How Record Clerk Smith Enjoys the
Presidents Grim Humor.

Mr. w. A. Smith, Record Clerk of the
House, should take census of his family
connections and quietly notify the public
how many relatives he has still left to pro-
vide for with soft berths at the public crib.
Mr.. Smith is a man of parts and influence
He comes in contact with men of influence
for he it is who publishes the speeches Of
statesmen and arranges for the printing and
delivery Of the thousands Of extra copies
they order. Hence anythiugin reason Mr.
Smith wants he commands He has been
taxeater for about thirty years and is used
TO It. He is now engaged in the very
questionable undertaking of inducting his
brothers-in-law into the same manner of
making a livelihood. Mr. Smith is a strik

CLERK GEORGE WALES
OF the Civil Service Commission Is
Asked Some Pertinent Questions.

Editor Sunday Globe
The GLOBE gave a pretty good shaking
up to the Presidential order of January 81
in its last issue, but omitted one vital
point. This order shows upon IT'S face that
it was conceived in an Outburst of boyish
passion and while it is wordy and intended
to be severely mandatory against something
or somebody, yet il has the strange Pc
culiaritY OF being noisy and empty at the
same time
Somebody said it was especially directed
at the Letter Carriers Association. Others
that il was intended to save lazy Congress
men and Senators from being importuned; ;
others, that it was aimed at the state asso
citation with a view Of breaking them up.
In fact, no two persons interpret it alike
Congressmen say that it destroys mans
right of petition. Others say the order be
id. If it is intended, as it specifies,
to forbid all officers and employees of every
description serving in or under any of
the executive departments from soliciting
mark the world, either directly or indi-
rectly an increase of pay (stop here), OF to
influence in their own interest any other
legislation what is meant by other egisla-
tion?), before Congress or its committees,
save through the heads Of the departments
under which they serve, on pain of dis
missal
The point at issue is, did or did not
George X. Wales, an 81, 500 clerk in the
Civil Service Commission, violate any part
OF this order when he directly OF indirectly
sought to increase his salary by enlisting
the services of Senator Proctor of Vermont
to see the President in his (Wales') behalf
for promotion to Civil Service Commits.
sioner1 A test should be made of this case
to determine the fact as to whether il would
not be better for us fellows in the depart.
ments to dissolve the political bonds which
have connected US with our state associa-
tiOns and in future like the still SOW, drink
the swill that comes OF paying no assess
ments-taking no part in politics, never
voting and keeping our gelt in our pockets
This class Of clerks get the plums and we
are just learning the trick. Enlighten us,
Mr. GLOBE, and we will be happy

The Rathbone- Neely outfit of Cdban
post-ofhce thieves are now doing time in
Havana for iooting the government under
the satrap Doctor General Wood They
were justly convicted by the Cuban tribunal
and sentenced TO pay in fines their stealings
and serve ten years as convicted felons in
prison. Never were sentences more lust
for never were crimes more wanton Each
man had generous salary and life posi-
tion, but not content with salaries neither
one OF the trio could earn an private life
they conspired ITO rob and did loot the
treasury of Cuba out Of tens OF thousands o {
dollars. Living like nabobs with carriages.
hunkies, coachmen and servants these COM
mon thieves not only robbed the people.
but disgraced the administration of Ameri-
can law in the island. Already efforts are
being made to secure the pardon of these
three official thugs and the President is to
be appealed 60 by their powerful political
friends. Mark Hanna and Perry Heath will
move heaven and earth for Rathbone
while the following dispatch from Muucie.
Ind, shows that Neely's friends are at
work.
Friends OF Charles F. W. Nicely, who
have been in touch with him since his in
car ceraton, say that while he supposed he
would be acquitted or let off with light
penalty, he had figured on being dealt
with severely and had outlined a course of
action to be pursued in case the courts de-
cision should be unfavorable.
Just what this action will be. of course
has not been disclosed, but it is known that
IT consists mainly of an appeal to the Fed
eral Government, which will be called upon
to ask the government of Cuba to modify
the severity of the Muncie mans sentence
1t is felt that if the United States Govern
ment could be induced to make request
of this kind of the president of Cuba or the
present governor general, the Cubans could
do little but comply.
All the convicted men have powerful
friends at home who are to be used in the
appeal to the United States to intervene.
Absolute pardon probably will not be
asked"
We should think not. An absolute par
don for the convicted thieves before thev
have gotten accustomed TO their stripes is
too much The public opinion of the
United States would drive from the White
House the President who would use his
high office to secure the release of these CON
victed thieves. In view of the develop
ments in Congress over the bribery by the
Danish captain Of some Of Mark Hanna s
dear friends, it is as good as guessing to
state that the burly Senator from Ohio will
be kept too busy lodging bricks to bother
himself with Rathbone, and there is but
little fear that any sane official, President
or governor, will dare to open the prison
doors for the looters and wreckers now
so Justly undergoing penal servitude
