he announced that if Bryan is not elected

A LESSON FROM NEELYs HIS
TORY.

IFrom the Chicago Tjmes-HeraId.1
The history of Charles F. w. Nicely
contains a very instructive moral on
the subject of "coioniaiF appointments.
Up to the tins that the man was sent
to Cuba his career had been, such that
he was commonly regarded with dis
trust. People who did not question his
honesty classified him among the vis-
%ionaries. But whatever the construc-
ton that was put upon his promoting
antics. it is clear that he was not a per-
son of strict integrity. Such a person
cana3t be irresponsible in the whole
course of his business experience. can
not be utterly insensible to all financial
obligations and persistently lead others
into heavy losses at no risk to himself
with h intention of becoming rich out
of their capital Colonel Sellers is an
amusing character in fiction, but no
sane Imam would trust him in real life
or feel that he had any very clear ap-
probation Of the difference between
right and wrong.
In the actual if not in the idealized
character of the general promoter there
is always a suggestion. too, that the
passionate enthusiasm which is so much
in evidence is not entirely sincere, and
90 this complexion it had come with

Nicely when he was loaded onto the pub
lie service by IAN influential party lead
err" The Indiana politicians, it appears,
made sharp demand for important
positions when all was in readiness
for the establishment of a civil form Of
government in Cuba, and Neely's friend
was one of the most importunate. In
his demand for favors there was no
hint at the fitness of the applicant. He
simply advanced his own claims to
patronage and a share of the spoils as
a party worker. His protege's startling
u~nitness was plainly indicated in his
ultimatum to Rathbone, the director of
posts: Il want Nicely taken care Of.
He is up against it financially, is-clever,
and I want him placed" A fine recon-
mendation that for a chief of a bureau
of finance!
The terms ito take care or and ito
be taken care of" have become almost
technical, however, in such connections.
They are in the mouth of every beg
carly loafer who seeks a political sine
cure to avoid hard work and imply an
obligation which is recognized, if it is
not always fulfilled, by political traders.
Nicely went in simply on the strength
of his pull" in defiance not only of the
SPAAb VI lHC CAFA SCI VIC 4aNo - ~ 49,
prudent business considerations.
The results correspond to h previous
record of Neely's life and to the manner
of his appointment. And unless the rule
be made absolute that no such appoint
ments shall be countenanced in the fu-
ture this government can best protect
it's good name by Withdrawing from
the control of distant dependencies at
once. If there is need of Americans for
administrative positions they should be
taken from our own permanent civil
service, where they have learned the
duties of the various departments thor
oughly and established a reputation for
unquestionable integrity.
