But, little Is heard yet of the com ing Mardi Gras in Mobile, but The Ad- vertiser representative has been as- sured that the mystic organizations are by no means asleep and that the cele- bration of 1906 will eclipse anything of the kind ever undertaken in this city. The parades. 1t is whispered, will have added features which will redown to the credit of the men who give of their time and means to give delight to thousands of home people as we'll as visitors from every section or this broad land Said one in position to know. the outdoor attractions will be more plentiful, and placed at spots of vantage convenient to all

When the next Mardi Gras rolls round, how ever, two new, handsome and commo- iious hostelries will have been com pleted and In readiness. These added to the number now in operation with private accommodations in plenty, will be a stimulus for great influx of vis- itors. It is expected that the Gulf City will, because of the opening of the Mo- biles Jackson and Kansas City far up into Mississippi rob the Crescent City of many regular visitors of past years.

 One of the most interesting meetings yet held by the Mystic Order of Lag gers, the recently organized society in Oakdale. was held Tuesday night in their hall in that delightful suburb. the club room had been rehabilitated and looked very pretty. the new flag presented a short time ago being the centre of attraction. Considerable business was transacted. including the receiving of two applications, rejec- tfon of one, initiation of a newly-elect ed member and suspension of two
 President Werncth was in the chair and announced that suspensions would be ordered when members failed to pay their dues promptly and dismissals when no effort was made to make good on delinquencies.
 Secretary, Wade made an interesting talk on the aims and objects of the order, which proved of interest to new members. He said that just now the order is of a purely social nature. but before the coming of Mardi Gras the airy cloak of mysticism would be donned and, when the festal season comes the Mystic Order of Laggers would do itself and the town 1t repre- cents proud in the Mobile festivities.

Washington Special to N. Y. Herald.
 The President, after an absence of several months, has found the public service at a lower ebb than In many years. There never was a time when the air was so full of stories of petty graft in the departments. Little scan- dals are following on the heels of great scandals. There does not seem to be a department free of them.
 There has been a marked lowering in tone everywhere. This is in a meas ure due to the fact that the Govern ment has been running itself for about four months. and 1t Is also due to the loose methods coming from long con- tinuance of power. There Is scarcely a Cabinet officer who, instead of taking the thirty days of vacation allowed by law to ali officials, has net taken about ninety days. Some have been on in- spection tours or something of the kind so that their expenses could be charged against the Government. and some have been using naval vessels for their convenience in a way that would have caused a great public outcry in the days of the second Cleveland admin istration.
 Another bad example, which cannot fail to have it's effect. Is that set by the political members of the Cabinet. Postmaster General Cortelyou is still chairman of the Republican National Committee. Secretary Shaw Is off on stumping tour of Virginia Secretary Bonaparte. the Knight Errant of Civil

 If you will take the cranks in the United States Congress who want the government to do things the govern ment has no constitutional authority to do. such as making railroad rates, subsidizing steamship lines, and re-en- force them with the cranks out of Con- gress who would regulate the animal appetite of man by statute, and turn thority to govern this country, you would soon have more intolerable despotism in the United States than Turkey ever labored under.
 For one I would be sorry to see Ben Tillman retired to private life. He is an honest man, and the most indepen dent character now in public life He fetched his pitchfolk into the Senate chamber. He has found out that other men are as honest as he. He survived that shock. He did even better than that. he rejoiced over it. He is more of a statesman than all his fellow hot gospelers together, and he dares do things none of them would think of undertaking. Ruffianly as was his con duct-and there is much room for further improvement in that respect Tillman has gained the respect of all his fellows in the Senate and the cor dial friendship of many of them
