(all hoic'li thoughtful citi.eiiB should se tho animus of it in its character'), unless statement he made, ami mat is u.v Select Council takes this course at this time. When Mavor Weimer assumed his ollie.a Select Couucil anticipated nothing but that hariuciiy which oxist between the several depart It boro him no ill-will and it bears him no ill-will now. TlimtR AVKRK REASONS! Some of the Mayor's nominees wore not coufirined in the first instance, it is ti ne, but there was good and nufli-cieiit reason for that course. The majority of the members of this body believed that under an iiumediatelv prior administration there had been gross aud shameful irregularities in the Police Department, that the treasury of the city of Lebanon had been svs- deprived of what was its dne. and that, tho', iirt 1 mail bv men in uniform They beli.iv- I ed.

further, thut the same inilueinies I which dominatHii tbf. forite tui-dor that administration had prepared to continue their sv.av bv dci eiviutf the Mavor. Not all tho men of ihe police force mentioned were in sym pathy wth what, took idBc.e. by any means, (and certainly Mavor Hess was not) but few ot them dared to talk. Deiiiriiig a thorough investigation, Seiecfc leracprarjly rejected 'certain nojtpe npmiriees ot' tho iut-oming Mayor, in the hope that in a prompt and iioftc.pl'yjl (onference rltri matter might be thoroughly diacuiig-ed with tho Mavor and ho bo plaoed in the possession of information which it was supposed he did not have.

Not only nnlice nominees, bnt also several other'peteons, Wjsio ybjluuod expectation of such coiuerence with the Mayor, and because a majority of Select Oonncll had not been con vinced that the best interests of the citv would be subserved bv confirming them Since then a majority of the members Oo tiicil have learned that sqme of "nqiujaebs are capable mep.as for instance.

The Mavor. without ever aekincr a sou or 8eeiuinf to want it.

anonnnced that he wolud keen tne men in office despite rejection, and started them to work next day. It was published ab his conclusion that Select Council had no rieht in the premises except that of contrary to what has since boon admitted Hs the plain letter of the law. Then the dead lock began. The oolicv which was in augurated subverted the law When a confirming power refuses to confirm, and there is no prospect of au agree ment, it becomes the duty ot the nom inating power to act, to submit other uamea for consideration. Presidonts ol the fJnited Ctatetj and Governors of Statei do that time ana auaiii.

I it were admitted.for the sake of 'argument, that the persons nominated should have been confirmed in the first instance, how would a second wrong make a right? The blame for all the present disruption in onr mun icipal government should be placed wheo it belongs, namely, on the illegal cors which maintained the 'sons in ottlee who Bad no riht or title thereto. SELECT HAD CAUSE. Much ado has been made about reasons" for the course of Select Council. Let it be said, in answer to this sort of talk that Select Coun cil bad reasons, and tnt wanr, a to place those reasons before the Mavor. But the Mayor nastily assumed that there were no reasons, and that Select Council had uo right of rejection, aud foisted bis men on the city government without waiting for a conference While Select Couucil was per fectly willing to confer with the Mayor before coarse abuse from certain sources, and a pre-judgment of its case and disregard of its official rights by the Mayor made it impossible, it was never willing, and is not now Willie, tq enter upon a public controversy as to tae tncjje of any man for any municipal olllcel 'ydon' unctions should be settled by couference, not bv crimination and recrimination.

Who ever heard of any branch of auv appointing power, in city, fctata or nation, embarking on an endless pub lie debate as to the durability of any nominee for ins proposed place; (Jon ference between departments is one thing nublio discussion of personal antecedents or of Dbrsonal character, bv a deliberative body, acting in pur suance of its sworn duty, in answer to abrupt demands by one whose rights arise only through co-ordinate association and concurrence, Is anite another thiu. Select Council would have peaceabiv deiiOdratod with the Mavor. but it would not be elm.Lfed into doing what no self respecting legislative body cau properly do. name ly. blacken a man's character or dis credit bis ability when he merely seeks aupGiufnient to otlice.

Let any sensible uerson try tc imagine lor a moment tho spectacle of a President of tho Dinted States endeavoring jto coerce the Senate into telling the newspapers why it fails to confirm a nominee, and yet 'ybat diftereuce, except in uegree, ja there jjetwepn that case and tho one in hand The common sense or tho matter so Continued en Mb page CASTOR For Infants and Children.

WASHINGTON LETTER. Frvm our Regular Oorretpondent. Washington, Aug. 3, 11103. The Democrats expect to make val tnble capital ont of the depailmental mrandals for the use in the Congressional oleisioiis next year, according to a prom i nent Uemr.oratio representative in v.oii-tin is now iu Washiuerton.

This evn.nieiit of the nrirciials of Democracy declares that, the uoiiuoiiean party win hp held accountable for the peculation and wrona-doing ol individuals who nave carried ou their operations in the govern ment service. Iu his opinion the uenn ni-sra mill 1ioii a winninc issue 111 til. old ottt nf t'Tnru the rascals out. 1 ne an ministration However, actively to discover the irrcgnlaruns of the government individual ser vants and to na me eerviue ium whose dishonesty or incompetency make ihem UDfit for thi ir positions. Tin ll.isli light that waB raised over the intimations of improper actions on the part of the employes and officials of the Geological Survey, nas subsided into nothing.

1 he persons, with' tuie exception, who were charged with using infoiniatin obtained at the expense of the government for furthering the interests oi me juiinng World, a Chicago scientific journal, ami for their own pecuniary profit, have disclaimed reselling pajment of any of the articles purported to heye been written by them. Several of the em whose names appear on the Journal as "special editors" have also declared that such use ol their names was made without their permission, and that tbey performed no services whatever for the journal and gave it no over any other magazine of newspaper in the use of information collected at the government's expense. Should this question be considered of sufficient importance to require au investigation by Ihe Keep commission, the employes of the survey interested declare that no grounds will be found for the recent insinuations of irregularities among the survey (osa? ill this connection. The effort made to manufacture a yen- sation iu connection with the Weather Bureau's maintenance of an observatory at Mt. Weather.

Virginia, in tne time Kidge Mountaius, has likewise come to naught. Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the bureau, specifically denies the charge made against the service over which he preside. This observatory has been authoiized by Congress for live vears and the national law-making body has been fully advised of the work pcr- TT'-l formed mere, secretary hsuu to the stations have not been pleasure jaunts but official visits of inspection, and the observatory aoes not entertain "guests" at the government's expense, after the manner of a summer retort, as was charted.

A cablegram has been received by Secretarv Wilson from John Hyde, for mer Btaiistiau of the Afirricultuial de- nartment. statins that Mr. Hyde, who is now in England, will return to Wafh ington to be a wi'ness before the grand jury which is investigating tne cotton re Dorr, scandals. The employes of the imigration bureau dealine with the admission aud exclusion of Chinese are having trouble with the enforcement of the laws, according to an official of the bureau, owing to the fear of the employes, that they may be con sidered "over-zealous" in the discharge of theirduties. The trouble is attributed i i some quarters to the recent order of the President admonishing the inspectors with regard to applying the law.

1 ce inspectors are using extreme caution in approaching the chiuamen who make application for admission to the United States, and if the applicant maintains a haughty demeanor and desleres that he is a merchant or student or a member of any of the other exempt, classes he is passed with scarcely a perfunctory ex amination. Commissioner General Sar gent ot the itjaigration bureau is of he opinion that Congress will be called upon for legislation relative to this subject which, will operate with better success. The officials of the State Department have had to deal with a delicate and per plexing question of diplomatic etiquette. which is involved in the reception and entertainment of the Japanese and Russian peace envoys. In foreign courts set rules govern all diplomatic intercourses, but in this country the question of pre cedence has always been an annoying one because there have been no long es tablished rules for guidance.

In matters of precedence the members of the diplo matio corps are great sticklers and there have been numerous complaints on state occasions by the ambassadors and nun isters because senators and justices of tne supreme court nave been given places before the diplomatic corps. One of the problems that has been per. plexing the state department officials is which of the suites shall lust board ihe Mayflower. It has been tentatively d-. cided that if the launches oontaniug the Japanese should arrive at the side of the Mayflower before those of the Russians the hrsc arrival should drift around un til the other arrives.

Both parties will be supposed to approach the ladder lead ing to the deck of the Mayflower at the same time, but it may be necessary to use two ladders, since only one person can be accommodated at a time on the one ladder usually need. Another ones tion is, who shall be first received by the I resident on the deck of the vessel and who shall be introduced- to the other, Then comes the ticklish matter of seat ing the representatives of the two nations at the table at the luncheon to be given by the President. Wijl a Russian or a Japanese occupy the place of honor at the President's right? Shall the victor or the vanquished bo accorded that honor? Would it be discourteous to place the Japanese in a subordinate place whea their country has lately paid such honor to Secretary Taf and Miss Roosevelt Count Witte ia designated as number one in the delegation ot Uussians, and that places the Russian ambassador iu the second place, and upsets a precedent Count Witte possibly outranks Baron ttorauraand Mr. lakahira as a miuist and not an ambassador, like liaron Kesen. However the euvoys may be seated they will undoubtedly aocept the situation diplomatically.

9 If Hussia imagines for a siugle moment that the Japs will forego Uie fruits of their marvellous v'ctoiies by Supinely agreeing to her "demands" a tho Peace Conference, Russia will find herself to mightily mistaken. Oik would tbiik from the attitude of the Russian government that that naiio, instead of Japn, has been sncctssful in the Asiatic war. A Wise Suggestion. i t- uujjeiiuicuuunu oi nunooii maxwell, JMew lork, has decided to recommend the installation of shower batrs in all the public schojls of that city. He hii be convinced, by 'borough investigation, that in the comparatively few school buildings in which appliances now are they have been of gieac benefit to the childsen.

There seems to be no doubt that the departure suggested would prove to be a worthy addition to the public school systegi of New York.

His achievements have been o' the utmost service to the American people. President Koosevelt made history the oilier day when he brought the representatives of Japan and Russia together for conference.

The American government has cow done all it can do to bring peace to pass. The toast proposed by President Koosevelt to "Peace," participated in as it was by the representatives of these hostile nations, must have been an impressive as well as a singular pro-Oaeding.

Jerome has announced his determination not to appear as a candi date for re-election on any regular tioket. bat has caused to be circulated, instead, petitions which will entitle hiui to run as an independent candidate He gives it as his reason for this unusual and well-nigh unprecedented proceeding that he cannot accept endorsement by any political par, without feeling himself under tacit obligations to its leaders. Jerome is a qneer character and does queer things, lint this action of his, while it has caught the fancy o' a lot of ideal ists, is not much of au example to any one and hardly redounds to his own credit. When he ran for the Distrkt Attorneyship he was willing to take all the party nominations he could get. Tammany Hall pulled htm thtough, although it must be conceded that the force of his own personality caught the sup port of many But be would not have stood a lies', of a show of winning if it had not been for his regular Demo-cratic frienda.

Af er a season in office, dutiug which his achievements have been matched day by day by his vociferousneFs (and it can not be said that bis achievements were small, )he poses as independent of party support entirely. We do not believe, with him, that a nomination to political office of any sort need mean, to any strong man, an obligation beside his official oath. The mau who is dominated by a party organization, with the thought in the minds of the leaders that ha cau be made to disregard his duty, is not fit for office. lis who takes office wuh such ulterior allegiance deserves the sternest reprobation. It seems to na that when ona wi'h the record for political honesly which Mr.

Jero-ne has proclaims bis in ability to do his duty after election as a party candidate, he only disappoints the tie admiration of his admirers. But there will be an interesting campaign in New York, at any rate, and that is a great satisfaction to the average news paper reader. A Revulsion. The CovniF.R has noticed within the past several weeks that quite a number cfjnewspapers have expressed a revulsion Of flinj in the matter of the present fusillade of abuse against John D. Rocke feller.

There will be some of course, who will misunderstand ibis statement and others who will wilfully misread it, but the fact remains that much has been said that was nothing bat coarse blackguardism. For instance, i was stated in certain newspaper dispatches from Cleveland, (although the likelihood is that those 'dispatches" wftre written at hcadqua: ters.) that Rockefeller finds the door of every club barred against him, the members of every social group hostile, shunned by cookies and pointed to la scorn by children on the streets, and Ilia own family bitterly hostile, of this sort of taik is rot, of course. It is worse than rot. We are not defenders of Mr. Rockefeller or of his systsni, but even a rich mm is entitled to a fair deal.

It requires no courage to argail the Standard Oil magnate in press or zine, and it requiiea little literary ability to paint him blacker than blackest night It is trne that the very bitterest of orit'-cisms of him are but fcigns of a healthy reaction apainst the passion for money making which prevailed in such marked degree in recent years, but that does ot justify these criticisms, by any means. In every moral campaign someone will be sure to make a fool of himself by losing the balance of sane judgment, or else manifesting a previous lack of it. In the cause of the plain people against the criminal trusts it is qnite to be expected that there will be cheap "character sketches'' and "psychological studies" and "pen pictures" of a sort so violent as to ezcitain fair-minded persons nothing but resentment.
