A Business Administration

New YORK, January 21.-Mr. Cleveland
has announced the following as his policy
in making appointments:
THE next administration will Be bust
ness mems administration. By that I mean
that business men are to have the preference
IN the appointments.
''Of course the business men will be dem
ocrats. But in making appointments. l
shall consider the business records of the
applicants. That will have greater weight
with me than the Endorsement of political
organizations. l shall appoint successful
business men as heads of the departments,
and l shall expect this policy to be carried
out in all departments of the government
''Thls is the time when business men are
needed. The questions before the people
are questions that can best be solved By
business men,"

The Seven Cast Outs.

TOPEKA, January 26.-The elections COM
mittee of the republican house made a re-
port on seven contests brought by the popu-
lists, finding in each one that there were
no grounds for the contest and that the 70
publican was ectitled to his seat.
In the postmaster cases the report Quo.eS
the supreme court which said in 1881:
''The question is presented whether per-
son. ineligible under the provisions of our
constitution at the time of his election for
the Office of sheriff, IS ineligible to hold the
Office provided the disability be removed prior
to his assuming the duties of said office.
Upon this question the weight of authority
seems to be, and in our opinion is the better
doctrine. that where the disability concerns
the holding of the Office and is not merely a
disqualification to be elected to ~ Office, a
person who is ineligible at the time of the
election will be entitled to enter upon and
hold the Office, if his disability he removed
or cured before entering upon the discharge
of the duties of the Office for which he Is
elected"
In the other cases the report says the COM
mittee can find no ground for confess;
and, besides, no contests have been legally
brought.

A Great Mans Burial.


Mr.. Blame could not have a private funer.
his own understood wishes and with the OK
pressed desires of his family in this regard,
but the surging wave of public interest swept
over the barriers imposed and made his pri
vate funeral ono of the most impressive of
public demonstrations in honor of the dead.
The most eminent men of the nation stood
around his bier. All business IN the nations
capital was suspended during the period
when the funeral services were IN progress.
The presence of the president and cabinet
and supreme judges and high officials of con-
gress and diplomatic corps was not moro
significant than the homag, Of waiting
crowds, who, in respectful silence, lined the
streets through which the funeral cortege
passed. The parlor on the second floor,
where the body lay in its cedar casket, closely
sealed, was fairly uncovered with floral
tributes.
The ca.ket itself rested on huge bed of
roses, violets, palm leaves and ferns, sent by
Mrs. Emmons Blaine, about nine feet long
by four wide, the flowers artistically giving
the combination of colors and designs of an
oriental rug. There was q large ship of
state sent by the Knights of Reciprocity.
Upon the coffin was a wreath of orchids and
roses from President Harrison, wreath of
white roses and ciolets from Mrs. Zach
Chandler, a simple wreath of vlolets tied
with ribbons from James G. Blaine, Jr.
Among others who sent flowers were: Mrs.
Emmons Blame, Mrs. Whitelaw Reid and
General Aleer.
A concourse OF several thousand people
occupied Lafayette square, facing the Blame
residence, and the doors and windows
of the houses adjoining we're thronged
with spectators and tho double line of car
riages, $50 or more in number, extended in
double line far along Pennsylvania avenue,
in front of the treasury and the war, state
and navy department building.

airy q, 1893.
It ia my painful duty to announce to the
people of the United States the death of

Winter Wheat Prospects.


CHICAGO. January 2s.-The Farmers Re-
siew reports winter wheat IN good condition
generally in the states of Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan. Iowa and Wisconsin. The best
reports come from Kansas. The whole state
has been under a good blanket of snow
nearly all winter and this presages q good
crop, even in those localities where it ap-
pears uncertain. Cattle are in good cond-
ton with little or no movement. In Ne
braska half of the counties report condition
good, nearly half fair and two report poor.
The fields were generally covered with snow
during the cold weather.
In Kentucky tie wheat crop ia not up to
the condition reported in the other states.
The correspondents do not generally report
1t much above IS per cent. of the average.
In Missouri also wheat is not in q desirable
condition. In some portions wheat is 70
ported injured by the hard freezing and the
lack of snow. In other counties the snow
came after the ground was frozen, but did
not cover it to a sufficient depth to prevent
further injury. In other sections the drouth
last fall did damage from which it has not
recovered.
Cattle in all the states are reported to be
in good condition, and few are being mar
keted.

War Clouds Get Thicker,

LONDON, January 26.-The latest dispatches
from Cairo state that the hostility of the
khedive OF Egypt toward the English shows
no sign of asating. In answering Lord
Cromer the khedive replied tina. he only
yielded to force.
The khedive has been strengthened in his
attitude of antagonism toward the English
by Populations from the provinces headed
by local officials hostile to British control.
These have addressed him in flattering Ian
guaSe congratulatiug him ON his opposition
to the English.
Lord Cromer called on the khedlve to IN
form him that the British cabinet had Or
dered an increase of the British garrison.
The course taken by England is looked
upon in France as proving the determine
ton of Great Britain to persist in the occu-
patton of Egypt. The Paris newspapers
unanimously call upon the government to
indicate the rights of France.

Just before adjournment in the afternoon
Speaker Dunsmofs delivered 70 Speaker
Douglass long letter, it being an official
notice for the officers of the republican houss
to step down and out
Just before the adjournment of the two
houses Monday afternoon Speaker Doug.
lass received from. Speaker Dunsmore, OF
the populiss house, an official notice that the
republican house organization must disbsnd.
1t covered three typewriter pages, setting
forth from populist standpoint the facts
regarding the organization of the rival
houses, and maintaining that the popnlist
organization was the only legal house. 1t
said the populist house had been duly recog-
nlzed by the governor and senate and was
therefore the only body that could transact
business: that the republicans were usurpen
and Instructors.
The letter went on to say that the republi-
can members, in holding out as they have
done for the past three weeks, were en-
dorsed and sustained by the railroads aud
otner corporations; the people of the state
wore demanding that the foolishness be
stopped and that the regular business of tae
legislature be taken up at once. Tho notice
says that in Order that business may 90
oiC0Js luc SpSdkcE anu OtHer OlScfS OF the
republican house must without delay ster
down and out.
The republican house met again at 8
O'Clock, when Speaker Douglass made 70
marks, excusing his delay in appointing
standing committees. Under present condi-
tons the house can enact only such business
as pertains to the house itself, and commit
tees necessary for that work have been ap-
pointed; the others being held back until
needed.
"a minority OF fifty-eight mem bers-elect
refuses to participate in the proceedings
OF tho regular organization and the senate
and the governor also refuses to do business
with 1t. So long as this condition continues
there Is an end to all hope of legislation,
for the majority body cannot legislate with.
out the concurrence of the senate and the
governor; and tho minority body cannot
le4islate with such concurrence. An at
tempt to do so is as certain to fail as it il
certain that the laws and the constitution
are to prevail in Kansas.
The people are demanding some whole
some legislation; but for existing condition..
the house is in No wise responsible. Our
duty to preserve the principles of FREQ gov.
eminent and hand them down inviolate tc
our Children Is paramount to all other con-
siderations. When these principles ar
fully recognized, and no: until then, can the
work of legislation proceed. In the inter.
val We have but to stand fast for the truth
and the right, assured of the approval OF
our own consclences and IT the public,

TOPEKA, January 2S.-The elections com.
mittee presented report to the populist
house that the seryenat- alarms of that house
had servei subpoena on Willis L Smith,
David Bright and Frank Leard, of Kiowa
county, who are wanted as witnesses in the

subpoena. The committee asked that the
speaker of the house be directed to issue a
warrant for the arrest of the three men. and

basis for a habeas corpus proceeding by

preme court. The three men are ordered to
be brought before the house to answer for
contempt
