Commissioner Morgan asked for an {n- crease in the appropriation for Indian tion, and he demonstrated very clenrly and convineingly that this is necessary in order to carry out such a system of education among the Indians as it spould be the policy of the govern- ment to promote.

It isa delicate and embarrassing question from the point of view of spediency, and to add to its per- | plexing character comes the suggestion | of the Pifty-second con- grosshaving been already elected in complinnce with the requirements of ex- isting election laws—Mr. Hermann of Oregon—it will be a rather delicate tas to frame a national election law, to into effect the noext congressional elections, which will have the appear- ance of equity on its face. A federal go clection law must operate equally in all congressional districts. 1t must be general in its nuture, Dut the Ore- gon congre sman already elected cannot be set to one side and the expressed choice of the electors of thalstate ¢ not be ignored, while on the other hand it would be unfair and probubly uncon- stitutional to subjeet other clections for members of the F econd congress to | restrietions and conditions which did not prevail at the election of the Oregon congiressman, There is clearly some force fn this suggestion. Republicans in congress will do well to acquaint themsclves as thoroughly as possiblo with the sentiment of their party at large before deciding what they will do regarding this question, and we have little doubt that if they will do this they will find there is no general sym- pathy with the proposed legislation. The masses of the party may take interest in the subject than it merits. but it is hardly questionable that those | who have given it any serious consider- | ation are very wevally not in favor of legislation which would in- evitakly have the effect to creat tional irvitation and prove a source of aggravated political discord. The states- men at. Washington should understand that the people do not want any new irvi- sec- tants to strife and contention. What they desire is legislation that will in- vigorate industry, enlarge prosperity, and reliove them of unnec bur- dens, and'the representatives who shall | be suceessful in securing them this will have the best and suvest claim to their approval. sary, THE BUSINESS SITUATIO.

THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL. The house committee on Indian af- fairs, in cutting the appropriation for the Indian bureau down to six million dollars, the smallest sum allowed for this sorvice in two years, has not given the proper consideration tothe recommenda- tions of Commissioner Morgan and to what is required for adequately prosecut- ing the work of Indian development and have progress.

D PUBLIC TRUSTS Disreputable Sohemes Which Are Employed to Obtain Government Appointments. SPECIMEN PIECE OF DIABOLISM. A Deep Laid Plot to Ruin the Char- acter of a Postmaster in the Interest of a Designing Scoundrel. Wasitisoroy, June 4.—[Special to Tie Ber,]—What gauntlets some men run to get appointments! A western senator who has frequently run for oftices filled by the people, who has received federal appointments, and who hins more than once been chosen for the upper branch of congress by legislatures, re- cently said to me: “It is a severer test of character and gen- cral fitness to got favorat the hands of the federal government, than the people at the polls—a very much more testy ordenl.” And then he went on to tell me how and why. Popularity is everything in seeking ofjee at the poll little in a race here. Purity of cnaracter and fitness form one link in the chaty the polls; it is reall, which draws : uccess at a sccondary considera- tion, Here it is everything, A blatant dem- wogue, a rank scoundrel, an incompotent, may and often does get place in Washington, but ho -does so under false vretenses, The best men are sometimes defeated in thoeir ambition, but mot so often us at the ve to stand ntment, and he ary about select- Ster polls. One or'a few more men the respousibility of an app: or they ave very apt to be ¢ ing a inan before his cha 13 KNOWN TO BE GOOD, Wo all know how it is at the polls. The person responsible for an appointment stands in the light of a guardian or bondsman of the appointee, And the one who lnows the man to be appointed and knows him best is the one who should and geucrally s responsi- ble Political hosses and district organizers are familiar with many of the s cmployed to defeat, undesirablé: fany of thewm are bold, open, and require all sorts of conr- others covert, unmanly and disreputabie, But it remains for thosé who seck federal oftices to invent deviltry to defeat vivals. 1t only the filos of the departments could bo calied to the requisition of the romancer and the funds of information possessed by con- nen were utilized, the yellow baclked quarter century since would pate interest compared with what it would be sy to produce from truth itself. The sen - tor above quoted is a member of the scnate committee” on postofilces and post road: ny papers ave filed by private i public officiuls to defeat th confirmation of nominations of postmaster: and where ms 1. statements are madc which disclose all varieties of diabolical plots to defeat the ambition of men and women who have been successful aspirants. Ho tells me of a struggle for a postmastership in a well known western eity which illustrate the extremes to which men will go in th determination to vule or ruin. 1t I could rc member it us he told it and_ had the space to record the details it would form an almost blood-curdling romance. A male person, who is beyond doubt a deep dyed scoundrel, conceived the idea that if ho could secure the removal of the postmaster i his city he himself might get the appoint- ment.” So he FORMED A CONSPIRACY to bring about the removal. To his aid he called a woman of the town and_a couple of young men who wanted positions in the office. The woman's services were bought with money. It was her part of th acy to invieglo the postmaster into son compromising position, when there was to be a public cxpose, und his resigmation or ~ removal from office would fol low as a maiter of course. There were di- vers mectings of tho four c ors and reports as to progress. ofticer of character and refused to fall into the pit. A woman of respectablo standing but a_freo lover, was called into requi- sition. Tho additional acquisition was regarded as a success for s soon conceived the idea of charging the post- master with collecting all the letters received for women of questionable reputation and making personal delivery, for the purposes of his wicked ends. Having set the machinery in motion fox the destruction of the postmaster and the bringing about of a vacancy in the office, th man put into _cireulation_cortain report’s in- tended to frighten him into a resignation. Immediatoly that there became a prospect for a vacancy another candidate entered tho field for the appointment. His popularity scon gave him first place in public estimation 1t now becamo necessary to wreck this man's reputation,crush his chunces for success and a SECOND CONSPIRACY WAS FORMED, Immoral character was alleged. Women of the city were added to the list of conspirators whose ability was beyond question when diabolism wis necessary to success, Afida- vits were procured stiowing the disreputi- ble character of the new aspirant, among them being one to the eflect thet the afiant was engaged to be married to a well known and reputable lady but upon learning that the postofiice aspirant was upon familiar terms with her the engage- ment was terminated. Such a atement would of course ruin the reputation of the woinan, but moncy or position secured it. Re- ports were civeulited us the conspiracy began o work upon the postmaster that the post- nove the of- master general was about to ficor. A petition wus cire t citizens for the appointment of the spivator, and a special point nade o se- cure the signatures of all the ministers in the city. As he had denounced the postmuster ani the leading applicant on account of tho reports in circulation affecting their moral character the ministers took such conduct as prima facie evidence of morality and at- tached their names to tho paper. He ceeded with marded success in scenring omuendations on the ground of u blemished character and eminent fitness, character was extolled to the azuve skies, Meanwhilo he met nightly his despicable men aud women engaged in” the plot. It was a game as bold and physically courageous us it was murderons and damnable. 1t took but a short time now for the case to get iuto the hands of the congressman, who being a republican would be asked by the postmastorgeneral for a recommendation be: fore making a change i tho ofice. The en- dorsement of the congressman was rofused to all aspirants; but the ator cou- ceived tho notion that he would enlist the sympathics of the postmastergeneral in the good work of turning out bad and putting in good men, and 50 he proscuted his recommen- dations of citizens and ASKED DIRECTLY FOR TITE PLACE, 0 postmaster general notified the con gressman, who at once said ho would visit the city and investigate the matter. To kecp the congressman_away from the city wl the postofiice excitement was running high became absolutely necessary for the success of tho conspiraior. So he hired a friend of the congressman to go to the latter's home and keep him in “tow" till the tracks of the conspirators were sufliciently o s to be not. discernible or the postmaster gencral could be induced to aet upon the evidence in his hands—a huge pile of aflidavigs, taken in profound secrecy, wnd intended®o destroy every vestige of reputation of the two op- poncnts.
