MIR. Mobiles First Assistant.


When the Secretary of the Interior
has succeeded in Kidding himself OF
Tanner, he ought to devote serious
consideration TO the operations Of his
own First Assistant, Mr.. Cyrus Bussey.
There seems to be something of the
same temperament in Bussey that has
brought Tanner into trouble. Both
men are possessed of the idea that
they can override the rules of their
own departments and even the statute
laws whenever they feel disposed to
do so. Mr.. Oberly's exposure OF the
manner in which Mr.. Bussey is in
terfering with and overriding the
management of the Indian Bureau
commented upon by us recently
shows what kind of man Secretary
Mobiles first assistant is This is the
first opportunity the public has had
to judge of Mr.. Bussey's qualification
for public Office, for, like nearly all
the other men whom this Administra-
ton has lifted into official promi-
nence, he was an unknown man at the
time of his appointment, and, so far
as public knowledge of him went, had
shown no fitness for the work to
which he was assigned.-N Y. Post

THE DEBT STATEMENT.
Harr,.on's waste ef Revenues ir Order b
Keen Tn TaxatlCp.

The form Of public-debt statement
issued under President Cleveland was
such as to show at a glance the actual
finances Of the country. The Repub-
llcan Administration is beginning to
find this extremely inconvenient. Any
form OF statement which shows actual
conditions shows that the debt is be-
ing increased by the great increase OF
expenses under Mr.. Harrison. His
policy, announced in his party plat
form and in his own inaugural, is to
spend the revenues in order to keep
the taxes. The constant tendency In
departments managed on this policy
is to exceed appropriations and create
a deficit. In the second month OF the
fiscal year the Administration has
managed to increase the debt Sc, O00,-
OOO The record of debt management
for July and August, 1889. is SIS, 0O0,-
900 to the disadvantage OF the Admin
istration when compared with the rec
ord Of the same months last year.
When these facts appear from the
debt statement made September l, the
Globe-Democrat declares that the
form of the statement should be
changed. Treasurer Huston" it
says, lis thinking seriously Of return
ing to the old style again" on the
ground that such change will be a
great relief to many people interested
in the financial condition of the United
States"
No doubt it will. 1t will relieve Mr..
Harrison ami Corporal Tanner, as we'll
as all who find high taxes a blessing;
all who believe a deficit or debt an
evidence of prosperity, and all who
are in any way interested in first hum
bugging the people in order to swindle
them afterwards.
But this is not consistent attitude
for Mr. Harrison. He has boldly as
sumed that it is advisable to spend at
once all surplus money in tho Treas
ury. He has not promised t. increase
the debt, but if it is a good thing to
waste money already in hand, it is
even a better thing to create deficit,
ana 10 go deepef III uoo6' ii he 10 olh-
cere, he ought to give the widest pos
sible publicity to every deficit, and
every increase of debt he creates.
Should he attempt concealment by
jugglery in the debt statement, he will
convict himself of full knowledge of
the wrong of wasteful and extravaganza
administration of his public trust

Tanner. '!Don't resign; stand firm.
But the corporal, the commander tine
Grand Army, and the gathering hosts
OF greedy pension claimants are
routed by a Secretary OF the Interior
who preferred self-respect to contlnu-
ance In Office.
Whatever Of party embarrassment
there is in this situation the President
has brought upon it. He selected Tor
Commissioner of Pensions man no
toriously unfit for any executive place
Tacitly at least he encouraged his
fragrant exhibitions Of INSTRUMENTATION
and his constant appearance before
the country as a surplus buster.
And but for the manly stand OF Secre-
tary Noble the President would still be
found giving countenance to this mis-
chievous fellow. The irrepressible
Private Dalzell, scouting the sugges-
ton of the corporals removal, cried
out: mo, sir; he will not be removed.
IL he were removed Foraker would
decline to remain on the tick"
ct in Ohio. His doom would be
sealed from that hour. Tho SOL
diers are swearing mad; bowling,
cursing. damning mad, at the malice
and jealousy of the aristocrats who
are bounding our comrade to his
death. Woe, woo 80 them If they
down Tanner. for. by the God that
rules and reigns. if they touch hair
of his head we will scalp every man OF
| them"
Tanner is downed. The President
seeks to make his fall easy by throw
ing him into soft place, but he Is
down. The earth will not be con-
vulsed, though Dalzell so declares,
but an ugly situation is created for the
Presidents party by the President him
self. Foraker, who babe Tanner "Stay
with 'em, JIM" will have a bad half
hour, but he will go on with his can
vass just the same.-Chicago Times.

True Democratic PRINCIPLES,

There is no uncertain tone about the
platform of the Ohio Democracy, but

THE STRAIGHT COURSE.
Don't Keep One Rule for Business and
Another for Private Life.


Trickery or shuffling, or underhand deal
ing OF any kind, is form OF lying, and
therefore to be scrupulousiy avoided You
will doubtless hear it said, with u smile and
a shrug, that the truth can not always be
spoken in business matters" that every
artitice is fair in love and war;" and SO
forth; but these specious phrases are only
texts from the gospel of shoddy, and at
heart men are ashamed of them even while
they utter them They will try to salye
their own consciences and scar yours by
pooh-pooing strict integrity as UtOpian,
Quixotic, impractical Let them say what
they please, but take your own straight
course. Remember that those who are
most ready to defend craft and deceit arc
not the men who arc themselves to be i'm.
ptcitly trusted Let your communication
with others be of the most straightforward
and truthful kind Do not keep one Iule
for business and another for private life.
II it seems to you dishonorable TO tell or
hint a lie to friend or q relative, let 1t
seem equally dishonoTable to tell or hint a
lie to a client or a customer. Some years
ago a near relative of yours and mine had
large business transactions with foreign
merchant; this man asked our relative TO
send out certain packages OF goods marked
OF less weight than the real weight, the
object being to evade the payment OF
heavy import duty. II can't do it, said
our relative. Very well" said the for
eigner. If you won't there are plenty of
others who will and shall take away my
business from gu" This meant a heavy
loss. A few years afterward the foreign
merchant wrote to our relative to this
effect: Enclosed is u draft fer so much,
which please put to my credit / am send
ing my son to England to learn yGur way
OF business. There is nobody in whom
