nent is very melancholy.
There is reason to hope that the long uncer-
tainty concerning the Insurance SuDerintend-
entship has ended. After the Governors ex-
perience in nominating gentleman who posi-
lively refused the honor, he was not likely to
make a now nomination without being sure
that the Office would be accepted. The position
seems to be in singular dsfavor, nasmuch as 1t Is
said to have been rendered since MIR. LawsOn's
declination to no less than five persons. The
Governor has selected man OF clean record
and excellent standing. Mr.. Fairman has been
for many years Editor of The ElmirG Advertiser,
and is said to be q man of fine business ability
There seems to be no doubt of his confirmation
and there is as little doubt of the honesty OF
purpose which he will bring to the performance
of his duties. 1t seems safe therefore, to assume
that the unfortunate Insurance Department con-
troversy has come to full stop.
The House has passed the Army Appropria
ton bill with the old rider forbidding the use of
troops as a police force to keep the peace at the
polls. The new Democratic policy of silence nay
be said to have been persevered in to the end It's
true that the majority did not sit with their
uduub over tnciT uOuthsJ ior iOaI VI saying
something foolish, until the vote was taken.
Even they realized the absurdity of the situation,
and saw that it would not do for majority
to make itself too ridiculous. But the leader
who was put forward was not leader, and his
duty as spokesman was to say as little as posi-
bic. The fre-eaters were kept in the back
ground. What General Ewing said was simply
to repeat the stale arguments in favor of the
rider with the addition of some fresh political
impertinences. The bill passed by party vote,
and will no doubt have an equal success in the
Senate. A change in Republican sentiment
since last year is to be noticed. Then much
more obnoxious bill was vetoed amid the ap-
plause of the country, and the Republicans
gained signal victory. When new bill was
passed with substantially the present rider
upon it, it was regarded as virtual surrender
for the Democrats. Few Republicans in the
House opposed it, for they regarded it, to use
General Garfeld's words, as a stump speech,
having no legislative effect whatever" The
President signed that bill, but 1t is hoped by
the mass of Republicans in Washington that
the present bill will be vetoed.

American Newspaper Directory.

Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co., New
York, have now handed the publishers
and advertisers of America the twelfth
annual issue of the AMERICAN News
PAPER DIRECTORY. 1t is large book
of more than thousand pages /; has
been compiled with consummate care
and skill, and in manner and matter
is the most complete and satisfactory
Directory of its kind ever presented
to the public. 1t is the result of great
labor, and book of inestimable value
to the great advertising public. For
more than a dozen years has much
time, enterprise and money been de-
voted to this work-each succeeding
annual being an improvement upon its
predecessor, until its degree of per-
lection has become such that Rowell's
AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY has
become to the searcher after definite
newspaper knowledge, what the Ameri-
can Cyclop@dia has to the inquirer
after accurate general information. Its
classification by States, counties and
lists is perfect; its statistics as to cir
culation, population of place of publ
cation, distance from important CEN
trail places, date of establishment, and
all other important features connected
with each publication is most thorough
and reliable; so much so, that no well
posted business man, whether an ad-
vertiser or not, can afford TO be with
out it. In word it is book worthy
of the greatest of all newspaper agen-
cies.-Dauenpo,t (Lowa) Democrat

A CABINET PORTFOLIO.

We notice among our exchanges a
very general disposition to ask of Cen
eral Garfield wider and more fitting
recognition Of the claims of colored
Republicans to greater share of off
cial patronage, than has heretofore
been given them.
The Chicago Times says that
The colored people are tired of being
set aside on the TOO SOON theory; they
want the share of the Offices that their SER
vices demand; and they are right"
The New York Star Dem. says:
Why shoulda's General Garfield put
colored man in Bis cabinet, and thus recog-
nise the million Of totes the colored people
cast for him?"
The Burlington (Eowal Rawkeye has
nominated Ex-Congressman Rainey,
of South Carolina, for clerk of the
House Of Representatives the Boston
Herald has warmly approved of the
giving of cabinet portfolio to Sena-
tor Bruce; the Philadelphia Sunday
NeaOs (Dem.) has repeatedly urged
that the color Of mans skin should
be no bar to his receiving political
patronage; the Indianapolis Leade,,
the Washington Advoeate, the National
Era, the New Orleans Observer, and
dozens of other newspapers we could
name, have been for weeks pressing
the appointment of black man to
cabinet position. The first newspaper,
however, which gave utterance to
demand for broader recognition of
the Afro-American element in the Re-
publican party, YVES the Washington
Exodus. In May last it nominated
B. K. Bruce for the Vice Presidency,
and stuck to him with snch persistency
that it gave him quite considerable
following At Chicago.
Frederick Douglass, Senator Bruce,
R. I. Greener, r. B. Elliot, James B.
Devaux. John M. Langston and VIM.
Wells Brown have each been men
toned in connection with the Interior
Department. This is as it should be,
and it shows g healthy condition of
popular sentiment. The black man of
to-day is a far different being from the
black man of fifteen years ago. He
knows more, he has more, he amounts
to more than he did then. The race
has made wonderful progress under
Liberty. The Chicago Inter- Ocean
commenting upon Schofeld's insult to
the race says:
"The talk about moral and intellectual
level &C.. might Is we'll have been omitted.
While it is true that 9 great many colored
men have not become educated, and have
not had the opportunities, yet it also remains
true that there are plenty Of colored men
who have as much moral and Intellectual
force about them, as the brave Schofeld
himself. Stand old Fred. Douglas up by
the side Of the epauletted General at West
Point, and the whole world will say that he
has more good sense in a minute than Scho-
field has all day"
Whether a black man receives a |
cabinet portfolio or not, the agitation
of the question has subserved good |
purpose. 1t has shown that the "col-
ored man." separate, distinct and |
confessedly inferior being, is rapidly |
passing away; he is becoming an
American citizen, with all that the
name implies.
