THE court of arbitration to decide
the Boring Sea case commenced its
formal sttings at Paris yesterday. Ac-
cording to dispatches from there the
wives or daughters of all the American
members of the court and those of their
clerks and attendants were present TO
witness the opening ceremonies. What
the people of this country are most
concerned in about this matter, IS the
fact that all the women referred TO
were there at the governments eX'
pense. Why the wife of Mr.. Foster
and the daughter of Mr.. Halford, OF
the wife or daughter ofany other Amer,
lean member or attendant of the court,
any more than the wife or daughter OF
any other American citizen, should have
a trip to Paris at the governments ex'
pense, is what few people except ex
Secretary Foster can tell.

DURING Mr.. CLEvELAND's first ad-
ADMINISTRATION the oilice-seekers admitted
to his presence sat or stood around the
walls of his audience room until their
respective turns came, and then adj
yanced and had private talks with
him. Now, according to accounts from
Washington, there are so many OF them
that privacy has long since been dis
carded, and so close do they press upon
each other that what one says to him is
heard by at least dozen of the others,
The whole system of office seeking as
now conducted at the White House is a
grotesque and degrading farce, and
besides, as is proved by the appoint
ments, is utterly without effect, that is,
favorable effect.
