Secretary Morton Criticised.

The House Of Representatives last Saturday
passed the agricultural appropriation bill,
which includes an appropriation for the dis
trihution of seed This item caused a spicy
debate. The distribution of seed by Senators
and Representatives had long been done.
Secretary Morton thought it useless eXpen-
diture, and of his own molten discontinued it.
Last year Congress directed him to continue
it. In the debate last Saturday it was charged
that the Secretary had ordered defective seed,
in order to discredit the distribution. and
another Representative stated that a seed
firm, May & Co.. of Minneapolis, had offered
him a bride, not to make public that they had
furnished inferior seed.
Without discussing the merits of the qUes-
lion. we are glad to see Secretary Morton has
been given to understand that he is not greater
than the representatives of the people. The
President and every member Of his Cabinet
has ignored the legislative branch of the gov
eminent, the President even treating Congress
with contempt. The Democratic party. III
the national platform, declared for new po-
!icv. thus putting the seal of condemnation
upon that of the President. One Cabinet Off
Ger stood by the party, but the President and
the other members of the Cabinet fought the
party nominees, and i'll doing so all will pass
into political seclusion in less than II month.

Breakers Ahead for Mckinley.

In less than four weeks Mr.. Mckinley will
have become installed as President of the
United States Like his immediate prede-
cessor, as indications now point, he will have
8 hostile Senate, and will relinquish his office
with a divided party aud with untulhlled
premises No radical tariff bill can be passed,
and it does not seem probable that by inter-
national agreement or by legislation by our
Congress. can be effected any substantial
change in our financial situation. The tariff
benefciaries will not be pleased at the result
of four years of McKinleyism, and The fnan-
cial situation is not likely to be improved.
Besides. the Cabinet that has been constructed
is likely to displease the party by the distri-
button of patronage and the conduct of their
Offices.
1t has become of late years fashionable to
dwell much upon business methods and APP
pointments to Office upon merit instead of

In republic political parties are essential,
and parties can only be maintained by re-
warding competent men and party workers
with official position. Civil service reform,
as preached by the purists, is a humbug.
