Senator Scott of West Virginia had a candidate for office in his State and pushed him vigorously at the White House. The opponents of Scott's man dug up the fact that he was not so exemplary a a.citizen as he might be and had a record The President cannot think of appointing such man and told Scott so. Later the President sent in the nomination of Ben Daniels of Ari- zona, and wrote the famous letter ex- cuslng Daniels for having been in the penitientiary for staling a mule. Scott went to the White House and said my man, but it seems to me that you did It without proper investigation You have underestimated his worth and qualifications" How so?' asked the President Why. you have nominated Ben Daniels Ali we'll and good, but my man Is twice as worthy as your man. Daniels was In the penitentiary only once and my man was ntwtce.

Free CIothes for Firemen.

Tt would not surprise me to see the members Of the fire department apply to the City Council for free uniforms in the near future said a far seeing citizen yesterday. q have talked to some of the firemen and they think whats sauce for the goose Is sauce for the gander. The police have got ten their uniforms and ere long I expect to hear q cry from the fire lad dies. Their rights should be equally respected as those of the police and l don't see how the Council can show any preferences.
 There is a movement ahead for uniforming the members of the sani- tary department and should the Coun- ell demand that the inspectors be garbed In regulation style. the same cry will come from this department for free clothing. Their privileges and rights would be equal to those of the police and firemen. Where will 1t end?"

The Executive Council, in It's es-
sion of yesterday afternoon, acted Ia
vorably on the application for a fran
chise made by the representatives.
of the "Red d Line" to be allowed
construct a dock and wharf in San
Juan.
The matter has not received the
prompt attention that was expected,
IN view of the teverish haste of the
congregation in calling an extra ses-
sion of the Legislative Assembly for
the purpose of taking immediate
action looking to the solution of the
illusory conflict of the docks, which
has has had no existence save IN
the minds of our tutors.
The extraordinary session, as our
tutors we'll know, terminated in an
unexpected manner, without-fortr
nately-the stupendous plan of the
Commissioner of the Interior being
approved.
After prolonged and tiresome de-
bates, the Legislature adjourned
without it's being nece ssary for the
COuALl ~ Idl1NhL lAN NOho hAAAA1A@tAO14
of the idiotic measure of the above
functjonary.
Then is was clearly demonstrated
that it was unnecessary, neither aa-
vantaseous nor wise to adopt the
plan of the Head Of the Departm ent
of the Interior and convert the whar-
ives and docks into a bureaucratic
cncampment, for Immediately the
reafter, private enterprise ask
ed for the granting of the fran
chise which was favorably acted On
in the session of the Executive Coun-
Gil yesterday afternoon.
The monopolization Of the docks,
so strenuously sought for by the re-
verend congregation, has been de-
feated, and we can now congratulate
ourselves that the firm and determi-
ned opposition to the rejected mea-
sure has had such a satisfactory ont
come.
The plan of the Commissioer of the
Interior has been proved to have
been absolutely unnecessary and Ia
mcntable mistake.
Private enterprise and the 1egiti-
mate competition of the shipping in
terests have taught the government a

lesson, pointirx "a. the fo11y and
foolishness Of its proposed course IN
invading, or thT catching to invade
with absurd and insensate projects
which produce alarm and inevitable
fears-helds Of industrial activity
which ought 70 be respected. because
IL this is not done, the results are
dana ging to the general interests of
the country. which invariably suffer
the fatal consequences of govcrH
mental excesses.
The Executive Council is not ent-
tiled 20 any great measure of praise
for its action, as It has only done its
plain duty in granting the franchise
in question and preventing the 60
yernment from spending the money
| of the people on works which are the
province of private enterprise, and
are always undertaken when it is
evident, as is the case here, that they
are necessary and will yield a pro-
| fit.
That the franchise has been gran
tied is due IN large measure to
| the activity and etferts Of the soli-
sitants, an it is well that our tutors
have conceded it; the grantees have
given all the Necessary guarantees
and securities to the interests which
our tntors imagined to be SO serio
usly menaced when, in virtue Of an
| linadmissable combination, they att
empted to extend even to the docks
their orbing dominion, the impcr-
ialistic power, the insutferablc feu
da1 sovereignty which invades all
The spheres Of collective activity and
INDUCES IN censurab1e endeavors to
bring everything under the despotic
and asphyxiating control of the bur
caucratic despotism.
But in spite Of selfish efforts, pri
vate initiative, on occasions, battles
with success, as has been the case
in Ii present instance, teaching the
CONGREGATION that It's meddling and
Ioficiousness is inopportune and it's
lender and feigned solicitude alto
gcther Unnecessary and gratuitous
which, we might add in passing, is
viewed by the country with susp
iCion, for it feels an inst inctive alarm
over every industrial scheme under
taken by the government.
