STAYS WITH F|REMEN
Frank Sargent Had Several Rea-
sons for Declining Govern
ment Appointment.
THE SALARY Is NOT ATTRACTIVE
Washington Position Pays $500
Less Than the Railroad
Brotherhood.

The expected happened at Wash
ington this week when Frank Z. Sar-
gent, of Peoria, chief of the Brother
hood of Firemen. declined President
McKinley's offer of the position of
superintendent of the bureau of print
ing and engraving.
The reasons given for this are sim
pie enough. The salary is $500 less
than that which Chief Sargent now
enjoys. The duties are onerous, and
the expense of living in the national
capital is, of course, considera bly,
greater than the cost of living in
Peoria.
The position itself is no sinecure.
Mr.. Sargent was invited to take
charge of the bureau of printing and
engraving, and it should be compre-
hended to commence with that his
predecessors have scored monumental
failures because of their differences
with union labor. Claude NJ. John
ston, OF Kentucky. was superinten-
dent, and he had clash on the ques-
ton of apprentices. The unions
wanted one thing. the uperintendent
another. The superinte ndent pro-
posed to ignore the organizations,
and engaged as many boys to learn
the trade as he saw fit. The unions
would not be ignored, and they took
the case into congress.
Could Bring About Harmony.
The unions won out, ami Supt.
Johnston resigned. Chief Sargent, il
was believed, could take hold of the
bureau and manage it without fric-
| ton. All the bank notes, coin GER
tificates, bonds and other forms of
paper money and government securi-
ties are printed by the bureau. and of
late the postage stamps have also
been printed there. 1t is an import
ant adjunct of government. But the
salary of the superintendent is only
81, 500 per year. and Mr.. Sargent gets
So, 900 at present. While he is close
friend of the president, and also oil

cept the preferment, choosing rather
to remain with the firemen, VINO have

A POLITICAL CENTER

From the Washington Times.
 A well dressed and we'll hammered Hoosier, whose home is in the far-famed town of Muncie, strode through the cor riders of the capitol the other day and proudly proclaimed himself the only re- publican of that community who had never asked for an office. q have a right to feel puffed up over this" said he to a Times reporter "I am not ashamed of any of my townsmen-not even Neely-but, then, I as especially proud of my own unique dis tinction. You see, there are five or six hundred Muncieites stuck away in the gov ernment service, and three or four thou sand others who are on the waiting list The salaries paid annually to Muncie peo- pie by the government aggregate consid- erably more than million dollars. Don't think that this federal office craze struck our town only during the past three years. Why the great Tom Brady, who the postoff1ce department before Perry Heath scarcely was out of his swadding clothes, introduced the fashion of Muncie people getting into the government service. What! Never heard of Tom Brady? Why, sakes, sakes, alive, man. Didn't you ever hear of the star route business? These so-called frauds in Cuba dwndle into contemptible petty larceny in comparison with the star route frauds. Muncie was right in the swim then with both feetrs and she has managed to stay in pretty much eyer since. As matter of curiosity, I am going to try to get complete roster of Muncieites who are now drawing salaries from the gov ernment before I return home. I'll bet you the list is a long one. As I said at first, there are at least five or six hundred Muncie people on the payrolls of Uncle Sam"

RoCKEFELLER's VESSELS IDLE

Twenty idle whalebacks are lying in the harbor of Duluth. Rockefeller has given orders that these vessels are to tie up until they can be chartered for iron ore at $125. As fast as the boats arrive his orders are being carried out.
 Last winter when Rockefeller was en- gagged in fixing the contract rate at $1 25, tonnage, buying among other vessels the entire whaleback fleet of thirty vessels, and paying at the rate of S1.25 per ton for all the tonnage he chartered for iron ore. At the same time, he entered into an engage ment with Andrew Carnegie by which he was to carry 100000 tons of ore for him at going rates.
 Rockefeller got so much ore tonnage the ore traffic would not bear it, and when it sought other lines of trade the rates sunk, so that the wild rate is now $1. Thus Car negie is getting his ore hauled for 25 cents less than it costs Rockefeller to haul his own. So it is to Rockefeler's interest to force the rate up.
 If Rockefeller can control the rate in this instance it will be a new feature in the lake trade, and he can do it almost any time. He controls in the neighborhood of 9,0OO,0O0 tons carrying capacity, of which 5,O0O00O is his own. It is said that he has use in the trade for only about $500 900 tons, and when he sought to find places in the grain trade for the balance the result Was general reduction of rates

HANNA As HEAD
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 It strikes us that MT. Mark A. Hanna will make mistake if he supposes that it is necessary to his prestige to be made again the chairman of the national republican committee this year. MT. Hanna's reputa- tion for ability as campaign organizer and director is assured in any event. and it is about equally assured that he can have the official headship of the campaign if he desires it. No one will assume, if he does not have it, that he has been crowded off. All politicians will understand that he is stll the power to say what shall be- Whether MT. Hanna is or is not the nomi- nal chairman, the conduct of the campaign is likely to be in his hands. If victory for Mckinley promises to be easy, Hanna can afford to take a rest: if there shall be threats of it's being rendered doubtful, we shall expect to find him actively in evidence Hanna's great strength is in raising and applying funds, and since he demons tra ted his power in this respect so much in pro- curing the nomination and election of Me- Kinley in 1896, he has had confidence on his own side and fear on the other as no man has obtained it in his generation

War and Tariff Taxes.

Congress has adjourned without lessen- ing the burden of war taxation a par ticle, although the surplus of the fiscal year will be over $6O.OOo 900. Such surplus invites ship subsidies and other extrava- gant and reckless expenditures. The ship subsidy bill is by no means dead. It stands on the calendar with a favorable report be- hind it, and it will be pressed at the next session.
 If General Otis and President Mckinley tell the truth when they say the war in the Philippines is ended, there is no excuse whatever for another years continuance of war taxation. True, much of the revision should be extended to the tariff that has inflicted upon the country ravaging and de- moralizing trusts-trusts that put up prices

New York State Politics.

Tine New York democracy have endorsed William J. Bryan ,and declared in favor of any platform that the national conven- tion of the party may adopt. While they did not specifically re-afirm the Chicago platform they did say:
 We favor both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, the money of the constitution and of our fathers each te be maintained at parity with the other in purchasing and debt-paying power the democratic party since the days of Jeff ferson who declared that the monetary unit must stand on both metalsH
 No one knows how New York will vote this fall It is peculiarly a fop-oyer state The republican vote rose in 1896 to S19,S3S and sunk in 1897 to 493 791. The democratic vote that touched bottom in 1895 when it stood at 511,06O rose in 1898 to 643,921. In so mercurial state it is plain predictions become hazard ous, and untrustworthy. No one in fact
  The New York Press, an un1nching high-tariff paper. is very pessimistic. There has been," it says, "a tremendous slump in New York republicanism." We give it's own words:
 "It dhe slump did not set in until after the campaign of 1896. But since that time the work of party destruction has gone on with shocking swiftness. If we should lose the state this fall it will not be be- cause the democrats have gone back to their party, as they have. It will be-be- cause the republicans will not vote with theirs, as they have not done in three years.'
 The truth is, in the state that casts nearly a million and half votes. almost any result is possible; but the straws all go to show that the voters becoming weary of trusts and Neeeyism and colon- ialism and tariff and war taxes, and Will liam J.

 General Collins, who sails for Europe this week, not to return until after the national conventions, is still an ardent anti-expan- sionist and he expects to see the platforms reflecting the prevailing sentiments of the two parties this subject, notwithstanding the fact that there are not lacking promi- nent republicans who oppose expansion, just as there are prominent democrats who fa- vor it. "You see," says General Collins, it is not the anti-expansionists among the re- publicans nor the pro-expansionists among the democrats who are going to the conven- tions." That summarizes the situation on this issue.

and close mills at pleasure-trusts that are responsible to no one except Dictator Mark Hanna--but no revision of the tariff is pos sible while the republican party is in power. The war taxes are more vexatious than burdensome. Between tariff taxation and war taxation the country is burdened and vexed as it never has been before in times of peace. The record is broken by the re- publican party.
 The responsibility for this condition of affairs rests in full upon the republican party. It held and holds control of every branch of the government-executive, leg islative and judicial-and the people in No vember should everywhere express their opinion of the burUdensome, vexatious trusts-breeding taxation.
