OF Public Servants.
New York Tribune.
1t is not easy to understand why there
should be stubborn opposition to the pend

the hfe-saying service. There surely are
no other public servants. at any rate in

their cost perform labors OF greater profit
to the nations that the members OF life

any considerable saving from It is impos-
sible and the strict rules of the department
prevent them from engaging in any other
occupation for gain. Moreover, when they
get done with their service for the govern
ment they are generally ineapacitated for
further activity.
In these circumstances they, or their de-
pendents and survivors, certainly seem 20
be entitled 70 consideration at the hands
OF the government. In private industries
the principle OF employers responsibility is
gaining favor. ami more and more il is
being held that a business should bear its
own risks. There Is apparent no good
reason why the government should differ
from other employers or why the public
business should be exempted from the gen
eral rule Of responsibility for its own risks.

treasury actually could not afford Il, the

took this action late Friday night.
thereby giving the politicians who

for several months past. but that il
the past thirty days especially ha'
this been pronounced.
Mr.. Johnson says that the ipjec

sons and 6 daughters, most of
whom are dead.
