Pension Office Economy.

Economy in public or governmental work is
always to be commended, and we think we
have it down to fine calculation when one
hour per day is added to the 1900 employees
of the population division of the Census
Bureau, making a clear gain to Uncle Sam's
plethoric pocket out of the already sorely-taxed
clerks of this division. Two hundred and four
teen days of unpaid labor is thus secured each
day-thirty-four weeks, eight months, etc,
gained. This plan really is an achievement to
be noted in the administration of justice to all
parties

The Democratic situation in the next House
will present some serious dangers. The majority
is going to be so large that it may lead to
recklessness Among so many new members
a number of new theories will be aired, num-
Der of untried and experimental propositions
will be offered, and as a result many useless
splits and needless divisions may be created
In some such way the great triumph might be
rendered almost wholly ineffective. What will
be imperatively required is adequate leadership
and perfect Democratic discipline. The leader
the hour will demand should be able and adroit
firm and conciliatory, self-controlled yet mag
netic and influential. Without such leadership
the Democratic party will fail to rise to the
height of the occasion and to make the best use
of its great opportunity.

The census correspondence between the New
York officials and the Interior Department has
developed degree of asperity which is greatly
to be regretted. The main question is altogether
aside from what Mayor GRANT may aIlege or
what superintendent PORTER may deny. 1t is
a larger question than any that can arise as to
the partisan purposes which may guide the pol
icy Of Secretary NOBLE or Governor HILL. 1t
is a question Of simple justice to a portion of
the American people. The only constitutional
warrant for any census legislation by Congress
is in the provision which ordans decennial re-
count Of the people of the country with a view
to reapportioning its representation in the
House on a fairand equal basis When an error
is made IN that count sufficient to affect the
equity of rhls representation it, a wrong against
our system Of government and gross injustice
to the people, When, therefore, a well-dehned
and q seemingly well-grounded suspicion arises
IN regard TO am error in the count il is the duty
OF tie administration, without regard to party
OF sectional consequences, TO do its utmost to
remove it, This does not appear to be the
course which the Census Office is inclined to
adopt, and therefore grayer suspicious will nat
urally be aroused.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-At the republi-

Dor hill managers made a ef-
fort to have that appropriation bill made
a special order for consideration to con-
clusion before the tariff bill is taken up,
and Representative Henderson made n
statement OF the reasons who thiss should
he done. The majority of the members
could not he made To taxi his view, for IL
was decided @ Ia lN that the tariff bill
was a matter of prime importance n
should be called up Wednesday. II was
agreed that the general debate will go on
for our days-Wednesday. Thursday. FRI
day and Saturday Of this week, with night
sessions for speeches. Eight days addi-
tional will then be allowed for the consid-
Grafton OF the bill 10y paragraphs under

The Kansas City Club Wins.

PHILADELPHIA, May BIN the suit of
the Kansas City American Association
club against John T. Pickett and the
Players club of Philadelphia, Judge Ar
mold to-day granted an injunction re-
straining Pickett from playing for any
other club than Kansas City during the
season of 1890. The judge in his decision
y i'm part: When we consider the fact
that the plaintiff, the Kansas City club,
paid for the release of Pickett from the
St. Paul club in May last $3.50 of which
sum of Sl,sO0 was paid to Pickett and a
salary Of S340 n month which vas regu-
lar and fully paid to him although he was
sick and unable to play nearly half the
season of 1889, his ingratitude is how to
be equal to his bad faith. While we can
not punish him for his ingratitudc We can
restrain him from deriving any benefit
from his breach of contract.
In regard to Pickett's plea that the
Kansas City club has transferred its mem
bership from the American Association
to the Western Association, and that il
has released others of its players, the
court says that he has stopped himself
from complaining as he freely acquiesced
in these arrangements.

The DENVER MYSTERY
No New Developments in The Butter0eld
Murder Case.
An Arrest That May Possibly Clear
Up the Mysterious Crime
The Theory Of the
Police.

DENVER, Colo, May 5.-Therc is II new
development in the Butterfleld mystery.
The police are Of the opinion that the
crime was committed by some man who
called Mt tile house for the purpose of
renting a room. Mrs. Butterfield went
upstairs to show him the room and he,
finding her alone. attempted to outrage
her, and in the fight which ensued, he
struck her a blow on the temple which
caused her death. The woman's clothes
were torn In shreds and the body badly
scratched. Finding hat the woman was
dead, the wretch covered the body with n
blanket, washed his bloody hands In the
washbowl in the room and left by the
back door, which he locked as he went
out: The crime was probably com
Saturday, and the body discov.
cred not until Sunday evening.
The dead woman at one time lived in
New York state, and her first husband, a
Mr.. Bryant. was killed in the war. She
had q divorced husband IN Butter
field living in Omaha. Late this after
noon the police brought TO the station 4
man who gave the name of Charles Mum
son, and occupations, painter. The right
side of the mans fac was very badly
scratched and his forehead IA i'm the
same condition. His left eye is quite
black, as IL from q gouge or blow, and his

man in the sweat box with very un
satisfactory results. He claimed to have

but could not tell who had scratched him
or when or where ii happened. Thil
story is so out of joint that he was locket
up. The scratches on his face look as |
they might nave been made within tn
