The Tenure Of Office act was the first
formal recognition Of the spoils system
by Congress. That law was designed
not to protect good men in office, but
as means Of rotating them out of
Office. Thomas jefferson was startled
by the law, and denounced it in vigor-
Gus terms. With the Jeffersonian test :;
SIS he honest ? Is he capable ? Is he
faithful to the Constitution ~ the ro-
tary policy Of four-tenure could have
nothing in common.
OF course, the Tenure Of Office law
could not limit the constitutional power
Of the President. He could make re-
movals the same as before it was en-
acted. Itserved as the convenient pre-
text for a redistribution Of the spoils.
Subsequently the fragile barrier of a
four-year tenure was not permitted to
stand in the way Of the spollsmen, and
sweeping removals from once were
made at the beginning Of every Presi-
Dental term.
In the revival Of Civil Service Re-
form the efforts to repeal the Tenure
of Office act have encountered the
same influences which secured its
enactment. If the law should berepeal-
ed it would be necessary to frankly
and openly proclaim and practice the
spoils system, or to give the public
other than partisan reasons for re-
movas from Office. twill not do, then,
to claim that the enforcement of the
Tenure of Office act is promotive of
the cause Of Civil Service Reform.
The law is, in fact, the strongest prop
Of the spoils system.

At the present time there are built
and in course Of construction no less
than thirty-fve twin screw steamships
of over 5000 tons burden and it Is
probable that before the advent Of the
Twentieth Century the transatlantic
service will be furnished almost entire
ly by vessels of this type. Twin screw
steamers, may in time, be displaced by
giant vessels with triple screws. The
single propeller wheel no longer an
swers the demands Of ocean traffic
either for speed or safety.

The rulings and comments of the
Court in the Panama cases would have
caused riot in this country. The
presiding Judge constantly betrayed
his personal hostility or favoritism,
and openly warned witnesses against
giving testimony calculated to com
promise high Government officials.
Newspapers either here or in England
would have recalled the tyranny of
Jefereys and the Star Chamber and
raised fury of indignation which
would have compelled the impeach-
ment of the Judge.

In new form the old question of
States sovereignty viii be revived in
the debate upon admitting the three
persons appointed as United States
Senators by the Governors of Montana,
Wyoming and Washington. The Com
mites on Privileges and Elections are
so closely divided on the question of
admission that Senator Chandler, who
is opposed to admission, voted with its
advocates in order that the question
might be brought before the Senate.
Senator Hoar, who introduced the ma
iority report, maintains that the Con-
stitution of the United States does not
permit q State to refuse to be represent
ed, and that the design Of the Consti-
tuition has been carried out by the law
Of Congress. 1t is urged by the min
GRITTY of the committee that the failure
Of Legislature to elect Senator is
tantamount to refusal to choose a
Senator To this the majority reply
that theinabihty Of State Legislature
to agree upon one of several candidates
is very different thing from refusal
to elect a Senator.
The doctrine of the majority of the
committee is that the Federal Govern
ment is the power that creates the
United States Senate. The Federal
power enioins each State to send two
representatives to the Senate; and it is
this injunction, not the demand Of the
State, that must be obeyed. From this
it follows that is the duty of the Gov
ernor of ever State to fill vacancy in
the Senate, whenever and however it
may occur in order that the Senate
may always be full.
If, however, the Governor of State
should take the view of the minority
of the committee that he has no power
to fill a vacancy in the Senate after the
failure of the Legislature to elect, what
then There is surely no power in the
Federal Government to compel the
State to fill the vacancy in the Senate
But the object of this preceding is
to settle the question. and to establish
a precedent for all time. If the ma
jority Of the Senate should rule that
the Governor has no power to fill
vacancy by appointment under the
conditions that arose in Washington,
Wyoming and Montana, that would
be an end of the controversy. The
debate promises to be interesting.

The tide of immigration, which had
been checked by the quarantine restric-
lions, is rapidly resuming its accus-
toned flow. There were more than
$500 arrivals at Ellis Island, New York
harbor, yesterday. The wisest state
manship in this country is likely to be
put to severe test in an effort to solve
the immigration problem this year.

The demonstration of sympathy for
Harris, the wife-murderer, is merely
new testimony to the fact that thous-
ands of persons ordinarilylevel- headed
may be controlled at times by their
emotions in the consideration Of social
questions, regardless of rhyme or
reason-a trait of human nature which
is manifested also in political affairs
in this country in nearly every import
ant campaign.

The color of the war ships is still an
unsolved problem in the United States
Navy. White has been found to be
twice as expensive as black, and proba-
bly, there will be a return to the latter
color. Meanwhile, as an experiment,
" the hull of the Cushing has been
painted a bottle green in place of slate
color. The new shade is described as
being closely that which the sea as
sumes at night; and tits said that even
the bright searchlights will fail to dis
close her." Instead of making costly
experiments TO determine this matter,
the wiser course for the Navy Depart
ment to pursue would seem to be to
refer the question to a commission of
experts, whose judgment should be
conclusive.

An exchange truthfully says:

There is something dreadfully wrong
with our civilization, when a man can
toll hard on his farm for 313 days in
the year and make only few hundred
dollars, or the day laborer must 90 it
early and late to pay rent and keep the
wife and children clothed and fed, or
the minister, the teacher or the editor

Postmaster General Bissell has told
Kentucky Congressman that "stump-
ing for Harrison" did not constitute
offensive partisanship" in postmas-
ter, provided that he did not neglect
the duties of his Office. More special
ly, Mr. Bissell thus defined the often
sive partisan
(D. One who would turn his Office
into political headquarters ; O. one
who would manipulate the mails in the
interest Of his party;(3 one who would
collect and solicit funds for the use of
his party, and a. one who would use
the position to coerce patrons of the
office into voting as he wished.
There We're legions of offenders com
ing under these various headings, some
of them rendering themselves amena-
BILE on all accounts of the Indictment,
and with little or no attempt at con
cealment oftheir handiwork AS if, in
deed. they were counting upon their
'pernicious activity" as a recommen-
dation for preferment in case their par
ty should be triumphant at the polls.
.Postmasters of this sort were to be
found in various States and those
among them who have not yet sent in
their designations had better be quick
about it if they wish to spare them
selves the pangs Of decapitation.

7sc OLD SCHOOL EXHIBITIONS.

q the old school exhibitions! will they ever
come again,
with the good odIashioned speaking from the
girls and boys so plain:
VIII we ever hear old "Iser' with its rapid roll
and sweep,
And pilot. 'tis fearful night; there's danger
on the deep"
Sweet Mary doesn't raise her lambs like Mary
did OF old;
Their fleece is not 'as white as snow" they're
wandering from the fold
The bov upon 1.-The burning deck IS not one
half as fine
He was not born at Blngen, at Bingen on the
Rhine"
The girls don speak in calico, the boys in cot
ton jeans:
They've changed the old time dresses long with
the old-time scenes:
They smile and speak in ancient Creek; in
broadcloth and in lace;
And YOU can't half see the speaker for the col
lar round the face
O. the old school exhibition! it is gone forever
more!
The old schoolhouse is deserted, and the grass
has choked the door;
And the wind sweeps round the gables, with a
low and mournful whine
For the old boys born at Bingen-at Bingen
on the Ehihe.'

Some Masculine "Dont's" That Deserv'
Feminine Attention.

Some Masculine "Donts" That Deserve
Feminine Attention.
Don't be sorry you're woman. The
feeling does you no good, and it's not
generous to us.
Don't hate other women SO. Think
of the way you look at one another on
the street Don't keep all your polite
ness for US.
Don't keep smoothing the wrinkles
out of your waist. A few wrinkles will
keep you from looking hideously
smooth, like fashion plate.
Don't have your skirt badly fastened
at the back SO that your underskirt be.
comes visible. You can't see this, and
no woman seems to tell you.
Don't get off car with your back to
the horses. Men get a great deal OF
fun out of your persistency in doing
this. But you are not bound to amuse
them.
Don't stand at the door of a street car
and worry some man near at hand into
giving you seat when there are empty
seats at the head of the car. You all
do this.
Don't leave your handkerchief and
pocketbook in your lap when yon are
riding in a street car. Some man VIII
pick them up for you as you are passing
out, but they will get muddy.
Don't try to have long waist. FoH
three thousand years the artists-tht
professors and conservators OF beauty
have been saying that short Wals'
is the more beautiful At least pleas
take the hint.
Don't wait until you get in front OF

your pocketbook. The wives OF Tn
eight men who are patiently waiting
the opportunity to buy tickets are WOE
dsring why they are SO late at hom e.

Fighting Fllckers.

On Pennsylvania farm pair OF
iickers had a nest In a hole in the
trunk of a dead elm tree. A large
hawk had the habit of alighting on
stub of the tree to eat its prey, and,
once it did so, the fickers came piping
out of their domicile, darted viciously
at the hawk and drove it from its
perch. The hawk soon forgot the de-
feat, for next day itsettled there again,
and once more the fiickers gave battle
and made it take to fight. But the hawk
was persistent, and would return In
spite of repeated thrashings. So one
day the farmer hid in some bushes and
shot it with a rifle. The big bird
lodged in crotch, forty feet from the
ground, and the hickers darted at II
from side to side, and kept constantly
suualling, until the farmer sent ms
hired man to throw it down, The
hawk was alive, but both of its eyes
had been put out by the angry Hlcker'

Co-operatiye Farming.

1t is said that while the system of
cooperative farming by village COM
munes, or ''mirs," is rapidly being
abandoned in Russia as obsolete and
not in keeping with western progress,
it is being adopted in Italy, and that
with great success Some six years
ago an association was started by thirty
peasants in the province of Creona for
the purpose of cultivating a farm Of
about three hundred acres and has
reaped excellent financial results.
Their example has been widely copied,
and to-day the larger number of the
farms in the province of Milan are
held by peasant associations of this
kind, one farm alone of one hundred
acres being held by thirty-two peasant
families, who were able to pay their
last years rent out of the produce OF
silk cocoons alone, their agricultural
produce being all SO much profit. This
method of association has the advan-
tage that it admits of the acquisition
of perfected agricultural implements,
seed, manures, etc, which would be
beyond the means of any single peas
ant tfamily-Chicago Tribune.

ever, We always get the trade from 80 to

in ali. Going towards San Diego IA or
15 miles is az far away as the trade
