time winding up some business belonging

A South Carolina delegation called, head

Postmaster Hill, while ex-Senators Lynch
and Bruce led little group of Mississip-

publican politician.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell continues in charge OF the divi-
sion and no appointments were announced
for fourth-cl offices.
The announcement that postmaster
has been appointed for Representative
Cannon at Danville, ILL.,, seems to have
set everybody to work on positions of
this kind. 1t is believed by many that
large number OF nominations wiz be
sent in when Congress reassembles.
The idea that changes will be withheld
in order to coerce Congress seems to be
losing its hold on the fancy of persons who
are interested in the action OF the Presi-
dent, and it is now thought appointments
will be made as they are agreed upon with
out reference to the effect on legislation
Plenty OF time will be taken to deliberate
and get concerted action on the part of
state delegations. but when a man secures
the united support of Congressman who
have right tG be heard there will be no
delay in sending in his name to the Senate.
Another point is that few places will be
filled by promotions OF persons already
in the service. The pressure is SO great
and the places are so few for persons who
really deserve consideration that Re-
publicans already in place will have
little consideration for the higher and
unclassified offices. To make change of
this kind might prove to be the appointment
of Democrat; for as soon as the vacancy
falls within the classified service the per-
son who is finally drawn into the govern
ment employment from outside must come
upon certification by the Civil Service
Commission without reference to politics.
Although Secretary Bliss is out OF the

determine who shall fill the places in his
department. or course. there are very

ATTORNEYS FEES.

Some people have the impression
that attorneys appointed by the
Court to defend those charged with
crime in this State receive compen-
sation from the county therefore.
This is erroneous When a person
brought before the court charged
with the commission of crime in
Pennsylvania states that he has no
funds to employ counsel the court
assigns some member of the bar to
defend him. For this service there
is no compensation provided by law,
and the commissioners have no war
rant or right to pay and do not in
fact pay one farthing. The attor-
ney acts ON the request of the court,
and however distasteful OF laborious
the work of the defense may be, he
gives his best services cheerfully,
and without reward OF gain or the
hope thereof, in order that the per-
son charged may have a fair and inn
partial trial by a jury of his peers

counties of the State most remote
from it June 25th, Senator White,

heard of this attempt to wrong the
people of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey in order TO benefit a few
spectators Thanks are specially
due to Senator Brown for his earn
est and able speech in opposition to
it. He was fully aware of the irre-
parable injury it would infict on
Philadelphia, and had the satisfac-
tion of seeing the infamous bill
killed. Philadelphia Evening Star.
Every one living along the Della
ware will heartily thank the Sena-
tor for his successful effort in kill
ing the infamous dam bill. Had the
measure succeeded it would have
worked irreparable injury to all the
people of the valley. A man living
so remote from this section as Sena-
tor Brown, of Westmoreland, is to
be especially commended for the
broad scope of his vision which en-
bles him to see over the whole State,
and protect all her interests. Such
man is worthy of promotion, for
the welfare of all the people would
be safe in his hands.
