to show that certain kind OF Office ought

Wo are glad to say that these excuses Tor

are usually of no avail. They are contrary
to the Democratic principle. which Is that
every man is as good as every other man,
as q corollary OF which every man has as
good right to Office as every other man.
The Democrats privilege and opportunity
OF holding Office come with Democratic
Administration; tho Republicans with a
officeholder under a Democratic Admins
tration. or Democratic ofllceholdcr under
q Republican Administration, is In false
position both with reference to his own
party and to the Administration. One re-
suit Of such an ambiguous position and
doubtful service Is. in too many cases, that
the holdover becomes trimmer with no
political belief or aspiration beyond the
preservation OF his own bacon. Another
result Is that after while he begins to
imagine that ho is the Government. This
is what may be called offlceholders fatuous

siders himself Indispensable. For such a
man the only cure is decollation. swift and

has been done in the Treasury Department

add to that censure an expression OF regret
that the law prevents any indictment from

may be very natural under the circum-

sure the Constitution that its trust in THE SUN
will be justified. In January last. when Com
missioner WEBER favored us with u series OF
tables concerning the immigration at this port
in 1892. we were struck with surprise while
scanning them. Under the head of ALIEN
Storage Passengers Landed" we noticed the
figures 374.741. while under the head
Of Destination OF Immigrants" we no
tced that only 358 OF them were bound
for the State OF Georgia. and that
only 4.11G Of them were bound for ten OF the
other states Of the great South We thought
over these figures, trying to account for tho
remarkable fact that but little moro than ono
per cent. Of the vast multitude OF the years
immigrants had been attracted to tho Southern
States. which have room for millions, and sew.

We regret that tho Constitution has not been
able to assist us In the prosecution OF this in

subject are not such as will stand investign-
ton they are not regarded as OK planatory by
the officials who inspect the imm grants upon
their arrival In this port, 1t must be remem-
bered that i'm migrants have motives for choos-
ing those parts Of the United States in which
they settle.
We learn by inquiry at Ellis Island that the
proportion OF immigrants who have gone
South during the first half OF this year is not
greater than 1t was In the year 1902 Though
made aware Of the attractions Of Georgia.
they are as unwilling to go there as to any

LEAKAGE EASY.

Mr.. Bodep, when interrogated, gave the
details of the routine through which the
papers go, or at least what has been the
practice in the past. He did not believe
that there was any opportunity to examine
the invoice and entry after they were
lodged in the Custom-house. unless there
were collision with somebody in the en-
ploy of the Government. He had advised
his client. Mr.. Bergman. to report his
complaint to Collector Wise.
Then Mr.. Evans asked Mr.. Boden:
Suppose broker wished to know what
commissions a merchant paid to buyer
in Europe. and the commlSs appears on
the bottom of the Invoice: if his mind was
intent on that and the invoice was ex-
posed before the Deputy Collector. he
might see it?"
Yes; lust as 1 might see what is on
that paper now II 60 around on that side
of you. If came around and put my arm
on your shoulder and said, Evans. how
are you?'. That is pretty good cigar
you are smoking, and my mind was made
up to find out what was in that paper. |
would be pretty apt TO find out before |
got through with you"
us there any opportunity in your own
Office for this Information to be got out?"
"Of course there Is"
"There is opportunity there?"
"There is opportunity 10 every office for
information to leak out if anybody wants
to abuse confidence"
From Mr.. Boden 1t was learned that
Bauer Bros. 81 Co. was the house COM
plainen of by Mr.. Bergman as having
acquired knowledge of the latter's import
ing business, but that that firm is the only
one.
R. H. Swayne admitted like Mr..
Boden that in brokers' offices there were
the same opportunities for knowing the
contents of invoices as in the Custom
house. In the Custom house there had
been opportunities for INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons TO ind out business not their own. but
the fear of detection probably deferred
them from availing themselves of them.
His clients had never complained to him.
He had seen examiners of the customs
service with handfuls of invoices-outside
examiners.
1t has been quite possible for impro per
persons to examine the invoices and en-
tries OF merchants at the Cusro m house,
admitted G.. E. HeiSe, and he explained
how.
He had been told. also, that Examiner
Stackpool, who examines dry goods and
fancy goods from Europe, had taken in
voices out and had shown them to other
merchants; other brokers had so informed
him. 1t came out. too. that Mr.. Heise coz
sidered Mr. Stackpool an arbitrary official
in his treatment of impor:ations. j. S.
Nation also objected to Mr.. Stack o. DOL.
Mr. Nation is the broker for Wells,
Fargo & Co. and the Pacific Mail and De-
ciden,al and Oriental Steamship compa-
MES. He did not regard Mr.. Stackpool as
a good judge of miscellaneous articles. w.

Impressions not favorable toward Mr..

THE SCHOOL BOARDS ACTION
Only Directors Carew and Dunn Vote
to Continue the Present Ex-
travagant System.

A resolution to close the carpenter-shop
on September l and discharge all OF the
employees except the head carpenter was
read at the meeting Of the Board Of Edu-
cation last night. 1t had been signed by
Directors Hyde, French. RosewaId. Gull
yer. Ames and Dutton. Director Burke
was willing that this be done, but he
wanted the head carpenter also dis
charged. The resolution stated that the
pentar-shop is q wasteful and extrava-

and that repairs can be made with greater
dispatch aud less cost by private contracts
and ordinary business methods. The 1880
luton allows the Committee on Buildings
and Grounds to retain enough employees to
complete work actually in progress which
cannot reasonably be suspended. No new
work, however. Is to DE begun by the
carpenter-shop. All OF its stock and
material are to be sold at auction.
President Hyde called attention to an
other needed reform: THE supply de-
partment employs men who are sent from

was adopted.
Alice Carey Waterman, chairman of the
committee on education of the California
Stale WOman's Alliance, called the boards
attention to the fact that the Committee on
Classification had not kept its appointment
Tor meeting to discuss proposed reforms
in education. commencing with the young
est children in kindergartens. The matter
was referred 10 the committee of the whole
for consideration. Director Burke said
that the department had n OF enough money
to institute the proposed reforms, which
would entail an expense of $4,000.
Miss Harriet NJ. Fairchild asked to be
assigned to duty as principal OF the
POtrero school. While she was principal
OF the Croker school she was transferred
to the Potrero school. Before there was
occasion for her to resume actual teaching
she was granted leave of absence, ex-
tending to the beginning of this fiscal

KELLY RESIGNS.
The Other Directors Are
in a Dilemma.
They Refuse to Allow a Retirement
From the Presidency of Two
Mining Companies.

The directors of the Alta and Lady
Washington Mining Companies see no way
yet out of their difficulties arising from
Treasurer Derby's peculiar methods of
financing.
Their troubles are augmented by the
action Of number of shareholders who
are insisting upon Derby's prosecution.
Some of the directors seem determined to
protect him. They decline to consider
his use of the company's funds as GRIM
inal and look only to civil settlement Of
the loss.
The only restitution which Derby seems
disposed to make for the S23. 900 deposited
with him as treasurer is to give his per-
sonal note. This mode of settlement is
not regarded as satisfactory by many
stockholders, although it is said that the
directors are disposed to accept it
as clearing Derby of his obligations.
The situation was still further compli.
Gated by the resignation Of r. E. Kelly,
who was elected president about a month
ago. Kelly declined tn approve any
measure generating Derby from his obli-
cations, and he will not be satisfied with
anything short of return Of the money
dollar tor dollar entrusted to the keeping
of the treasurer. Believing that the other
directors would not uphold him in demand
ing strict accounting Kelly called a
special meeting Of the board Yesterday and
peremptorily presented his resignation.
His action took the other directors
unawares. They realized that without
the presence in the board of Kelly, con-
sidered TO represent the stockholders who
insist upon dealing summarily with Derby,
they would be placed in an awkward
dilemma. They hesitate. about accepting
the treasurer's note in repayment for his
use of the cOmpany's funds. they can
hardly exonerate him entirely. and for
var inus reasons they dislike to place
criminal charge against him. They wanted
Kelly to share the responsibility. and 30
they refused to accept his resignation. H..
insisted that il should stand. and dead
lock ensued
After the adjournment of the meeting
strenuous efforts were made to conceal the
fact Of Kelly's resignation, Secretary
Osborn DENYING positively that it had been
rendered. Kelly declined to discuss the
matter with a reporter, or to make any
statement. He stated subsequently, to n
friend, however. that he would insist upon
his resignation standing and that the
directors would be obliged to accept it. for
he would no longer perform the presiden-
tial duties.
The other directors decided to consult
