MORE NEPOTISM.
Husband and Wife Drawing $4,000.
Evans Family Takes DOwn$IOOO.

Maj. NJ. b. c. Wright is a gallant eX-
veteran of the civil war. lie draws a
well-earned pension for having stood up
to be shot at, and The Globe would
double il if it could. But the major has
salary Of Sl,8OO per annum, and his
wife draws down Sl,400 i'm the Postotlice
If there is any class OF officials in the
government service entitled TO all they
can get, that class is the Union veterans
who helped to save the government, and
by doing so made il possible for the large
army of non-combatants now holding
down nice fat jobs to live in peace and
luxury. Nevertheless, The Globe must
admit that in view OF the fact that there
are only husband and wife in the Wright
family and no children or dependent
relatives, one salary, that of the major
himself, added to his pension, is a fair
apportionment, especially in view Of the
additional fact that we know numbers
Of gallant comrades struggling for sub
sistence, without pension or government
Job.
A year or two ago an investigation de-
yeloped the fact that Disburslng Clerk
Evans of the Interior Department has
on the pay rolls of the government a
numerous army of relatives who take
down 81, 200 annually by way of compen-
sation for their valuable and patriotic
services as clerks, employees, etc. The
Sunday Globe now rises to question of
privilege, and respectfully propounds
this query to the head of the Interior
Department: "How many of the Evans
family have been cut Off and how much
has the annual sum drawn 10y that in
teresting and grand old Cymrian family
been reduced?" We can not now pause
for reply, but the Secretary is admon-
ished that in odd hours, when resting
from the fatigue of writing liable" lead
ers, we are studying the blue book and
making notes for future reference. When
the list is ready for publication il will
not only astonish the residents of the
Capital of the Nation, but it will create
indignation throughout the entire coun-
try. Thousands of parasites are fastened
on the government claiming residences
i'm States they never saw or visited, yet
they are credited as representatives OF
those States, and they thus deprive the
voting yeomanary of the said States and
Territories from proper representation
in the public service and their just ap-
portionment of the offices, All this
will be made manifest, hence the neces-
sity for the Secretary of the Interior to
revise his rolls and scrape off some of
the ants. OF course, this advice is gem
eral to the heads of other department Is.
The Globes bump of reverence never
having fully developed, it plays no fav-
orites, nor is it at all abashed, timid, or
hesitating when the opportunity pre-
sents itself to tackle politicians, whether
they are in office as the heads OF de-
partments or scheming to get there, pro-
vided their public acts call for criticism.
There is no man above criticism from
The Globes point OF view, not even
Mark Hanna or his proteges, the heads
OF the several departments known as
William the First's Cabinet.

uP eo CHINA,s CUsTOMs

It is semi-officially asserted at Ber-
lin that the resolution by the ministers
Of the Powers in Pekin not to reduce
the China indemnity below 1887 ,O0O,-
900 is final. and also that China accepts
this. thus making approximate reim-
buTsement Of the expeditionary ex-
penses Of the Powers certain.
The Berlin comic paper Ulk shows
Count Won Waldersee ready TO depart
from China standing before three
empty trunks, labeled Victories, "ac-
quisitions" and "indemniues". and
asking, rs it worth while taking them
again?

voted millions of dollars for the dredg-
ing and improvement of their harbors,
but it has been their rule to entrust
the expenditure Of their appropriations
ITO the government engineers in charge
Of Federal work at those points. The
money has been wisely and economi-
cally disbursed and both cities have
excellent harbors. On the other hand,
the city of Philadelphia, on the plan
now proposed by Mayor Ashbridge, has
spent it's own money, although neces-
sarily government engineers made the
surveys If we are to have the best
results we should join with the Federal
government, and not branch outon our
own hook. Nothing would help so
much to secure more generous treat
ment at the hands Of Congress as our
willingness TO pay part OF the cost of
improving waterways TO the city

MILL CREEK HUNDRED Lad
DISAPPEARS FROM HOME

Sherman Collins. the 15-year-old
son of Lewis Collins, of Union post
office, Mill Creek hundred, left home
on Thursday afternoon of this week,
without giving his parents any inti-
nation of his intentions. To a neigh
Dor he met, he said that he was going
to Florida, and proceeded on his way
toward Newark. He left his best suit
at home, and is supposed to have
only a few dollars in his possession.
There was no reason for his leaving
home, and it is supposed that boyish
idea of adventure has led him
away, as he had little money, and is
not supposed to have gone to visit
friends or relatives, and has never
been far from home. His parents at
first could not believe that he had left
home for any considerable time, and
looked for his return at any time.
They are much distressed by his alb
sence. Any information regarding his
whereabouts will be thankfully re-
ceived. He is about five feet siA
inches in height, wears gold spectacles
had on a straw hat with narrow rim
russet shoes, and was dressed in. a suit
of one color at the time he left home

..IT CAN,T BE PossIRLEw

One OF the most powerful and uncom-
promising administration organs in
the East is the New York Press. 1t
deals with j. Edward Addicks in this
manner editorially:
In Frank Leslies Popular Monthly

Addicks. the man who for more than
ten years has been raiding the Repub-
hcanism of Delaware in the hope OF
making himself senator from that
State. Doubtless the reason for The
publication Of an article on Addicks at
this time is the general understanding
that, to assist the gasman in his at
tempted grasp OF a senatOrship from
little Delaware, The president has de-
cided to bestOw upon him. for distribu-
tion where 10 will do him the most

for, the reason that the president might
have been, and probably was, deceived
about Rodenberg, a comparatively OBJ
scure man, hitherto unnoticed in ma
tiOnal affairs But the president coulC
not be deceived about Addicks. Every

The very idea that President Mckinley

STAIRS EXTREME VIEWS

Even bright and brainy men like
Professor Frederick Starr. the noted
anthrcpolOgist Of the Uniyersityof Chi
cago. sometimes permit their preju
dices to run away with their judg-
ment and make themselves ridiculous
for the time being In a lecture, in
which Professor Staw warned his stu
dents against latter day fads, such as
parting the hair in the middle, tattoo
ing their persons and wearing shirt
waists, he said:
Parting the hair In the middle the
new shirt waist for men and tattooing
the person are evidencesof the alarming
and growing degeneracy of our modern
civilization. No normal person will in
dulge in any Of these habits. These
things are not criminal in themselves,
but II a person parts his hair in the
middle, tattoos his body, or wears one
of those new shirt waists Il is pretty
good evidence that there is a degener-
ate streak in his nature"
Parting the hair in the middle is not
a new thing. Rather, 1t is an old thing
revived, as the portraits OF many of the
most distinguished men the world ever
has produced will show. The shirt
waist Is dictated by comfort and merely
represents a change in the style of
dress, such as has been going on con-
stantly since the fig-leaf first was util-
lied in the Garden of Eden.
Many men prominent in professional
and business circles part their hair in
the middle and wear the shirt waist, or
something nearly akin to it, in Sum
mer, and this detracts in no manner
from their mental ability.
TaUooing is rare among landsmen
but seamen affect 1t. for practical rea-
sons principally, and not because they
are degenerates. From time immemor-
ial the tattoo on the body of a sailor
has served as a mark for Identification
in case of drowning or other accident
and in thousands Of instances 1t has
served this useful purpose. The inl
from the needles does not work III
way into the gray matter. and in NJ
sense affects the mental processes o.
men whose skin Is decorated
or dishgured. in that manner
The sailor is, as rule, {
matter-of-fact, hard-headed fellow
who takes little stock in fads and only
follows the established customs OF hi
calling.
