private books and contained his per
sonaI correspondence, and that It was
the custom of the Office to keep such
books for the personal use of the Com
missioner.
The Government contended that the
books contained official records, and
that they were destroyed by Hermann
TO cover Up his connection with land
frauds. and thus do away with evi-
dence that could be used against him.

Isaula Disgraced.

Isaula's second reply was equally un-
satisfactory, so Commander Fullam took
the matter up with General-in-Chief
Estrada, commanding the Nicaraguan
forces in Honduras, under whom Isaula
held his commission. Fullam demanded
either an apology from Isaula or his
dismissal by Estrada and his expulsion
from Puerto CCrteZ. as an aVoWad
enemy of the United States"
Estrada lost no time in disgracing the
colonel. He not only complied with the
demands of Commander Fullam. but
wrote an apology for Isaula's conduct
saying tnaJ he was profoundly sorry
and reflected with great pain upon the
unfortunate Incidents. for which Coll
onel Isaula was solely responsible" {"
Isaula has rot been heard from since.

Two Ways to Look at 1t.

The Colorado legislature has elect
ed multi Millionaire to the United
States senate by the name of Guggen-
helm, name that would indicate
that he had better stay at home But
as the people of that state wanted a
millionaire to represent them, it is
their business. The fact that he is
enormously rich will not prevent him
from working for the best interests of
the people of his state and the fact
that he has acquired riches demon
strates that he IS no fool and possibly
he may give them better service than
some jay as poor as Jobs turkey,
who is always howiing about the ag
gregated wealth of the country to
which he has never added dollar by
honest toll.

NEW SALARY SYSTEM.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
figured out new salary system for
postal clerks and letter carriers all over
the country the at will be of interest
to thousands of employees. He
shows in his annual report just sub
mitted that it is very difficult to keep
good clerks in the postal service.
About IL per cent of the clerks re-
sign annually, while 3 per cent of
the letter carriers also quit the
public for private service. He, there
fore, recommends that there should
be graduated salary roll beginning
with $500, and running from that TO
$500, and than by jumps of $500 to
$1,000 per annum. He wishes to pro
mote the clerks and carriers regular.
ly from 5000 to the 5000 grade accord
ing to their term of service and
after that to make their promotions
depend entirely on efficiency and
competitive examinations. 1t is be-
lieved in this way that it will be
possible to get better grade of men
in the service and keep them there.

TROUBLE IN ARMY AND NAVY.

TROUBLE IN ARMY AND NAVY.
Trouble has been experienced in the
army and navy. In spite of the fact
that the legal strength of the standing
army has been raised it is now far
below the maximum. The desirable
class of recruits are apparently not
willing to go into service for $13 a
month and board. General orders
have been issued to recruiting
officers all over the country to make
specia efforts to get in additional
recruits and bring the enlisted
stength up to something like its law
full maximum of 100, 900.
