As the House bill for reducing consular and
diplomatic salaries is not at all popular
measure, the President will rather gain than
lose with the people if he should veto it. 1t is
said that he would rather withdraw all our
diplomatic representatives than reduce their
pay. There are certainly many arguments in
favor of such wholesale withdrawal, if ever
the President should make up his mind to the
performance. 1t would solve for instance, the
vexed problem as to Gen. Schenck's successor.

Mr.. Blaine now closes another branch of the
$4,000 SANDER This was in two parts one
that Mr.. Blaine had an interest to that
extent in the Kansas Pacific Road ;
the other that he had received coin bonds of
that road from j. Is. Stewart of the firm of
Stewart & Riddle. Mr.. Blaine produces letters
from Mr.. Stewart Mr. Riddle, Gen. Ewing
and two newspaper correspondents in Washing
ton, all straight to the point of absolute de-

The fact that several Congressman who
want to keep a reputation as hard-money men
are really very weak in the knees, has been
frequently commented on by The TRIBUNE.
The fact was again made apparent yesterday
by the vote on Mr. Holman's resolution to re-
peal the essential feature of the Resumption
act. Aside from the record thus obtained of
members with whom hard-money sentiments
are mere pretense, the vote was also re-
markable in developing an unusual number of

THE GIFT L ASK.

The gift "~'-
-And for it I'm wandering through
The giddy maze of thoughtIess world
It's heart that's warm and true.
A soul where purity ever dwells
Unsullied by one base thought
A heart that beats with love and truth,
Is prize Hong have sought.
A soul that is noble, kind and true,
Is gift I'd value more
Than sparkling gems from diamond mine,
Or pearls from India's shore.
I scorn to ask the wealth of earth,
It would bind my spirit free
But the worshipped one of a faithful heart
Is what 1 would like to be-
Beauty at best is a fading flower,
And for it 1 would not care,
But when gaze ON soul-ht eyes,
I find it beaming there.
To the heaven-born gift of intellect
Alone will my spirit bow, -.
And never ask for clustering curls
To shadow a noble brow.
With hope and truth for beacon lights,
While virtue guid es our way,
Secure we would pass temptation by
That would lead our hearts astray.
And each to the other kind and true,
While earth is our spirits haven,
And hope that we never might part
But to meet in heaven,

Hints for a Universal Language.

Yesterday afternoon. says the San
Francisco Call, a young man much
given to the use of slang of the day
called on the prosecuting attorney
and announced that he wanted a
warrant for the arrest of a saloon
keeper who assaulted him. and this
Is the way he made his want known !:
"Look-a-here, 1 want warrant
for feliar.''
"What did he do to you?' asked
the attorney.
''He fred me OUT
'.Fired you outP' What do you
mean by that?"
"Oh! well, he stood me on my
head"
do you mean to say that he
stood you on your head; how did he
do it?'
''He didn't exactly do that, but
he elevated me. Kinder raised me
and slid me off my ear"
"What did he do that for r.
"Why, 1 asked him for drink,
and when told him to chalk it in
his head, and that when came
around I'd kick it out, he told me
to pull down my vest. I told him
to comb his hair, and he just then
boosted me-"
He obtained a warrant for assault
and battery.-Sda Francisco Call.

Will 1t Pay?
From the Chicago Times.

For the first thirteen days of the
Philadelphia show the aggregate at
tendance was 498, ,638, or an average
of fraction more than 36, 600 day.
At this rate, supposing it to be prac-
ticable to keep it up. the whole at
tendance for the season may be COM
puted at three and half to four mil
lions, giving revenue, with allow
ance for dead-heads, of less than two
million dollars. By the time the le-
gion of attendants, gate-keepers, ,and
Centennial barnacles of all sorts are
paid from this sum, the amount avail
able for the repayment of the gov
ernment loan will not probably over
tax the carrying capacity of an aver
age pocket-book.

aid says: "a prominent Republican Of
fice-holder, who has recently returned
from Ohio, sheds some light ON the po-
litical situation there. During his visit
in the State, he dined with Gov. Hayes,
who said he believed that Blaine would
be nominated at Cincinnati, and that he
hoped for such result. He was not
anxious himself for the nomination. He
had been approached by Blaine's friends
with a proposition that he take the sec
ond place on the ticket, and he indicat-
ed that he would accept the place. He
favors Blaine in preference to any other
candidate named"

city for three per cent. on the fair
cost of the courthouse, of which he
was architect, was ended yesterday,

$4,000, 900. In this suit. the origin
al claim was for three per cent. of
the cost as shown on the books of
the city, which is about $8.000.000.
That claim was abandoned in the
course of the trial. and the cost of
the edi6ce was set down at $4.300,-
600, on which tbs percentage would

BLAINE AHEAD.
A Majority on the First and Sec
Ond Ballot Claimed for Him.

Washington Special to the N. Y. Tribune.
The late tremendous strides made
by Mr.. Blaine in the Presidential
race have had very exhilarating
effect on his friends in Congress and
the departments, as well as those
who are visiting there. Those clos
est to him say they have no doubt
that he will be nominated on the first
or second ballot, and they give what
they say are authentic reasons for
the belief that is within them. Their
figures are striking and interesting.
They say that with his large support
in other sections New England will
give him her solid support on the
first ballot-82 delegates. He then
has the following delegate support:
New Jersey, 10; Deleware. 6; Mary
land, 16; Virginia, 18: North Caro-
lima, 10; Georgia, IL; Mississippi,
5; Tennessee, 6 i; Texas. 8; Oregon,
6; California. 10; Colorado. A 3; the
Territories. 19; Kansas, 10; Neva-
da, g.; Missouri, 16 Minnesota, 10;
Wisconsin, %; Illinois. Al; Michi-
gan. 16. In addition, Mr.. Blaine's
eonfdants say he will receive from
Iowa 22 votes, and from Florida 6.
These are counted for on the first
ballot, and number 362 which will
lack only Is of a majority of the
Convention. In case the votes ored,
tied for Mr.. Bristow ara received by
him, which some of Mr.. Blaines's
friends doubt, these figures will be
reduced between 20 to 80. The
friends of the Maine statesman seem
to have good cause for rejoicing.
