The important office of comptroller of the currency, which has been va cant for some time, was filled yesterday by the appointment of ex-Congrossman Lacey, of Michigan. Singular as it may seom, there was until two or three weeks ago but one applicant for this po- gition, R. C. Parsons, of Ohio, who waa strongly supported by Sonator Sher- man. An investigation of the record of Mr. Parsons evidently led the president to conclude that he would not, even in deference to the wishes of the Ohio senator, appoint him, and the Michigan man was selocted. The national banking interest, with which the comptroller of the currency has most to do, will receive with inter- est the facts regarding the new official. Mr. Lacey has himself been a banker, and thus brings to the position a prac- tieal knowledge and experience in financial affairs, which dught to be of value. Befora the prosent administra- tion expires it will undoubtedly be called upon to recommend to congress legislation. regarding the national banking system, the maintenance or abandonment of which will have to be dotermined within the next few years. A variety of expedients have been suggested and discussed with ref- erence to continuing the system, but there is a great diversity of opinion as to what should be done. A practical banker ought to be able to do much to- ward enlightening and uniting opinion upon a practical plan, fair and just, at once to the publicand the banks, by which a banking system unsurpassed by that of any other country can be main- tained. In another respect a practical banker ought to be of ‘great value in the office of comptroller of the cur- rency, and that isin remedying and preventing the abuses that have devel- oped in the national banking system within a few years. The chief of these is the opportunity that has been per- mitted bank officials to enter largely into speculations with the fundsof their banks, for which the lax vigilance and interest of the comptroller’s office has been in no small measuve responsi- ble. It is proverbial that the examina- tions of national banks required by tho law, and which are left entirely in the discretion of the comptroller of the cur- rency as to when they shall be made, have grown to be of the most perfundtory character. Almost every bank failure in the last half dozen years, if not for a longer period. has followed soon after the favorable reportof an examiner. Incompetent and careless, if not corrupt, men are appointed to this impor- tant duty, and the result is that these examinations have come to be re- garded as practically worthless. A re- form in this respect is urgently needed and a practical banker should know how to institute it. The congressional record of Mr. La- cey shows him to have been an anti- silver man, so far as continued coinage under the Bland act is concerned, but in favor of bimetallism. In congress and subsequently he expressed himself as being favorable to an international agreement looking to the free coinage of gold and silver upon a common ratio, though not regarding hopefully the out- ook for such an agreement. His past attitude in this respect, while 1t will commend him to a large class of finan- ciers, may rendex him unpopular with others, but whatever his present opin- ions may be regarding this matter—and it is quite possible his views have un- dergone some” modifications—they can- not exert a controlling influence. At any rate, it is safe to expect a concur- rence of views between the secretary of the treasury on this as upon all other questions relating to the currency, so that congress and the country will not have to choose between conflicting rec- ommendations. What is most to be hoped for from Comptroller Lacey are such practical veforms in the adminis- tration of his office as will render it more useful than it has been for a num- ber of years. A TIRED PRESIDENT. President Harrison has been in office forty-five days, and already the wear upon him is greater than he would have experienced in so many months from the work of his profession. This is not due to the labor incident to the legiti- mate duties of the executive office, but to the ess, persistent, and more or less oxasperating pressure of the office-seckers. Very likely no presi- dent has ever encountered a greater or more aggressive host of place hunters than has overrun the national capital during the past six weeks, and if Presi- dent Harrison bad entered upon his official duties without having exper- ienced any of the debilitating effocts of along and arduous mpaign he must still have suffered from the strain he has since baen subjected to. But for months before the election, General Harrison was in an almost uninterrupted whirl of activity of the most exhausting kind, and evon afterwards, until the day of his inauguration, he found little respite, so that when he assumed the duvies of oflice he was much in need of rest. All the exacting ordeal that he had passed, however, was hardly more than play to that which he subse- quently encountered and has since heen bravely, though with steadily declining vitality, battling against. It is, there- foxe, not difticult to credit the reports that come from Wushington of the men- tal and physical wenriness of the presi- dent, and to appreciate the urgeut ne- cessity for his taking a period of rest and quiet if he would escupe complete prostration. Everybody will agree that it 1s desi- rable to protect the president against the hungry horde of office seckevs, All intelligent men have some aporecia- tion of the severity of the. hardships to which every chiefl exceutive of the na- tion is subjected by the ravenous army of place hunters. They uaderstand, also, that the time of the president thus taken up must be at the expeunse of other governmental affairs. But how shall he be protected? Office secking can not be prevented by legislation, It is the right of every American citizen to apply for a place in the public service and to obtain it if he can do so, and President Harrison has said himself that the de- sire to hold office under the govern- went is legitimate and houorable. Noither can the president, with due re- gard for the relation of his office to the people, and with an honost de- siro to deal fairly with all in mak- ingappointments, refuse to hear those who can present a just claim to his at- tention. Doubtless the framers of the constitution, could they have foreseen to what vast proportions the appointing power would attain, would have dis- tributed it so as to give the executive less responsibility in this particular, but since they lacked this prevision the executive must bear his burden. Pos- sibly the time will come when changes in the administration of the government by the succession of parties will. be fol- lowed by fewer changes in the public offices, but the trend at present does not promise an early realization of this. Meanwhile there seems nothing for the president to do but to find rest and rej cuperation by running away from his persecutors as often as he practically can, to some secluded place where they can not conveniently reach him, —_—_— SENATORIAL DISCOURTESY. Senator Manderson has a peculiar way of his own for waylaying political wdversaries and people who do not cringe and bow before him., While he has always been a great stickler for senatorial courtesy, he never thought of senatorial courtesy when dealing with his colleague, ex-Senator Van Wyck. During the four years in which Man- derson and Van Wyok represented Ne- braska on the floor of the senate, Mr. Manderson’s private secretary, Ham, kept firing volleys of slander and abuse from the ambush of the senator’s com- mittee room at Van Wyck, through Omaha and Lincoln dailies in their ‘Washington correspondence. The sen- ator professed not to know anything about this discourtesy, and assured Van Wyck that he had no knowledge of this cowardly method of assassina- tion of character, but it was kept up to the end, and the senator did not exhibit courtesy enough to order his hired bushwhacker to desist. And now we have another sample of senatorial courtesy and political chiv- alvy from the same quarter. Out of the senatorial committee-room at Wash- ington a perfect shower of Parthian arrows are fired through the Omaha Herald at ex-Senator Saunders, and, in- directly, even at President Harrison. A senator who never ceases in vaunting his stalwart republicanism, using a democratic paper to strike down a life- long republican like Alvin Saunders, who, at the head of the Iowa delegation voted for Abraham Lin- coln in the convention of 1860; was the war governor of Nebraska throughout the rebellion, and served in the national senate six years, is a spec- tacle that can hardly inspire public re- spect for senatorial courtesy. A fair specimen of the utter disregard of common courtesy due from one gen- tleman to another, to say nothing of senatorial courtesy, is the following dis- patch to the Omaha Herald, which bears all the ear-marks of Senator Manderson’s personal dictation, and which everybody who has met the sen- ator recently, will readily recognize as his utterances: WasniNGToy, April 17.—[Spocial to the Herald.]—All the Nebraska delegation have left for home except Senator Manderson, Senator Paddock and Congressman Taird. The assistant Nebraska delegation consist- ing of ex-Senator Saunders and ex-Senator Van Wyck remain on hand. Senator Saun- ders, who arrived in Washington with the presidential party and has stuck here since, continues to make himself very active in the matter of Nebraska appomntments and the postoflice fight, If there has been a day in which he has not buttonholed the president or called atsome department about Nebraska affairs with which he had primarily no con- cern, no one has been able to discover the fact. He scems to imagine that his connec- tion by marriage with the president’s family gives him an important right of consulta- tion on affairs for which the senators and congressmen are held responsible by their constituents, and he boasts of the large mail which he receives from oftice seekers and refers to the departments, Those more intimate than Senator Saunders with the Nebraska delegation do not hesitate to say that his performances have been very embarrassing, and that his assumption of importancs is, to say the least, extremely distusteful to the delegation. The first stroke of the ex-senator which sounded a discord- ant note was a virtual demand upon the delegation that he should receive the ap- pointment of collector of internal revenue for Nebraska, As the delegation had al- ready decided upon another man, the recom- mendation of Saunders was out of the ques- tion. They. however, called upon President Harrison and presented the name of the ex- senator as a candidate for the Utah commis- sion, which pays double the salary of a col- lectorship with byt half the work. It is said that Saunders was at first satisfied, but later, thinking a bird in the hand worth two in the bush, once more pushed his demands for the Nebraska collectorship. This time, rumor has it, he was flatly told that the delegation could not and would not recom- mend him for the position named, and that if theappointment was made it would be made over the heads of the delegation and on the president’s own responsibility, The ex-senator then is suid to have sub- sided for a day or two, when he bobbed up with Editor Rosewater in tow and for a fort- night besieged Secretary Windom's office daily with arguments against the Planters’ bouse postofice site and in favor ef Eigh- teenth and Farnam streets, near which he 18 said to own property. . Senator Van Wyck was called in as a contingent helper, but was early dropped as of no account by reason of his great personal unpopularity in Washington. Up to date, Saunders’ influence has not made itself felt at the white house. A number of the presi- dent's friends repel the idea of a kitchen cabinet and insist that President Harrison caunot be influenced in Nebraska matters ex- cept through the regular reprosentative channels and that the pledge given the dele- gation to the national convention at Chicago to the effect that Saunders should not be vermitted to over-ride the Nebraska senators and representatives, still holds good. For all this the ex-senator coutinues to outsit the Nebraska delegation at Washing- ton, to reccive and refer mail from ofice- soekers, to introduce Nebraskans at the do- partments and to dine and sup with the pres- ident. He is losing no weight and dropping none of his importance and is evidently con- tent to await developments which will show who is on top after all. Awong Nebraskans who know bim most and respect him least, E: he is given the sobriquet of *“Old Yow- Yow.” Was ever senatorial discourtesy carried to greater extremes! Have ex- senators lost the right to revisit Wash- ington? Avre they all barred from the privilege which American citizens THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY enjoy in common—to come and go where and ‘when they please? Have ex-sonators forfeited their right to visit the president or any members of the cabinet on any errand they may have? {s Senator Saunders to be excluded from the white house while Harrison is president, just because his daughter married Russel Harrison? Are rellec- tions to be ocast upon the president’s conduct if he gees fit to en tertain Gov- ernor Suunders as his guest? Isn’t this talk about Saunders at the white house very small business for a big senator to engage 1n? Nothing definite is known to outsiders about the so-called compact with the Nebraska delegation at Chicago to bot- tle up ex-Senator Saunders politically, but in view of the fact that the latter “was an out-and-out Harrison worker at Chicago, while the delegation was unanimously adverse, these references to violated compacts will hardly justify senatorial bushwhacking through dem- ocratic shotguns. RESPECTFULLY DECLINED. Another bombastic challenge has been issued to T BEE to compare circula- tions with a sheet that has scattered papers broadcast among people who do nos want them and refuse to pay for them. Tie BEE's circulation has been public for years. All the world knows exactly how many copies of each edition have been issued, whether the circulation fluctuates up or down. What possible purpose could be subserved in any com- pavison between a firmly established daily that ranks with the great news- papers of the country,and a concern that has never earned enough by ten thousand dollars a year to meet ex-~ penses and has utterly failed in its last experiment te reduce the heavy drain upon thie purse of its proprietor through a Sunday edition that has proved itself a flat failure, THE motor people announce their de- termination to lobby for the repeal of the ordinance requiring payment in ad- vance for pavements torn up. They claim that the ordinance is oppressive and unjust, because it takes from the street car companies large sums of money which are needed for exten- sions, while property owners are given ten years to pay their assessments. There is some justice in the claim. Street car companies should be given equal privileges with owners of abut- ting property in paying taxes. Instead of exacting the full amount in aavance, a bond should be required, binding the compuanies to pay annually their share of the cost. It is unfair to exact the full cost of pavement laid one or more years before the street is occupied by railways, A fair and equitable adjustment could be made by dividing the cost into tenths, and de- ducting one-tenth for every year or fraction of a year in which the pave- ment is used before the tracks are laid, and annually pay the proportion of the cost thus determined. The money re- ceived from this source can be set aside as a special fund for ropaving or re- pairing the respective districts. In this way it will prove beneficial to the property-owners and street car com- panies alike. PAUL VANDERVOORT has at last been pensioned off with an appointment as superintendent of mails at Omaha, with a salary of sixteen hundred dollars a year. The office itself has been created for his special benefit through the per- sistent efforts of Senator Manderson. Its duties, as we understand them, will consist of keeping track of the mail sacks between the depots and postotfice. From general superintendent of the railway mail service of the United States down to overseer of the mail-pouch handlers and postal wagon drivers is very much like a descent from general superintendent of the Union Pacific railway to head janitor and superintendent of head- quarters cuspidors. Vandervoort is notoriously unfit for any position in the public se 0, but the creation of the office may be of some benefit in oxpedi- ting the mails. General Vanderbum wiil be on probation, and if ne redeems himsell by strictly attending to the wansfer of local mails, nobody will com- plain. If he resumes his old ways he will have to make way for a better man. THERE is no reason in the world why our principal suburban streets, soon to be covered with electric stroet railways, should be disfigured by unsightly poles. An ordinance, recently passed, regu- lating the erection of poles and wires, provides that iron poles of an ornamen- tal shape and pattern shall be etected except in districts outside of the busi- ness portion of the city. Just what the council intended by this ordinance is hard to tell. If it means that within the business center only iron poles are to be erected a palpable mistake has been made. If ornamental poles are to be erected on any streets, surely they should be om our main resident thoroughfares, for vhe reason that the poles are to be permanent. Whereas on the busingss:streets, the poles are likely to bo temporary, and will be cut down atno distaft aay, together with the forest of telagraph and telephone masts, The coapcil should amend the ordinance in guestion, or make it more specific, in order to cover the residence streets before the work of erecting poles begins. rm—— THE American consul at Marseilles, in a report to the state department just made public, gives a very satisfactory account of the resnlts of replanting with American vines the destroyed vine- yards of France. This has been most extensively done in southern France, where the ravages of the phylloxera were most destructive, and it has been found that the American vine success- fully resists the attacks of the iusect. The result is that the vineyards of France have been restored to nearly their normal productive capacity. It is also stuted that American wines are steaaily and rapidly growing in favor abroad. ———e————— Tng telegraph and electric light companies of New York City have ap- parently folded their hands while the work of cutting down the poles is being APRIL 19, 1839. vigorously prosecuted by Mayor Grant. It is the manifest purpose of the vari- ous companies to fnconvenience the public as much as possible. The .result isthat many quarters of tho city are plungea in darkness, while newspaper and brokers’ offices are doprived of ditect telegraphio communication. Within the proscribed district of New York, the city is sufficiently supplied with subways, so that the various com- panies have no excuse but their own stubbornness for not using them in place of poles. There can be no al- ternative for them but to submit to the inevitable and place their lines in the underground conduits. MONDAY last, the closing day of the Ohio legis!ature, was signalized by the passage of a bill providing for a tax of one dollar & mile on all railroads in the state. The bill requires that euch rail- road company, at the time of making its annual! report to the commissioner, shall pay into the state treasury one dollar for each mile of road operated in the state. A strong effort was made in the late Ohio legislature, to secure logislation regarding the railroads for the benefit of the state treasury and the people, but the above was about all that was accomplished. The railroads are hardly less of a power in Ohio than in Pennsylvania. ‘ Tue rvivalry of the street car com- panies for possession of the viaduets is a warning to the council against giving a monopoly to any one company. Every company should be given equal rights and privileges,and care should be taken to reserve control of the approaches. Viaduct franchises are valuable, as is shown by the tender of one thousand dollars by the Omaha street railway company. They should not be voted away for a nominal rental. By impos- ing a reasonable annual rental, and making them free to all companies accepting the terms, the city will secure a revenue sufficient for the maintenance of the structures. THE friendliness of Postmaster-Gen- eral Wanainaker toward the newspa- pers is alveady in notable contrast to the spirit shown by his predecessors regard- ing the press. Even so slight a matter as restoring the privilege to trainmen on other than mail trains of carrying newspaper correspondence, which was forbidden by the last administration, will be appreciated by the press gener- ally, and without doing the slightest in- jury to the postal service will be a posi- tive benefit to the public, The Place For Gould, Chicago Herald, Jay Gould says that New York is good enough for him.

How can they, use wire without the wire machine!” “Won't the binders in use now do tho work " “Notatall. The wire machines were dis- carded five orsix years ago.
