Since the Fran co-Prussian war
Prance has 'enjoyed a period of over 80
years of peace and prosperity, and is
to-day one of the richest of European
nations. Her population is between
80,000,000 and 85.000.000. The popula
tion of Massachusetts is about 2,860,000,
or less than one-tenth that of Prance.
The deposits in the savings banks of
Prance in 1891 amounted to 9780,000,000
while those in Massachusetts in 1898
reached 9528,544,076.

II. K. Dayton, of dreeler county,
has resigned his position as supervisor
of this county. This action substanti
ates the statements of Mr. Hoy pub
lished in Tnic Frontier a couple of
weeks ago. Mr. H. B. Kelly, a justice
of the peace of Fairview township, we
understand baa appointed himself to fill
the vacancy.
■--—
Dt'RiNo the campaign the democrats
told the people that their first work, if
given the power, would be to give
relief from the “terrible burdens” im
posed by the tariff. Now their leaden
say financial legislation must have pre
cedence. Still there are people who
really believe the democrats know what
they wish to do, or what they are going
to do. _ _
Senator Allen has notified the hun
gry office seekers of this state that he
will not have anything to do with the
distribution of patronage. It is report
ed however, that, according to the eter
nal fitness of things, no appointment
will be made in western Nebraska with
out the recommendation of William
Vinoent Allen. I
W. D. Mathews has retired from the
editorial chair of the O’Neill Frontier.
and is succeeded by King & Cronin, two
of Nebraska's brightest young news
paper men. They will keep The
Frontier up to the high standard of
the past. Doc will be missed by the
fraternity, but the chances are that be
will wander back to the fold before
many years pass away.—Butte Gazette.
The Bulletin of American Iron and
Steel Association says: "The superin
tendent of the bureau of immigration
has been officially advised that the
British government has released a dyna
miter named Galls, undergoing an 18
years’ sentsnce, on condition that he
will emigrate to the United States.
Instructions have been sect to all com
missioners of immigration to be on the
watch for Galls and return him if
caught."
A special from Lincoln to the Fre
mont Tribune last Monday has the fol
lowing to say of the bill designed to do
away with the township collectors:
'The bill for the abolition of town bol
lectors in counties under township
organisation is not as dead as has
hitherto been reported. On the infor
mation of Hepreaentative Krick, who
Introduced the measure, it was stated
that it was Indefinitely postponed.
This is not the case; the matter has been
referred to a special committee of five,
which will shortly report on the bill.
The committee held a meeting this after
noon to consider the matter, this being
the first meeting for that purpose.
There is some opposition to dis
pensing with the town collector and it
comes from the large counties like Holt,
where the facilities for getting to the
county seat to pay taxes are not so good
as for getting to the home of the town
collector for that purpose. The com
mittee hoped to amend Krick’s bill in
such a way that it would leave It option
al with the people of the county
whether the collector shall be abolished,
so that counties desiring to do away
'with that official could do so when a
majority of the people so decided; but
the committee found itself hampered in
the way of doing as it wished, and so it
will be reported with only a provision
for legalizing all fees taken- in the past
by county treasurers for receipting for
taxes turned over to them by town col
lectors. This is done to end a great
deal of litigation in the state brought
against treasurers who acted in good
faith. The town collectors will not be
abolished.”
The following are the rule* which
Cleveland will follow in the appoint
ment of official* during the next four
yean:
First—Incumbents will be retained in
office until their commissions expire,
unless there is .voluntary resignation.
When there is no commission fixing
tenure the efficient incumbent will serve
for four years from time of appointment.
Second—No one who held office under
the former Cleveland administration
wilt be again appointed to office, the
only exception being railway mail clerks
and post office .inspectors.
Third—No appointments will be madb
in states having spring state elections
until after such elections have occurred.
Fourth—All postmasters must divorce
themselves from privste business except
ing instances where in the fourth class
the pay is so small that the postmasters
will not give undivided time to the
po8tofflce.
Fifth—Appointments will not he made
upon magnitude of petitions of endorse
ment but the character, appearance and
evident fitness of the applicant for the
place must also be considered.
Sixth—As appointments are of an
executive and not a political character,
recommendations by primary elections
will not prevail.
Seventh—No exception will be made
to rule 3 in favor of applicants who
were removed from office by the last
administration before they had served
the full term of four years, no matter
how brief their service may have been.
Rule 1 does not apply to foreign mis
sions, to the higher grade of consuls and
to assistant secretaries and chiefs of
bureaus. It is intended, however, to
cover that vast class of patronage in
cluded in the poatofflce. internal revenue
and customs service. Rule 8 is flexible
and will be made to cover appointees
under the first Cleveland administration
who are still in positions outside of the
classified service.
