SPEClAb
Dallas, Tex. Nov. l5.-The REPORT that the
National Civil Service Commissioner have
again taken up the charges against Colonel
p. b. Hunt, Collector of Internal Revenue
for the Northern District Of Texas, has ex-
cited much comment in Dallas to-day.
Nearly all the employees in the Federal
building have heard the report, and they are
displaying unusual ea6erness to learn the
facts. Colonel Hunt is out of the city.
The removal of Collector Dillon at FL
Paso upon the recommendation of the Civil
Service Commission has given strong color
ing to the reports about Colonel Hunt. That
the case has been reopened is generally be-
lieyed by those familiar with the situation.
Among the charges said to be nled against
C0Iector hunt Is one that he dismissed
many clerks when he first went into once
over three years ago. without resaid to
their ctviI-seryice status, and that he ap-
nointed friends and relatives TO vacant POI
sitious among the number one who was in
eligible To the service. There are other
Charges against Colonel Hunt.
on the original hearing, three years ago,
the Civil Service Commission ruled against
hin. bnt friends close to President Mckin-
lev saved him. Colonel Hunt and President
, MCKINLEY served in the same brigade dur
ing the war between the States.
There is much fear ana trembling in Re
publican Federal circles all over Texas. NO
nfficiai seems to know what President
Roosevelt and the Civil Service Commits
sion have in store for him.

Account of Drought.

Dallas. Tex. Nov. Ex-Governor Sayers
to-day received a letter from F. W. Sea-
bury, member of the Legislature, in whose
district Zapate Couuty is situated.
The letter details a most depioraoie con-
dition of suffering in Zapate County, caused
by the brought. Mr.. Seabury declares that
the condition is worse than heretofore re-
ported, and says the people are starving,
and that unless immediate relief reaches
them nearly the entire population Of the
county will die of starvation.
There is no chance to raise any kin OF
crops in the district earlier than next May.
There is scarcely any kind of food on hand
and he appeals for outside aid.
Governor Sayers Immediately on receipt
of the letter. sent 500 to MIR. Seabury. Re
lief supplies will be sent into the county at
the earliest possible moment

TRUE Bill.

The Globe-Democrat says that the
School Fund was used ito pay State
debts not connected with the schools
That is true: and if that paper will
turn to the official records il will find
that the stock of the Bank of the State
OF Missouri, in which our school funds
were invested, was sold by the Repub-
lican administration in 1866 and the pro
ceeds of the School Fund used 10 pay
the public debt.
1t Will also find that this unlawful use
was not made good to the School Fund
until 1872, when the Liberal Republican
administration restored to the School
and Seminary Funds S1,004.410, which
had been wrongfully taken by the Re
publican party froll the children of this
State.

W DEFICIT.

In defending his vote in the General
Assembly on the issuance of the GER
tificate of Indebtedness TO the School
Fund in 1872, Ex-Governor ii. c. Brok-
never makes a confession that eryes to
elucidate the controversy. His record
as a State Senator and his present atti-
tude on the certificates of Indebtedness
have been one of the interesting de-
yelopments of the Globe-Democrats as
sault on the integrity of Missouri Of
fcials.
Says the former Lieutenant Governor:
The provision of the Constitution Of 1866 re-
lating to the investment Of the assets Of the
School Fund could have no bearing upon the
action Of the General Assembly OF lS72, Tor
the question before that body was not Of in
vesting assets-there was nothing TO invest
but Of discovering what assets ought to be In
that fund according 10 law, and acknoUledg-
ing the deficit when those assets failed to
materialize.
When the amount of this deficit
acknowledged by Governor Brokmeyer
was fixed at 100000 a corresponding
certificate Of Indebtedness was issued,
thus ASSURING the schools Il permanent
income from Il form OF DOIu tildL - HOH-
transferable and inconyertible. BY
ISSUING this certificate, the schools could
receive their share of money without
danger of loss. No possible chance was
left for the fund to be looted again.
The free acknowledgment that I'M
der Republican administrations the SUN
of 100000 had been Incorporated
and the sacred trust violated is worthy
of note. This deficit was created prior
to 1872, and when the Republicans had
absolute control of Missouri in every
department This sun of money was
used contrary to constitutional prOvi-
sionsa and is rightly termed "A deficit
Here is an example of diversion Of
funds similar 10 hat which now con
| fronts Chicago. about which the Globe
has SO much TO say. Republicans are
the only ones credited with creating
| such a deficit in his State. Democrats
have never had TO over such a deficit
except TO save Missouri from the evil
! effects Of Republican misrule between
1865 and 1879.

entries are out of balance by millions OF
dollars"

,in KERENS,S NEW ROLE.

If any further proof of the deposition
Of National Committeeman Kerens from
control of Federal patronage in Missouri
were wanted the circulation of petitions
among negro Republicans asking that
collector of the Port Smith and Internal
Revenue Collector Grenner be reap
pointed is to the point.
According to report, the few faithful
negroes who are hoping against the
worst are most diligent in certifying
that these two officials are "conscien-
tiuus, faithful men who command the
respect of the negro race because OF
their public and private acts"
Six months ago Mr.. Kerens could tell
the Ohio clique what he wanted in the
way Of appointments without accom-
panying the request with recommends
lions from negro place hunters. The
preparation and distribution of such
petitions was no part of his labors when
Messrs. Smith and Grenuer We're first
named.
Does not the circulation of these petit
lions defeat the purposes for which they
were written? Negroes Of true sporting
instincts will hardly care to declare
themselves in favor of a boss whose
fate has been determined by the Atkins
Joy-Bartholdt-Globe combination. To
get signatures Mr.. kerens must direct
his lieGtenants to the headquarters of
the State Committee, which seems to be
the destination of most negro Republic
ans.
Mr.. kcrens asking for signatures to
petitions is a decidedly new role for
that statesman. His practical acknowl,
edgInent Of defeat IA hardly TO be
expected.

PERIL OF

If President Rooseyeltis r~eorganiZa-
ton of the Republican party in Missouri
is TO meet popular expectation based
on a confidence in the Presidents ear
est determination to secure capable and
honest public service there can be no
more compromises with the evil ele-
ments of the old Missouri gang of
spoilsmen and barnacIes.
Already, in enlisting supporters for his
Missouri policy, the President has made
certain surrenders of principle which
are likely to cost him dear in the end.
He has consented, the announcement is
made, to the retention in office of men
who fail to meet his own test of fitness.
He has lone this in effecting an or
ganization, the very purpose of which
is to purify the Missouri wing of his
party and 10 relegate such men to the
rear.
The influences TO which the President
mistakenly bowed in this instance were
hostile 10 him. They were allied with
that element in the Republican national
organization which fears and distrusts
him and is more than willing to dis
credit and defeat him and terminate
his political career in humiliation. They
had not hesitated to condemn him for
certain acts which were based on too
high a plane to meet their partisan ap-
prevail. They are still hostile to him.
They are apt to be a bit contemptuous
Of him, also, now that he has confessed
TO the fact of their formidableness by
compromising at a loss of principle on
his part.
The President has everything to lose
and nothing TO gain in making such
compromises. AS the people now under
stand his policy, that policy near in
evitably a fight with the spoils wing of
his own party. The fight must be I'M
yielding on his part. Wherever he
p.akes concessions - tas enemy, as in
