selecting them. So far they have generally
been neither specially good nor particularly
bad and. perhaps. as an Illinois Democrat re.
marked. there is enough In this latter fact to
compensate for the delay. Taking tho ap-
pointess, by and large" as the boy did his
chickens. they are only about an average lot.
by no means as good as they might have been.
yet better than they would have been. SAYS
the President. had he listened to the advice
same time. there are certain OF the appointees
who cannot stand severe scrutiny as to ante
cedents- The President has paid high In ad-
vance for the return he expects to get In some
instances. Some think no Is not manifestlng
his usual astuteness in paying in advance.
What he wants he must have: and they who
can furnish It will not take promises nothing
short Of payment on the spot OF course. Mr..
Cleveland Is prepared for spot transactions to
alimited extent.
This at once suggests the subject OF the nm.
derstanding under which Speaker Crisp left
washington recently to return to be made
Speaker again at the extra session In Septem-
Der. and then to frame certain committees In
. manner that will help put through the Ad-
ministration policy In a number OF respects.

johnson sought to advance what he was went

The selection Of Mr.. James II. Eckles OF
Illinois to DO Comptroller OF the Currency
crentes no little comment. 1t was Mr.. Cleve-
Governor in Albany. Although Mr.. Eckles
knows absolutely nothing about banking. is n
novice in financial matters. WAS not an appli-
cant for the office. and does not think he Is the
right man for 1t. still! Mr.. Cleveland wanted to
servo him In some valuable way. and so he
made him Comptroller Of the Currency. 1t Is
said Mr.. Eckles asked for a certain District
Attorneyship in Illinois: hut senator Palmer
had a man for that place. Mr. Cleveland. who
had Tor some time been looking around for q
Comptroller OF tho Currency without being
able to decide between n number OF appli-
cants. none OF whom Just suited him. pitched
upon Eckles. whom he knew to be . good
fellow. Mr. Eckles himself was tho most sur
prised man when he heard MS name was read
ont In the Senate. II he takes the of1ce. he
will have everything relating to 1t to learn. IT
1t were a matter between tho President anda
be 80 bad. but there are many great interests
In tho case which seem to have been lott quite
out OF view. Tho new Comptroller thinks
he must learn what his duties are. he can do
1t. only give him time. He Is a citizen OF OF
tawa IN the etato OF Illinois mo facts soon
all strangely in contrast with MIR. Cleveland's
avowed intention to appoint only the best men.
and none other than those who are known to
De iuiy up 70 the duties ofthetr Offices.
