What Was Promised.

The statement that Mr. Morton vas promised the
head Of the Treasury Department is also fatly de-
MED. Mr.. Morton was named for a place IN the
Cabinet, but no promise intimatiOu was given
that he would be made Secretary of the Treasury:
and when Mr.. Morton met General Garfield in
Washington in November last he was fully ap-
priSed that it was not intended TO tender him the
Treasury portfolio" Intimate Friends OF the Prcsi-
dent"
The New York Times Washington cor
respondent says he obtained the fore
going information from intimate friends
of the President" He adds:
The publication in the Herald is said to contain
other statements equally incorrect and the Presi-
dent, who has not had an opportunity to read it
lnil this evening, says the entire publication IS
INaade up of inaccuracies, Misrepresentation and
insyentions that are knownto be false by number
of f2erSons who have personal knowledge of the
conqiuct ofthe entire campaign, far as the Presi
denS' took any part in it.
This writer tells US what the President
himself says This is indeed important
Having read the five columns in the
Herald the President says certain things
and his friends say certain other things
All these things are in one paragraph,
and We are left to guess whether the
President and " the friends" addressed
the correspondent in each others pres
ence, or whether the friends took him
aside when they babbled of the promise
of Cabinet place to Mr.. Morton, but
protested that it was not the Treasury
Department. They are so eager to deny
that the President violated promise that
they allege a promise ola place in general
terms, but not the Treasury place in par
ticular All of which is most artless and
unaffected. Would it be proper to in
quire why General Garfield apprised Mr..
Morton in November last at Washington
" that it was not intended to tender him
the Treasury portfolio?" Who had said
it was? Did the President-elect feel
called upon to remove some strong i'm
preston? And did he succeed2

HOT WEATHER.
Up in The Nineiies-Read This and Wipe
YOur Brew.

There was no change in the weather
yesterday, except that it hotter. 1t was good
deal hotter. 1t began early in the day and got
good grip, and held Oh until the day lay an ex-
piring, painting corpse somewhere about mid
night. At that time wind arose. 1t came from
the north. A wind of the same sort was fooling
around during the day, but ii got discouraged and
left. The consequence was that a thermometer
IN a drug store on Fifteenth street went up
to 1909, and the one at the White House, which is
very cool place-not politically-registered 80.
At the Signal Office the maximum temperature
was 95.5o. 1t is not probable that there will be
much warmer weather the rest of the year; if
there is the people had better emigrate. Through
out the country the thermometer was on the rise
all day. The following is the maximum
temperature at some of the places named
Albany, SOo; Atlanta, 7Oo; Augusta go; Bismarck,
6So; Boston, 63o; Buffalo. coo: Chicago, S9o; CO.
lumbus, 7So; Denver, 75o; Duluth, $50: Erie, 70o !;
indianapolis, $50; Louisville, 90; Milwaukee, Coz
New York, 10: Omaha, 76o; Pittsburg, 90o; Port
land, Oregon, SO; San Francisco, 69o; Savannah,
SO; st. Louis, So st. Paul, 62o; Baltimore, 95o
Wilmington, y. c., 93o There is a prospect of
cooler weather. The winds from the north are
taking southern trip, and to-day will probably
be cooler.

Common Sense.

The Republican Senators do not hasten
to any work which can create discord
This is the true policy. Why should our
party divide into wings, each wing de-
pending on help from the enemy to aid
in defeating the other? Is there no more
work to be done for the cause which pre-
vailed last autumn? Are the Bourbon
Democrats who carried just one half
the States of the Union no longer an
enemy to be feared? Does the public
good demand that the Republican party
of any State shall be put in peril by an
effort to compel it to follow new leaders
by the use of Federal patronage? Would
the Solid South control the Nation if by
Northern divisions the Bourbon Demo
Gratis should prevail in 1884? Would that
Solid South be less bent on reprisal
and revenge then than now? Do
not the recent debates in the Sen
ate show that the ballot-boX is closed to
the Republicans in some of the States
Are we not told that intelligence and not
numbers shall rule in the South, while
the vengeful enemies of the Nation claim
to possess all that intelligence? Will the
holders of the Nations securities feel safe
under the rule of faction which be-
lieves every act of the Government since
April, 1861, unconstitutional Must the
clock be turned back twenty years to
prove that successor of Abraham Lin
coin can have his wayin regard to a nom-
ination? Does General Garfield doubt
that united action by Republican Sena-
tors on all political questions would be
far more conducive to the success of his
administration than would a petty
triumph over two Senators of a
State in the matter of a custom-house
appointment? Does the President really
believe that it would strengthen the Re-
publican party of New York to place the
Federal offices and their great power in
the hands of the enemies of the Vice
President, the two Senators, and the State
Central Committee? When the next
Republican State Convention meets in
that State, would not the effort to pack
lIiS Will SiliNSio VI
their proxies, which would surely be
made, provoke resistance dangerous to
party harmony no matter which side
should prevail?
The prominent men of the party, of
whatever present inclining, will of course
labor then in good faith for success; but
can they overcome the apathy which
would, in the nature of things, prevail to
some extent among the defeated? Sem
ator Conkling's acquiescence in Robert
sons appointment would only add fuel to
the flame in New York. 1t is not his Per
sonal matter.
The President and the Senator could, if
they would agree, make the party in New
York a unit but it could not be done by
giving the Custom House over to be
manipulated from outside the State in
hostility to well-deserving public men
within the State. That is all there is of
this question. Fair play, common-sense,
and good temper are much needed.
Time allays irritation. All that has been
hastily said or written on either side of
this unfortunate controversy would be
harmless for evil if there could be union
of Republicans here and everywhere
against the common enemy. Is it not
worth considering?

The maddest man in Nebraska is
saloon keeper at Lincoln. He had been buying
lottery tickets, and some ioafers "put up job"
on him by publishing fictitious telegram in the
local paper that the number held by him had
drawn $4,000 prize. His bar was free for the
entire day, and ali the loafers in town got drunk
at his expense. 1t was very difficult matter TO
convince him that he had not drawn the prize, so
strong was his faith in newspapers. but he will
