From Our Oicn Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1, 1001. I TL* President has again proved his j great admiration for the Civil Service Commission and its work by selecting for a post on it Representat.lv? olden burg, of Illinois, who has repeatedly voted against the service, and, failiug to destroy it by other nu-ans, voted only a year ago, to cut off all appro priations for its support, thereby starv ing to death the Commission to which he has now been appointed. In. mak ing this appointment, the President did not take into account Mr. Roden burg's qualifications for the place, nor consider the interests of the public service. His only idea was to find a job for a member of the House of Rep resentatives who was defeated for re election and to relieve himself from embarrassment by reducing the num ber of candidates for the St. Louis Ex position Commissioaership. Mr. l?o don burg's character may bo judged from the fact that ho was a follower of John B. Tanner when he went into Congress and a follower of Shelby M. Cullom when he came out. The down fall of Tanner and the re-election of Cullom may not have had* anything to do with I. is political change, but Cul lom seem . to have been his warmest supporter for the position to which \?p has been appointed, and Mr. Roden burg will now use his influence to pro mote the interests of the Cullom wing of the Republican party in Illinois by manipulation of the civil service law. or by other means. If he was sincere in voting against the Civil Service Commission,, his character und dispo sition may bo judged by his acceptance of responsibility to enforce a law he does not believe in and to promote a system to which he is opposed. Scarcely less reprehensible are tho President's alleged Selections for the Commisaionerships of tho St. Louis Exposition. In providing for these, it was undoubtedly tho intention of Con gress that the Commission should properly represent the great industries of the countr", but there was nothing to prevent tue President from turning it into an old man's home. Nine Com missioners are to be appointed, and if the list agreed upon at present is cor rect, only two con be considered rep resentative men, and only . three are qualified for tho duties they aro to perform, the rest simply being alleged statesmen ont of a job. The danger of giving ono man the power over revenue legislation-to say nothing of other things-that ia pos sessed by President McKinley is shown in the recent gos oil scandal at Havana. The tariff . schedules for Cuba. are amended annually to meet the varying requirements .of trade and ' industrial development. Daring the past, year a tax of $1.40 per 100 kilos has been col lected upon all crude oils including crudo petroleum ueed at the gas works. An exclusive order recently issued by the President td go into effect April 1st. provides s, reduction of fifty per cent of the old rates, thus materially promoting the consumption of crude petroleum at gas works. These changes in the tariff schedules are made by the President upon the re commendation .of Governor-General Wood, but nothing is known at the Department .of the reasons which in fluenced bim to suggest such a sweep ing cut. While no doubt is admitted at the War Department in regard to General Wood, still nasty stories are coming up in regard .to blackmail al leged to have been extracted from gas companies in Cuba to securo a reduc tion in the tax upon crude petroleum. It is charged that one company in Havana has been ? compelled to pay $40,000 for iuflnenco to' secure a revis ion and reduction of tho rates. There has been scandal connected with tho crudo oil section, of tho .Cuban.tariff since tho United States took charge of the customs. > r Tho Census frauds in Maryland grow blacker and blacker as investigation proceeds. It now appears that they were mado in nearly every county in Representative Mudd's district; and that each county was given ? su flt ci en t unwarranted increase to ontitlo it to an additional Representativo in tho Legis lature. Had tho count gone through as taken, Representative Mudd's dis trict would have had an undue weight in tho Legislature, suflicien? to endow western Maryland with greater influ ence than Baltimore, and lo. make very probable Mr. M nd d's election to the Renato to succeed Mr. Wellington. Tho 'flagrancy of tho increases is evi dent when it is known-that the State Constitution provides that counties with 18,000 population shall have two two delegates in the State Legislature; with more than 18,000 and less than 55,000, thrco delegates; with moro than I 28,000 and less than 40,000, four dele gates: v/ith moro ..than 40,000'and lesa than 05,000, ?vo delegates, and all over 55,000, six delegates. Through these frauds .St.- -Mary's and St. Charles Conn ties, which had each Tess than 4&0G0, imputation,, Jmd therefore two delegates were giv^'18,10 and 18,816 respectively, gaining a delegate each SI tho Legislature. Anne Arundel onnty, which had only about 85,000 population, and therefore only four delegates, was given 40,018, gaining one delegato in the Legisla Vire. lt has practically boen decided th tt Philander C Kuox, of Pittsburg, w li i ntf r President McKinley's Cabfoet as Attorney General.

The State board of dispensary direc tors have granted tho applications of five liquor distilling companies to operate distilleries in cities of 20,000 population or over in this State. The board simply granted all the applica tions tiled. Tho privileges aro not to become effective until ten per cent, ot tho proposed capital has been in vest ted, and this must bo done within 16 days. Thus year by year liquor is entrenching itself more deeply in the State. A treaty of peace has been arranged with those commuuities whore tho li quor element is dominant, practically recognizing their rights to nullify tho law. There has never been any denial of tho fact that blind tigers are virtually exempt from molestation, provided only they get their supplies through tho dispensary. Tho most important restrictive pro visions of tho law, inserted at tirst to catch suckers, were never enforced and were soon repealed, and nearly all re strictive features which remain aro ig nored in practice, with the knowledge nud consent of tho State board. Wo should not be surprised in tho least, if two or three years should bring about the condition of allowing any person to Boll liquor, if ho eau make it appear that tho stuft' has once passed through both branches of thc dispensary and paid the regular toll to each of them. The liquor peoplo have the busiucss all their own way now. They are not only running tho dispensary, but aro using it to control everything else polit ical. Of course it will require a good deal of caurago for temperance people who have been deceived into giving tho scheine their support to acknowledge their error, but tho sooner they repudi ate the ridiculous humbug tho easier ia will be.-Cheater Lantern. Sons and Grandsons. CHATTANOOGA, Marchai).- Tho N. B. Forrest camp of Confederate veter ans is preparing a new constitution and by laws which will allow nil sons and grandsons of Confederate veterans to become members of the organization. An effort will be made to have tho convention at Memphis in May adopt tho plan so as to make it a national law of tho organization. It is thought that this, if adopted, may merge tho organization of tho Sons of veterans into the United Con fenerate Veterans and dissolve tile in dividuality of the sons' camps. - It is said the railroads entering Charleston have practically agreed to build a union passenger station for which there has been a demand for many years.

To tho Editor of tho State : Tn his "History of Spartanburg County" (which is a work of great value along both historical and genealogical lines) Dr. J. fi. O. Landrum do votes an arti cle to tho prominent Karlo family. Speaking of Baylis Earle, ono of the founders of this family in South Caro lina, Dr. Landrum informs us that he was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in August, 17!M, und in April, 1757, ho married Mary Princo, who was born in December, 1741. lt will bo seen that Mr. Earle was 22 years old and his wifo was only 12 at the time of their marriage. This couple were tho paren ts of no less than fourteen children -a list ia given of them and by com paling dates, wo find that Mrs. Earle was barely 14 when her oldest child (a girl) was Dorn. She wasnot'qutto 16 w'.?c her second child was. born. The child was Samuel Karlo who at tho youthful ago of 10 entered the Revolu tionary array, where ho.ryas a? gallant soldier. Afterwards hp?ty?camn DJyni inenv in politics and fidrven ni con gress. When her fOn?leCTibrcnikl?was born, Mrs. Karlo was 4$yowoold..rTJiiB child, like tho first, wjw^aujugbter. A remarkable family ormHy^pWtriireftal size, was that, all oL^haw, }*ixh ^trfic exception, lived to bo maraca, and the oldest child was riA?ned?twice. Mrs. Baylis Karlo died in 1807, her husband died early in 1825, nt the venorabio age of 90 years. ' . lt will bo eeen-f rom these statements that Mrs, Baylis Earle was rr lady with an interesting family history. Mar ried at'tho early age. of 12, shu was in tho truest sense ot the word, a child wife and wo may imagino that she made a sweet and pretty little wife of those old colonial days-just sucha child wifo as novelists would liko to write about.
