission as trustee OF the insane hOspi-
tai tomorrow

WASHINGTON NEWS.
ChiIdren's Day at the White House-Mr.
Durham's Resignation.


WASHINGTON, April 22.-Easter Monday is
known children's day at the white house
and in the spacious grounds surrounding it. To-
day the infantile boomers in imitation of their
adult prototypes who crossing the border
into the promised land of Oklahoma, swarmed
into the white house grounds. made their loca-
tons the grassy knobs and proceeded to
the joyous occupation of rolling brilliantly
dyed Easter eggs. The merry laughter of
hundreds of children rang in the ear, and the
pretty costumes OF mothers and maids who
came to keep a watchful eye over their rollick-
ing youngsters rendered the scene an attractive
one. and one which the occupants of the exec
utive mansion frequently appeared at the win
dows to admire. The merriment and pleasure
OF the occasion was enhanced by an order
issued by Secy. Tracy requiring the Marine band
to furnish music for the little ones during the
afternoon, and many impromptu dances were
INDUCED in.
The president was mot at home" to general
callers to-day. Atty. Gen. Miller was the only
person admitted to his presence during the
forenoon. The usual tri-weekly reception to
the public was held in the east room in the az
tcrnOOn, and the crowd there was augmented
by the merry bands of children who ceased
their play on the lawn to go in and shake hands
with the president.

THE PUBLIC PRINTER
Intimation That Russell Harrison May Be
Delaying the Appointment.

Intimatton That Russell Harrison May BE
Delaying the Appointment.
Helena (Mont) Special
There is a well authenticated rumor that
Russell Harrison has more to do with the nom
appointment OF government printer than the
general public knows. 1t seems that the action
of the Helena typographical union in not
allowing daily papers to use reading matter
plates has induced Mr.. Harrison to approach
certain aspirants for the place now at Washing
ton, who are also members of the typographical
union, and by promises 10 them of rendering
his influence in their behalf, induced them to
endeavOr to have the Helena union rescind its
action.
1t is said that some, or all, of these aspirants
have communicated with the Helena union.
giving il to understand that the appointment
of a government printer is delayed because of
its stand on the plate question, and that if it
will reScind its action a union man viii be ap-
pointed. Ii the Helena union does not con-
cede this point to Mr. Harrison, the intimation
is given that man OF non-union sentiments
will receive the Office.
1t is also said that if the local printers do not
coincide with Mr.. Harrison, the position of
government printer will be kept open until the
meeting OF the international Typographical in
June, when the men who are after the Office
will endeavor to have that body either take
the privilege of deciding on that question out
of the hands of local unions or allow their un-
restricted use IN all offices.
