PRIVATE SECRETARIES AND NEro-
TisM.-Now it is the commissioner
Of Indian affairs who is taking care OF
his family by placing his wife on the
civil list of the government at a sala-
ry of 81 900 year as his private secs
rotary. Pen sions Commissioner Tan.
ner appointed his daughter, an accom-.
plished young lady, 10 similar OFF,
cial relationship in the pension bu-
reau. Private secretaries have for a
long time been regarded as peculiar
personal appointments, not open to
party or public competition, but the
question may be legitimately raised
If the privilege Of choice is not be-
ing narrowed too much under the
present administration into a family
matter. 1t was formerly considered
that sons in this relation were not
particularly good for the public sers
vice; whether wives and daughters in
such places will be beneficial remains
TO be seen. Nepotism is not good
trait in a government, but when it is
begun in high places Is bound to
spread by force Of example. There
may have been few appointments
under the democratic administration
which gave offense politically, but the
vice Of Depotism was not character
istic.

To CONVENE CoNoREss IN NovBMo
BER.-A decided impression now
exists that the President has deter.
mined 10 call al extra session OF
Congress, to begin prior TO the fret
of November. Upon several occa-
sions lately he has taken the oppor-
tunity TO discuss with Senators and
members who have called upon him
the reasons and necessities for an ex-
ira session, indicating that his incli'
nations were turning in that direction.
Ii has taken some time to bring him
to this way Of thinkiBgj but tho fper-
sisient appeals of these who are de-
sirous TO have an extra session, have
at last bad effect, and there is little
if any doubt now that the session
will be called.
Although q variety OF arguments
have been advanced in favor Of an
extra session, the real and only rea-
son is the wish Of the republicans to
have the organization OF the House
perfected and the rules changed go
that when the regular session begins
in December they will be in . cOn'
dition TO go straight ahead with the
partisan programme which has been
mapped out. This programme 10
very pretty on paper, but it cannot
be carried out. Tue chances are
Just ninety-nine 10 a hundred that
when December comes the House
republicans will find themselves ex,
actly where they began at the first
call Of the roll of their extra session.

rules, afford. obstruCI and barass the
