ion, Jefferson, Clesrfeld. Cambria, In.
diana, Armstrong, Allegheny, Beaver,

tire congressional districts and half of the

represented by the new appointees except
Cameron, Elk, Mexican, Mercer and For
rest. In those four counties there are few
or no dIstilIeries or breweries
The Collector said that all of the old men
had not been removed because the service
would be injured by such action. Some Of
the storekeepers and gaugers have served
under former Republican Collectors. 1.-The
poorest men of the old force" said Mr..
Warmcastle, "were displaced first. 1t re-
quires some time to learn the work. Many
of these new men have been at work for a
month. Only eight or nine of them have
not vet been assigned to specific duty, but
they have been studying their work To
put set of green men into distillery
would considerably retard the work of the
diStiller.
BUSINESS TO BE LEARNED.
1t takes time for man to become a COM
petent gauger, or even a storekeeper The
positions require more learning and expert
ence than most people think. 1 have been
overrun with applications and recommended
tions. These appointments already made
have been, as rule, the result of consen-
sus of opinion among the Republicans of
the several counties. OF the 10 clerks in
the district, are new men; of the Is gaugers,
half are new; of the 25 storekeepers, have
replaced IA, and OF the 81 Storekeepers and
gaugers there are 16 new apDointees."
Mr.. Warmcastle said that he knew per-
sonally few of the clerks, storekeepers and
CANCERS. Most of them are young men. He
said he knew that Messrs. Chamberlain.
Whitten, Lsughlin, BARLEY, Shaw, Holmes,
Date and Given were Union veterans.
Gus Date will be remembered as veteran
captain in the Pittsburg Fire Bureau, who
was removed by Chief Brown last June.

man, mas been assigned to the work of de-
tecting evasions of the retail LIQUOR tax in
Pittsburg and Allegheny. His work will
