Governor Tunnel has sent to the
State Senate for confirmation the list of
appointments he has made under the
new Constitution A careful scrutiny
of the names on the list justifies the
assertion that none Of the ap-
pointees can possibly be objected to on
the broad grounds upon which the
power OF confirmation or rejection were
founded by the delegates to the Consti-
tutional Convention. It was never in
tended that the members OF the Senate
should use this power to wreak ven.
geance because Of failure to induce thl
governor to appoint some particular
friend. In judging the appointees the
only things which should be considered
are the mental and moral fitness of the
men who hold the offices.

The Beard Of Directors Of the Street
and Sewer Department is to becom-
mended for its Intention to increase the
number of arc lights in the residential
quarters Of the city. They will render
travel at night safer and pleasanter. It
has been demonstrated that plenty OF
light will do more to suppress crime
than the most stringent laws. The au-
thorities Of most Of the large cities
have recognized this principle, and, as
fast as practicable, are lighting up al
the dark places in the municipalities.
The proposed new charter for this
city is entitled TO fair and impartial
consideration, and we are glad to rote
that the State Senate has so far &c
laxed its RUE OF no new business as Il
permit Of its coming up for debate ant
action az this session.

The Methodist Claim Scandal.
Washington Post


Referring to the scandal over the claim
Of the Methodist Book Concern and the
manner in which it finally secured recog-
milton by the Senate. the Asheville N.C)
Citizen says:
'The United States has found that 1t
was deceived by Messrs. Barbee and
Smith and by Stahlman (all Of whom adj
NIT their guilD into passing the Just ana
righteous claim of the Methodist Book
Concern. The Methodist Bishops. as was
10 be expected Of honest men, promise the
return of the appropriation, and we do not
doubt that It will be returned. Now the
correct thing for the Senate is to so
mend its way that an admittedly just
claim will not again have TO knock at the
vaults of the United Staes Treasury Ior
thirty years before it is paid and theh
only half paid, and, worse than all, only
paid on the showing made by professional
LOBBYISTS who demand eXtortionate fees
The revelations that have transpired in
the investigation of this affair have been
as discreditable TO the Senate as TO Stahl-
man or Barbee and Smith. A legislative
body that refuses for generation 10 pay
an honest debt is not more honorable
than an individual that does the same
thing"
This is the only proper comment upon
an incident which was deplorable in Itself
and which has been the cause OF meal
culable scandal throughout the country.
The story is an old one, the story OF
vile and discreditable system, thousands
of whose victims have died Of broken
hearts, while thousands more. here and
elsewhere. are monuments of Its cruelty
and shame. What dweler in Washington
does not know-has not seen-the evil
fruit of this governments attitude toward
IFS creditors? who has not beheld with
sorrow and indignation the slow, inexora-
bic fate OF the public claimant? Hundreds
of obscure graves testify TO their misera-
HE death. Hundreds of tottering, dispir-
tied. and shabby wrecks bear witness 10
the nations policy of reputation They
come here, this melancholy procession OF
MARTYRS. hopeful. radiant at first, sur
prised and incredulous next, and hopeless
and ruined at last. They pass, before our
eyes, through every stage of decadence
and dilapidation, and our hearts MI up
with pity as they go.
This claim of the Methodist Book Con-
Germ represented q just and honest indeDt-
edness on the part of the government 10
one of the most honorable and excellent
associations in this or any other country.
For years it had been haunting committee
rooms and Hobbies, always to be snubbed,
forgotten. or ignored. The most conVinc-
ing statements of its validity produced no
good results. Delegations came, impor-
tuned. begged for recognition, prayed for
audience. and then vanished. Year after
yea~. session after session, the disgraceful
spectacle was reproduced.

The Tax on kilograms.
(New York WORLDLY


Perhaps no one of the new war taxes
creates more annoyance than the one
cent tax on kilograms.
Nobody ought to object to the tax itself.
To the ordinary citizen it is much too
trining for that. whatever it may be to
great establishments that send multitudes
OF kilograms. But usually the casual
sender of a telegram has no one-cent
stamp in his possession. Neither has the
operator at the small office from which
no sends his dispatch.
Yet he is In a hurry. Otherwise he
would not send dispatch at all.
The whole difficulty may be easily over
come If the Treasury Department will
authorize telegraph companies 10 keep
blanks with engraved stamps on them,
charging the extra cent on each message,
and If a message overruns the space on a
blank. furnishing unstamped blanks for
the succeeding pages.
Nowhere else in the world Is II truer
that time is money than in the sending
OF telegraphic dispatches. The new tax
is trifling in itself TO all but few. 1t
ought. also, to be made as trifiing as pos
sible IN its demands upon the time OF busy
and hurried men.

The Truth of History,
Gatonton GA Mesgengerl

(Eatonton (Ga) MeSsenger)
The Atlanta Journal has war cores
pendent who signs himself Henry
Rcmeyn, Breyet Major L. S. A., Re
terd." who is given overmuch TO the use
of the terms rebel" and rebellion" in
referring 10 the war between the States
and to those who defended the Southern
States against their invaders in that war.
In the interest of the truth of history
we suggest that the letters of Mr..
Romeyn. "Breyet Major, u. S. A., Re
tired" be subjected to an editing that
will exclude from them terms that are
false in fact and offensive in significance.
before they are permitted 10 appear in
the columns Of the journal. And we
will take this occasion to urge upon the
press of the South the duty it owes to
the people of the South and the truth
OF history in this regard. The editorial
management Of every southern newspaper
should make it an inyiolable rule Of the
office that the word 'rebel' and ire
bellion" shall never appear in their coll
umns I'm reference to the war in which
American patriots fought under Jefferson
Davis and Robert l.. Lee in defence OF
the principles Of sef-government and
constitutional liberty promulgated by
jefferson and Madison. Hancock, and
Adams, and for which American patriots
fought under Washington and Henry Lee.
and in behalf OF which American soldiers
are now marching TO battle under F1tz-
hugh Lee. Northern papers are abandon
ing the use Of those misleading and
offensive terms; even the New York
Tribune uses in their stead the term
Civil War;" but we cannot expect that
the youth and the coming generation OF
the South will have a correct under
standing Of the great war between the
States while they are continually reading
OF It in the columns OF southern papers
as 1.-THE war OF the rebellion"
Let the United Confederate veterans
take this matter up. Their efforts to
establish and maintain the truth of HIS
tory will be of little avail in the face
OF continued culpable Indifference and
negligence on the part Of the press. That
was a war between States. IL should
always be alluded 10 as the war between
the States. "War OF the rebellion" IS
historical and offensive mis-
homer. II misrepresents the true char
aoter OF that war, and a rigid censorship
OF the press should exclude it from the
columns OF southern papers, and from
all papers and publications, that have
proper regard for the truth OF history.
