The Comptrollership.

The comptrollership of the currency
is the most important Office in the
treasury department except that OF
secretary OF the treasury. The comp
troller exercises supervision over the
whole national banking system. Here
tofore the practice has been to appoint
only trained fnanciers and men of
ability to the comptrollership. Hugh
McCulloch, Hubbard, John Jay Knox,
Henry w. Cannon, Trenholm, Edward
s. Lacey and A. p. Hepburn have been
the comptrollers since the Office was
established. They were able men, with
thorough training in financial affairs.
James III. Eckels, the free trade poll
tician and member OF the HBuffalo
clique" whom Grover Cleveland APP
appointed, knows nothing about ma
tional finance, is absolutely unknown
to members OF the great financial in
st.tutions, and has never shown evil
dence OF marked capacity in any direc-
ton. He is an ignoramus In regard
to banking matters and admits that
he is an Ignoramus. Eekels il not fit
to be comptroller. His nomination
was an in~defensible piece of spoils-
mans politics. The senate should
have refused to confirm him.

BLOW AT VETERANS.
Secretary Hoke Smith Issues a New Pension
Rule

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 15.-There
is one act OF the administration that
has rot attracted much attention,
but which is evidently intended as a
direct blow at the Union veterans.
Secretary Hoke Smith, oil the interior
department, has announced "a e
principle in the appointment OF physi-
clans who are to constitute the board
of pension examiners throughout the
country. He has decided that nc ex-
aminer shall be appointed who is over
thirty five years OF age. The claim is
that the purpose of this is to secure
more efficient service and that no old
doctor need apply. 1t will be difficult
to make the American people believe
that experience is a disqualification
iAa family physician. Whatever may
be the rule in other professions, the
popular belief is that experience will
greatly add to n physicians efficiency.
But there is another point which Is
not 90 be overlooked. Any physician
in this country who is under thirty
FIVE years OF = could not have par
ticipated in what this administration
prefers to have called 'the war be-
tween the states" rather than "the re-
bellion." No surgeon who did not
participate in the rebellion can be ex-
pected to have as much sympathy for
the old veterans as would one of their
comrades. 1t has been decreed by
this administration that no old
soldiers who may happen to be ply
sicians are to be permitted to become
examining surgeons under the pension
bureau, and that every old soldier il
debarred by reason OF his military
service.
There is a law upon the statue books
that, in the making offederal appoint
ments, other things being equal, pre-
ferance shall be given to old soldiers.
If any one shall be disposed to test
the case it is possible that Secretary
Hoke Smith will be shown to have
gone too far i'm his efforts to prevent
old soldiers from receiving their pen
sions, and that he has violated that
statue which prescribes that the Union
veteran is to be considered, and that
service in the Union army is not to be
regarded by officers OF thegovernment
as a disqualification. That is practi-
cally what the secretary ofthe interior
has declared. 1t is the first time that
any Democratic cabinet officer has
ventured to proclaim publicly that
service in the Union army is to be re-
garded as a disqualification for any
position in the different bureaus.

CLEVELAND AND WHITNEY.
They Fall Out Because of Broken Pledges in
the Distribution of Spells.
New York Press

President Cleveland and William c.
Whitney, his former secretary OF the
navy and ~conlidant, are out. This in
formation direct from friends
of Whitney and Cleveland. Mr.. Whit
ney has 10 called on Mr.. Cleveland
since his inauguration, and he has
practically had no relations with him
for several months.
During the campaign last year it is
known that Mr.. Whitney acted as the
intermediary between Mr.. Cleveland
and the anti-Cleveland elements in the
Democratic party. 1t was largely
through him that n truce was arranged
which resulted in unifying the Demo,
cratic factions in this state for Mr.,
Cleveland.
In the course of his negotiotions Mr.,
Whitney, it is said, made numerous
promises and pledges in the name o.
Mr.. Cleveland. Not one of these
| pledges, it is stated, has been carried
out by the president.
The refusal OF Mr.. Cleveland to make
good the promises made in his name
is believed to be the cause of Mr.
Whitney's severIng his relations with
the administration. He has asked
nothing tor himself, but he did insist
upon the president living up to the
| pledges made during the dubious days
of the campaign.
A gentleman close to both Cleveland
and Whitney said to a Press repre-
sentative last night:
sit is useless to disguise the fact
| that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Whitney
are not on good terms. The troubl,
bet them began soon after thu
election last fall. MIR. Whitney was
heralded in the newspapers as a War
wick and the creator of Mr.. Cleveland
While this was literally true Mr.. Cleve
land did not encourage the paradin,
of the fact in public. Mr.. Cleveland
after a time became jealous OF the no
toriety OF Mr.. Whitney and he showed
it in many ways. The illusions L,
Mr.. Whitney as the Warwick OF tn
administration were especially dis
tasteful to Mr.. Cleveland. He believes
if he did not do something to asser
his Independence that Mr.. Whitne,
would receive all the glory OF the ad
ministration. He accordingly hottie,
Mr.. Whitney that he could not reco.
nize any of the pledges he had mad
for him. Mr.. Whitney. as "A man c
honor, could not submit to such treat
ment without a protest. He did tn
only thing he could do under the eli
cunlstances-refused to have anythiu
more to do with the man whom b
had made.

Colorado's Silver Queen.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Among the big
ore crushers and reducers going up in
the Worlds Fair mining building a
work of art was set in place this morn
ing. Hiram l.. johnson, a sculptor OF
Pueblo, COL, is the artist and he
named the work "'The Silver Queen"
The queen is enthroned in the midst
of a fine mineral display from Aspen,
Col. 1t represents the mining of the
state she halls from. 1t is ten feet
high and sits on an idealized throne.
The queen holds a silver sceptre in her
hand. The figure is worked in copper.
The face and arms and such OF the
bust as is exposed is silver plated.
The drapery hanging in classic folds is
incrusted with cube lead and various
colored crystals found in Colorado.
In all parts of the mining building the
work of installation is advancing
rapidly.

The jefferson Anniversary.

The 150th anniversary OF the birth
of Thomas Jefferson was seized upon
by Democratic clubs everywhere as a
pretext for attempting to make that
illustrious American responsible for
the British free trade, Bourbon Sec
tIonalism, Mugwump quackery and
municipal Tweedism that masquer-
AIDES under the domino of Democ-
racy. Jefferson dead has had for gen.
erations to bear loads that Jefferson
living would never have thought OF
assuming. Sixty three years ago
John c. Calhoun undertook to make
the author of the Declaration of indie
perdence responsible for the dogma OF
notification. 1t is the misfortune of
the illustrious departed that they
cannot resent posthumous libel.
Thomas Jefferson and galvanized Mug
wump Democracy have scarcely one
thing in common. Jefferson holly re-
pudiated even the name of Democrat.
He gloried in and insisted upon being
called a Republican.
The Chicago platform declares as a
fundamental doctrine that protection
is unconstitutional. Jefferson as
serted that the encouragement OF do
nestle industries was one of the first
duties d~evolving upon the federal gov
eminent. The Democratic party de-
nounces reciprocity as a sham. JEFF
ferson advised the adoption of retalia-
tory duties and prohibitions. When
Cleveland found a temporary surplus
IN the Treasury he clamored for free
trade to get rid of it. When threat
ened with a similar surplus, Jefferson
urged that it be used to build schools,
roads and canals, rather than expose
American Industries 20 the paralyzing
influences OF foreign competition. The
Democratic party demands the crea-
ton. of ~'swildcat" banks. Jefferson
was opposed to State currency. The
Cleveland administration averages
scores of removals from Office a day.
Jefferson did not make 100 removals
during the entire eight years he occu.
pied the presidency.
Jefferson refused to appoint rela,
tives to Office on the ground that II
vas a pefVerslOn L the solemn trust
confided to him. Cleveland, his .cabi
net and Democratic members of both
the present houses of congress have
used their positions to provide rela
tives, most of them without a particle
of previous training, with lucrative
berths at home or abroad. jefferson
upon his own responsibility and il
opposition to his own viewsa as to the
strict constitutionality of the act,
bought Louisiana for SIS, 900 600, at
that time a foreign territory with in
definite and disputed boundaries, and
peopled mainly by savages. Cleveland
hesitates on the annexation of Ha
wall, a great maritime stronghold
that is offered to us without condi
tions. In celebrating the birthday o
Thomas Jefferson the galvanized Mug
wump Democracy only the NOR
strongly illustrates the contrast be
tween the genuine craftsmanship o
Jefferson and the humbug and shan
of those who pretend to admire him

THE NEW ELDORkDO.
s. T.. tombstone Says the SLOGAN is a Good
Place for Poor Hen t. Avoid.

Spokane Special to Independent:
A good number of prospectors and
people looking for business locations
are already locking hack from the
SLOGAN country, having ascertained
that they were too early in the field.
Many express the belief that thecoun-
try has been viciously over-boomed
by townsite proprietors, spectators
and the railroads, and that the extent
of the mineral bodies does not war
rant such general excitement. S. Il.
tombstone, a mining man OF some
prominence in the early days at Lead
Vile. says he has not so much conf
dence IN the new camp as he had be-
fore his recent visit there. Mr.. John
stone has made "A special study of the
meteorological conditions indicating
permanence in galena veins, and he
declares that the several prospects in
the SLOGAN WHICH he examined do not
promise improvement as depth il
gained. Many will inevitably ''pinch
out" altogether a few feet below the
surface. OF curse this does not argut
that the camp will not be a good one
for it has been the experience of al
mining camps, with the notable excep
tion of the Aspen, Col, group and tn,
| Cpur d'Alenes, that the quality of tn,
ore deter;orates with depth; but tn,
frantic clamor of the British-AmericaI
boomers to the effect that SlocaI
mines are inexhaustable and enor
mously rich, is misleading and apt t.
prove disappointing to future visitors
Mr.. tombstone states that there j
little employment for labor in tina
section. living is expensive, there ar
hundreds OF men already there out O
work and out of money; and on tn
whole it is a good country for poo
men to stay away from.

A NOVEL SCHEME.
How a Texas Ranchman Proposes to Ex-
terminate Wolves.

SAN ANToNIA, April 16.-J.M Camp
bell, who is one OF the most extensive
sheep r~aisers in western Texas, has
lost % per cent OF his flock during the
past year by wolves. Campbell has
hit upon a novel plan for their ex-
termination. Hetrapped twelve wolves
a month ago and put them with adoe
that was badly affected with mango.
The wolves soon caught the disease
and are now thoroughly covered with
parasites which produce it. They will
be turned loose on the range in a few
days and Campbell expects the disease
to spread among the wolves so rapidly
that there will not be one of them lief,
in two years.

Krupp's Gift to Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 20.-At the conclu-

Krupp gun, the largest piece OF ord
nance in the world, will be presented
to Chicago by Herr Krupp and
mounted on a fort built in Lake Mich
igan, opposite Hyde park, permission
for the construction of which has been
secured at Washington.
The fort will be five acres in extent
and will be for business as well as
pleasure. Mounted on it, the great
gun will be able to protect the entire
city from attack by water, as it could
sink an iron clad with a single shot.
Work on the fort will becommenced
at once and pushed with the greatest
rapidity so as to be in working order
before the fair closes. 1t will cover
FIVE acres with the most approved de-
lenses.
