GIVEN A VIGOROUS WARNING.
Surveyor General Of Idaho Must Treat
His Chief Clerk With Consideration.

Commissioner Richards Of the general
land Office sounded vigorous warning yes
terday to the employees of his Office who
their subordinates or superiors. Mr.. Rich
ards intends that the Office over which he
presides shall be one of the most harmoni-
GUS and businesslike institutions of the
government. He has stated several times
that unless the employees all do their ut
most to bring about this end, public bust
ness win suffer and public interests decay.
Commissioner Richards took occasion to
bring up sharply one of the most important
officers of his department in another Sec
ton of the country. This officer. Surveyor
General Eagleson Of Idaho. is charged with
endeavoring to make his Office SO uncom-
Portable for Mr.. Alexander Schlegel, his
chief clerk, that he will resign or get out
in some manner and a friend of his chief
can be appointed in his place This state
of affairs was discovered by one OF the
inspectors of the land office who was sent
to Idaho to make an investigation The
letter of Commissioner Richards Is re-
garded as one of the most vigorous and
positive attempts toward establishing am1ty
and good fellowship between the employees
of the government that has ever been made
by a public official, in that 1t threatens
with dismissal the surveyor general unless
he can change his views regarding his chief
clerk Commissioner Richards states:
! by letter of January q, 1903, there was
forwarded to you decision OF the Secre-
tary of the Interior deciding that Mr.. Schle-
ton of chief clerk in your Office. in ac-
cordance with the civil service rules. and
recurring you to comply with the fnstruc-
lions of this Office relating to the matter,

OYSTER Canning in the South.

"Charlestonians areShew greatly inter-
ested in an oyster canning factory which
recently began operations in our CITY," said
D. j. Merchant Off thes southern city to
Star man at the Arlington this morning.
1.-THE factory was built on the most modern
lines, ana from the time Of landing the
oysters on the wharfeuntil they are put In
the cars ready for shipment no time is lost.
From the wharf they are moved on minia-
ture ears, rolled into the opening benches
where a large number of hands are at work
with the knives. Alters opening they are
passed to the canperss1o only few yards
away and soldered up. The cans are taken
to Kettles and boiled, and are then ready
for the labelling machine and the packers
and shippers, to be sent eby them to various
parts of the country. t4nt
"At the close of the oyster season the fac
tory will be used for the canning Of fruits
and vegetables so that 1t will be in opera
ton practically the entire year, giving en-
ployment to large number Of men. women
and children"

nd in said letter the following language

anu IN Salu Ietter the lOlOW1ng language
Is used:
"'You are therefore instructed that Mr.
Schlegel must be recognized as the chief
clerk of your Office by yourself and your
employees, and all CT the details for the
public business usually considered Is a part
of the duties Of that position assigned to
him"
at is apparent that you have not COM
piled with these instructions; that 1t Is not
your Intention to allow Mr.. Schlegel to per-
form all the duties Of chief clerk, but
rather that 1t is your Intention to make
his position SO uncomfortable that he will
be compelled to abandon it.
1.-THE course which you have been pur-
suing in this matter will not be longer toll
Grated You are hereby required either to
state that you will accept the decisions
which have been rendered in this matter in
good faith and that you will comply fully
with the letter and the spirit Of the in
structions heretofore sent you In connection
Herewith, and that you will fully recognize
Mr.. Schlegel as chief clerk Of your office
and permit him to perform the duties per-
tanning thereto and accord to him such
official courtesies and treatment as he is
entitled to, or to at once forward your res
ignation as surveyor general for the state
of Idaho. In the event that you do not re-
ply to this communication within reas-
enable time, or that you decline to comply
with either of the above requirements, you
will be summarily removed from the official
position which you now occupy without
further notice.

Origin Of the seedless Tomato.

"Would you believe that the dread dis

ever Not very many years ago, when APP

went forth that vegetables full of seeds
should be given up. The growers. however.
said nay; they would not think Of 1t. So

Woman Suffrage in Australia.
ON the PHILADELPHIA Press.

The advantage or disadvantage of woman
suffrage win have thorough test In the
new commonwealth of Australia. Every
woman will have the same right to vote
that every man has in the federal election
there next year. In New Zealand and
South Australia women have voted for sew
eraI years, but under the confederation of
all the provinces into the commonwealth the
women will all vote. They number $4,000
and the men $4,000, so the men will have
the advantage. But In some of the prov
inces and In some of the cities the women
are in the majority, rather unusual thing
for a new country A good many young
women, 1t is thought, will not vote because
unwilling to admit that they are twenty zone
years old, while considerable number of
older women have opposed woman suffrage.

MI. Livingsten's Statement.
Mr.. Lvingston's staternent follows:
II submit herewith tabular statement
showing the appropriations for the fiscal
years 1895 and 1896. made by the ffty-third
Congress. which wes controlled In both Of
its branches by the democratic party and
during Mr.. Clevelands administration Of
made by the fftyssarenth Congress just
closing, for the fiscal years 1908 and 1904.
The latter contrasted with the former bears
upon its face its own criticism.
During the first period named, the total
of appropriations amounted to only $685.,
259, $50. while for the latter period they
reached the astonishing total Of 81, 5o4. 1OS.-
514.S4; and. adding thereto the contract
made. namely. 500. III, 4s5 autisoriaed at
the first session of this Congress- together
with approximately $50, 100000 authorized
during the second session just closing. we
gerously close to the wo-bilIion- dollar mark
for single Congress.
For Military Expenses.
II will not undertake to analyze figures
as they appear in this table, but will content
my SciA Win CdiliiS dlteullOu W ouiy lew
of the salient facts developed therein Dur
ing the F4fty-third Congress the total ap-
preparations for the military and naval serv-
ice of the government, not Including those
for pensions or for the maintenance of SOL
diers' homes, aggregated $1O6, 791, 223.0 or
little more than one-tenth of the whole
appropriations made. During the Fifty-sev-
enth Congress, which made appropriations
for the current and for the coming fiscal
year, the sums devoted to these objects
amounted to 348,3I0, ASH, or more than
three times what these necessary branches
OF our public service cost under democratic
legislation and administration, and more
than one-fourth Of all Of the appropriations
for the two years.
1.-The legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, which provides substan-
TALLY for the civil list Of the government,
has increased over and above the amounts
that were found sufficient during the fiscal
eco.
1.-The sundry civil or omnibus bill for 1895
and for 1896 has been increased by this
Congress more than s62.0oo.0O0.
Deficiencies More Than Double.
THE deficiencies which this Congress has
seen fit to make up In appropriations for the
republican administration are more than
double those which resulted during the ad
ministration of the government in 1895 and
1885,
The miscellaneous acts carrying appro-
priations during the Fifty-third Congress
amounted to less than a million dollars,
while those Of this Congress will probably
foot up to not less than $8.000,OOO
THE permanent annual appropriations,
which provide chiefly for the interest on
the national debt and for the requirements
of the sinking fund. have been increased
more than 1000, 600
