Special to the ObserYer.', ,. . "' ".
Wasbikqtos,' ilkpt il-' 1 ." r It -wosld
seem that the recent decision of Comp
troller Bowles makes the case worse for
Minister Ransom than I thought yesterday.-
The Comptroller of the Treas
ury in the case of Messrs; Springer and
Kilgore, appointed , Indian Territory
judges, reviviDgan act of 1863, decided
that they could not draw any -salary be
fore the Senate had. confirmed their ap
pointments." If this decision applies to
Minister Ransom he will not only be
without salary 'until newly appointed
but be will not be entitled to salary . at
all until confirmed. This will' be very
bard indeed, as it is not supposed the
President would call an extra session of
the Senate for the purpose of confirm
ing these appointments. ' ': , j i
The consular and diplomatic act un
der which the Mexican mission was
raised from the second to the first-class
was approved March 3, 1891, "the last
day of the Fifty-first Congress The
salary wis increased from $12,000 to
17,500. ' -
Inquiry, was made by a prominent
North Carolinian to-day iff Mr. Rya,
Mtnisfer Ransom's predecessor, had not
been affected just as General Ransom
is, and yet drawing his salary without
challenge. The facts are these: Mr.
Ryan was not a member of the Fifty-
first Congress wbicb increased, the
salary, but was a member of the Fif
tieth, tie therefore was not subject
to the constitutional objection. It ap
pears there is no construction to be put
upon the constitution which could ob
viate its plain meaning. Of course
there is general regret that the difficulty
in the way of the appointment was not
foreseen by somebody in time to have
provided a way around. But every one
was so el ad to have the place so well
filled nobody thought of objections,
constitutional or otherwise. Had Sena
tor Edmunds been about, the old for
malist would have pointed out what no
one else saw and the President would
have waited until just after 12 o'clock
on March 4th and made the recess ap
pointment. '
Persons say the President will take
all; that he
may regard the appointment as only
complete at qualification, which took
place after the final adjournment of
Congress.
Later Section 1761, Revised Stat
utes, provides that no money shall be
paid out of the Trearury as salarv to
any person appointed during recess of
the Senate to fill a vacancy in an exist
ing office, if the vacancy existed while
the Senate was in session and was by
law to be filled by and with the advice
of the Senate. The best opinion is that
while the appointment dates from the
confirmation and not fr m the recess
appointment, General Ransom will ul
timately get his money. Congress, says
a prominent North Carolinian to-night,
will appropriate enough to payvne
salary in full. It is believed the law of
ficers of the administration are looking
up precedents to-night.

York. . and ex-Congressman v Sibley, of
Pennsylvania, was one of the largest
that " Denver bas ever seen. Long be
fore the hour which bad:- been set for
the opening, the people began to gather
and at 2 o'clock there - were many
thousands of listeners. ' Excursion
trains, brought in hundreds from the
mining camps. On the steps of the
capitol and about the great arcade were
gathered many distinguished colored
citizens. The air was delightfully mild
and the sunshine brilliant. For an
hour before the time set for the speech
es bands played. J udge A. M. Hacker
introduced Congressman Sibley, who
was greeted with cheers.. '.
"Any place but Colorado to talk siKj
ver," he said. l did not come to talk
silver. I can, do that in the East,
wttere it is needed, but T can ask you!
to advance and - exalt the spirit of
patriotism even at the sacrifice of par
tisanship. The President has said- the
ignorant people of Colorado have got to
be educated on the money question,
and I wish he were here to see whom
he proposes to educate. . 8ilver senti
ment is steadily-growing and ven in
Boston and Michigan it is crystaljizing.
It is spreading in spite of the efforts of
J. Sterling Morton and other members
of the cabinet. The people of the East
will think the white ballots for silver
in 1896 will amount to a snowstorm and
will lie down and die like the blind
mule in the storm of popcorn. If silver
had got its rights when Cleveland took
the President's chair, Denver would
now be the centre of population of the
United States. But I did not come
here to attempt to educate you on the
subject of bt-metallism but to meet the
people of Colorado and talk with them
like brothers and fill myself up with
the life and vigor and electrical force
which one gets from breathing the
pure ozone of Colorado and shaking
hands with ber people.
Mr. Sibley was frequently interrupted
with'applause from the vast assemblage
of men and women and expressed him
self as more than gratified with the
earnestness of the people in the cause
of silver. General Warner followed Mr.
Sibley in a practical, business-like dis
cussion. of the subject which has been
his life study. He also read extracts
from a letter which he received this
morning from Senator Jones explaining
the cause of bis absence and failure to
be with the party at this time. The
letter stated that Senator Jones had ful
ly intended to make the Western- tour
with Messrs. Sibley and Warner but on
the day that he was to start from New
lorkhis physician positively forbade
him to attempt it. Senator Jones la
suffering from heart disease and spells of
great physical depression. The letter
also stated that he had telegraphed
General Warner before the party left
Chicago but the telegram was never re
ceived by Mr. Warner. Senator otew
art's name was heartily cheered.
As to the future movements or the
party in this State, the committee hav

Coming to the purchase of the Star,

Will Come This Way From the West.

were indifferently disposed towards the

Warner in their Uenver tour, saia to
niffht: "The simple truth is General
Warner, Mr. Sibley and Senator Jones
arranged to meet at Chicago last Satur
day and proceed thence to Denver.
Senator Jones had business in New York
and started in advance of the party,
but was taken ill, and is now detained
sick at the Astor House. It was well
understood that Senator Stewart could
not leave Washington immediately, but
he expects to start for. the West on
Thursday afternoon, reaching Denver
on Monday next. Meanwnue ne nas
evinced what I should call a pretty
lively interest in silver, by writing a

West as soon as possible, and take that
section by storm.

these two being Hubbard, of Clay, and

We propose to offer to meet; with . the

To-morrow is the day fixed for the
meeting of the old directors, who are
five in number, so we meet the same
day. Jf the old. directors decline to
meet with us, we propose to meet our
selves, if we can - get a quoru m or tne
fourteen.' that -being eight,' and then
carry cat the new act as well as we -can.
Then we will demand possession of the
office of 'agent,', Who will, oi coarse, ue

we would elect any officers save the
agent, but would give nim tbe power to
appoint the others. .Under the terms of
the act we can ao this, or we can, our

ernor Carr will, nowever, appoint nine
new directors. That is the course for
him to take if a fight is to be made
Capt.. Kitchin evidently thinks ne
had a mighty poor showing. . He says
Governor Carr has done 1 just as' be
would have had he been Governor, and
that , the Governor ought to have ap
pointed : the new directors. Capt.
Kitchin also said that he was not going
to srend anv money on this business.

If the latter', is in. Une with the
Populists, well "and good.'- ;He gives
these as Senator Butler's views also.
