SECRETARY MORTON, makes a rather
sensational statement in his report
when he intimates that a portion of the
appropriation for state experimental
stations may have miscarried. Aninvesti-
CATION will of course follow, as it should.
The secretary refers to the matter in
support of his recommendation hat such
appropriations be placed in the depart
ment so that supervision of disburse-
ments may be exercised. On this point
the s~ecretary's conclusions seem to be
e~minently sound.

it will be abandoned and that the rural
been served in this way and ali that
were expecting TO be will have to be
cortent for some years to come with the
old conditions. That the abandonment
OF the policy of extending free de-
livery to rural communities will
DO extremely disappointing TO such
communities there can be no doubt.
1t was expected that the present adj
ministration would not approve of the
contracts made by its predecessor for
carving ocean mails, and the excuse
for doing this is that no apparent adj
vantage has resulted from them. The
country will be better able to judge OF
the merit OF this plea when it has seen
the results Of the policy regarding the
ocean mail service of the present adj
ministration, though it cannot interfere
with existing contracts. The postmaster
general makes some recommendations
and suggestions that merit careful con-
sidcration, among them that the
charges for domestic money orders
be reduced and the form of the
order simpliied, at the same time
abolishing postal notes. Regarding
civil service reform the postmaster
general makes ~unfavorable comment
upon the dismissal of democratic clerks
from the railway mail service at the be-
ginning of the preceding administration.
Perhaps Mr.. Bissell needs to be in
formed that in the last year of Mr..
Cleveland's first administration a large
number of experienced and competent
clerks were dismissed from that service
because they were republicans and their
places filed by democrats, to the almost
utter decentralization of the service, and
that the Harrison administration re-
stored the republican clerks, where
their removal was shown to have been
for political reasons, both Us q matter of
justice to them and for the good of the
| service.

Philadelphia Times; Dying by inches is
fast enough, but it's unfortunate when foot
ball players die by the foot, as IL were.
Cincinnati Commercial: If Corbeet and
Mitchell would challenge q foot ball player
there might be an opportunity TO see their
merits as pugilists. Foot ball players differ
from pugilists IN that they %ight-not talk.
Washington Post: Meanwhile, it would
seem the rankest infatuation to harbor the
theory that foot ball is q more gentlemanly
and a less domoralizing practice than prize
fighting. The record indicates the contrary.
Indianapolis Journal: Thus far the testi-
mony presented by the newspapers does not
warrant the conclusion that foot ball Is as
hazardous TO life and limb as an average
pitched battle, but much more so than the
average duel in high life.
Kansas City Star: Foot ball is the sole
amusement In the world that carries with it
the semblance and excitement of the great
game of war. The first inquiry after a match
is who won the victory The next Is
concerning the number of killed and
wounded.
Chicago Herald: But at least let us put a
stop as soon as possible to the brutality OF
foot ball-a sport which. in many features,
is worse than prize lighting, being less n
matter of skill, more dangerous to the par

that they should be permitted to proceed in
the work of killing and Gripping than that
the same concession should be made to the
muscular athletes who have q less dangerous
sport IN the twenty. four-foot ring.
New York Times: The game is bloody and
brutal, too, however s~toically the young
players may endure their wounds and frac-
lures, or the injuries or even the deaths of
their companions. 1t has engendered, more
ever, a sordld desire of gain by no means in
keeping with the pursuit of the liberal arts
and sciences.
Harper's Weekly: Once let it be under
stood, however, that a knowledge of foot
| ball is essential to success as a policeman
ana we shall have not only men whose
natural tastes and inclinations lead them to
become policemen t1ocking to our colleges in

OUR Washington dispatches quote
Comptroller Eckels as saying that he
will go to the bottom of the affairs of
the defunct Capital National bank and
intimates hat every a remotely re-
sponsible will have to step up and help
make good the loss. This is good news
for the taxpayers at large, but it will
cause many groans} in Lincoln. The
books of Mosher's defunct bank show it
to be indebted toithe state in the sum of
$500 900, while the state treasurer's
books fix the amiountlat $3.50, 900. If the
comptroller a bring the power of the
national government to play upon this
case and save a large share of this
money to the people he will accomplish
more than seems probable at this time.

Reversing the Mexican Custom.
Chfc10D Herald

Singular and altogether unprecedented
news comes from Mexico, If the accounts
are to be believed the revolutionists have
administered unto the hosts of President
Diaz a most thorough and soul-satisfying
thrashing. The federal troops-or such of
them as are left-are reported to be headed
Tor the hatlonad GaliLal AZ galI maj would
stack off in sheer envy and despair. This
entirely re verses the usual order of things
in Mexican revolutions. The custom hlth-
erto has been foe some greasy patriot to
dub himself general, collect fifty or a hun
dred men, raise the standard OF revolt and
get captured within torty-eight hours. Then
followed a drumhead court martial, q fusil-
lade, a shallow treneh and quicklime, and
That revolution was -sfuelched. The new
system is revolutionary indeed, not only as
affecting the government of Mexico, but as
destroying old traditions. 1t is so novel, in
fact, tina further particulars should be
awaited before giving full credence TO the
stories that come from the border.

A REPRESENTATIVE of the receivers
of the Union Pacific railway system has
asked the federal court to fix the salary
of each of the five receivers at $1S, 900,
or 500, 900 a year for all. These men
will be expected to do the work of ofh-
Gals whose salaries have aggregated
$4,000 a year heretofore. They are un-
skilled In the service and must grope
their way through the intricacies of
scientific ~railroading. BY no process of
reasoning can their service be worth as
much as that of trained railroad men. The
compensation asked for seems to be out
Of all reason and to nave no other ground
to rest upon than ~precedents in like
cases. There has for years been much
popular clamor against the princely sal
aries paid the higher railroad officials,
alleged to be at the expense of the pat
rons of the roads. If there be justifica-
ton for such contention there is GER
tainly some force to the claim that the
receivers in this case. or at least some of
them, are asking too much.

that if the Wilson tariff bill becomes

A Vital Objection.

One of the strongest objections to an in
come tax would be the cost of collection. A
very considerable portion of the money de-
rived from taxing incomes would be spent
upon the army of inquisitors necessary to
gather it in. An income tax, if laid upon all
incomes alike, is no doubt an exceedingly
fair tax theoretically. In practice, however,
it is unfair, because Of the opportunity to
escape payment afforded to dishonest men
whose actual income cannot be ascertained.
