THE selection Of Mr.. Burchard, Of Hi
nois, as director of the Mint, has astonishcd
everybody who knows the man and is IA
miIiar with the requirements OF the posi-
ton. But, that "the man from Ohio"
should appoint Burchard, should not occa-
sion establishment, after all, The selection
of Thompson, an Indiana back-woodsman
who scarcely ever saw the ocean, and didn't
know the "top.gallant' of a ship from the
"kclson," to be Secretary of the Navy, pre-
pared the public mind for almost anything.
Burchard helped to steal the presidency,
and that consideration alone entitled him
to the position. The Philadelphia Times
says that Burchard resembles Hayes first
choice, Mr., Snowdon, only in the one fact
that he knows that trade dollar
and grecnbNck don't look alike. But above
all else rises his valiant defence Of the
cause Of Mr.. Hayes before the Dudley Field
investigation committee, in the winter Of &c
~, and BY being one Of the few straight
out Hayes men on the Republican side of
House Of Representatives. When he stood
up for Madison Wells in the stormy days
of the Electoral Commission he cast his
bread upon the waters, and it has returned
to him after many days. The pressing ne.
cessity for providing for Mr.. Buchard grew
out Of the fact that like Banks and Town
send who are already nominated for good
offices, his constituents had no further use
for his sryccs and declined to return him
to Congress. There will be many more ap.
poinlmcnts on this account between now
and the fourth Of March,"

The suggestion that originated with the
Louisville Couricr-J journal that Alaska be
be made a penal colony for the United
States is one that is worthy of much con-
sideration With what satisfaction could
honest men hold up to the gaze OF the
rascally bank and insurance presidents, the
horrors of ten years service in the copper
mines of that distant and inhospitablc re-
gion! Coal, iron and copper abound there,
and convlcts, instead Of being an expense,
would more than pay for their mainten-
ance. There is much more in the sugges-
ton than appears upon the surface, and it
might be well to give the subject a
thorough ventilation.

WE FULLY agree with the Louisville Age,
that there is no reason to doubt that the
Republican electors of Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina were for sale Where
IN article is in the market, and one Of the
two bidders for it obtain it, the inference is
inevitable that that bidder paid the better
price for it. In short, that the Republicans
bought part or all of these votes, is no
longer doubted by any sane man; and that
the persons who consumated the disgrace
full transaction have been rewarded by the
president for their corrupt work is fact of
history BY the action Of President Hayes
in this matter he has become particeps Grim
inis after the fact, however innocent he
might have been before it. He has sealed
the villainy by his own image and super
scription,' and has thereby contributed, in
the most public and official manner, to the
degradation of politics and the corruption
of the ballot. History will brand him
with the guilt which he sanctioned and con-
hrmed.

For the fourteenth time the newspapers
of the country are specializing as to what
became of Marshal Ney. The New York
Herald insists that he was not executed,
as quite everybody believed, but escaped
from France, reached America, and ended
his days in North Carolina, as Il common
pedagogue The Louisville Couricr-Journa,
dissents from this conclusion, because, as II
says, Ney could not have taught school had
he wanted to. The CD. forgets that the
Herald spoke of North Carolina school
As Ney could read words of two sylablcs
without stopping to spell them, he could
under the school system that then obtained
in North Carolina, have secured a first
grade certificate.

SINCE the country was first cursed by
Grantism there seems to be "a job" in
almost everything Governmental orders,
contracts and appropriations, however hon
est and straightforward they may seem at
first, are found, in the progress Of time, to
cover revolving rottenncss. II is nothing to
the scoundrcls who profit by the 'jobs,"
what the consequences to Others may be,
for in this day Of Republican ascendancy
men have a care only for themselves and
theirs, as Grant had for himself and his. In
the grant to the Alaska Commercial com.
pany, the only wrong that was visible on
the surface was that the government had
piyen thousands to secure return Of tens
But now we have it that because of the re
n,oyal Of the troops from Alaska, at tht

The company wanted no watchers Of their

there were none to modest or make the

MEDICAL.
CATARRH.
NEVER-FAILING RELIEF
AFFORDED BY
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE

TT Is a fact that can be snbstantlated by the most
/ respectable testimonials ever offered In favor Of
any proprietary medicine, that the RADICAL CURE
roo CATARRH does In every case afford instant and
permanent relief No matter Of how long standing
or how severe the disease the first dose gives such
evidence Of Its value in the treatment OF Caaruh
affections that confidence IL at once felt in it, abi-
iy TO do all that is claimed for IT, The testimony
OF physicians, druggists, and patients Is unanimous
in this respect, and the accommodating evidence Is
in point of rcspcCtabity superior to any ever be-
fore obtained in favor OF n popular remedy. The
proprictors therefore may justly feel proud Of the
position the RADICAL CURE has attained, and believe
Ii worthy of It's reputation.

its first cost is said to have been $50, ,000.l
The first locomotive used i'll this cOun-
try Cbuilt in England) was introduced by
the Delaware and Hudson N. " Canal
Company, in 1920, and was used on
railroad which the company bailt from
the coal mines at Honesdale, Pa, to the
terminus of their canal.
1t Is rumored that the gauge of the
Springfield, Jackson and POmerOy Rail-
road is to be changed from narrow to
standard gauge; and, judging from move
ments which have for some time been in
progress, the indications point III that di-
rectiOn. Should prOgnoStications be YER
flied, there will no doubt be an increase
in coal shipments over that line of rail-
way, as trains may then be run with
greater regularity, and special attention
given 10 coal transportation It is also
mOoted that g s., J. and P.'' is to be
dropped and s'Springfield Southern" sub
stituted as the name of the road. The
DAYTON and Southeastern Railroad, TOO.
judging from present prOgressiVeness,
will ere long be in running operation to
the coal fields on that line as far as Wells
ton. With these changes and connections
perfected, we viii have here a constant
supply OF the best quality of coal, and in
ali probability at less cost than hereto
fore. And then, too, it is but reasonable
to hope that manufacturing industries
will be established here, inasmuch as a
wide, unoccupied field will be afforded
for operation, as well as superior trans
portation facilities obtainable for distrib-
utive purposes, and excellent, accessible
sources available from whence to obtain
supplies.
We would advise coal consumers to inn
mediately purchase and " lay in p" their
winter supply of that fuel, as, in conse-
quence of the long-continued drought,
the coal shipments by river to Cincinnati
will be cut off this season, the depth or
stage of water being totally insufficient to
permit the downward passage of the up
river coal fleet, by which that market is
generally supplied. As the coal supply
of Cincinnati must therefore be procured
| by railway, prices at all interior points
will necessarily be advanced, the great
demand for rolling-stock to furnish down.
river cities with their supply being one
of the causes which will serve to produce
that result. Miners, too, taking advan-
| tage of the situation, will exact advances
in their. mining rates, which will, of
course, cause corresponding advances in
selling prices to be made by coaI-mine
owners and dealers. Within the past
month, coal has advanced in price here
about four cents per bushel.
