DIVIDING THE SPOILS.
Senator Farwell Helping Out
the President.
He Believes in Home Rule to
a Certain Extent,
And Advances a Plan for the
Distribution Of Offices.

WASHINGTON, March 1l.-Senator
Farwell OF Illinois has a scientific plan Tor
the equitable distribution of federal
patronage and is trying hard to have it
adopted by the new administration. In
the first place." SAID the senator, II be-
lieye in thoroughly partisan service from
top to bottom. That's what we are here
for. That's what parties exist for. 1t is
not a question of spoils, nor having the
administration Republican. when the Re-
publican party has been elected by the
people. L would begin by abolishing
right away that committee of schoolmas-
ters-the civil service commission-be-
cause there is no sense in it.
II would observe the principles of home
rule in SO far as regards post offices and
other federal offices which are local.
Offices should be graded from the lowe st
to the highest. | would have the Offices
distributed through the congressional del
egations. but 1 would have no fighting,
striving or grabbing about it. Instead Of
having congressman and politicians swarm
ing to the white house and badgering the
president and claiming everything so that
the aggregate claims amount to ten times
more than the entire patronage of the
government, the president should furnish
the congressional delegation with a list of
Just what a state is entitled to.
"A set of such lists could be prepared
in a very short time by a clear headed
statistIcian. The state hat had a cabi-
net officer would have to do with a smaller
portion of minor offices and if the foreign
missions did not go around these states

fed with a smaller proportion Of subordi-
nate appointments. 1t would be a very
easy matter to have the offices properly
listed and rated so that while the entire
administration would be thoroughly Re-
publican no one Republican district would
have more than its share compared with
any other"

in every respect. Yet Warren will proba,
bly, get it, as he has the popular endorse.
ment and the political pull.
For United States marshal, to succeed
I. JEFF Carr, VIM. Schnitger is most
prominently mentioned.
"Ex-Receiver Hurlbut and Mr.. Par.
shall are conspicuous candidates for the
land Office.
"Ex-Surveyor General Jack Meldrum
wants to be secretary OF the territory.
"Ex-Surveyor General David is sup
posed to again be a candidate for that
office.
"One thing is certain. the people will
expect home appointments from Harri-
son; and they will expect local endorse
ment to have the most weight. While,
as a Democrat, | do not feel like saying
anything against Governor Moonlight, it
is still true that all the Republicans and a
very large number OF Democrats are deter.
mined that he shall go speedily"

o HOME RULE.
The President Explains His Policy in
Plain Terms.

CLEVELAND, March 1.-THE Wash.
ington correspondent OF the Leader tele.
graphs his paper tonight what President
Harrison's policy is regarding civil service,
gathered from remarks made BY the pres
ident in an interview with a party of con-
gressmen who had presented the claims
of certain individuals for appointment.
The president said he was determined to
live up to the plank relating to civil ser
vice reform in the Republican national
platform, and will select men to fill terri
torial Offices from the territory where per-
sons may be found. In Alaska there are
no party organs and no public press,
which makes it necessary that the gov
erDor OF that territory should be a man
of such high character as not to need
such supervision as other territories are
subjected to. There was use for the
existence of political parties and the
printing of newspapers. He would en-
deavor for this particular office to find a
man who will not need any such spur to
do his duty.
The attention OF the president was called
to alleged inefficient railway mail service,
the PRONUNCIATION of the late administra-
ton OF the service under the provisions of
the civil service rule. The president re-
piled that he would soon revoke that
order, but would modify it somewhat. He
will have a rule touching reinstatements
changed where it is specified a dismissed
employe may be restored by having the
words within one year stricken out.
The order will take effect on the 18th Of
June instead of the 18th of Macrh.
On the subject of removal from the
general classified service the president
said: | would not have a man removed
simply because he belonged to one par
ticular party or the other. There should
be good substantial reasons for the dis
mIssal OF clerks and officials generally, bat
L hold it is not necessary that cause
should be specified in all cases.
Respecting appointments generally the
president said he should follow the sug.
gestion of senators and representatives
and expected those gentlemen to recon-
mend only good men for office. In con-
clusion he urged his visitors to go slowly
and not press too hard for removal OF
present incumbents. He said in effect he
wanted to be sure he was right in every
case and then would go ahead.

The matter of the judgeship will
have to be decided by the voters as to
their choice in November. As per
agreement, Judge L. X. Pratt and S.
d. Decker met at Norton last Mon
day, and after a lengthy consultation
they agreed to disagree, thus leaving
both candidates in the field. We had
hoped that this difficulty might in
some way be satisfactorily settled, b ut
as we stated a few weeks ago, both
parties were so determined, as shown
by the Atwood convention, that set
Element would be hard to reach. The
people will now be called upon to set
tie this matter at the polls. This con-
test should not enter our county poll
tics, and should not be 50 conducted
as to endanger single candidate in
our county; yet, unless thoroughly
guarded, will have its effect in every
county in the district. Unless other
wise settled by the candidates, We
shall feel at liberty to support the
present incumbent, Louis K. Pratt
without prejudice to any mau or sci
of men, and We are willing to concede
the same privilege to any American
citizen, and again repeat that we are
sorry this difficulty could not have
been settled by the candidates them
selves.-Phillipsburg Dispatch.
