mission announcing the recent extern
sions in the civil service 10y the Pres
ident tina further extensions were to
be made at an early date, has been
discussed in tho departments and
among oflicia's who know, and it is
said the next extension will include
chiefs Of divisions in the various de-
~partmcnts. which would be a very i'm
portant move. The salaries paid to
these officers are $1,000 each. They
have AWAY, beer held us political
plums for the smaller politicians who
seek offices in washington ard il is
claimed that oftcutimes they are APP
pointed without any fitness whatever
for the positions t,cy hold. In many
eases the assistant chiefs do all the
business of a division chief during an
entire administration. sometimes ii
has been suggcsted thai these as
~sis'ants be promoted, but they ZEN
orally decline because they fear a new
administration might dispense with
them and they would be out of Il posi-.

Shooting CuckooS.

The "cuclloo0 and 'pie counter"
democrats in Congress are catching
it from all sides. The gold bug
dailies are about done with them
and are abusing them in a way to
make a dog ashamed of his master
while the Populist papers are hold
ing them up to ridicule of the
whole country. A short time ago
Lafe Pence of Colorado made a
speech in the House describing the
manner they grabbed their coats
and ran out of the hall to avoid
voting. And this ridiculous fill
clustering of both republican and
democrat members was under the
dictatiOn of Tom Reed of Maine and
another Tom-"General Tom Thum
of the democracy as Pence dubbed
him. Pence called their names in
his speech and these hypocrits took
their blistering in presence of the
House and galleries administered
by the sharp tongued populist
member of Colorado. This congress
is a crying shame to the country.

Defeat of the Hayes Bill.

The assessment bill was defeated
last week in the House by a vote of
5S to % Messrs. Maclley and
Thomas voted for it and Woolley
against it. Boss Rasin and Geo.
Cotton were against the bill while
German favored it, which was
against it. So here we have a fair
stand off of its merits. We read
the bill, or rather the governors
bill and the Hayes bill before they
We're altered to make the defeated
bill and we don't know whether it
was good bill or not, and we're
not going to cuss any. We mean
we don't know whether on special
principles the bill was good, per-
haps it was, but on general princi-
pies we know it was bad.
Let us have another whack at
that 18th article of the Bill of
Rights. We believe the people
would knock it out the next round.
And then let us have the single tax
for state tax and home rule for the
counties. Then every section can
levy to suit the views of the popula-
ton for domestic purposes we can
never have a Sensible-which is an
equitable and .iust-taX or assess
ment law under present hampered
conditions.

John Sherman.

While this seigniorage biz is a bitter
dose to many Senators, the one who
seems to be entirely broken up over it is
John Sherman. The prevailing opinion
is that Senator Sherman has been legu-
Iariy employed at a regniar salary by the
money aristocracy of Europe ever since
his conversion at the conference at Paris
receipt of large fees for extra efforts, as in
1873 when he secured by stealth the de-
monetization of silver; also in 1873, i'll
1890, and at the special session i'll 1898.
Mr.. Sherman came to Washington as a
Congressman at a salary of s., 500 per
year i'll 1886, and has been either Con-
gresham, Senator or Secretary of the
Treastry ever since. He has drawn i'll
salaries about $780, 900. He has no doubt
spent three times that amount as living
expenses, and is today worth at Feast
$40, 600. He may be worth twice that
for aught any one knows, since he is a
sly Old fox. No doubt he supposed that
his job was completed when the extra
session closed, and that his foreign em-
ployes would pay him of, and lie could
retire with the approving words of ''WeH
done, thou good and faithful servant "
But like Banquo's ghost the silver ques
ton "wouid not down." and the seig
niorage ibiH came up. 1t was really
Iaughable to see the old miser and tricks
ter denounce, plead, faisify. predict, and
threaten He would grow eloquent, then
grave, then get mad, but all to no pur-
pose The Senate enjoyed his discom
future hugely since they realized that it
was "aH for pay" and that the old
trickster was simply earning his fee
