FALLS, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY 2

now at the national capital who are
displaying consuming desire to
serve their country for q remunera-
tive consideration. This contingent
is described as disorganized mass,
every atom of which is making a
desperate struggle for himself. As
Flower is one of these patriots he
doubtless knows what he is writing
about. 1t is said that he is more
than willing to serve in the capacity
of Commissioner of Navigation at
salary ofthree thousand six hundred
dollars year, and we have no doubt
that the front door-steps to the white
house are loaded with just such self
sacrificing fellows. So far as this
mob of hungry office-seekers is con-
cerned, Mckinley is proceeding
with exasperating deliberation in
making changes, and at best many
bitter disappointments must inevita-
bly, follow this mad rush and
scramble for place. The Emporium
ate demands that are being made
upon Senators and Representatives
for endorsements, IS necessarily tire
some to them, but this nuisance
must be borne by Congressman with
apparent good humor, lest the dis
pleasure of these prominent"
citizens might be incurred and a day
of reckoning come. 1t is unfortun-
ate that there is SO general demand
for places of official preferment, but
this is one of the inseparable con-
ditions of popular government when
the pay of the office-holder is greater
than he can command in ordinary
private business avocations.

Civil Service Reform.


While civil service reform may be,
and doubtless is, all right in theory,
as practiced By the late Cleveland
administration it was not a roaring
success. In the face of orders ex-
tending the scope of civil service
reform, the Democratic administra-
ton in fragrant disregard of both let
ter and spirit of civil service regula-
tons dismissed Republican officials,
and reduced others not dismissed to
places of lower rank and pay, to
create vacancies which were filled
by Democrats who under civil
service rules were ineligible. 1t
now seems probable that to some
extent at least these violations are to
be investigated and those who have
usurped positions contrary to law to
be displaced. This fact is creating
great CONSERVATION among depart
ment clerks in Washington who
know that they are there in viola
ton of law and they are pleading to
be let alone. The only way that
the idea of civil service reform can
be fully carried out is by the prompt
and unceremonious removal ofheads
OF departments, divisions, and
bureaus who violate laws, rules and
regulations passed in conformity
with that idea. Such a radical
method as his for securing civil
service reform in its fullest sense
viii never be adopted so long as
there is more than one political party
in the United States.

County Officials.
u
Silver Toned.

Up in Douglas county a political
convention was recently held for the
nomination of candidates for the
Offices of Comfy and municipal
Judge, in which gold and silver
Democrats, silver Republicans, and
Populists were represented. That
was rather a singular combination,
and we do not understand the shuttle
by which it was effected. The gold
Democrats had to he knocked out
before they learned that they were
not running the convention, and the
silver men nominated L. Nj. Thorson,
formerly of Martell, for county Judge.
This is an intimation on the part of
the silver men of that county that
the gold Democrats are a lot of
political orphans for whom they
have no time or use. A few lessons
of this character will doubtless
teach the gold Democrats that the
only way in which they can run
with the silver Democrats is to
simply follow where they lead.

We do not know what President
Mckinley may do when he acceler-
ates the speed of the machine by
which appointments are made, but
up to the present time he has been
somewhat bashful about recognizing
the effective efforts put forth by
Wisconsin Republicans during the
late campaign, when they covered
themselves all over with glory and
rounded up the seance with a
majority of over one hundred thous-
and for the distinguished apostle of
protection who halls from Ohio.
Just now, however, he is very
industriously engaged in looking
after the tariff grind, and after
Congress adjourns he will doubtless
look up the deferred hopes of a few
ambitious people in Wisconsin.
But it would prove a hopeless task
for him 10 attempt to satisfy the de-
ferred hopes of all.

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish.

Some of the late Bryan boomers
are lamenting the prospect of an
early restoration of the protection
duty on wool, lest the price of
wooden goods be enhanced thereby.
To save to themselves a few cents
upon a suit of clothes they would
see the government borrow money
at the rate of five million dollars per
month for current expenses, Ameri-
can industries paralyzed, and the
wage earners of this country without
employment and consequently
without means with which to buy
goods at any price. They entertain
great fear that the American man
ufacturer will become rich under
the proposed protective system, and
that the wool growers of the United
States obtain a remunerative price
for their wool. Rather than have
capital rewarded to IN extent that
will justify the employment of
labor, these wise statesmen would
prefer to have labor unemployed.
They are so blinded by prejudice
and selfishness that they refuse to
profit by the history of the past.

Senators and Representatives
have had an excellent opportunity
to observe the sublime cheek and
impudence Of the individual who
b~bbed up in the late campaign as
"Cousin Osborne" and who has
secured the position Of Consul Gen.
eral to London, one Of the best
paying positions ut the disposal of
his cousin, Mr.. Mckinley. Itseems
that in seeking and obtaining this
position Cousin Osborne" had
overlooked az order Of Secretary
Olney, issued last October, regu.
latIug consular fees, which has re.
suited in reducing the income of
Consul General to London from
$50, 900 to $40, 900 year TO about
SIP. GOO. When Cousin Osborne"
found this out be WAS indignant.
although there are people who say
that the reduced income Of the
Office is about SIX or seven times as
much as he has ever been able to
earn in private life. &c that os it
may, cousin Osborne applied to
Dir. Mckinley to have that order
Of Secretary Olney's set aside and
the cid scale of consular fees re-
sumed, but Mr.. Mckinley feared
the scandal that would follow such
action on his part, and SAID he
would not 90 it unless Congress
directed 1T 10 be done. This week
