The one act of President Harrison
in giving to his private secretary the
appointment as paymaster in the army,
and then on to;' of that sending him off
on the Behring Sea trip, was enough
to forever condemn his administration.
There was no necessity for Halford's
being detailed as plvmas:cr of tha.
commission ut an expense of fifteen
dollars per day in addi ion to his rcgu-
lar salary, and the prcsidcn: that will
unnecessarily increase the burdens on
the people is not worthy of their re-
spect. Halford was not the only one,

others were appointed on the same
commission at big salaries and large

Congressional Seed.

We do not mean seed from which TO
raise Congressman. Iii there were
such Il thing and of an improved quail
ity, it might be well to plant and cul
tivate it. But we mean the seeds
bought by the people and then sent to
the purchasers hv the congressman.
We have time and again entered our
protest against this follish expenditure.
but each spring reminds us of its con-
tinuance. Many who receive these
seeds, and more who don't have little
i'ea what gigantic seed business
they. as the integral parts of the gov
ernment. are engaged in. 1t costs
annually about one hundread and
thirty thousand dollars, and employs
a large working force pas;inS seed
bags, labelling and filling them, and
then sending them ont as congress
ional favors. Suppose some neiSElor-
hood should make mp a pony purse
and buy a lot of seeds, good, bad and
Indifferent, then hire a lot of women
and children to do them up in pack
ages. and send them to such persons
in the neighborhood, and only such,
as one or two men may desire to give
them to. or to such only as may belong
to some particular church or political
party. Wouldn't there be kicking in
that neighborhood?
Well, that is exactly the Congress
ional seed business. The peoples
money, over a hundred Thousand dol
lars of it, pays for the seeds. pays for
putting them in packages, pays for
addressing them to Congressional fa-
vorites, members of the party in Lower.
while others who contribute jus. as
much Of the purchase money, do not
get so much as the empty bags. The
Congressman who get the credit of it,
have nothing to do with it other than
to furnish the names. Where are our
Congressional friends that are SO afraid
OF Government patcrnalism? Here is
/ the Government in the seed business,
cxpending more than hun lred thou
sand annually for.seeds for Oniy pGii
of the people; tl1o.gh the seeds are
paid for by all alike. If the Govern,
msnt can buy seeds from secdsmcn, and
silver from silver men, what is the
matter with it's buying wheat from
wheat growers, corn from corn raisers.
or cotton from cotton planters? And
if it can run post Office business and

To Change B1nk xalnlniaG system.

A Washington correspondent tele-
graphs that at soon as Mr.. Eckels.
Controller of the Currency, assumes
his duties, Secretary Carlisle intends to
reo-p anize the system OF examining
ma ional banks. The Secretary has ex-
pressed the belief that there are too
many banks for the examiners t. look
into. and it is said he has de-
cided TO reduce their number. Banks
are supposed to be examined an.
nua'ly, but under the Present
circumstances tits sometimes more than
year before an examination O. the
I ooks is made. 1t is probable the States
vii! be redistricted and the banks even
ly divided among the examiners. It is
thought that the Secretary will not ap.
point any examiners before June, and
then the appo'n;ees will he pra t!cal
bankers. He desires TO prevent such
d shonesty as shown in the affairs Of
the banks which rc emily failed in Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, and Nashville. and
for that purpose, after making the re-
district 'ng, will ask Congress to enact
a law giving the examiners more power
