1t is lucky that Col. Henry Casson, sec
retary of State OF Wisconsin, has been
heard from thus early in the game. He
has sent word to the horse committee
that he wants room enough on Pennsyl-
vania avenue TO have tweut y-six mount
ed people, and hc also wants two $40 and
twenty-four So horses. This would Seem
at first like an unwarranted discrimina-
tion on the part Of Col. Casson in favor Of
the secretary of State of Wisconsin, and
with him the Governor, and also an un-
warranted discrimination against twenty
four members or tine Governors staff,
who are evidently to ride. Col. Casson
doesn't make 1t clear in his communication
whether he wants two horses purcha sed
outright for SO apiece, or $50 for the
two, and whether be expects to get twen-
ty-four others outright at So apiece. Pos
sibly this is a fair rate for Mexican mus
tangs, but we would have Col. Henry Cas-
son understand that this is not the kind
OF horse with which We wish to disport
ourselves in Washington Col Henry Cas-
son. having been Uncle Jerry Rusk' pri-
vate secretary on one occasion, ought to
know this.

The trouble with Hoffman's book Race
Traits and Tendencies" is that very com
mon fault of the statistiCan "a tendency to
choose those statistics which prove his
point He takes the ground that the negro
is deteriorating morally, physically aud
economically. Some of his arguments are
based on statistics obtained from the great
cities, where the deatR-rate is high anu
the moral status in many cases low. As
to the economic value of the negro being
less than it was quarter of century ago,
this, { true. is due to many other causes
besides race traits and tendencies, The
negro was valuable in agriculture, and agri-
culture is not of SO much economic value

Eugene Higgins of Maryland, who was
appointment clerk during a part OF Mr..
Cleveland's first administration, was
visitor at the House end of the Capitol
yesterday. Gene as his friends famil-
iaTly call him, looks as fresh and bright
as of yoTe. Notwithstanding the fact that
he has long since pa sscd the meridian OF
life. Major william Dickson tells this
story on Eugene Higgins.
II was sitting in Senator Charlie Far
wells committee room some years ago,
when Senator Anthony Higgins OF Del
aware came in l was introduced to the
man from the Blue Hen State and OBJ
served:
Senator, l know Il namesake OF yours,
Eugene Higgins of Maryland
Ion, yes said the Senator, i have
heard a good bit about that member OF the
Higgins family. | remember just alter
my election to the Senate was announced,
l received IL telegram from the Mary
land Higgins which nearly convulsed me
with laughter. 1t read something Ike
this Il congratulate the member OF the
Higgins family who has broken into the
United States Senate. Ii the half that
is said about me is true, l am playing
i'll luck to keep out of the pcnitentiary.'
No many who ever held office was bused
more than Eugene Higgins, during his
short term in office, and all on account
OF his activity in firing Republican ''rascals"
to make room for party friends.

Appointed County Attorney.


On Monday last Judge Piper ap-
pointed Clay McNamee county at
torney. This was done npon Mr..
McNamee's petition. 1t will be
remembered that at the late cleo
ton an amendment to the consti-
tuition was submitted to the voters
of the state abOlishing the Office of
district attorney, and creating the
Office of county attorney. This
amendment was declared carried
by the supreme court and is now
part Of the fnndament tai law. But,
rs is often the case, this provision
is very indefinite as to when it
takes effect, consequently there are
conflicting views as to when it will
go into operation. II is for the
purpose of being on the safe side
that Mr.. McNamee was appointed
county attorney. If the office of
district attorney is abolished his
