one Of the jurists who reversed some

Several days ago Il was made known
that while the two West Virginia Ser
ators were anxious 10 have Fred Paul
Grosscup, Of that State, brother Of
the judge, made collector OF the inter
nal revenue for the Mountain Common
wealth. to succeed W. f. Glasscock,
the President was opposed 10 such ap-
pointment.
This morning a delegation from West
Virginia. COMPOSED of Senators Scott
and EllSins, and Representatives Hughes
and Gaines, called at the White House
10 present their claims for the position
The Senators an6 Representative
Gaines are understood 10 have been
backing Mr.. GToSsCup.
Other candidates have been presented
Grant Hall, Of Charleston, and A. j.
Hearn, Of Bluefeld
Evidently the President did not say
whether he would appoint any Of the
men suggested. bat his striking ref
erence to Mr.. Grosscup and his pointed
refusal 20 appoint any one related to
the judge made the whole delegation
sit up with eyes wide open.
The delegation is split up over the ap-
pointment and Senator Scott said that
probably now he would have TO bring

In his address Nr. Cochran banded
frequently the name Of f. H. Hartman
as illustrating the difference between
legitimate speculation and pernicious

That there was , difference in honest
speculation and perniciOus gambling,
Nh. Cochran said would be admitted by
all, but he said he must most vfgor-
0usly oppose an amendment such as the
Garrett amendment was which did not

COMMITTEE CLERKS
HAVE A CLOSE CALL
Spirited Debate Arises in the
House Over Their Re
appointment.

Ten s. a DAY clerks. TO as many COM
mittees who have in charge the exoendi-

partments. came near losing their jobs
today when Representative Fitzgerald
OF New York objected TO the reappOint-
ment Of these clerks on the ground thai
the committees had nothing 10 do and
did nothing.
Early in tOdsy-s session, Representa-

unanimous consent to the passsSA Of a
resolution from the conrrrrCtee. - ac-

on expenditures for the Department OF

Mr. Fitzgerald arose and said that he
remembered similar appropriation last
session and that SO far he did nor re-
member having seen any report OF
what these committees had done Of ben
eft to the House or anyone else.
AIR Bartlett OF Georgia and Mr. Mann
OF Illinois said that they understood the
committees were really meeting Occa-

Congress ought TO encourage them. even

SOME GET RICHES AND SOME
GET STUNG.

How to get rich quick" appears to
be a subject of perennial popular in
terest. The postoflice inspectors are at
present working on one of its char
acteristic phases. Some man in Cor
necticut, 1t seems, has taken advantage
of this popular aspiration TO play a
jOIle-a very practical joke that may
land him in Jail if ne should be caught
This wag or rogue advertised that he
would reveal the secret of getting rich
quick" for the small sum of 30 cents
Those who took stock in the scheme
found that the secret" was n some
what familiar piece Of advice, to-wit:
Work hard"
Stung. Stung TO the very quick!
These people have reported the matter
to the postal authorities. They nave
good ground for revenge or resent
ment. They know very we'll that it
isn't possible, as a rule, TO get rich
quick by working hard. 1t usually
takes a long time TO get rich in that
fashion. 50 these people who were
bitten have very properly complained
that the Connecticut man got their
money by false Pretenses-
The people who want to get rich
quick don't want to work if they can
help it. They don't want work so much
as they want money. They know
very well, if they have read history, or
if they read the newspapers, that men
who have made fortunes have usually
worked long and hard before achiev-
ing success. That information, that
particular secret of acquiring wealth,
is at everyOne's disposal gratis. In
this case the postal sIeuths are now
working ON, and in many another SINH
lar cases previously reported, the only
one with a chance to get rich quick
is the one who sells the alleged secret.
Even in the case OF the most severe
" criticised millionaire, the acquisition
of riches took much time and energy.
Mr. Rockefeller, for example, began his
remarkable business career by working
down on a Cleveland dock for a couple
of dollars a week. Aside entirely from
his questionable dealings with rail-
roads, he had the power as well as the
purpose of getting rich; and he didn't
have to write to anyone in Connecticut
to get it.

Thomas Thinks Temporary

TO Absence on Pay.

In the opinion OF Corporation Counsel
z. Il. Thomas. temporary per diem en-
piOye Of the District government, are
not entitled 10 leaves Of absence with
pay, or 20 pay for work not actually
performed
Heretofore IL has been the practice
OF the Commissioners To grant leaves

approved March >, 1885. which provides
That the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia are authorized here
after, in their discretion. 10 grant

this provision, allotted a total Of so3

cure skilled counsel or to give huge
bail, and who are subjected accordingly
to all the rigors OF confinement and to
its accompanying disgrace.
The remarkable exceptions to the
operation of the law witnessed in the
instances of rich or influential cul-
prits (of which the cases cited afford
fragrant illustrations) ought to be
minimized as much as practicable by
public sentiment. This should make
1t clear that plunderers and thieves, no
matter who or what they are, or who
or what thev were, or how high their
supposed public station was, viii re-
ceive none Of the sympathy which free
ly goes to the really unfortunate.

surgency. He introduced an innocent
and ingenious resolution, privileged in
character, to open the fight. 1t called
on the State Department for informa-
tion about the rules of the house of
commons When it want reported
from the Foreign Affairs Committee, he
moved the discharge of the committee,
and the motion carried.
Thus far Mr. Gardner had planned
and managed eXcellently. He had won
the first round. He had mustered
majority Of the House. But he plung-
ed ahead, as soon as this initial vic
tory had been won, and insisted on fol
lowing up the advantage. Having
taken his resolution from the commit
tee, he wanted to amend it into non
privileged form The Chair ruled
against him, and in appealing from the
ruling Mr.. Gardner was defeated.
The mistake IN the proceeding was
to appeal from the Chair, on a question
as to which the Chair was problbly
right. II may be technical, but there
are plenty of strict constructionists.
The fact that many members sincerely
believed the Speaker was right in his
ruling, was responsible for the tabling
of the appeal.
The insurgents cannot win their bat.
tie by this kind of tactics. They need
to have a skilled and experienced steer
ing committe, which shall prepare their
program, and TO. which the rest shall
be mwaveringly loyal They cannot
expect that a majority of the House
viii vote with them on the theory that
the end justifes the means. They must
keep right, or lose.
On the other hand, the attitude of
the Democrats is Teassuring To those
who hope for rule revision. They came
up TO the scratch and stood by the
fight to the end. The first showing of
hands is decidedly encouraging to those
who wish the rules liberalized.

LESSONS OF PENNSYLVANIA'S
CAPITOL CONVICTIONS.

Under the code of ethics and Of law
nominally prevailing in this Common
wealth, the men convicted at Harris
burg of completely in the capitol
frauds, ard to whom a new trial has
Just been refused, VIII, or should, be
treated according to their present de-
serts by the communities in which
they live, They are simply convicted
criminals, at large upon bail, pending
what will doubtless prove lengthy fur
Their appeals.
Whatever presumption of innocence
may still be applied to such of their
associates as have not yet been tried
or who have been acquitted as to some
charges, but not as to all, cannot
apply to these convicted men.
To the community much of the value
Of these convictions is in danger of be-
ing entirely lost so long as the convicted
men continue to pose las they have
done persistently thus far as persons
whose guilt is in doubt. There IS, in
reality, no doubt whatever about their
guilt-no doubt legal or actual any
longer remains that they contemplated
fraud, devised methods to carry out
fraud, and did carry it out. There
ought, therefore, to be no question as
TO the status they occupy, but which,
either as the result of mistaken SYM
pathy or lax public sentiment, they are
permitted TO escape.
No one would urge unfair or unJulv
