Here, it Will be observed, are forty
seven manufacturing companies Of cotton,
woolen and other goods. out Of which
only four have failed to divide handsome
profit during the last year, notwithstand-
ing the depression in general business
which marked so many months during its
close. The extremely few companies
which show small profits or none, owe
that fact undoubtedly to misnanagement
of one kind or another. Certainly the
proportion of unproductive capital, when
compared with that in merchandise rany
other business, is astonishingly small.
Twenty-six companies out Of the forty
seven divided from ten to thirty per cent.
each among the owners. Financial in
terests which are paying such profits
as these should be ashamed to besiege
Congress to continue, or TO enlarge, a
monopoly which has now for 30 many
years steadily aided them to grow rich at
the expense of the people. -s --- ---

+ The President appears determined t1at
the country shall not think well of him
without violating its better Judgment.
His latest and worst performance in this
line was the appointment yesterday Of
Alexander r. Shepherd to Be one Of the
commissioners to organize new g0yeEn-
ment for the District Of Colunbia. Nr.
Shepherd was totally unfit for the posi-
ton, having been expelled by Congress
from the Office of Governor Of the District
for maladministration.- The almost unani-
nous Judgment of Congress and of the
country were against him. Yet, right in
the face Of this verdict, the President
made social trip to Cape May with
Shepherd, and on returning 10 the White
House appointed him to an otfice. 50
nearly like the one from which be was
expelled that there is an appearance Of
malice in the act. This appointment was
one of the worst events IN this eVentful
administration, and the Senate did right
IN rebuking the President 50 emphatically.
1t rejected the nomination almoat uaani-
mously, Just as the New York Senate
would have rejected the nomination Of
Tweed, If, after the exposuFs of the frauds
of the New York Ring, the LegiBlatHEs Of
this State had entrusted the government
of this city .te board of three commis-
sioners to be appointed by the Governor,

several weeks ago. but was Kept quiet by the COM

horses, after which they are washed or with soap
and water and every night the stables are
smoked with tar. Whltewash is also
plentifully used. Mr.. Sullivan, the Presi-
