A bill has been introduced in the New
York State legislature by Assemblyman
Hoag making the defeated candidate for
Mayor receiving the second largest vote
a member of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment of New York city. Mr..
Hoag is Republican and the end he
aims at by his measure is to secure a
Republican vote in that most important
department Of the metropolis. 1t is a
good scheme but it has one defect. 1t
does not provide for an emergency such
as happened in 1886, when the Republi-
can candidate was third in The Mayoralty
race.

A bill requiring the semi-monthly pay
ment of all wages in legal tender was
introduced in the Wyoming legislature.
1t was demanded by the workingmen to
put an end to the Internal truck system,
which is in full swing in Wyoming. 1t
encountered a determined opposition
and on the vote for its final passage was
defeated, the so-called ''labor member
from Evanston, elected on an old party
ticket, boldly voting may. The wor-
kingmen are indignant at this conduct
of the "labor member, and rightly so.
Will they learn the lesson from this ex-
perlence, that no relian ce can be placed
on "labor members unless they are
elected and controlled by Independent
labor parties?

the Government Machine.

I'm ALL the government departments are
III officials who rank next to the cabinet Off
cers, upon whom devolve mos. Of the
work Of administration and who in the
absence Of the Secretaries are frequently called
upon to bear all the responsibilities Of the head
of . department. This week The STAB adds to
Its portrait gallery of the assistant secretaries.
The gentlemen whose faces and biographies
sppear below are now engaged in an effort
and a very successful one-to smooth out the
official paths Of the Secretaries of State, War,
the Navy and Agriculture.
In the State Department there are three
assistants-ranked first second and third.
The first assistant is the main factotum in
diplomatic affairs in the absence Of Mr.. Blaine.
While the Secretary is here he takes from his
shoulders the burden Of receiving callers who
have eyes ont for consulships, either
for themselves or for others, and he also has
supervision over the general executive bust
ness Of the department The second assistant
watches over such matters as relate to the cor
respondence OF consuls. The third assistant is
the law officer of the department. and. together
with the solicitor, passes upon claims for
money and redress by American citizens or by
foreign nations and upon acquisitions from
other governments for the extradition of
criminals.
In the war department there mas never been
an assistant secretary since the war until the
passage of recent bill providing for such an
officer again The duties OF the assistant in
this department. conform very closely to those
OF the Secretary himself. He does not receive
visitors, but does large amount of hard work
in the examination Of all matters relating to
the file of the army applications from private
soldiers for all sorts of things-pardOns. dis
charges, promotions, complaints go to him to
be approved or disapproved, thus saving the
Secretary a vast amount of routine labor.
The assistant secretary of the navy simply
helps the Secretary to bear the wear and tear
Of she executive business of the department.
He sees the bureau officers about matters con-
nected with the service, talks to the less im-
portant callers about patronage and places and
signs a large amount of mail matter to give his
chief more time. In the Agricultural Depart
ment the assIstent secretary has control of the
scientific policy end operations of the follow
ing sections and divisions: The botanical divis-
ion, the section Of vegetable pathology, the
genealogical division, the microscopical divis-
ion, the chemical division-except the sorghum
sugar experiments-the pathological division,
the forestry division, the chronological diyis-
ion, the silk section and the office of expert
mental stations.
