THERE WASN'T TROUGH ROOM.
"A GOOD THING FOR M. SIS.

The best compliment President Nc
Kinley has yet received is the muttered
denunciation of the ofice-seekers, dis
appointed in the ''clean sweep; The
changes in officials since the election
have by no means been numerous, and
it is even charged by the disgruntled
that Secretary Gage actually
refused to use his office to aid the late
Republican candidate for mayor in
Chicago. It is difficult for the office
seekers and politicians to understand
these things. Congressman are abus-
ing the civil service law, which stands
between them and the spoils, and
threaten to repeal it, But they really
do not believe a word they say. The
civil service law is the greatest boon
to the congressman. When the hun
cry offce-seeker approaches him, a
dozen or more for the same Office, it is
much easier to tell them the civil SER
vice law makes it impossible to get
Offices than to go to work and get them.
This will infuriate the office-seeker
against the law and not against the
congressman. But if he should, after
great effort, succeed in getting the Of
fee for one of a dozen applicants he
would be making one migrate and
eleven active enemies. The civil SER
vice law is an excellent thing for con.
gressmen, and they know it. It will
not be repealed lfi7a71eapalis Times.

ago as saying that Knute Nelson would
have no influence in the senate. The

says: Thanks, gentlemen, you done a

of the State, but so long as they are
themselves 'sdone," we shall not enum-
crate said deeds.-Anok0 Herald.

most sharply criticized was the useless.
delay which characterized the first
days of the session and the
consequent rush when the members at
tempted to clear the calendar in the
remaining five days. The Minneapolis
Times speaking Of this action says:
"Here develops another absurdity of
The governor is expected
to read, digest and approve or disap-
prove of all these bills within three
days, while it is a moral certainty that
he has not the time to read the titles
of all of them. The burden thus
thrown upon coordinate branch OF
the State government is another evil
dence that making laws is with the
average legislator sort of frolic about
as humorous as the frisking of an ele-
plant and more deadly to the bystand-
ers. What right has the Legislature,
which is merely colleague of the gov
ernor, to insult him with such palpa-
BILE disregard of his rights? What
reason can it assign for practically
forcing him into a position where. he
must violate his oath of Officer"

Success.
CAPT, DART, POPULAR OFFICER.
He Won the Sword--The Dance Tonight
Terminates the List of
Amusements.

The RIflemen's fair closed last night.
1t was brilliant ending of a brilliant
event.
The financial report has not yet been
made, but the receipts will not be far
from $4,000, with net profits of not
less than $1,000.
The articles remaining on hand at
the various booths-and they were not
many-were disposed of last night.
There was good crowd. and 1t spent
It's money freely. The various booths
were crowded with purchasers, and
the dice at the candy booth ratified
merrier than ever.
1t has made remarkable record
this candy booth. 1t has sent out
enough sweetness to satisfy a whole
community. The record shows that
500 pounds of Huyler's-think of it,
quarter of ton!-have been handed
over the counter.
The fair, all IN all. has been most
gratifying success. IL reflects great
credit on the Rlflemen, the lady man
ager, Mrs. Bodet, and her assistants.
The complimentary dance, rendered
to the ladies by the Riflemen, occurs
tonight and, after this, the armory
will cease to be gay with Its festal
garDiture.
The most important business of the
last nights program was the decision
of the contest for the most popular
commissioned officer in the military
service in brunswick. Captain r.
Ernest Dart, of the Riflemen, justly
won the handsome prize that was Of
fered-au officers sword. Captain
Dart received over 300 votes, and cas-
lily distanced his competitors.

posed of: The cream and sugar set, E.

tain Einstein; the water color, Joe

them all for himself he, at least, Sc

Washington, March 1.-The Sunday
session of the senate was something
almost unprecedented IN the annals
of Washington life. The floor was
we'll filed, the galleries we're crowded
and but thirteen members failed to
answer to the roll call.
The session, from point of view
purely parliamentary, was only an ex-
tension of that held on Saturday, re-
cess having been taken, instead of aD
adjournment on the day previous.
The sundry civil Appropriation bill
was under consideration, and the su-
gar bounty amendment was agreed to
by vote of 81 to II. This amend
nent carries an appropriation of $1,-
OS5, 156 for bountses earned from Au-
gust 1894 to June 1895.
Senator Cameron pointed out the
fact that the bill involved the unpre-
cedented sum OF SOL 100000, of which
$17,O00,0O0 was for river and harbor
contracts alone. The amendment,
with some notifications, was, never
theless, agreed to.
