Tucson, Ariz.. June 18.-At the court
martial trial of Major Kimball, chief
quartermaster of the department OF Ari
zona, today, Colonel George H. Weeks,
chief quartermaster of the department of
Texas, member of the court, testified
that it was customary for, and the duty
of local quartermasters to provide offices
for the disbursing officers of his station,
and in effect that the course followed by
Major Kimball, in the execution of
leases, was identical with that pursued
by him. Major Kimball then submit
ted letters from Major-general Nelson A.
Miles, of San Francisco, and Brigadier-
general Grierson, of Los Angeles, to the
acknowledgement of the army at Wash
ington. General Grierson states that
in his judgment, Major Kimball
has not been guilty of any negligence
justifying his trial by court-martial, and
he requests that the order for his trial
be suspended and that the charges
against Major Kimball be investigated
by some disinterested officer. General
Miles invites the attention of the adju-
tant-general to papers recently forwarded
to Washington showing the details of
the renting of offices at Tucson. Gen
eral Miles also sets forth the nature of
Major Kimball's complaint, and calls
attention to the fact that Major Kim
ball was ordered to Arizona at time
when terrible Indian war was in pro-
gress and discharged his duties with
marked ability and strict fidelity. He
recommends that if his explanation is
satisfactory the secretary of war direct
that further action in Major KimbalPs s
case be suspended.

The New York Sun, which has been one Of

which demand consideration as well as the
interests OF these roads. American citizens

The curious argument is made for Mr..
Carlisle's election to the Senate that mas
much as his infrmities disqualify him for
the House he ought to be transferred to the
Senate. This argument seems to proceed
upon the assumption that the Senate is a sort
of home for broken down statesmen. That
surely was not the idea of the founders of
the government. They intended certainly
that 1t should be the equal Of the House as
regards the mental equipment Of its members
andt Its. superior in legislative experience.
1t is fast becoming inferior in both re-
spects. The bad habit which has grown
up in the western States Of electipg
men to the Senate simply because they are
millionaires has done much to weaken it
and now If mensare to be sent there because
they are broken down statesmen it wont be
many years before the Senate becomes as in
consequential as the House of Lords.

The Hon. Benjamin Butterworth is re-
ceiying no end of compliments from the free
trade press because he has expressed dissent
from some Of the propositions of the McKin-
ley bill. To thus break with his party is in
their estimation the highest kind of inde-
pendence. Well, the Hon. Samuel J. Randall
once broke with his party by opposing tn
provisions of the Mills bill. but we fail to re-
member that any Of these papers which are
so ELUSIVE in praise Of Mr.. Butterworth,
ever complimented him on his independence.
Hence arises the suspicion that 1t is not Mr..
Butterworth's independence that pleases
them SO much as the hope, born of his
speech, that the Republicans may not solldly
support the Mckinley bill.

First Assistant Postmaster General Clark
son is not a believer in civil service reform.
As much might be guessed from the rapidly
with which he cut off the heads of the fourth
class postmasters appointed by the last ad-
ministration. Mr.. Clarkson appears to fear
that the result of the present method will be
build up permanent Office holding class.
Ii that danger exists. it is pretty evident that
civil service reform has not advanced any
where near far enough yet to put 1t In sight
of the naked eye. The people had the
spells system unadulterated, and they got
thoroughly tired of it and instituted the
civil service reform system. They may get
tired of that, but there Is very little evi-
dence that they are so now. The Republi-
can party in its last national convention
didn't appear to be tired of IL either.
