itself out of socket they give him
twelve months vacation during the
term and only require five hours of
actual work in the House during the
sessions. But some Of the men who
represented that they would be glad
to have the place at $4,000 year,
now say that they must have a
clerk to hold them up to scratch.
It never occurs to these weary
laborers that a part of the salary
they draw during the twelve months
they do not work should be applied
to clerk hire. The view they take
is much more simple. It is that
their position is one of dignity and
parade, and that if any real work is
to be done, another man must be
paid to do it. T. E. W.

ments of railway corporations. The
best friend Of Judge Gresham must
admit that by accepting the appoint
ment he has voluntarily retired from
his position as champion of the peo-
pie. His enemies can claim that he
has traded upon his exceptional pop
ularity with the masses, and that the
high Office he holds is the price of
newly-formed convictions which con-
cur with those of his chief.
However viewed, the placing of
Mr.. Gresham in this particular folio
he takes in the Cabinet, is pleasing
to the railroads, and in connection
with the leading railroad lawyer OF

portance as was that of Hayes or
Holt after retirement.

GREsHAM's QUANDARY.

Mr.. Cleveland's first cabinet was
closely identified with him in his
financial theories. His second has
evidently been selected with view
to the single gold standard, if we
except Mr.. Gresham, who said last
July that he favored the silver plank
of the Ocala platform, and whose ap-
pointment as Secretary of State seems
to have been designed to close up a
gap in the Judiciary where the rail
road interests doubted their own
power to control. By kicking Judge
Gresham upstairs, he was placed in
position where his influence will be
completely annulled in domestic af-
fairs, whether as to disputed land
titles, or the currency question, or
the reform Of the tariff, or the forma-
ton of trusts, or the encroach-

THE BIGGEST PENSION.

Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, seems to
have fallen into the incest thing out.
He is to get salary from the Cleve-
land administration, considerably
larger than that of Cabinet officer.
He is to have his expenses paid, be-
sides. He is himself to do whatever
be thinks best for the administration
and to advise others what to do.
He is to keep his mouth shut on
what he knows when asked for news
by reporter, and generally to re-
port to nobody, and to care for no.
body. This is just the job for an
average red-nose, but if the Consti-
tuition is to be believed, Mr.. Blount,
the most influential and experienced
member of the Georgia delegation,
will close his career by accepting it.
To become a virtual pensioner, even
at $4,000 year, is no compliment
to Mr.. Blount, or to the State he has
so long represented.

THAT SALARY GRAB.

A Congressman is elected in No
vember. His pay begins on the
fourth of March following. Hi
aoork does not begin till DecembeT
following. In his term of two years
he serves the long term, which is
about nine months, and the short
term, which is always three months
This constitutes twelve months work
for which the Congressman gets
$4,000, besides mileage and $3.50
for stationery.
So, therefore, when Messrs. Liv-
ingston, Moses and Lawson voted
themselves a clerk at 800 per month
during the sessions they add $1,000
to the magnificent salary of $4,000
for twelve months work.
Now, when it is borne in mind
that, with very little variatio1s Con-
gress convenes at noon each day and
dismisses at five in the afternI oon, the
patient taxpayer can appreciate the
value which these salary 2yrabbers
have put upon their servicesi
Under the Clerk Resolution passed
at this session, each meqnber can
agree to pay his vile, or bis son, or
an outsider, 800 to do the work
which the Congressman lis paid to
do, and thereupon the pc rson named
by the member draws thfe 800.
In other words, the people elect a
gentleman to discharge certain duties
for term of two years. To keep

EDITORS BARRED.

Mr.. Cleveland has decided that
while he will reward a few friends in
the profession who have been super
serviceable, as a rule no editors need
apply. He evidently thinks the boys

of the old regime of fox hunte rs

are not among the number of friends

REFORM IN THE WEST.

Hon. Paul Van Der Wort, of
Nebraska, gave his views to a re-
porter of the Washington Post
few days ago. He talks confidentally
of the future:
See what the Populists have done,
even with the poorest sort of an organi-
zation and with only So, 800 in the hands
of its national committee. Though
counted out of many ballots, especially
in the South, we are admitted to have
cast 900, 900 votes. We split the solid
South till they had to rely on the negro
vote in several States of that section to
save them to the Democracy. In the
South we polled 456,0 votes, and to-
day we have white mans party in the
cotton States that sooner or later will
be in the ascendant.
In the West we beat every United
States Senator that voted against free
silver, including Paddock, who went
against us at the end. The Populists
held the balance of power IN the legisla-
lures of Montana. Wyoming and Wash
ington, and they kept those States from
sending Republican Senators. Next
time every one of them will send a
Populist Senator Having annihilated
the Republican party we will proceed to
turn our gums on the Democrats, and
mean to sweep them out of political ex.
istence. Can we do it? 1t is fateds
Already the elements of disintergration
are at work within that party. How
will the Cleveland administration differ
from the one that has just died? Not
one iota of difference will there be.
predict right now that the Democrats
won't even revise the tariff. Cleveland
himself, the representative of Wall
street, has the same financial policy that
Harrison had. In no essentials win the
administrations differ. But big ele-
ment of the Democratic party favors
free silver coinage and many other
things advocated by the pOpulists. This
element, made up Of Southern and
Western men, will not tamely submit to
Cleveland's dictation on the money ques
ton, and then look out for the storm. 1t
will be a whirlwind and will wreck the
Democratic party.

SOME VIGOROUS KICKING.

It seems that Hon. Buck Kilgore,
Of Texas, is kicking most vigorously
because he does not 60 to Mexico as
Minister. He attributes his failure
to Senator Mills, and has knife up
his sleeve for that worthy. Mills
and Kilgore voted in their respective
chambers for the repeal of the silver
purchase law, and it was supposed
they were at least cooperative in
thus antagonizing the silver senti-
ment of their State, and in opposing
all their colleagues. Ex-Governor
Isaac P. Gray got the plum, and it is
Mr.. Cleveland's luck to create a
rumpus and produce kick in the
very quarter he evidently intended
to harmonic. Gil Shanklin, editor
Of the Evansville Courier, the prin-
cipal Democratic paper in Indiana,
has given his views to the press. He
is reported as follows:
In Directing to the nomination of Mr..
Gray for high diplomatic post, or his
distinguished consideration in any way
at the hands of the present administra-
ton, voice the sentiment of nine-tenths
of the Democrats of Indiana. The fact
that he has been named as minister
plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary
to the republic of Mexico is to Us sur
prise and humiliation. It is a surprise
because after he had been shelved as
Cabinet possibility we supposed that he
had been given enough Of the shifting
sands Of ofice-seeking and would retire
upon his absence Of laurels.
Tt is humiliation because he does not
represent in any sense the Democrats Of
a State which cast its electoral vote
against one of its own sons in favor of
Mr.. Cleveland, of New York. He was
not Cleveland man is not now, and
will never be. I am and the people for
whom I am speaking have been, constant
supporters Of the man who will be our
Executive for the next four years.
Mr.. Gray was at one time bitter Re-
publican In 1869 he locked the doors of
the Indiana senate to confine the Demo-
cratic members, thereby securing quo
rum for the passage of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments.
Mr.. Shanklin goes on to tell an
amusing incident Illustrative of the
new minister's political sagacity. He
had visited the Governor to secure
his support for Cleveland, and ten
der his aid in getting Gray the sec
ond place on the ticket. He says:
He fatty refused, saying that he did
not want the Vice Presidency, and that
the only man who stood or could stand
between him and the nomination for the
highest Office within the gift of the ma
ton was David Bennett Hill, of New
York. I laughed. telling him that Indi-
ana would be glad to see him the Vice
President, just as | would be glad to see
him, but that 80 per cent of it's Democ-
racy were in favor of Mr. Cleveland
against anybody.
He said that Grover Cleveland's name
would not be mentioned in the conven-
ton save in a casual manner. I said it
would that not only would its wearer
be mentioned, but that he would be
nominated and elected
Gil Shanklin, he declared, you think
that you are politician; I am a politi-
clan. That is my business, and / am
willing to put my judgment against
yours

Since Mr.. Cleveland has given out

case except him individually from
the rule, he is theoretically q one.
termer, the colony of Georgians
at Washington shows signs of de-
crease. The boys who filed ofiial
chairs six or eight years ago now
despair Of again doing so. They re-
turn home poorer by the expenses of
their jaunt, and wiser by contact
with the politically inevitable. Per
haps they will hereafter use their in
fuence to promote the career of a
man who presoribes for others the
course he chooses for himself.
But in view of the fact that Mr..
Cleveland was SO signally defeated
four years ago, when he had the
prestige of the Administration and a
full retinue Of Federal place-holders
to aid him, he may now be convinced
that he could lose nothing in chang
ing the personnel Of his then official
supporters.

A DEMOCRAT FOOLED.

Sorry Because 1T Was Not.


Constitution Special.
IRw1NroN, GA, March 12.- Durin g
the Black Watson campaign, Col.
Boykin Wright, of Augusta, would
occasionally send an express package
to Col. J. w. Lindsey, chairman of
the Black club here. A wrapper of
one of these packages was picked
up by merchant Of our town few
days ago and taken into his store to
be used for wrapping up goods. On
yesterday one of the clerks in this
store sold a cheap suit of clothes to
a darby and wrapped it up in this
paper. In wrapping it up the old
address, "Col. J. w. Lindsey, Irwin
ton, Ca, From Boykin Wright,
Chair. Augusta League" could be
plainly seen on the package. The
darky left the bundle on the counter
and stepped out of the store for
few moments. While he was gone
some one seeing the package called
to Colonel Lindsey that "Boykin
Wright had sent him another ex-
press PACKAGE" The Colonel imme-
diately came over and took the bun
die to his home. Soon after the
darby to whom the bundle belonged
returned, and not finding it, began to
make some inquiries, and was told to
60 to Lindsey's house and ask him
for his clothes. When the negro
reached the Colonel's house the
Colonel was trying on his new suit.
and his wife was standing near by
admiring it. The darby stopped a
few moments at the door and heard
the Colonel say to his wife:
''Darling, this is mighty shoddy1
looking suit Wright has sent me, and
it doesn't fit.''
DWELL, honey" said Mrs. Lindsey
''you know this is an economical adj
minisrration, and they have sent you
a cheap suit so that you might start
out with them on an econimical plan
I guess all the Augusta folks arr
wearing these sort of goods now"
About this time the darby calles
for his clothes, and the Colonel VIA
SO mad that for a long time he 70
fused to take them off. But his wib
fnallo prevailed upon him to glp
them up, and the negro went on hs
way rejoicing.

STIRRING UP THE ANIMALS.

The Atlanta Constitution is in
mischief. 1t has discovered that
there are tens of thousands of offices
which it is in the power of the ad-
ministration to fill, and that
fair apportionment by population
would furnish over 1900 berths for
Georgians, of which at least 2,400
are at present numbered with aliens
and strangers. There is no dispute
as to the CONSTRUCTORS facts, and
where that paper advises the boys to
charge upon the administration till
every necessary decapitation is eff
fected and a Georgian safely placed,
it must strike responsive chord in
the hearts of the gang who bulldozed
at the polls and dispensed the whis-
ky, to which the party's success in
Georgia was SO largely due. The
Democracy of no State did its duty
more nobly than did that of Georgia
and if there are 1900 fat positions to
be filled, no State has a hungrier
horde willing to feed at the public
crib. This means an average of
nearly twenty places in each county,
and Doodle galore for the red-nose
hangers-on at the county courthouses.
By all means let the boys demand
their rights, and hold their Senators
and Representatives responsible for
failure. Mr.. Michael FL. Smith should
not be allowed to enjoy vicarious
dignity which should be shared by
thousands of his fellow citizens. He
alone bosses enough offices to dis
tribute the entire quota to the State.
But in advising in this matter the
Constitution seems to have forgotten
material equity. The colored peo-
pie of Georgia are to the white in
the proportion Of four to five. The
proportion Of colored Democrats
voting for Cleveland and his cleo
tors,--was quite as great as that Of
whites. Therefore any distribution
Of offices emitting this class would
be manifestly unfair, and undemo-
cratic. Though the negroes have
not SO large a proportion of red
noses, they voted early and often and
helped the dear old party in its need.
Hence in making an equitable distri-
button of places certainly not less
than twelve hundred should be as
signed to the negro contingent. And
this division should include a fair
share of first class places.
It is to be hoped, in the spirit Of
fairness, and IN acknowledgement OF
the great service done the dear old
party, that the colored contingent
will not be assigned merely few
mental places, where spittoons will be
cleansed and waste baskets emptied.
To be content with such treatment
would stamp the colored Democrat
as unworthy of his political associa-
ton, and no better than the environ
ment he accepts.
