ROBERT BLAINE's REMOVAL.
Secretary Morton Explains Why the Actio
Was Taken by Him.

The removal Of Robert @. Blaine, Q brother
OF James G.. Blaine, from the Agricultural De-
partmens by Secretary Morton has caused
much talk and In some circles has been severely
criticised. Secretary Morton SAYS he made the
dismissal not on personal grounds, but because
he believed the position he held to be q .inecure
Mr.. Morton yesterday gave out q state
ment to the effect that when he took charge
OF the Department Of Agriculture he found
Mr. Blaine occupying q position with practi-
cally no duties to perform and drawing a
salary Of o.. 900 per annum. It was one Of the
most evident sinecures in the department, and
he could not consistently allow it to remain,
even though the incumbent happened to be the
brother Of the late James G.. Blaine. II he had
been the brother OF President Cleveland the
result would have been the same.
The fact lie. continued the Secretary, shat
the permits for the importation and quaran-
tine of animals. as well records and accounts
of the quarantine stations. have all been made
and kept BIZ the bureau of animal industry
and al that Mr.. Blaine did to visit the
stations. Of which there we're but three, a few
times in the course Of the year. Examination
o: tbs reports a. the time of these visits shows
that they were os little value to the department.
and only contained information which could
easily be obtained i-Om the quarantine super
intendent5.
An ln-ptchOn Ol uuarantlno statlOnB can
only be properly made by person having ex-
pert knowledge Of how such stations should be
arranged and conducted. No one claim
that Mr.. Blaine has any knowledge of the dis
eases for which animals are quarantined, or Of
the arrangements which are necessary to pre-
vent the introduction and spread Of these
diseases. The quarantine of imported animals
had been successfully conducted for six years
before the formation Of the quarantine divi-
sion. and there is no reason why it should not
be successfully conducted in the future,
since the only effect of establishing the divi-
sion to create the Office of chief, with Q
large salary attached TO il.
Considering these facts. the only position
which could be taken in the interest of economy
and good government WAS to abolish the divis-
ion. which consisted of one man. and assign the
clerical work connected with the stations to the
division Of field investigation and miscellaneous
work OF the bureau Of animal industry, where it
had really been done during Mr.. Blsines in
cumbency. The quarantine stations will be
maintained and conducted they have been
heretofore. under the direction of the chief of
the bureau of animal industry, without the
least detriment to the public service"

The senate Occupying Considerable Time
In Discussing the Roach Case.
The executive session Of the Senate yestsr-
day was OF more than average interest, both
through its length and the lively nature Of the
discussion which occurred. The Roach matter
was talked over in every phase almost in which
1t could be approached The difference be-
tween the two parties can be expressed briefly.
The republicans desire the committee on priv
Ieges and elections to be authorized to investi-
gate the question Of the Senate's power to 60
into the past record of Senator and IL they
find that they have such power to use it in
delving out some Of the alleged exploits Of
Senator Roach The democrats on the other
hand, hold that the committee should only be
given authority to investigate the powers Of the
Senate is this respect The executive session

Mr.. LAPHAM PERSUADED.

Congressman Lapham and Page have
been giving their opinions on several
questions which are just now upper
most In the public mind, among them
the proposed repeal of the 10 per cent.
tax on state bank circulation.
Both try to be non-committal, but
Mr.. Lapham, although he declares he
reserves his judgment on the matter,
says he is persuaded that the tax should
be abolished to increase circulation in
sections remote from money centers.
Holding this opinion, it is safe to
assume that when he is called upon to
vote Mr.. Lapham will be found in the
ranks of the repealers.
A few years ago it would have been
difficult to conceive that any represen-
tative of Rhode Island in congress
would hold such dangerous views on
the all-important currency question
but Democratic dominance has worked
many changes and has apparently
made of supposedly conservative and
sound Rhode Islander a fist-money
advocate.
Mr.. Lapham would no doubt resent
the imputation that he is a greenbacker,
but greenbacker Is no more the enemy
of honest money than is the man who
believes in flooding the country with
worthless wildcat bank bills. OF the two
the simon-pure greenbacker is the less
dangerous.
Mr.. Lapham is old enough to re-
member the financial commissions of
1861, and he certainly is aware that
the depreciation in value of state bank
notes was in no small degree responsible
for the disasters which made those
years among the most unfortunate in
the commercial history Of the country.
Further, If he has looked at all into the
history of that period of depression and
ruin he must have found that of the
1,422 state banks in existence in 1853,
75s were reported as broken, closed or
worthless, and to this aggregate Rhode
Island contributed 13.
In the light Of a record like this, is it
not surprising that a man of average
business intelligence, much less a men,
Der OF congress, would seriously say
he is persuaded" the country should
return to such ruinous policy?
And is il not reasonable TO ask by
whom has he been persuaded?
Certainly the people who lost $75, ,0o0,-
600 between 1850 and 1860 through
the wildcat state bank system took
no part in the work of persuading
Mr.. Lapham, nor is 1t conceivable that
any business man worthy OF the name
ever urged him on 10 such foolish and
dangerous conclusion.
| IN Is therefore more than probable
that Mr.. Lapham has been persuaded
only 10y the members Of his own party
who framed the Chicago platform and
who are now seeking TO redeem their
pledge, even at the cost OF financial
disaster and ruin.
