A Civil Service Lesson.

The persons recommended for office by
senators, representatives or other party
leaders, ordinarily belong to one of two
classes-those to be prov ided for or those
to be got rid of, says a writer in Harper
Weekly. Those to be provided for are usu-
ally persons who have been and may still
be useful to the party or to the political
potentate who recommends them. Those
to be got rid of are office seekers, who,
like mosquitoes, persistently buzz around
the man of influence and make his life
miserable until they get what they want
or are rudely shaken Off. One of the SEN
ators representing a commonwealth not
very far distant from the District of
Columbia is reported to be pestered by
hundreds of women in his State for com
Portable places in the congressional library
with such furious vehemence and such in
domitable tenacity that he, although not at
all friendly to civil service reform, secret
ly prays to have the library put under the
civil service rules, simply to save him from
the mad house. Everybody who has had
ally experience of executive office in the
national government knows what kind of
argument is now employed with the libra
rian by men of political influence who
wish to unload upon the library their per-
sons to be profided for or to be got rid
of.
''Here is a man," says the senator, s'for
whom | must have place in the library
with good salary-not less than SO
much. The librarian mildly inquiries
about the qualifications of the candidate,
and explains that taking care of great
library is science, and that assistants to be
of service must possess considerable pro-
fessional knowledge and experience. The
senator grows impatient. 81 am very tr-
ed of this eternal talk about qualitica-
lions" says he. s'Do you mean to say that
man presented by me is unfit? / must
have that place for this man, and that is
all there is of itr' And the Librarian may
consider himself lucky if the senator does
not give him to understand that unless
that appointment be forthcoming the Ii
brarian's own position may be in danger.

encouragingly of the improvement in all
lines. In its issue of June Goth it says:
"There is no backward step in business,
although the season of midsummer quiet
is near. Improvement continues, gradual
and prudently cautious as before, although
in many branches evident where no signs
of it appeared few weeks ago. Bust
ness men of the highest standing in all
parts of the country, having gradually
perceived that the tide has begun to rise,
are regulating their contracts and invest
ments and their plans for the future with a
confidence quite unknown to them short
time ago. Great changes before the adj
iournment of Congress are hardly to be
expected, but removal of uncertainty is
with reason expected to bring into opera
ton buying forces which have been re-
stricted for months. The main factor at
this time is the steadily frightening pros
poets for crops. Harvesting of wheat has
already begun with surprisingly good re-
suits, and statisticians of repute calculate
that the winter wheat crop will be co.

Loan and Building Associations.

The U. S. Department of labor in re-
cent bulletin has interesting statistics rela-
tive to building and loan associations.
The States from which comparatively COM
plete reports were received, comprised
California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebras-
ka, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and TIE nnessee.
These States contain over three-quarters of
all the building and loan associations of the
United States existing on January 1, 1893,
the facts regarding which we're embodied
in the ninth annual report of the depart
ment, and Commissioner Wright assumes
that these States are properly representa-
tive of conditions throughout the country.
For these States, the statistics are brought
down to 1896. AS compared with those
of 1898, they show an increase in every
item. The total number of associations
has increased from 4, 400 to 4, Gil; the num-
Der of associations reporting from 4, 443 to
4,531; the shares outstanding from 9, 500
7o5 to 1855, 900, and the installment dues
paid in, paid up and prepaid stock and
profits, from 1910, All, 2s9 to $40, 643, O4S.
The assets increased from SOB, Ais, 395. to
$4S9, $50, 1874.

Congressman Burleigh's Busy Days.

One Of the busiest men at the capital these
hot days is ex-Gov. Burleigh, the new mem
Der from the third Maine district. says a
Washington dispatch of July Sd. He arriv-
ed here Wednesday noon and was sworn in
at Thursdays session. Prior to coming here
he had taken a four days outing in the
Aroostook woods and result was oblig
ed to bring with him several hundred letters
that had accumulated during that time.
Since his arrival here his mail has been over
one hundred letters day, mostly in rea-
tlon to post Office appointments. AS re-
suit Mr. Burleigh's time here has thus far
been chiefly devoted to answering his cor
respondents for he makes it a rule to give a
prompt and courteous reply to every letter
he receives.
In this work Mr.. Burleigh has been assist
ed by his wife and his son. Mr. e. B. Bur-
leigh, who is here with him for this pur-
pose. He has also had the services of an
excellent stenographer and typewriter. AS
he is a rapid dictator and makes long hours
IN his work he will probably be up with his
correspondence by tonight.
In reply to a question relative to the post
office contests in his district, Mr.. Burleigh
said: 81 have been so busily engaged with
other matters since my arrival here that l
have had no opportunity to examine the
papers in any of these cases. l hope to get
my correspondence cleared up to date by
this evening and shall give it no chance to
accumulate hereafter. By the first of the
week | hope to be able to get down to an
examination of these cases and to a number
OF important and deserving pensions, which
merit early consideration Quite a number
of the post office appointments III the third
Maine district We're made before Mr.. MILL
ken's death, but considerable number still
await disposal, In many of them there is
such unanimity of sentiment among the
patrons of the office that they may be easily
decided. In a few the contests are close
and very earnest with the community sharp
ly divided and each side claiming superior
merit and preponderance of influence 1t
is needless to say that such cases are full of
embarrassment and whichever way they
may be decided are sure to occasion more or
less disappointment. In considering them
congressman must act on his best judg-
ment after a careful consideration of all the
circumstances pertaining to each case. He
must put aside personal considerations and
remembering the official character in which
he stands toward the people of his district
endeavor to do what may seem to be the
right thing and for the best interests of the
public service.
Even then he may make mistakes. We
are all human, but he will at least have the
consciousness OF an honest purpose resOlute-
ly carried out, and fair minded men, even
though they differ from his judgments, will
not fail to give him credit for it,
Mr. Burleigh is p easantly located at the
Arlington, and his room with its accumula-
ton of papers has very much the appear
ance of an office and an exceedingly busy
one at that

Beginning with Beet Sugar.

No ime has been lost by the State of
New York in getting down to practical
ideas in encouraging the production of
beet sugar within its boundaries. At the
last session of the Legislature an appro-
priation of $40, 900 was made to promote
the culture of the sugar beet, and State
bou nty will be paid on the crop. The
State Department Of Agriculture has Sc
lected fifteen tracts in thirteen different
counties for official tests. Each farmer
owning the land chosen is paid S25 for it's
use and furnished with rain gauges. He
is required to make weather observations
three times a day, and send weekly reports
to the State bureau. Sugar beet seeds are
supplied to the other farmers who agree to
send in reports at intervals during the sea-
son. By the end of the year New Y ork will
have obtained large fund Of information
on sugar beet conditions throughout the
State, and at a small cost.
One great advantage to the farmer in
growing sugar beets is that it brings into
his neighborhood a large factory with a
numerous force of workers, adding to the
population and to the demand forrther ar
ticles produced on the farm. The average
cost OF factory is $3.50, 900, which is nee
essarily permanent investment, and one
not likely to be made without large addi-
tonal capital. In the United States at
present there are three factories in Cali
fornia and two more in course of erection:
two in Nebraska one in New Mexico, one in
Utah and one in New Y ork State. A COM
parison with Europe in this respect creates
surprise at the back wardness of own coun-
try There are in Germany 391 beet sugar
factories, in Europe $50, in Austria PIG, in
Russia POT, and in Belgium and Holland,
over 200, total of nearly 1900 great fac
tories devoted to one article alone. In eli
mate or soil those countries possess moth
ing not found in the United States.
a great revolution has occurred within a
few years in the world production of su-
gar. Though Cuba's export of sugar has
declined nine tenths, the loss is not seri-
ously felt. Last year six European coun-
sugar Under the stimulus of government
protection and export bounties the price of
sugar, free on board for export, has decin-
ed to about &c. a pound. Yet the area of
land planted with sugar beets in Germany
this year is l ,062, 9OS acres, against |, 054,-
1S4 acres in 1896, and $50, 40 acres in 1895.
Another important fact is that German
farmers get as much sugar from I. % units
of raw beets as formerly from Is units.
1t is manifestly absurd for the United
States to be sending abroad every year
more than 800, 900, 900 for sugar. The
money should be kept at home and 90 into
the pockets of our own farmers, factory
workers and manufactures. [St. Louis

Something to Depend On,

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking of
DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked with La Grippe,
and her case grew so serious that physicians
at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for
her. 1t seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry in store, and selling lots of it, he took
bottle home, and to the surprise of all she
began to get better from first dose, and half
dozen bottles cured her sound and we'll. DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to do this
good work. Try it. Free trial bottles at

JURY SAMPLED THE CIGARs.-A dis
patch from Lynchburg says Judge
Simonton, of the Circuit Court, has
had entered of record, bis opinion,
granting new trial in the case of F.
NJ. Tbreadgill VS.. the United States Ex,
press Company. In the original ui"l
the jury rendered verdict in favor OF
Threadgill, for about 100000. The ex
press company petitioned for new
trial, on the ground hat Threadgili had
exercised undue influence on membt rs
OF the jury by treating each to box OF
cigars curing the progress of the trial.
The SUIT grew out OF large transactions
in shipments of cigars, and Judge S.
monitor, while generating Thresdgilf
from any intention to corrupt the jury,
held that the jurors, by smoking the
cigars, were enabled to ascertain their
quality and character, a result that, by
the ruling OF the court, the plaintiff
Threadgill, was unable TO accomplish
by the introduction OF testimony at 3
trial.
