A GOOD MOVE.

The Board of Supervisors, at the present quarterly meeting, directed the sheriff to enclose the court house yard with fence. and to otherwise im- proving the public property. To give force to the order, they appropriated the sum of $2O0, to be expended for the work. under the direction of the sberitf. The IS move in the right direction. It has been 8 matter of wonder to us why this has not been done long since. The private property on all four sides of the court house lot has been more or less while the public plat has been left in the original desert, No reason exists why this lot should not be converted into an attractive park. Let the board purchase few more wa ter shares, and order trees planted in the coming spring, and the appearance of things around the court house wlll quickly improve

pass. They can harg it up indefinitely by proposing amendments that they know the democrats win not allow to be added.
 Boss Hanna has not had much suc- cess in bossing his party in the senate, but he made a success of his fight on the antitrust amendment to the tariff bilL and compelled the republican eau GUS, hurriedly called at the eleventh hour, to decide that the anti-trust amendment, which had been prepared and adopted by the republican steering committee, should not be offered in the senate. That proposed amendment has been introduced as bill by Senator Thurston, but there isn't the slightest probability of its passing; ifthere was, Boss Hanna wou.d have snothsr repub- hcan cancus called tO prayeGt f
 IL IS now stated privately in Sdminis- sration circles, that campaign promises made by Boss Hanna makes it neces- sary for Mir. Mckinley to send special message to congress asking for legisls- ton for the appointment of currency comm ssion, notwithstanding the notice SCI we'd upon Boss Hanna several weeks ago by the silver senators that no such legislation should be acted upon at this session of congress.
 General WoOdford, our new minister to Spain, has gone home, but he will re- turn to Washington to attend 8 grand dinner to which he was invited by the Spanish minister when he called on that official personally last week, in- stead of merely sending his card, in ac- cordance with the usual diplomatic eti- ouette. He will not sail for Europe un til July 2S.
 Mir. John R. Mclean says the charge that himself and Mir. Paul Sorg had in stigated the big coal strikes for the pur- pose of making political capital against MT. Hanna in Ohio is too ridiculous for serious discussion, and is, of course, without the slightest foundation.

 they must withdraw that amendmt mt, and Mir. Teller made his remarks more nsgging by adding that there had been reports that republican senators would be glad to see the bill defeated, and that this new proposition looked very much as though the committee was not anx ious to pass the bill. This brought about hurried consultation of repub- licans and the announcement that the committee would withdraw the amend ment. Then Senator Allen made an in- dividual attempt to get the bounty for his constituents by offering the amend ment himself, and Senator Kyle made speech in favor of it, but it's death was assured when the republicans withdrew their support.
 The tariff bill might easily have been disposed of last week had the republic ans been able to stop wrangling among themselves long enough to agree upon several proposed amendments.
