Major Moore was found in his office
looking over large batch of applica-

was found that when the appropriation
reached the department IL had been cut
down from $85,000 to S64, ,043.8j, the
difference in the amount having been
paid for work done during the previous
year, the contract price being more
than allowed by Congress Mr..
Draney's contract dates from July /,
1887, and is for five years at figure
slightly in advance of the price Con.

The appropriation is now in such a

monthly expenses to about $4,000.
Nine streets are swept daily, ten tri.

DEPARTMENT. GRIEVANCES.

Al reasonable complaints and criticisms from
Government employees iCiH be published In
This column. Name and address of eOPiter

earnest of good .fdih.
Editor critic: At the beginning of each
Congress the President submits the estimates
Of the heads of the Departments of the
amounts required for the ensuing fiscal year.
These estimates are referred to the Commit
tee on Appropriate ms of the House. Year
after year requests are made for small in
creases In the salaries of deserving clerks,
who, as the Secretaries well know, work
early and late and have to deal with and
practically decide important questions. Each
year these requests are contemptuously ig-
nored, and that, too without the slightest
effort on the part of any member of the oom-
mittee to ascertain whether or not there Is
merit in the recommendation. AS the case
stands, trifiing, drunken clerk, with social
or other influence, is as highly regarded by
the Appropriations Committee as one who is
alert, industrious and efficient. No difference
is made between the two by the committee,
and If It is suggested that the head of the
Department should dismiss the inefficient
clerk, the chances are that powerful Con
gressonal pressure would be forthcoming to
secure the retention of the worthless one.
AS a cold fact, the head of a Department
knows the needs of his establishment better
than any Congressman, just why the small
body of men composing the Committee ON
Appropriations should be permitted to die
tate, not only TO the heads of Departments
but TO the entire Congress- is by no means
Gear and self respect should prevent Rep.
resentative9 from submitting to such dicta-
tion. The Appropriations Committee pre-
pare the bills in private, and ut their pleas
nre report them. For discussions Well,
hardly. Any member who arises to correct
an abuse or right wrong IS taken off his
feet by point of order, and the honora bic
members bow their heads and weakly allow
their collars to be snapped on. Take the
Navy Department as an illustration. There
are men there in charge OF Important duties
who are paid less than messengers or door
Keepers In Congress. Is this rightY Is there
no man in Congress with sand enough TO
stand up in his place and demand that an
end be put to the despotlc sway Of few

RICH MEN IN POLITICS.

The recent election of Calvin Brice
to the United States Senate has not been
accepted as a triumph of the politician
millionaire solely. While there has
been every reason to believe that his
immense fortune materially influenced
his success no positive proof of bribery
has been presented by those who, in a
general way. have accused him of buy
ing up the Ohio Legislature In squads.
For want of evidence The Critic sus.
pends judgment as to the rectitude of
his canvass, though to believe him
wholly wronged by the charges made
one would have to know him as the
most extraordinarily high minded man
of his age. His experience, however,
more than that of any member of the
august body which he is soon to join,
has emphasized the question, whether
riches should be prejudicial to political
ambition and public honor. Certainly
not Men who have acquired wealth
through industry and intelligence
should rank among the most desirable
and the best navigators Of the ship of
State. That they usually do not,
that so many of them would
wreck it as they might railroad, with
the same painless conscience and with
about the same end in view, is an evil
tendency springing not so much from
their own motion as from the major
impulse of the period. Men who acquire
wealth nowadays are either hardened
by the process, like the miser, or com
promised like the corporation agent.
Few succeed in going back TO the good
and generous thoughts they sometimes
had when poor. They seek political
activity, not because they have ardent
universal principles or ideas they wish
to put into action, but because of the
confirmation the honor, socially. seems
to give to the ability which raised them
above the financial condition Of their
fellows They are usually the offspring
Of great money interests or the repre-
sentatives Of great money power. They
act mainly for these and themselves.
People distrust and dislike the rich
man in politics because they secretly

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.--Archie
Borland, one of the most prominent
mining operators on the coast, died yes

came to California IN 1859 and at oucc
went into mining. He began like Mr..
Mckay and Mr.. Fair, as a common
miner and he knew the whole business
thoroughly. He went to Virginia City
when the Comstock excitement broke
out. He was the largest outside holder

could have retired with $5,000,0 900. He
afterward emerged with about $8,O0O,.
600. OF late years he has operated
many mines in Montana and Idaho, and
he owned, with George w. Grayson, a
big cattle ranch forty miles square in
Sierra County, New Mexico.

exercises attendant upon the presenta-
ton of flag to the Latin School yester-
day afternoon five boys in the battalion

circulation of the blood. The presenta-

half of the people living within ra-

Pleasantville have flocked to the site of
the uDearthed tomb of the people who
at one time ruled that land. Eight
skeletons were taken up at one place

the skeletons was one whose skull was
found encased in tortoise shell orna-
ments, oyster shells and beads. 1t is
probably that of the once powerful

still live along the shore. Four skele-
tons were dug up there and little far
