OFFICE SEEKING.

II has become the fashion with a certain
class OF newspapers-the class that affects
superiority to all the rest of creation and
endeavors TO assume direction of the uni
verse-to speak with contempt of men who
seek appointments TO public Office. good
many people in private life. including not
a few who at some time have held office
themselves. follow this cue and sheer at
office seekers as if they were unworthy of
respect-a troop of mendicants i'm fact. 1t

Is no disparagement to the civil-service re-
form system to say that under this repub-
lican form of government rotation i'm Of
flee must always exist TO a greater or less
degree. There can be no permanent office
holding class outside OF the mere clerical
departments. where frequent changes
would interfere with the proper transac-
ton of public business. So long as there
is new President every four years there
will be changes in a host of minor posi-
tions also Whether or not such changes
are desirable or beneficial is a matter open
to discussion. but. at all events. so long
as the custom continues IL is perfectly
proper and honorable for men TO seek Of
fees for themselves. II could be wished
that a method might be devised whereby
the President should be relieved of the
burden of making the appointments. but
In any case 1t is no cause for reproach 10
a man that he asks for place. The theory
that the office should seek the man is a
pleasing one. but as human nature is con-
stituted is not likely TO be put into success
full operation. Sheer merit without accom-
panying seif-assertion seldom wins the
prizes In any line of endeavor and the man
who sits back and waits for an Office to
find him out has small chance against the
one who goes boldly and asks for it,

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.

The called session of Congress, in addl-
ton TO passing a tariff law. will be forced
to pass several appropriation bills which
Mr.. Cleveland did not sign the last day OF
the session. This will be an important
duty for Congress. at the very outset OF the
Republican administration. for the reason
that increasing expenditures the past few
years have attracted the attention and
TO some extent the suspicion of the coun-
try. In his inaugural President Mckinley
called attention to the necessity of greater
care in making appropriations. He evil
IDENTIFY has no faith in the theory that this
Is a billion-dollar Nation and for that rea-
son must appropriate more than a billion
dollars every two years. The expenditures
of great nation must be large at any time.
The building of "A navy, the large expendi-
ture for pensions and the present expendi-
lures for Notifications are causes for spe-
cially large appropriations; yet there is
reason to believe that there is an opportu-
nifty for the exercise OF prudence in voting
and expanding money.
Congress should look at this matter fairly
and realize the conditions. At the present
time the revenues are S6O000,00O less than
the expenditures. The proposed tariff will
probably increase the revenues about that
figure. No tariff or revenue law which the
people will stand can advance the revenues
much more than $50. 100000 year. that
it is matter of necessity TO reduce, rather
than increase, the appropriation bills.
Therefore CONGRESS must sion where IN *
1t is useless to hold out to any portion of
the people the possibility of greater ex-
penditure. And ii will be we'll that the
Congress which will meet next Monday
should emphasize this fact. no matter who
asks for large expenditures or how worthy
the object. Four years of deficit is as much
as this country can stand in succession.
The era of larger appropriations dates
back 10 the Cleveland and Democratic Con-
gress which came in at the middle of the
Cleveland administration. Representative
Samuel j. Randall could not be put at the
head of the ways and means committee by
free-trade party. He could be is-
Eored, so he was put at the head of the APP
preparations committee. There ne had more
power than the free-traders desired him 10
nave. so portion of the committees were
given the power of reporting their own APP
preparation bills. The result has been
largely increased appropriations. 1t is not
probable that those committees in the
House will surrender the power acquired
at that time but some of the appropria-
lions should be reduced. that the ag-
gregate of expenditures shall be kept be-
low the current receipts of the treasury.

If the so-called quart-shop law had a pen
atty clause it would probably apply to drug
glsts and require them to take out county

five gallons. except on the written prescrip-
