clerk divides his thirty days and
takes one at a time he may by careful
management get sixty in the year, that
is by looping a half day from the day
he leaves and a half day from the day
he returns he gets an extra day with
full pay. For sick leave he can
obtain physicians certificate that
he has been i'll enough to need a pic
mic. These are the smallest Of the Of
fenses Of the clerks and so common
as to be considered outside altogether
the question Of clerks honesty or
efficiency The greater ones that may
possibly come UP for rectifcation un-
der the new law are too numerous
and of too widely a varying character
to make description possible. Sufic-
an example or two A chief Of a bu-
reau is an habitua1 drunkard. He
has a trusted clerk who feels his own
position more secure or his chances
for promotion better if he humors the
chief The chief leaves with him his
signature attached to blank document
papers Of all variety when he goes for
a spree. The clerk fills them in and
they go to the secretary and occasion
ally even the president is honored with
one which the chief has never seen ex-
cept when he attached his name to the
blank. His clerk keeps him informed
in a general way Of the Office, if he
can be found anI if his absence caus-
es too much comment he generally has
sufficient control to sober up and
come back until quiet is restored. An
other, the correspondent Of a powerful
newspaper wants his "ladyfren" kept
in Office It is both more respectable
and more economical for him. She
hasn't had the advantages Of an ex-
tensive education but she can dust
books SO she gets a place at IS per
month. She isn't always clean or al
ways polite Or always sober but it is
a dangerous thing to antagonize a
powerful newspaper and the CORES
pondent probably knows about other
irregularities in the department that
the chief who signs each month for
her efficiency and good conduct would
not have made public for good deal
more than seventy-fve dollars
month paid by the governments But
space forbids enumeration. The cab
met officers have the right in their
own hands now. If they allow the gov
ernment to be so persistentiy and
Systematically 1eeced the public will
know where to place the responsibility.

DEMANDED Ten CENTS.
Eaaae, Georgia, Farmers Fix the Price
for Their Cotton.

The following dispatch in the At
lanta Constitution gives an interest.
ing account Of a, recent scene in Rome,
sGa.:
pay us 10 cents for our cotton or
we win haul it lack home Such
was the ultimatum issued to the local
cotton buyers by those farmers who
brought their cotton to Rome today.
Spot cotton opened at nine and three
sauarters, then, while great quantities
came in, It was soon apparent that
none was to be had at that price. The
farmers stood around the street and
talked among themselves, but any
price offered less than ten cents met
with instant refusal. It was ten cents
or nothing.
Plead as the local buyers would, It
did not alter the case in the least. Ten
cents was the upset price, and any
thing mentioned less than ten cents
was liable TO inaugurate either fight
or flow of language less religious
than emphatic or eloquent
Matters stood in statu quo until
about 4 o'clock this evening, when the
fsr-na-s, their wagons loaded with
cotton. assembled on lower Broad
str formed the parade and march
ed the principal streets of the city
u:l.il q late hour A bugler and q
drummer were procured, and a big
banner bearing the sign, 'tPay US ten
cents for our cotton or we will haul
it back again." waved from a pile of
bales upon the front wagon.
The streets were soon lined with
people, and the farmers were cheered
to the echo at every corner Of the
streets. It was evident to the most
casual observer that the sympathy of
the people was with the plucky farm
ers. A feeble attempt was made upon
the part Of some buyers to guy the
parade, but it did not work at all.
The people cheered as the wagons
all heavily laden with bales of 1eecy
staple, rolled by.
The most remarkable circumstance
/, Of the whole affair was found in the
elimination Of the parade, however
just as they were about TO disperse
Izand haul their cotton back home
some OF them, as far as Is miles, s
prominent buyer of this city steppeG

Good men, I admire your pluck.
will take every bale in this parade Al
ten cents It was sold, every bale
J at the price named by the planters
Thus ended one Of the most remark,
able sceres ever seen in Rome.
