SOFT SNAPS ABOLISHED.
English Press Has Exposed Sinecures
Worth Over a Million.


Less than 100 years ago the whole
machinery of government in England
was SO tainted with corruption that
well-paid posts with no duties at
tached to them were to be found in all
the great departments Of state; but a
press eagerto point out all abuses par
taking of the character Of jobs has
very much purified our public life,
says Pearson's Magazine.
Among offices abolished not so long
ago may be cited the claw clerk in the
secretary of states Office" who for
duties now discharged by the attorney
and solicitor general, was paid $4,000
year.
The attention of some lynx-eyed
journalist having been drawn to such
posts as ''housekeeper in excise"
"warehouse keeper to the stamp Of
fce," and constable Of the castle Of
Limerick" an inquiry was made, and
it being found that the holders passed
their time in reading the daily papers,
lunching and writing private letters
while waiting for work which never
came, they were reiegated to private
life.
A few years ago the Times turned
its searchlight on the "clerk of the
pells," greatly to the discontinue Of
that estimable gentleman, who was
heard of no more.
AS things go in these days, people
with $4,000 a year should be able to
make both ends meet, The last gen.
tleman who filled the Office of pay
master and inspector Of the royal ma
rine forces had the misfortune to be
afflicted with such expensive tastes
that when his accounts came to be
overhauled by Sir Charles Dixie it was
found that they were deficient by no
less a sum than 81 ,322, 535. The navy
board resisted, but the office was sup
pressed
The cleansing Of the national state
has also led to the disappearance of
four tellers of the exchequer, who
paid their deputies $4,000 year to
perform duties for which they each
received $13,500 year.
1t was the humble sum Of z pence
that led to the abolition of the office
of the courts in Barbados, The at
tention Of some financial reformers
was attracted by an item of e71O Os
I'd, and finding that the holder did not
even earn the odd seven pence, fought
the vote in committee and won.
Before the queen came to the
throne a committee of slnecures re-
ported that there were 240 sinecures
throughout the empire. and that the
cost OF them was nearly 3. 300 900.

ton devoutly to be wished by Colonel
Burns. Every hour adds strength to
the belief that the coloneIs campaign
can make no further progress in the
bright light of day, and therefore the
influences of a dark caucus are needed
TO give 1t headway.
He has tried bIufing. boasting and
persuasion Of the smoOthest sort. but
there is such an open and widespread

colonel, by stealth, might get the ad-
vantage Of other candidates and OBJ
tain the caucus nomination. The paper
calling a caucus has not yet been
passed around for signatures.
The colonel has been sounding all
the depths and shadows of the Legis-
lature to ascertain If the caucus boat
could be navigated, but he is not salts
fed that the trip can be successfully
accomplished. In the Burns camp the
feeling exists that a caucus could be
had if the Grant forces could be dis
integrated.
The Bulla men are confident that the
breaking Of the Grant camp would not
give Burns a sufficient number of votes
to insure the success of caucus
scheme.

Special Dispatch to Tn. Gail.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 2S.-For four
days Mrs. Augusta Young, the pretty
wife of the alleged incendiary Of IT.
buron. who Jumped" his bail and fed
the country to avoid trial has stood up
bravely and thrown down the gauntlet
to all her enemies. Though i'll, she
has utterly refused TO see a physician
or take any medicine.
To-day the collapse came. The ex-
cited condition of the fair prisoners s
mind and her overwrought nerves,
taken in conjunction with her refusal
to eat a proper amount of food, proved
too great a strain for her frail consti-
tuition. Sheriff Taylor entered the cell
to find Mrs. Young in a high fever.
Dropping her mantle Of reserve, she
demanded that g. physician be immedi-
ately summoned. DR.. W. F. Jones was
sent for and pronounced the patient to
be in a serious condition. He pre-
scribed for her and returned later in
the evening to See how she was pro-
crossing. Nobody but the officials and
the physician are now permitted to en-
ter the cell.
Mrs Young has admitted to Sheriff
Taylor and District Attorney McIsaac
that when she came to San Rafael last
Monday she was unaware that her hus-
band had deserted her. This entirely
destroys the martyr" theory of yellow
journalism. She has also unwittingly
corroborated a strong point in the evil
dence of an important witness. If her
physical condition does not improve
soon it may never be necessary to try
her
