1t is announced in an Associated ress
dispatch dated Denver that President
Roosevelt has issued an order directing
federal officeholders to withdraw from
all positions which they occupy in po-
litical organizations at the risk, on re-
fusal,- of having their several offices
declared vacant
Such an order as this, strictly enforced.

is not to be found in the entire country
today "a Republican official of the federal
government possessing influence in IS
locality who does not feel himself at lib
erty TO take part more or less actively,
in the political movements in his vicinity
on behalf of the administration of which
he is a part. From time to time, no mat
ter how insistent the successive presi-
dents may have been in the profession
of attachment to civil service, changes
have been wrought in the civil service
regulations, especially around elecuon
times, designed to help the adn.ilistra-
tion. These practices eliminated in 1882
in the entire force of federal officials in
the South being marshaled for the re-
nomination and reelection of the then
president, Gen Harrison.
Civil service has been fraud in opera
tion in its bearing on the conduct of ma
tional officials in election contests. Win
an Il few days a former speaker of the
Minnesota house of representatives, Mr.
Bowling, was quoted in the public press
as intimating that he would nave the
support of many, if not all, of the post
masters of his district in his candidacy
for a congressional nomination.
1t is true that a sense of personal and
official propriety restraints many federal
officials from the more offensive express
sions of their political partsanship; but

TINT PHILIPPINE THRIFT.

That very sdroit document, the presi-
dents message, did not take account of
Mr.. Justice Brown. Nor did its author.
But Mr.. Justice Brown is none the less a
mighty mana sort of supreme court of
the United States all to himself, whose
licta in the insular cases has been more
potent than that of any of the despots
of old in producing results fraught with
tremendous significance to those affected
by them.
Had President Roosevelt reckened with
Mr. Justice Brown he would have said
something on the great and overpowering
subject of tariff legislation besides his
harmless words on reciprocity. But he
did not, and it is not i'll for him that he
did not. It would have evidently been
quite embarrassing to that prudent poll
tician if he were compelled to touch on
the subject; and touch upon it he would be
compelled to do had he had official cog
nizance of that decision before his mes
sage was promulgated.

Hansbrough wants to Irrigate.

Senator Hansbrough has reintroduced
his Irrigation bill. The East, of course,
is opposed to any bill which appropriate5
money for irrigation, although always
willing to vote concessions to its own
favored industries and projects The
presidents message favors irrigation and
government aid therefor, and if the
West will stand together in congress
there is no reason why a beginning
should not be made upon the work Of
government irrigation. There are mil
lions of acres in the West to be made
arabic and fertile with proper irrigation.
1t is entirely proper that the government
should aid in this work. The increased
production of crops, payment of trans
portation charges, establishment of broad
acres for new settlers and homes for
some of the toiling millions of the East
would more than repay the outlay.-Bis-

KNOWS All About banks.

There is a concerted move now on foot
among the financial big bugs of this
country to secure through national legis-
lation the chartering of great central
bank, which is to take over the public
treasury functions of the government,
issue all the paper money, and act as
financial agent of the government A
concerted effort has-been made during
the past two or three years, to prepare
public sentiment in this direction, or at
least to allay opposition to the plans.
we hope the day will never come when
our lawmakers will surrender this most
important prerogatiye of government the
issuing of money, to a syndicate oil
private millionaires, to be by them
manipulated to their own financial benefit
and against the interests of the people in
general 1t will be sorry day when
this is done.--Litchfield Independent.

At its last meeting of the year the
members of the city consolidation COM
mittee Of the ST. Paul Commercial club
took pains to bestow a special vote of
thanks on Mr. John Caulfeld, it's chair
man, for the zeal and activity he had
shown, in the discharge of the work of
the committee.
From a body composed of many of the
ablest, most public spirited and Jealous
citizens of St. Paul such a courtesy might
well be regarded as an honor by any
man. TO have deserved it, he must sure
ly have shown exceptional qualities.
The consolidation committee has been
active in many ways since its organiza-
ton fer the city's betterment 1t has
done excellent work, and its members
have not saved either time or labor IN
promoting the several laudable purposes
in connection with the city's welfare to
which they have addressed themselves.
The honor thus bestowed on Mr.. eaul-
field was well-merited He is almost uni
yersally recognized among our people as
a painstalking and conscientious man.
filled to the very brim Of his nature with
personal energy, and ready To ex-
ercise his faculties in every direction
for the general good. He is unpreten-
tious and retiring in his disposition.
Men of his stamp usually go their way
without any special thought being be-
slowed upon their superior devotion by
those around them. Their very superiority
is regarded as entirely a matter of
course
AS city official Mr. caul6eld is almost
ideal. No public department could be
better administered than our water de-
partment. Its secretary's connection
with it runs back to the time when he
was a stripping. He has grown up WITH
the service, and its efficiency is in great
est measure due to his exhaustive knowl-
edge of it's details and to his excellence
as an administrative officer.
The G. o be cordially unites in avow-
ing the general sense which prevails of
the splendid services to the city of his
birth rendered by Mr.. Caulfeld both as a
man and a public official
1t is said that the pope is not disposed
to take any notice of the coronation of

VIII MAKE NO nIFrERENCE.

1t is announced, evidently on the in
spiration of the navy department clique,
that the court of inquiry will decide that
Admiral Schley should be censured for
his conduct in many directions during
the Santiago campaign. He will be cen
sured, we are assured, for his prolonged
stay at Cienfuegos; for his acting in
violation of orders in making his So
called retrograde movement toward Key
West; for his failure to sink the Colon;
for prevarieation in the statement of his
reasons for making the retrograde move
ment, and for other delinquencies.
There is nothing impossible in this
world; and, therefore, it is even possible
that the court win hold schley to be a
coward and caitiff, as the departmental
prodigy Maclay designated him. But
it will not matter very much either as
to the ultimate result on the popular
conception of Sehley, or as to his place
in history He is the true hero of the
great engagement, and his fame will live
in American naval history as equal to
that of the grandest name in the galaxy
of heroism which that history reveals.
If the court of inquiry wishes to com
nit itself to the approval of the state
ments of a clique of disappointed and
baff1ed marplots, there Is no power on
earth can hinder it from doing so. But,
for the good name of Admiral Dewey
and his associates, it is to be hoped that
there will be no further aspersion cast
upon the good name of American sailors
than has already been wrought through
the attempted defamation and ruin OF
Schley
When the end has been reached there
will be little doubt left how the nation
esteems the services of the Maryland
sailor Indeed there win be, if possible,
even less doubt should the court of in
quiry present the remarkable report
which the administration toadies of the
department seem to have outlined for
that body.
