Assessed for Their Jobs.

The Chicago Times-Herald of today.
under a Springfield date, gives an eX-
tended account of an extensive system
of assessments levied by the republi-
can state officials on all holding office
for the fall campaign fund. These
assessments run as high as 90 per
cent. This extraordinary action was
taken by secret conference. which
his excellency. the governor of the
state. honored by his presence. The
assessment extends to all employees of
the state. the attaches of the state
asylum at Elgin having already been
notified OF whit is expected of them.
The Times-Herald says:
There IS no way of telling exactly
how many men are working for the
state in the various institutions and
Offices. 1t is easily to he seen that it
must be several thousand. There are
six elective offices, each of which has
its staff of employes-governor. sec
rotary of state, auditor, treasurer. SUI
perintendent of public instruction and
attorney general. Then there is the
superintendent of insurance, with 4
biz staff. the state board Of health and
the state board Of pharmacy. The
state board of railroad and ware
house commissioners have some
clerk at Spr ngf I'D and 4 large staff
in the grain inspectors office here in
Chicago. and still anotherin the branch
Office at East St. Louis. Then there
are the state penal reformatory and
eleemosynary institutions, including
six insane hospitals, two peniten
tiaries. the reform school and the
various institutions for female Offend
ers, for the deaf and dumb and blind
and fceble-minded. There are about
twenty of them, all todd. There are
the various boards, too, like the board
of dental examiners, arbitration com
missioners, canal commissioners, live
stock board. agricultural board,
board of charities, and So on. Many
of these boards and departments have
special attorneys, and of course they
will he expected to pay up. 1t is not
likely that employees of the purely
educational institutions. like the state
university and the normal schools.
would be assessed generally, but each
of them has a few employees who
might be reached without exciting
comment

ADMIRAL DEwEY's letter to Con-
gresham Livingston. of Georgia. ac-
knowledging the action of congress
in extending him a vote of thanks,
and recognizing and expressing graft
tude for the unusual distinction thus
accorded, is characteristic both in the
Observation-Disclosures in the broad
patriotic sentiment expressed. Not
even in the glory of his own triumph
does the American admiral forget
the greatest blessing the war has
brought to his country N the wiping
out Of sectional auimosities and the
firm restoration of national unity.
Says EAdmiral Dewey in his letter:
1T is a source of additional pleasure
to ne. a Vermonter, that the mover
Of the resolution was not a man from
the north, but one from the far south.
This is one of the good signs of the
times. In the hour of danger there is
no south. no north, but one united
country. Nav we never hear of sec
tionalism again. There are no lines
drawn in the navy l need not say it
may interest you to know that my
