WASHINGTON, April 15.-"Appoint-
ments to the public service aforesaid in
the departments at Washington shall
be apportioned among the several states
and territories and the District of Col
umbia upon the basis of population as
ascertained at the last preceding GEN.
Sus."
The paragraph given above is from
the Pendleton civil service reform act,
and is part of the laws of the United
States, but for all practical purposes it
might as well have never been made a
part of the bill so ardently advocated by
the late Senator PendletOn. That Min
nesota and all the far Western and
Southern states have been refused their
proper and just share of the depart
mental clerkships and other positions in
Washington is generally known, but the
people have no idea the extent to which
the injustice has been carried. Under
the laws as they are at present there
are very few positions to be had except
through the medium of civil service ex-
aminations, but there are so many justly
due Minnesota under those rules that
the attention of the people of the state
should be called to the matter.
No Crime to Seek Office.
In the first place, it is no Grim to be
a candidate for an office, and no honor.
able citizen should feel at all backward
about making an application. Under
| the Mugwump dispensatlon, only Mug
wumps can apply for Office without be-
| ing considered spoilSmen. but the Mug
wumps are neither making nor admin
| istering the laws at the present time.
and so their views as to office-seeking
| do not count. Instead of being back
ward about this matter, the people Of
! Minnesota should press forward and
! seek positions in the national capital,
not because of their lucrative character
! so much, as because of the experience
and training to be gained by residence
| in the most attractive capital i'll the
world. There are hundreds of young
men in the North Star state to whom
| few years. residence in Washington
would be great thing, and these men
should not hesitate to seek appoint
ments, and seek them not with humility
and on their knees. but rather demand
them as matter y f right.
Seek In the Proper way.
The point of the whole matter is
found in the advice to seek these places
! in the right way. Neither a represent
alive in The lower house OF congress nor a

Among traders the principal points OF
interest during the week were:
Renewal of large exports of gold.
FURRY in Chicago May wheat.
Ups and downs in speculative shares.
While May wheat declined from the
9Oc price, at which the bulls forced
shorts to settle OH Wednesday, and
closed yesterday at 7S1zc land for July
at 1890, the declines are not sufficient
to make it seem probable that the bull
clique has abandoned the wheat deal.
Expenses keep piling up in cash wheat:
the crop reports are none too good; Eu-
ropean demand ought to improve some
what. and there seems little reason why
any farmer who has, and can afford TO
hold few hundred bushels now, should
be in hurry 10 sell. The risk of selling
short in the pri mary markets outweigh
the risks of holding actual wheat, if the
grain Is properly handled so as to avoid
heating and other losses to which the
farmers are sometimes subjected. 1t
also seems that the Pillsbury differences
would not have been settled last week
If the shorts had seen a reasonable
chance settling at better advantage this
week.
Money markets closed strong. The
gold exports and some troubles in
European and Austral ian banking
circles stiffened the Eastern money
markets and checked the bull movement
of securities that marked the opening
in New York last week. Financial
affairs in this country are deemed TO bt
in much better shape than in the old
world. but the tendency is to keep spec.
ulation on as substantial basis as pos
sible. The New York bank statement
made better showing than was gener-
ally expected, the increase in reserve
being S1,S59 600. The banks here are
getting full rates on a good demand fol
loans, but the collections of most of the
wholesale houses have shown consider
able improvement during the week-t(

/ seen. Afterwards eleven yoke of cattle
were sent up by Booze. l bought them
| up and turned them over to Thompson.
| Afterwards | went to Sioux CITY, and
| Thomas Power came there with two
| yoke OF the same cattle, and went to
Council Bluffs with the same cattle.
Power was hauling goods for himself.
l know that Power and Pease. while
freighting for the government that sum-
mer between Forts Randall and Sully,
came along here frequently with their
cattle worn out and broken down, and,
Adams, assistant superintendent. would
Exchange with Them
and take their broken down cattle and
give them good cattle; and when Pow
er and PeaSe got through freighting thai
fall and had worked them down, they
sold the whole train to Adams for the
agency. This was done in my presence.
When Power and Pease turred over
and sold their whole train to Adams
as above stated the cattle were
worked down thin and poor and not
fit for beef, aud probably would not
have lived through the winter. They
were slaughtered for the Indians. Dur
ing the first transaction Supt. Thomp-
son was here. but when Power and
Pease turned the train over he was not.
At one time l had charge of train for
Booze, freighting from Sioux CITY to
Sully, and while passing the agency.
some of my cattle got footSOre and poor,
and knowing that Adams had eX-
changed with others, | went to him and
requested him to exchange with me, and
he said he would do so, and | went and
examined his herd, and not finding anY
that were better than mine, | did not
exchange.
Senator Power was examined later,
but cOntented himself with stating that
Clark Thompson was all right, and in
the trades made with Power and Pease
had always got the best of the deals for
the government. Congressman Hub
bard did not think so, evidently. for in
his report to congress he made the fol-
lowing Scathing sarraignment OF the
management at the Crow Creek Indian
agency;
Hubbard'S Conclusions.
THE records of the Indian DEPART
ment show that very large amount of
supplies was purchased for the Indians
at their agency during the year COM
mencing June, 1868, and ending June.
1864. During the year the government
paid for not less than 1,7So, 4SS pounds
of beef, gross weight; 433, 121 pounds of
flour. 1860 pounds of pork. and
3l9,676 pounds of shelled corn, all
purchased for the Indians of this agency.
though it is probable the number stay-
ing at the agency did not average dur
ing the year per week more than $500.
In addition to the above there was fur
nlshed to the Winnebagos, who had left
Crow Creek, 91,377 pounds OF beef and
9l.377 pounds of flour, yet the Indians
suffered for food. The prices paid for
these supplies were liberal and in most
instances high, though the quality was
certainly most Inferior

TRilors' Dummies.

Wax figures are slowly disappearing
as advertising agencies. The cheap
tailors use figures of wire with heads
of plaster and papier mache, and the
cheap dentists have taken in some of
their horrible heads with staring eyes
and teeth that were CRASHED by ma
chinery. The effect of summer sun on
few of the wax figures that are still
used in shop windows is CHASTITY.
There is one figure of woman whose
arm is dropping into half-circle, and
there is tailor's dummy whose fore
head is falling into his eyes, giving
him a very malign expression. In a
certain farce comedy loud laugh is
raised at an incident in tailor's shop.
A comedian undertakes to sing 'White
Wings" when one of the dummies that
has been standing stiffly against the
wall moves forward with clasped
hands, makes a gesture of agonized en-
treaty, and walks off like an autom.
atom. The singer stops.
