pants, as big boy should do, give us q
civil service ordinance for our city.
We have both gas and electric light for
our streets (extravaganD. We have
horses for our hose carriages. We will
have fire-escapes, and perhaps escapes
from fires, and Notwithstanding the fact
that our police force are allowed to
ride, free of cost, over the electric rail-
way at will, there is demand for a
patrol wagon, etc. Now give us civil
service. Let board of experts be or
ganized with power to examine and
give certificates to candidates for a
place on the board of health. The
rules should require that the candidates
be far-sighted and of good scents. Then
our City Council can select board that

THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH %, 1893.

Mr.. HARRISON, during his admins
tration. went into Congress and took
from both branches thereof men whom
he sent out of the country on govern
ment business. That he had no right
to do so, as stated at the time by the
GAZETTE, was patent, for the reasons
that members of Congress are chosen
for no such purpose, that the duties for
which they are chosen, if properly dis
charged, will consume all their work
hours, and that if the executive branch
of the government can send three or
four members of the legislative branch
abroad, it can send dozen, or as many
as may be required to destroy MAORI
ty against it in that branch. AT the
time referred to Senator Hoar of Mas
sachusetts had never word to say
against Mr. Harrison's Infringement Of
the Constitution-for the executive and
legislative branches of the government,
though coordinate, are separate aud
distinct-but now that Mr.. Harrison has
gone into enforced retirement, he recog-
nizes the danger of the precedent al
luded to, but to which, until yesterday,
he was, apparently at least, entirely OBJ
livious.

DURANGO, Mex, Mar. 23.-Workmen
were on Tuesday engaged in excava-
ting for new building when they came
upon an earthen box, about five feet
under the surface. Upon being opened
the box was found to be filed with old
Spanish gold coins. The amount will
reach fully one hundred thousand dol
lars. 1t is supposed that the money
was buried by a Spaniard more than
century ago.

Mr.. RATHBoNE, the retiring republi-
can Attn Assistant Postmaster General,
upon leaving the Postoflice Department
yesterday and turning his office over to
his democratic successor, Mr.. Maxwell,
said to him:
eff you proceed at once to the remov-
al of republican postmasters and put
democrats in their places you will make
yourself popular with every member of
your party Adlai Stevenson won the
Presidency because of his popular
ity in making his office thoroughly dem
ocratic. But if, on the other hand, you
proceed slowly, you will displease the
Senators and Representatives of your
own party and call down on your head
the maledictions of the entire party. l
think it is in your power to make your
self the most popular officer of the adj
ministration or the most unpopular, &C
cording to the disposition you show to
put Your party in possession of what 1t
is honestly entitled to-
Mr.. Rathbone is q wise man in his
day and generation, but Mr.. Maxwell
will be wiser one if he shall follow
his advice He has commenced well
for to-day he put forty democrats in the
places of that many republicans.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 13. 1898.


Ny Dear Sir: Having understood
that you propose TO place my name III
nomination before the democratic eau
Gus of the Senate for the Office Of
Secretary of the Senate, | beg to say
that Il partial canvas of the preferences
of the Senators has disclosed the fact
that | cannot expect to receive n ma
jority of the votes of the caucus. If /
were to consult only my own feelings, 1
would prefer to let the matter go to i
vote and, it should then appear that
n majority of the caucus were disposed
to reverse the action of the last two eau
c lses of the democratic Senators, to ac-
cept the adverse verdict with all that
it may imply. But | feel that much is
due to my friends, and that when there
is no prospect of my success | ought
not to further task the generous and
disinterested kindness for which / am
already so deeply indebted. 1t is,
therefore, my wish that my name shall
not be presented to the caucus or be
considered in any way. 1t only re-
mains to add that for the friends who
have supported me up to this time |
cherish gratitude that no words. of
mine eau adequately express.
Very cordially yours.
L. @. WASHINGTON.

WHETHER THE ruling of Judge Kicks
be sustained or not, there certainly
ought to be some mode or means de-
vised by which public travel and bust
ness may not be interrupted by railroad
strikes. The public has nothing to do
with the differences between the rail
roads and their employees, but it has a
great deal to do with passenger and
freight transportation, and the public
is mostly poor and can therefore i'll
afford 10 have that transportation OBJ
structed. Nobody denies the right of
men to work or not work, just as they
please, but no right minded man thinks
that men who prefer idleness to work
should be allowed to prevent more
industrious ones from working, and
thereby blockading the public high
