GETTING SCARCE

be forthcoming. President Wilson, of
course, stands with the Postmaster Gen
eral and that attitude is characteristic of
the president, too, that when he has
championed a nominee he is for him
through thick and thin, unless it can be
shown that some important information
about him was withheld during the pre-
liminary examination of the candidates
qualifications.
The filling of Offices has proceeded lei
surely, but let it not be inferred that
democrats are overlooking any federal
places. The search has been most thor.
ough and applications have been put
file for everything in sight, furthermore
about everything is being given to dem
ocrats. BY the time this session Of con
gress adjourns there will be mighty few
Offices to republicans, except where there
is an %unexpired term. Congress has led
the way in this. as to its own patronage.
A few employees at the Capitol are re
garded as fixtures because of their *
perience and training for certain posi-
lions. This is notably true of the clerks
of Appropriation Committees. Demo-
Gratis have not disturbed those officials
who are almost indispensable for their
knowledge of how to fix up conference
reports and attend to other detailed and
important matters. A few doOrkeepers Oh
the soldiers roll have been retained but
otherwise there has been almost a clean
sweep. For example a few days ago DR..
Woodbury. Pulsifer was "let out" as com
piler of the Naval Year Book. His bro.
ther the late Pitman Pulsifer, originated
the volume and it seemed to be an in
stitutiOn in the Pulsifer family. Senator
Tillman, Of South Carolina demanded
the place for one of his constituents and
got it.
President Wilson has not been quite
so summary in taking Offices from re
publicans but he has none the less &C
quiesced in manning the government
through and through with democrats.
AS a matter Of fact the republicans res.
pect him for that attitude. much as they
dislike to ~relinquish the patronage. But
if the situation were reversed they would
do likewise.
Democrats, who were serving under
the Taft administration, have been treat.
ed exactly as republicans. This was the
ease with Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury James F. Curtis. He was sci.
acted by Secretary MacVeagh more than
three years ago and the criticism was
made that Mr.. Curtis had always been a
democrat. He did fairly well in charge
President Wilson. indeed. conducted a
quiet but Ineffective campaign to that
end. Charles s. Hamlin, of Boston, was
nominated the other day to succeed him.

that monarch paid to France and the

that the exchange of visits between the

conclusion according to authoritative
diplomatic sources here.

The further upturn carried the
quoted values of the share list into
new ground since the termination o.

now about where they were at the

operations upon the buying side are

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, July 24-The
Broadening tendency of speculative
trade which has been the feature Of
several days past in the cotton mar
ket was again in evidence this morn
ing. 1t was accompanied by pro-
nounced weakness. in which both the
old and now crop positions shared.
Some of the private wires maintain
ed that rain had already commenced
at various points in Texas and Okla
homa.
After midday cotton became very
weak under heavy liquidation by
Wall Street, the South and room
traders, coupled with aggressive bear
pressure, all based on the indications
that dry period In Texas had been
broken. BY mid-aftcrnoon new crops
were selling about twelve points under
last night. and old crops 10 to 90
points net lower. The market finally
closed with but little recovery from
these figures.
