Mr.. Hull of Iowa, chairman of the Com

TO the House on the army appropriation

recommendation changing the law so as TO
provide that hereafter appointments to the
pay department of the army shall be made
from the line of the army:
Your committee recognizes the staff ap-
poinuments as The most desirable positions,
and think The Officers of The army should
have reserved The right TO receive the
appointments 10 all vacancies in the staff.
THE Officers of the army are restricted
10 one line OF ambition, and your committee
believes it unjust TO permit appointment
from civil life TO any staff corps of the

ONE of the grounds alleged for the
payment of a fee of $4,000 to Mr.. Booth
for services in the Colt case is his al
leging that his income for every day
in the week including Sundays is $40.
On this basis he figures that there is
due him from the state the sum of
$4,000 in that case. Again there is
the testimony of Judge Stewart that
he could not afford to remain on the
circuit bench after his second term
because he could make more off the
bench. He alleges that when his
first year Is over he will have made
$4,000 whereas on the bench he
would make but $4,000. The testi-
mony of one of the most eminent
lawyers whether In or out of the state
is important on this point. We refer
to Judge r. A. Harrison who is con-
sidered at the very head of the bar in
this city. Questioned on the subject
of legal incomes the Judge went on
record as saying that his own income
was not $4,000 NOR anything like
it, If such is the case, what must
be the income of other lawyers who
are claiming to make all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000 year. There is
such a thing as booking great deal
of money, but the collection of the
same is difficult thing. Columbus

THE nomination of Mr.. Henry Rohrs
as waterworks trustee is one of the
best that could have been made. Mr..
Roller, his opponent in the caucus,
would have made an equally good
nominee, and the race between these
two popular citizens was almost an
even one, there being only differ
ence of five votes between them. Mr..
Rohrs should be elected by all means,
as his experience will be of much
value to the board and to the tax
payers generally. In the infancy of
the waterworks and electric light
plants the board should be composed
of our very best citizens, those who
are fitted for the duties which devolve
upon them as members of this impor-
tant board. Such citizen is Mr..
Rohrs.

THE Senatorial contest in Ken
lucky is still on. but in a more com
plicated state than ever. The third
member of the present legislature
died on Monday, and as the consti-
tutional limit for the election of a
Senator expires on the 18th, sue
cessor cannot be elected in time to
take hand in the Senatorial fight.
The Democratic members have it
in their power to elect Senator
Blackburn, but they allow them
selves to be divided upon the money
question, which is quite silly in the
extreme. Mr.. B. is the caucus nomi-
nee of the Democrats and he de-
serves an election.

A BOSS RIDDEN PARTY.

What spectacle the Republican
party of the nation presents at this
time anyhow. In every state there
isa boss" In Ohio Forakeri is boss.
He does as he pleases and his wishes
are implicitly obeyed. Quay is the
Pennsylvania boss Platt is the
Empire state boss. Bradley bossesin
Kentucky, and Clayton in Arkansas,
with Filley doing the same thing in
Missouri. Alger bosses in Michi-
gan, Wellington in Maryland, Sewell
IA New Jersey, Evans in Tennessee,
Reed in New England, Harrison in
Indiana, Jamison in Chicago and
Illinois, and so on to Montana, where
Tom Carter tells the Republican how
to vote and who for. All told the
Republican party could be counted
on the fingers of the two hands. The
balance of the party while numeri-
cally stronger is q mere plaything.
1t is like so many fox and geese in
the hands of the shifty player. They
are moved to-day to one position and
tomorrow another. In other words
the old feudal system of the middle
ages, seems to have come in vogue
with the Republican party of this
country. In those days petty lord
would go to war with his vassals at
his heels and when besieged would
shut himself up in his castle with his
retainers and fight it out. AT st.
Louis this coming June the world
will witness a similar spectacle. Reed
will come from the East with his lit
tie retinue OF followers. Then Nor
