printing. Uncertainty as TO who
should hold the job was the bane
of this measure and ultimately
killed it. Senate bill 81 was of a
similar cast, except that it was
more elaborate and all-pervading
in its scope. 1t created state
examiner who would have con-
stituted the most effective politi-
cal agent imaginable. His duty
would be to examine into the ac-
counts of all county officers and
report to the governor, and he
was to hold Office for four years.
This would give the functionary
ample time in which to damn ev-
cry Republican county officer in
the state. Senator Church Of
Bannock county, a Republican,
was inveigled into lending his
name to this monstrous bill on
some sort of understanding. 1t is
said, he was to get support for
his normal school bill in return.
The combined Republican and
Populist Senators finally succeed
ed in killing it, much to the dis
com6ture and chagrin of the adj
ministration. Of course, the bill
carried lots of printing with it,
for the truly good.
A militia bill which was a YER
table Jim Dandy was also con-
cocted and sought to be enacted.
1t proposed to erect a military es-
Enlistment as elaborate as old
Darius establishment when he
went forth to meet Alexander.
There were officers of every pos
sible degree of rank and orna-
mentation and behind it all lib
eral appropriation. The bill can
only be thoroughly enjoyed when
examined in all its magnificent
detail for which space is here
lacking. 1t was killed and there
were sounds of lamentation in the
southwest corner of the capitol.

giant measure which provided for
an imported conductor" Of coun-
ty institutes and other useless
trappings. It also provided a
salary Of $500 year, which
was the main thing, and the us
ual liberal printing annex. This
promising measure expired at the
hands of Populist Senator Easton
who is now under the ban of the
reform forces. Then there was
an attempt made to give some
faithful reformer a job at SIS a
day examining the books of the
superintendent of public instruc-
ton; and another patriotic states
man introduced a bill providing
for a special deputy state auditor
at $500 year, $3.50 travelling
expenses, Office and stationery
and plenty of printing. The
death of these beautiful creations
spread dependency over the face
of the administration, and the de-
mise of a little pet bill creating a
special insane asylum board broke
the governor all up. 1t was on
ly a matter of a little picnic or
two but it was a nice thing to
have. But the death of those
pets did not Danish joy. Along
came the code commission and it
was made much of. The original
bill provided for only three COM
missioners, but that was clearly
inadequate, seeing that the legis-
lature had been so measly in the
matter of providing jobs and the
demand for jobs was so brisk.
So the code commission was aug
mented to five members, all excep-
tionably qualified as drawers of
salaries and all save one worthy
laborers in the vinyard. 1t is
needless to dwell on this measure
which is now law but may turn
out to be as defective in itself as
deplorable in results if duly car
ried out according to program.

The bill creating the commission
originated in the senate and car
ries an appropriation of $I3,5oo.
There is some question as to the
validity of the proceeding. The
constitution would seem to con-
template that all bills making APP
preparations shall originate in the
house. But in any event all the
conditions surrounding the meas
IRE are disreputable and the end
of it will probably be a large ex-
penditure of public money to a
worse than useless purpose.

1t is rather unexpected to hear
Idaho newspapers expressing sur
prise that Gov. Steunenberg ve-
toed the bill to prevent the place
ing of a name in more than one
place on ballot. Certainly no
other action could have been ex-
pected. Steunenberg has been
twice elected governor by having
his name Two or more times on
the ballot and it certainly is no
secret that he still expects to
bring about his own election to
the United States senate through
a fusion that can only be made
effective by having names Of cam
didates at least twice on the ball
lot. There seems to be a very
general idea that Governor Steu-.
nenberg intends to have his little
shy at the senatorial toga two
years hence, when a successor to
Senator Shoup will be elected.
We feel satisfied that he is pledg-
ed to former Senator Dubois for
/
that occasion and some Of the
most far-seeing politicians Of the
state think that he may then
stand aside to give Dubois a
chance, if Dubois is in the race
at all. AT the same time, they
admit that Steunenberg seems to
be shaping things so that neither
Dubois or any one else viii then
stand in his way. We always
believed that two years ago, thel {
was a tacit understanding that
Dubois was to have, at least
Steunenberg's moral support in
his candidacy for recollection. II
there was, land we were inform-
ed that it was more, a direct
promise) Steunenberg broke the
faith completely. When the time
came that his passive support
would have reelected Dubois to
the senate, Mr.. Dubois found that
he had his active opposition to
contend with. That Governor
Steunenherg Is now shaping
things with a view to strengthens
ing the hand of Steunenberg will
scarcely be questioned and that,
when he holds all the trump
cards, he will play them in any
body's interest except his own,
will hardly be credited. That
Idaho Democrats will ever dc
anything for Mr.. Dubois, except
TO use him for their own profit.
will certainly never be believed
by any one, unless it should be
by Mr.. Dubois himself.--Poca.

rsrrcIAL ooRREgroNpENcE. ]

A careful review of the work
of the late legislature seems to
disclose the fact that never before
in the States history, or the terri
tory's for that matter, was the
struggle for the creation of new
offices so furious. II is perfectly
clear that the possibilities of new
places had all been canVassed
long before the legislature
met and to a great ex-
tent before the election and in
many cases the men for the Off
ces had already been selected
and promised. But setting that
aside, let us inquire into what the
legislature attempted and what it
actually accomplished in the way
of providing jobs
House bill No. 243, designed
to establish state board of
pharmacy to consist of S mem
bers and salaried secretary.
The other members were to get
only expense allowance which
they were authorized to collect
from any new druggist who might
venture to open business in the
state. This bill was rather a
weakling from the start and ex-
pired early in the fray. 1t was
probably one of the things DOOM
ed to be sacrificed for appearance
sake. Another bill of the same
tenor was the so-called medical
bill. This wholesome measure
provides for a board Of medical
examiners, consisting of 6, who
are to hold numerous meetings,
have their expenses paid, station
cry and postage stamps furnished
and IS day for the time actual
ly consumed in discharging their
official functions. TO raise the
"wind"' for compromising them
selves, the examiners are author
lied to collect S. a head from old
practitioners, known technically
as 87ers, and $25 head from all
new corners. Liberal provisions
are made for reform job presses
and incidentals. This wholesome
bill was successful and will short
ly take on the authority of stat
ute law.
Of course it would not do to
overlook the dentists and so their
little bill was prepared and duly
passed. The tooth carpenters
now have board of examiners
authorized to grant licenses, let
tiers of marque, ETC., at from So
to $25 per head. Any alleged
dentist engaged in tooth pulling
without paying the requisite fee
and getting a permit is liable to
fine for the benefit of the public
schools. The dental board of
course, the same as all others, is
appointed by the governor and
must report to him unanimously
and regularly. 1t is of prime i'm
portance that the governor should
know just how the dentists of the
State are getting along and it is
OF primer importance that there
should be no dearth of printing
for the pure in heart.
1t seems as though the COVER
nor was real afraid that the legis-
ture would not have time enough
to create all the boards and e&-
sminers and commissioners he
Nd 10 have. So he started

sion on his own account. 1t was
called the unofficial commission
but that did not hurt it. The
legislature supplied any real or
supposed lack of authority and
paid each of the commissioners
$500. There were 3 of them,
two to locate the MANNED ane de-
fective work Of the legislature of
two years ago, the other, Averitt,
TO prepare the way for the rcgu-
lar code commission. If you
would like to know Averitt did to
earn $500 just speak to Henry z.
Johnson, the other Democratic
member Of the commission about
it.
Along about the time the SEES
sion was four weeks gone, the
real business Of creating offices
took on a wonderful activity.
The administration had had an
opportunity to become acquainted
with members of the distinctively
reform brand and had sounded
them to the bottom. He found
that they nearly all would delight
in nothing quite SO much as Gre
ating offices, provided there was
MT to be any mistakes in the
matter of appointments. In the
house bill was introduced for
the creation of 3 mine inspectors,
every galoot of them was to have
$I2oo year for wages, $3.50 for
expenses and plenty of dough for
the printers. 1t was a daisy of a
bill, and one of the administra-
TONS pets, but there was a row
over who should be appointed,
and the bill was killed by its
friends who could not endure the
possibility of less patriotic men
than themselves holding down
such beautiful job.
Then came the boiler bill with
general inspector, major inspec-
tors, lieutenant inspectors, cap
tains, sergeants, corporals, pri-
Yates and nom commissioned Off
GERS. This army of steam boiler
inspectors were to have pay
varying from $500 month to S.
day, offices and stationery and
plenty of printing for the organs
of reform. This excellent meas
ure failed because it leaked out
that the offices had been prom
ised to 481 men and there would
MT be that many-offices, be-
cause it would make 7 inspectors
to every boiler which was con-
sidered redundant. 1t is a great
pity the boiler bill busted. 1t
was such a promising bill.
There was a little bill provid-
ing for a state reporter whose
duty it would be to correctly re-
port and prepare for publication
the decisions of the supreme
court. This was about the only
meritorious offce-creating bill in
troduced, but it had one fatal de-
feet. It provided that the SUI
preme court should appoint the
reporter. The governor had nc
stomach for that sort of thing,
He wanted to attend to all the
appointing business himself. Nat
urally, the supreme court would
want competent man and prob
ably that would call for Repub-
lican. In which event the ad-
ministration would be undone

FORTUNES SUCCESSOR.
Major I'll. l.. Grant Chosen for the
Cle' kship.

Raleigh Post.
Msjor Hiram L. Grant OF
Goldsboro-is to succeed Mr.. j.
B. Fortune as clerk of the U. S.
District Court in this city.
| AS was first announced in The
Post, J. B. Fortune, the present
clerk, has been requested to res
sigp, because his conduct of the
office was not satisfactory to
Judge Purnell.
1t was the original intention of
Judge Purnell to allow Clerk
Fortune to continue in office until
January 1, bat it is learned from
authoritative sources that the
change will be made soon and
that Mr.. Fortune will not be all
lowed to profit by the December
term of court, which is easily
worth 81, 900.
Major Grant was rendered the
position yesterday and the an
nouacement of his appointment
will be made in the next few
days. Major Grant arrived in the
city yesterday and agreed to ac-
cept the Office.
It has been the general belief
that George Green, the clerk of
the U. S. District Court of New
bern, would get the appointment.
Mr.. Greene was Judge Purnell's
first choice, but conditions since
then have worked in Major Grants
favor.
Major Hiram L. Grant, the
new clerk, is prominent Repub-
lican in the State. At present he
is the Republican nominee for
sergeant-at-arms of the United
States Senate. While this nomin-
alton was given him while the
Democrats were~in control of the
Senate, it IS the opinion of Sena-
tor Pritchard and his friends that
the party will stand by the nom-
nation now that they have con-
troll of The Senate. In accepting
the district cIerkship he will not
waive his claim to the nomination
of sergeant-at-arms and should he
be elected he will accept that po-
sition. Major Grant has served as
pay master with rank of major in
the regular army for more than a
year. Only recently was he re-
tired.
Republicans here declined yes
terday to speak of Major Grants
appointment to the clerkship.

Partridges Plentiful - Where

Especial Dispatch to tie BALTIC. Sun.
Raleigh, N. G. Oct. 24.-The
shooting season in this State will
begin November l. It is safe to
say that not in many years have
there been more patridges. 1t
was feared by many persons that
the extreme cold weather and
the deep snow last February
would destroy them. The birds
are in all that part of the State
east OF the Blue Ridge and ex>
tending to the tier Of counties
bordering the sounds. From
Danville to Greensboro, thence
as far west as Morganton and
eastward to Goldsboro there are
birds in abundance. Granville
County offers good sport, and so
does Person.
The Legislature, at its last
session. enacted a law for a num-
Der of counties, requiring hunts
ars to have the written permis~
sion of landowners when hunting
on the latters' lands. This vas
aimed at spot hunters. In parts
of the State, mainly in the High
Point and Hickory sections,
Northern sportsmen, to very
large extent, pay the taxes on the
lands and have all the privileges.
East Of Guilford County this is
not done. The large landowners
make things particularly pleasant
for sportsmen.
Sportsmen from the Baltimore
section will fnd good shooting IN
Randolph county. 1t is evident
that the plan of securing hunting
rights by paying the comparative
ly trifling taxes on lands will be
widely extended.

Il am glad to say that the feel
ing of Cubans towards Amers
leans, whether the military re-
presentatives Of the government
or others, has greatly improved
during recent. months. The su-
spicion and distrust with which
perhaps a1arge number regarded
Americans for so long after the
military occupation was estabs
lished, has given way in a great
measure to confidence and cor
diality. They ara convinced now,
I think, that our purposes are
honest and friendly and limited
to the organization and develop
meut which are essential pre-
cursors of the establishment of {
staple native government. Along
with this conviction now goes {
perception of that fact that thes'
preliminaries are not to be &C
complished so easily and so sool
as seemed to them at. first.
"The organizing of civil gov
ernment is proceeding prosper
ously throughout the cities an

final preparations for the ful
assumption of authority by tn
Cubans will be the election of
