There are some things connected with
this GRAIN Inspection service while
known to a few on the inside, have baan
brought to light by Gov. Lind's admits
tration, that can now be added to the
arraignment.
One Of these is the outrageous and in
decent nepotism that has been racticad
by the Republican administrations In
successfully inaugurating and establish
ing this feature, Gen. Becker. nominallv
a Democrat, has been the willing and ahIa
instrument. 1t is found by Gov, LIMBS
investigation that brothers. sisters, neph-
ews, nieces, brothers-in-law and AL
most all personal relations are to be found
in the best paying positions. In the case
of Commissioner Becker, between S. OO0
and $1,000 represent the amount of paw
drawn each year by the Becker family
and if some are not shown to have been
on the rolls for years without doing n
stroke of labor for the state then a full
investigation will not entirely sustain
what has been so far obtained in the
casual examinations to date.
1t is believed that few of the Renub
lican state politicians are to be found
who have not used the department to
reward personal henchmen, the most
marked instance being that of Congress

PRESIDENTS OUTING.
Health of Mrs. Mckinley Is Improve
ing Rapidly.

PLATTSBURGH, Aug. 3.-Mrs. McKin-
Iey's health is improving rapidly. Today
she went driving twice, the president
holding the reins both times Their route
today was up the Saranac valley, and
Mrs. Mckinley returned from the drive
very much refreshed.
The deer hunting season will open one
week from next Tuesday, and President
Mckinley will have an opportunity of en-
joying the sport, as some of the finest
hunting grounds in the Adirondacks are
within a few hours journey. The deer
are so numerous this year that they are
coming out of the woods into the clear
ings and causing much damage to the
crops of farmers.
The president today had a call from Dr.
A. D. Richardson, of West Chazy, an old
farmer, 70 years of age, who walked all
the way from his home to the hotel, Il
distance of fifteen miles, to shake
hands with the president of the United
States" Mr.. Mckinley greeted him
warmly and talked with him several
minutes.
Among the others who called on the
president today were Mr.. and Mrs. w S.
Carroll and Miss Carroll, of Washington:
Mr. E. L. Holloway, Mr.. ]. o. Holloway
and Miss Holloway, of Baltimore, and
Gov. E. c.. Smith, of ST. Adams, VT, who
came over on a steam yacht.

That elevated and elevating municipal
organization known as the Lincoln club
will soon hold its election of officers. 1t
has recently adopted constitution. The
object of the club, it is almost unneces-
sary to state, is that of municipal reform.
1t has made contributions from time to
time to the science Of municipal govern
ment through the addresses of great
statesmen like F. &. Doran and ]. S.
Reichert, such as place it high up in the
ranks of reform organizations.
Were it not that the energies of it's
leading members are so actively engaged
in. securing for the municipality the val
liable services in official life of themselves
and their friends, there are many of the
problems now disturbing the taXpaying
public for the solution of which We could
look to the Lincoln club.
We might learn, for instance, whether
that distinguished Republican statesman,
sandel, repeated his alleged offer of a
$500 bride to the mayor for a reappoint-
ment, or whether his vote for Claussen
was cast merely in consideration of such
promise; and whether. il it were, either
of the officials concerned is morally fitted
to hold any public station whatever. An
other of the problems which we could eX-
pect the Lincoln club 10 solve for US is
whether the existing deal between Seng
and johnson, whereby the latter refuses
+l,o
former, is in its nature a corrupt trans
action, and whether, as d result, both Of
these politicians should not be removed
from office And still another problem
Is whether our Republican county attor-
ney, having failed recently in his prose-
rution of two of his fellow Republican
county officials who had been indicted,
Is justified by that circumstance of it
self in ignoring the state of things
which now exists in the relations of the
mayors office and the board of public
works and between the county auditor
and county assessor. Still another ques-
ton which this valuable municipal organ
ization might, if conditions were favor
able give its attention 10 is whether, in
view of the county attorneys inaction in
these respects, he is TO be regarded as
acting in the interest of the title insur-
nnce companies or of the public in threat
ening to prosecute the head of the county
abstract office.
There are a number Of moral, aesthetic
and political questions such as these
which the Lincoln club should take under
consideration when the official engage
ments of its leading members allow it to
do so. The new constitution about to be
adopted gives the needed opportunity to
the statesman of the club to take such
matters involving the local welfare I'M
der public consideration. Having the
civic welfare of the city of ST. Paul as
the great motive of its existence, the Lin
coin club must be regarded as doing less
than its entire duty TO the community in
allowing such important questions as
these to remain uncOnsidered
