ltts not reasonable to expect TINT Congress-

abandon this rerquisito Of appointments, nor
that pseHlont himso7f elected by the anmo

faraboye tho ordinary woakncsHes OF humanity "a

Financial Editors I'm New York.

The New York correspondent OF the Chi
cago Times enlightens US somewhat on this
topic:
Financial editors are almost the only
| ne newspaper writers who ever make any
money. Their salaries are not large-not
larger than those in other departments.
The highest price paid to any Of them here
is $75 a week, and l think only two receive
so much as that-$50 to $40 being the gen
eral rate in the leading morning Journals,
while on the other dailies it is not over $25
to $50 per week. Their incomes are not
regulated, however, by their salaries, but
by what they manage TO make on the
street.
Many of them soon acquire pecuniary
independence, and even more. Snow. for
years financial editor of the Tribune, died
not long since, leaving an estate worth some
$780, 900. His successor, w. T. Clarke, died
two years ago in Genoa, having acquired
nearly $500 900. The present financial editor
of the same paper, John ID. Cleveland,
Horace Greeley's brOther-in-law. is one of
the very few who, his intimates aver, might
fill the place for the remainder of his life
and be no better of than he aow is.
William Hudson, brother of Frederick
Hudson, the e~x-manager of the Herald, had
the reputation OF having made, in q few
years, $250,0O as controller of the money
column .ot that paper, and his compensation
was not over $25 a week. John Bonner, in
the same place afterward. achieved a hand
some independence, and is now a wealthy
stock-broker in Broad street.
The financial editors of the Fo-b3, Trtes,
Evening Express, and other dailies, are re-
puted TO nave laid the base of fortunes
through their professional duties. They
may not nave done anything of the kind
common report being, as all know, the
commOnest of liars oftenl, but they could
get credit on the widely entertained belief.
Everybody expects a financial editor to
grow rich, or what would be called so out
side of the metropolis. If he does not,
there are those ready to proclaim him a
fool. If he does, the very same persons are
equally ready to suspect his Integrity; so
that the position is not very desirable after
all.
The place is earnestly sought after,
though there is slender prospect of any out
slider getting it. 1t is frequently regarded
az something to succeed to. and is filed
either by a large stakeholder, or the friends
of some of the stockholders. The manag-
ing editor never appoints the financial edi-
tor; that power belongs to the editor-in-
chief. During his life, Horace Greeley al
ways chose the man to fill the place; on the
Herald, James Gordon Bennett chooses; on
the World. Manton Marble; on the Times,
George Jones; on the Erenin1 Post, vii
liam Cullen Bryant, and so on. | know
men who nave been trying for years to ob-
tam such a position on some leading daily.
and albeit they still hope, they have very
little, ii any, cause for encouragement,

Treasury Regulations,

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The Secretary
OF the Treasury has issued and directed 8
rigid enforcement of the regulation which
requires the Treasurer and all assistant
treasurers and depositaries of the United
States to refuse payment of all official
checks of United States ~disbursing officers

their issue. and all treasury drafts and dis
bursting officers checks presented more than
three Years after their issue. All checks,
payment on which has thus been refused,
will have to be forwarded TO the Secretary
of the Treasury, the former for examination
and verifcation with the drawers accounts,
and the latter for statements of new ae-
counts.

A contemporary intimates that Senator
West, of Louisiana, was regarded as hest

Greeley or Grant. AS far as we can learn
there is no ground for the charge. Senator
West has not been regarded as a partition

Gently. made politics a serious study. Bus
even if it were true that he was not very
outspoken at the time of the Cincinnati de.

ton, written i'll the year 1896 b. C.. that il
about eighty years after solomon's death
by Mesa, King of Moab, and
OF Achab and JoEaphat. 1t is engraved
0ns a massive block of basalt about three
feet high, two wide and one thick. rounded
at the top IN the supposed shape Of the De.
dialogue. Mesa tells his cOmbats against
the hng of Israel, his liege, enuulerating
ms battles, 'ieges and works, the whole
forming thirty four lines engraved in very
small characters and written in the Ian
guage of the Old Testament.
1t is the oldest specimen known Of Tho
alphabetical writing, and almost a nroto
type OF our present characters, tw, ntr two
Phenician letters having been adoptcd bv
the Greeks almost without alteration . TO-
inc anclents had this advantage Owe, M.
that they possessed The unity of aIphahats
