The New York sur saws:

The proper time to have given James N.
Tyner his walking papers, as first assist
ant postmaster General, was when Brady,
instead of being turned out neck and heels,
was politely asked to resign his place as
second assistant. Tyner and Brady are
legacies of the late Senator Morton. They
were his unhesitating ieutenants for years,
and during his lifetime he protected them
from removal.
Without the ability of Brady, Tyner has
shown all the disposition of that jobber to
profit by his opportunities; and when. the
whole truth is told 1t will be seen that his
record is as black as that of any of the vile
crew with which he was long associated
Ills brother who was superintendent of
the contracts for postal cards and the like,
from which immense profits have been
derived, was quick to retire when Mr..
James rfotffleds Brady to go with ''expedit-
ionip f4
The system of merely asking resigna-
tons of venal officeholders, who ought to
be prosecuted and sent to the penitentiary,
is all wrong. President Arthur cannot too
soon inaugurate reform in this respect,
if he is earnestly bent on purging the
public service of its gross impurities.

Indications increase that Mr.. Arthur is
going TO try and make the next president.
We can't tell yet who his candidate viii be
although the signs SO far observable
seem to point to Grant-but we are be-
ginning to find out what candidates this
administration win be against. Blaine is
one, as matter of course, and the rumor
that Edmunds is talked of for the supreme
bench shows that Arthur both opposes and
fears him. If John Logan is really nurs
ing private boom of his own, and he has
cheek enough for anything, he viii go
into the black list too, for all his stalwart-
ism.

A second failure Is recorded In the effort

A second failure Is recorded in the effort
to import men to Cincinnati to take the
places of the strikers in the rolling mills.
One of the mills started one day last week
with over a dozen men brought on from
the east; but the next day it stopped. The
union iron workers keep their methods
secret, but somehow they manage to exert
an influence even upon no union men; and
they extend their reach to England, being
in correspondence with the union there, in
order to see that men are not sent on to
supply the places of the strikers in Ohio.

Senator David Davis appears to be a
democrat in principle and republican in
policy. IF he would stick more to princi-
pie and less to policy he would serve his
country better. Since the stock law has
become general fences are too weak to sup
port his kind. He must seek better
foundation if he would keep in public life
or be useful as private citizen.
[st. Louis Republican Dem.) Oct. Is.
Certainly nobody can make John Kelly
bolt unless he wants to, and he may have
such small pleasure as he can get by not
indulging in that plan of proceeding. He
may pretend to support the ticket in pub
lie and use his utmost efforts to defeat it
In private, as he did year ago when he
betrayed Hancock, but that viii not con-
ceal his complete discontinue. His very
failure to head an open bolt is confession
of his powerfulness which the whole coun-
try win understand. His brief career as

AdYIces from Virginia.

VIRGINIA, May 31-There is a FIRE in the
old breasts of the bonanza mines above the
1600.foot level. Some gas has been obsel we'd
for the last two days, aud last night it be-
came SO strong that it drove the men out of
the breasts where they have been taking cut
low grade ore. This afternoon much gas is
coming out of the top of the old Consolidated
Virginia shaft. This gas has the old smell
of burning pine. There is so much gas on the
1000 foot level that the men cannot get back
to see where the fire is, but it is supposed to
be the timbers in some old caved chamber,
ienited by spontaneous combustion. On two
or three occasions heretofore similar iuf1uxes
of gas have been observed, and were stopped
by turning down water but never before
has it been as bad as on this occasion.
Measures are being taken to stop the gas and
smother the fire, which is back where it CAN
not damage the present works. Connection
between the main south drift from Ophir
and the G. and c. shaft on the 2500-foot
level was made yesterday. The draft thus
started may have tendency to start up the
smoldering fire.
The consolidation of the city and county
governments was perfected to-day, Gold Hill
coming in. John Bradley is elected Chief OF
Police of this city; John j. Riorden, Chief
of the Fire Department; Miles Finlea, Road.

SAN FRANcIsco MONEY MARKET.-There
Is no scarcity of coin in the local banks, but
there is a scarcity Of prime paper at full
rates. As result there is great deal of
competition for business and manifest lack
of uniformity in quotations. Each bank is a
law unto itself in this particular. and is
sometimes charged with not even abiding by
its own rates. as commonly understood.
What we mean to say is, that banks DO not
deal by all customers alike, nor, as is charged,
do they deal by the same customer alike at
all times. This is, in measure, unavoid-
able. Credit is a sensitive thing. There are
nearly as many degrees of it as there are bor-
rowers, and the credit OF each is constantly
varying. Good banking inculcstes close
watch of these things, and the successful
banker is he who is the most correct in his
discrimination of the standing of lis clients.
The nominal rates are 7t19 per cert. for reg
ular mercantile paper; 4@6 per cent. for call
loans on prime securities. and sac per cent.
for mortgages on city real estate, with taxes

Sour stomach.

II the food taken into the stomach is not
digested it decomposes. In the latter case q
pungent gas Is developed which causes sour
eructations, or else the stomach itself secretes
an acid, which, rising upward at intervals,
stings the gullet sharply. These extremely
disagreeable sensations are attributable to
impaired digestion. To get rid of them, or
prevent their recurrence, it is only necessary
to tone and regulate the gastric organs with
Hostetter's Bitters. 1t will not answer to
postpone the great corrective with the idea
that the unpleasant symptoms will disappear
of themselves. SO far from thai being the
case, they almost invariably eliminate, if
neglected, in chronic dyspepsia. with It's con-
comitants of gnawing in the stomach, dizzi-
ness, perverted vision, headache and sleep
lessness. 1t is true that all these disagree
sbles may be obviated by a course of the
Bitters; but how much wiser to anticipate
their arrival with one or two doses OF that
sure preventive of indigestion aud strengthener
of the ailmentary organs.
