Mills of Uorslcana , Tex. , now a Unltod
States senator , has whetted his Unlfo for
twelve months for the scalp of Charlej
Krederlck Crisp of Americas , Un. It will ba
recalled thatwnon Crisp was mndn spoikor
hooald n poutloil debt to Springer of Illi
nois , by making him chairman of ways untl
moans , n position which public opinion ac
corded to Mr. Mill * . Speaker Urisp wont
further and offered Mills the chairman-win of
commerce , an luLonseiiuentlal place , which
the vanquished nsplrant foi1 the spoakonhlp
declined with thanks.
Mills regarded the tender as a well-nUmicd
Intuit , and It Is nrobablo that In such a con
dition ho was not oversensitive. Ho has
Blnccsaldhlft Jay would como mill Crisp
would go to grass. It is 'vull known tnnt
bpoaicor Crisp's plan for rotorming thu tarlll

majority of the democrats clccttd to the
1 Fifty-third congress , mill still moro impor
tant It Is not the plan of thu man wlio will go
into the whlto house on the -llti ot March
tiding upon iho pretext that tliuro must ho
a spcauer who Is In accord with Iho adminis
tration and his party upon the important
ubjoct of revising the tariff.
I'K'iiircil to llulcl G'rlsp.
Senator Mlllf nas for two U ays In Wash
ington boon organizing a raid upon Mr.
Crisp. Ilo has bcoti In consultation with
Mr. Bynuni of Indiana , who is his most nc-
tivo and ueturrained lieutenant , nnd shortly
n conference of thoold Milli standml : hearers
> vlll bo held for the purpose of agreeing upon
n real tariff reformer for the spcukershlp
who will bo pushed In opposition to Mr.
Crisp. As CrUn is a Hill man It Is taken for
granted that , Cleveland will advocate the
oloot'on of another man than Crisp to thu
tipoaUarship. The light will bo bittar and
determined , nnd it looks as though Mr.Crlsp
would have very hard sledding during thu
uoxt few months.
Mr. Wilson of West Virginia , who repre
sents the collegiate theories of free trade ,
has already been named to supplant
Springer as chairman of tbo ways and moans
committee in tbo next , house , but it now
Rooms probable that Mr. Wilson will be
soUctod ns tbo Mllls-Clovoluntl candidate for
npcakor. Mr. Wilson would , bo the meal
candidate of all the olotncnts of the democ
racy and of the larger olomcnt of the mug
wumps whom Mr. Cleveland has pleased by
Ins speeches at tboMunhattan cluu Jinnee In
Now York nnd by Ins subsequent lottnr ,
warning ofllce seekers not to bother him
whilebn was shooting ducks.
- Mr. Wilson Is the host renresentatlvo of
the so-culled "scholar In politics'1 that the
democratic partj contains , and as the surer
Billion ol superior intellectuality ntnonu
the tlnkerors of the tnrllt Is thought
to bo popular by the democratic manager !
the fuel that Mr. Wilson ha ;
nctunlly declined within n year a college
presidency only adds to tils availability as i
candidate' ( , iho spcakcrsnlp. His candl
daoy would mo-in tbo abandonment of tin
amendment of the tariff by detached , bill'
auch as those passed by the last house undo
the Crisp-Catchlngs policy and sunati
finance commlttco , nnd would substitute i
general free trade assault along tno wholi
line , including not only such raw material :
ns wool , but cutting down the duties on stec
rails , cutlery and manufactured woolous , aiu
involving , In short , s radical reduction of tin
tariff schedule. It is In this idea that tin
opposition to Speaker Crisp's ro-ulrction wll
llnd its strength , and it only rmnalus for Mr
CleveUnd to abandon uuclt shooting foi
politics to show how much force iho movement
mont will havo.
To Hot the 1'nrty Tiieotliur.
Sorao far seeing Cleveland democrats bavc
proposed a plan by which they hope to ge
their party In congress together on a tarif
bill. It Is to have tbo treasury oftlclals iv
Boon as they are installed under the liov
president begin the framing of "un admlr
islrntlon tariff bill , " tbe work to bo unrtt
tno general direction of President Clovoian
and the loading democrats lu congress. Whe
conercss comes together the measure is 10 b
agreed upon m caucus , reported to the hous
through the committee on ways and mean
nod passed with as little alteration ns poss
ble. Tlioy believe this will bo the only wa
In which the party can bo gotten togethr
upon the tariff and that it will insure hat
uiouy and speedy action.

going on snc'ioisrully in Ibis bureau , and

ofllcluncy c porn-alt of his oftlclal work
dmwn by hlnuolf. Important'defects to bo
remedied are :
"l lrst Eich aivlslou or noting chief
should bo required to record each clerk's
porformancc at the close of each day nnd al
low Iho clerks to sen this dally record , to
avoid complaints , correct records nnd excite
emulation ,
"Second Provision should bo made for an
adequate expression by tbo head of the
bureau of his responsibility as lentil chief.
Tnls becomoi all the more iuiporUnt since
the competitive system , as now practiced ,
absolutely excludes heads of bureaus frotn
participating or making appointments und
promotions in their bureaus. This vital de
fect causes them to record thobo great bet
terments of tno clerical service contemplated
In the department circular * us evils to be
borne.
"Third Competitive examinations for pro
motion , us conducted lu the two or three
held in this bureau , have given very unsatis
factory results. Tneso results commend the
system ' .o neither superiors nor to the clorl-
ca' force in this bureau.
"Fourth The public scrvlco does not , as
prime qualities , demand That omployos
should be uulck-wittoO , of all round intolji-
gcnco , alilo to five Instructions on depart
ment and general matters ; it requires
cfllciont cloricil aervlco. 'Iheroforo
thn monthlv record ot ofllctenoy is greatly
superior to the haphazard results of the
competitive examination , which command
nn respect of chiefs or subordinates in this
ofticc. Hut this roconl of oflicicncy only
counts for20 percent , while the competitive
results count for 50 pur cent , in spite of all
their defects trom chances of competitive
inequality of opportunity , some times
occasioned by length of service npd of ex-
clustvo attention to olllco work. It woula be
vastly better for'tbo service nnd the compet
itive examinations to reverse tliobo ratios
nnd make tbo efficiency repord count SO pec
cent and thc'i-ojulta of the examination tc
count SO Doruur.i. In any event , pronur pro
vision for the exorcise of the best judgment
of the responsible head of the bureau sbould
bo made.
"Neither the Interests of the public service
nor of true economy are observed by In
justice. But injustice results to twenty-turn
clerks of tbo copyist crude in this bureat
from the requirement that all promotion !
shall ba by successive grades in oacl
bureau ; nonce , copyists must at lirst b <
promoted to the j 1,000 grade. Now u
this bureau there are only two clerkships o
? 1,000 each ; wherefore the $ ' . ' 00 clerkship
must wait for one of those to become vacant
To remedy tnls state of things I would rcc
ommcnd that iM ) bo added to the approprla

of these copyist clerks , so that tboro will b

bv the democrats against an uxtra soislon of
the VMfty-tUlrd con'grcis for tbo roponl of

that tbo party is going to have a regular cat

Senator Ciorman has already made haste to '

They will have shown their selfishness by

Ilo\r Nebraska Ilrmucrut * I'lcuroil.
When the campaign was opening six
months ago it was held that'tho bounty
placed upon doraestlo sucnr , to en
courage the development of tbo in
dustry In this country , must bo ro-
poaVed. Even the democrats from Nebraska ,
the great and promising beet sugar state ,
advocated the repeal of the sugar bounty.
Now como Representative Cntchlngs of
Mississippi and the members from Louisi
ana , and they declare that the bounty on
sugar mu t bo repealed , buthu old duty on
sugar , wbiuti is as high us the bounty , but
which comes from the people instead of thu
public treasury , as does the bounty , must bo
restored. In other words they want the pro
tection of an import duty , but want the
money to como from the consumers of sugar
instead o ! from the consumer * of luxuries.
Possibly tbo Nohraika democrats could
ufford to strlKo down their infant industry
by voting to ropsal tbo bounty , but the c.ino
susriir producers of the south demand pro
tection by r-oimposltlon of the old duty. It
is safe to predict that within a year and a
half sugar will be as high as It was three
years ago , and the beet sugar factories will
bo closed.
Tbo only evidence that has been shown UD
to this tlmo of u disposition to bo t > acritlcing
of solf-intoroits co'mes from Texas. The
delegation from that state are to lead out
In the work of placing wool upou thu free

feed his sheep the year around , and who has
open prairie belonging to the government to
turn his sheep upon and feed the your
around without cost or trouble , will simply
have to quit raising sheao except for their
Hush.
The farmer Is going to have the rasp
driven into him from another direction in
the creation of the new tariff bill. In the
recent campaign the democrats told the
laborer and mobcanto that the present tariff
law \vas not only for the manufacturer
alone , and made tbo rich richer and the poor
poorer , hut U compelled the laborer to pay
moro for the necessities of life.
Word comes here from Homestead and
other great labor centers that when it comes
to make up tbo now tariff bill the laborers
and mechanics will send representatives
hero to sea that the duties imposed upon ar
ticles of food are absolutely repealed. In
northern Now York the laboring man has to
pay from 10 to 30 per cent moro lor eggs ,
potatoes , Hour , moat , etc. , than they ca i be
bought for Just across iho line in Canada ,
They want choapar articles of fooo. and arc

OMMH , Nov. 20. To tbo Editor of Tun
BED : Having noticed several statements in
your paper concerning ray trials in the police
court I desire to state my sldo of tbo case.
It has not been proved and It Is not true that
I am maintaining a nillsanco on tuy property
on the cor.ior of Twenty-fifth and ( burning
streets. Tbo cuso is simply this : My vaults
were condemned , not because they are in an
unsanitary condition , but because they are
uot connected , vith the sowor. I deny the
authority of the Board of Health to compo
mo to connect with tbo sewer as long us I
comply with the rules and regulations gov
erning such cesspools unil vaults. Tbo fact
that a sewer passes by my place doesn't
nmko my cesspools iuiy moro of a nuisance
than others allowed to bo used all over the
city.
If "equality before the law" moans any-
bing , it : ncans that the ability to make
hose improvements cut.s no llcure , because
ho poor man has got to comply with the law
as well ns the rich olie. whether ho is able
o do jo or uot. and I claim ttmt the only way
t can bo done ( if It ban be done at nil ) is
hat tbo city make. thu improvements and
charge it against the property , us B done in
filling up lots , sloping banks , etc.
It is true that I was , lined fill and costs
u two cases , but ono ol those was concern-
ng property located on Fifteenth and
California streets , for which I am
simply in-cut. 1 was 'served with n , notice to
111 up and abandon the tuo of four vaults ,
ocutod on said property , or propotly con
nect the same with tbo sewer , within , five
lays from the date of the notice. Not com
plying with the said uotlco I was arrested
and requested to plead to the charge of main
taining u nuisanco. I pleaded that being only
an agent 1 bad no authority to abandon the
use of said property or any part thereof and
could uot make any extensive- and costly im-
irovemonts without instructions from tno
owner. I was found quilt } ' , fined S-U ) und
costs und to stand committed until paid.
That proposition sromod EO preposterous
and at tbe same time so novel tuat I could
tot resist the temptation of seeing the
majesty of tuiJ law toke its course. I ro-
'uscd to pay tbo line and as a consequence
[ was committed to Jail.
It is possible that this is the law , but I am
not Bail-tied on this point yet , and will not
bo until tbo higher courts of this state have
said so.
In connection with this matter 1 would
suggest to the Board of Health the propriety
of serving ono of tnoir dvo days notices on
tself to abate the nuisance oxistinc in the
city jail. 1 have owned many cesspools in
Dmaho , but I never vet hud ono that was so
( linklncr foul us the cell in tbo city jail in
which 1 was imprisoned last Monday.

HER MAIDEN BALLOT.

Near where the Denver university
building breaks the horizon line out n't
University Iloltrhls there Is a .voting
lady who is boltig lionized just now ( or
tv ( oat unique in the history of woman-
Kind. Miss Sudio Lloyd is not a heroine ,
exactly , ami blushes violently when any
too enthusiastic admirer wants to place *
her on a pedestal and ofTor up Incense.
"Why , It's nothing , " she exclaims.
"Any one could have done It if they hud
the rlplit. All I did was to got o'ti tlio
car at the Union depot , " and then she
tells how she did It.
Miss Hoyd Is far from being the con
ventional nowttpupor beauty , snvs the
Denver Republican. .Slio is decidedly
pretty , with that style of beauty which
remind1 * tlio college lad of his pot sister
back home. Somewhat polite , with big ,
blue eyes , ( air hair , ami u ti-oah and lOsy
complexion.
And Mlhs JJoyd , just turned 21 , Is the
maiden who rode 1 It ) mlles and return
to cast hoi1 maiden vote. Shu has broth
ers at her homo in Cheyenne , Wyo. ,
and she has grown Up among them a
brother's sister sharing their joys ami
hopes and ambitions. She Is a student
now at the university ,
"Not a bit."bays Miss Boyd , opening
her big blue eyes very wide , "of course ,
It doesn't seem strange to mo to have
gone to Cheyenne to vote. I feel about
it , just as I fancy my brothers felt.
Women have been voting in Wyoming
for the past twenty years , so I have
grown up in the midst ol it and it docs
not seem any dllTuront , I fancy , to mo
than It would to a man.
"Tho central committee wrote to my
father and culled his attention to my
having the right of sulVrago by virtue
of my being HI yours , and they wanted
mo to como up and vote.
"Of conrsoT have thought of the mat
ter for some years , ami , ves , longed for
the time to come when 1 could vote.
"I scarcely thought of the matter on
my way up. I took the nisrht train ,
slept nearly all the way. and when T
reached homo and the tlmo cnmc around
1 went down to the polls with my fatlior
and voted. Wo have the Australian
ballot system there and all the attendant
bccroey , bo I need not have had my
father go with mo , but I preferred it
and ho wont.
"IIcnv did 1 cast my fir.st vote ? Why ,
for Harrison , of course ! I just put u
eros-s under the insigni.i of the party
and dropped the ticket in the ballot
box. "
"Was there any special significance
attached to your particular vote that
the committee sent for you ? " ono of the
aforesiiid admirers asked her.
"No. indeed. I can explain that very
easily by tollltfg you that there in u
largo Catholic element in Ohoyonno
which blended with the democratic
vote , and wo. were very anxjous to boat
them , and that is why they wanted
every available vole. "
"And you fcol now that your efforts
in the interest of n hotter government
were wasted by the loss of the election:1"
"Indeed , 1 do not , for sueli is not the
case. True , wo lo&t the national elec
tion , but wo carried our county und also
cot the Harrison electors , and so I do
feel that my \ oto counted and that
neither the time nor money was thrown
away. "
"i'ou are a born republican , thenV .
"Yes , indeed , a born republican with
a variety of prohibitionist mixed with
it.
"Cut , " concluded Miss Boyd , with the
tender touch of womanhood , "you must
remember that in addition to the politi
cal motives which took mo so far to veto
there wore others just us strong , and
maybe stronger. "
"Now , they wore "
' Yes , I was to BOO my mother and
father and brothers , and the combined
temptation was too strong for any ordi
nary woman to rcalst. and so I cast my
maiden vote with , porhans , moro pleas
ure than most girls have done , even in
Wyoming , where women love politic * . ' '

"Tho way the Marquis do Moses was
skinned , buncoed and generally done up
out in Dakota was pretty tough , " said
A. L. Dowk-r , to a Chicago Times re

the marquis bought 10,000 head of
