There is considerable hue and cry con-
corning the methods adopted by Secretary
Sherman to secure nomination. " it be
true hat he is using treasury patronage to
push his plans, he deserves rebuke at the
hands of the people. But the secretary
denies the accusation made against him,
and says: The assertion that | have
promised Offices to secure delegates is
absolutely false. am gratified that few
treasury officers have taken an interest in
my nomination. but others have not only
opposed me, but favor Gen. Grant. This
is especially true in Virginia and
North Carolha. The great body of the
officers in the treasury department were
appointed 'Hring Gen. Grants administra.
ton. They are all at liberty to favor any
candidate, aud | shall neither hinder the M

The Export Trade.

The immense growth of the export trade
of this country has been noted for a veal
OF two. And no doubt this has had
remarkable influence in making better
times. As rule good prices have lately
prevailed and the surplus products We
have sent off have paid many foreign
debts and brought much money into the
country.
1t is for the good of the country that
this trade be fostered and courses IL
business that hamper it should be avoided
1t is said that the showing this winter il
not as good as year ago and that thu
cause of it is speculative fever that ha'
kept prices up 10 such figures that it doe
not pay those who are in the genuine
export business; that is prices here ruI'
so near those in Liverpool and othe
foreign ports that it does not pay 10 Blu.
here and sell there.
OF course the higher prices our people
can get the better for them but it certainl.
will not pay to hold surplus at such
price as will prevent its sale abroad 81
far rs holding on secures higher rate
from foreign buyers and does not Diminish
the amount of sales, it is good thing
but if speculation has gone beyond thi
and has really checked the export o.
goods there is sound cause for complaint.
While many papers are complaining
that this has been done, we see that thu
more northern freight lines are doing al
immense amount of freight business. Thu
Grand Trunk is purchasing some thre,
hundred freight cars and the Central Yer
mont line is crowded with western freights
This looks very much rs though the price
that have been kept up in the west hav
not had the effect Of doing moro than II
delay the rush of exports. 1t is certainly
to be hoped that the long freight trains
of our railroads are indicative of move
ment that will be kept up for many week
vet. In that case the difference between
last years foreign sales and this will sool
be made up.
At any rate few weeks will tell whether
the excitement of returning good time
has made business men too sanguine 81
that they have overdone matters. Ant
here in the east it will not make so mucl
difference if it proves that speculation and
high prices have gone to the extent o
interrupting sales.

The Christian Union, in carefully
written article, maintains that rotation in
office is the bane of s.Amercan politics
1t claims that the heart of this whole
system of rotation in office is the rotating
presidency, and that is where the system
ought to be struck its death blow, adding
" We want experience in all public sta
tions; we want it most in the highest
stations. Over against rotation in the
presidency we put a demand for con-
inuous presidency. The corruptions and
debasements and false ambitions which
men want to get rid of by making a presi-
dent ineligible, are enhanced and intensi.
fed by making him ineligible. The very
evils of which they want to get rid are
inherent in their scheme, and the benefits
which they desire to secure are to be
secured only by the abolition of all rotation
in office. and by the establishment in
American politics of the principle, applied
to every work and every workman. Good
work will secure continuance in office us
long as it continues to pc good.''

state of Europe. Every government is
adding regiment to regiment, and battery

charity with all its neighbors. Germany,
