Malone Can't have il All.

Washington special: 1t has been
learned that the cause of Mahone's
discontinue, which has been notice
able nearly al of last week In the
Senate, was the information that the
President had decided not to give
him the entire patronage OF Virginia,
which he had been led to believe he
would get. The manly stand taken
by straight out Republicans who re-
fuse to ally themselves with Malone
in State affairs, together with the
fact that tho Republicans ont mum
Der the rcadjusters have compelled
the President to come to the help of
the Republicans of Virginia; and he
has decided to bestow at least half
the State patronage upon his own
party. The first step having thus
been taken toward making away with
Malone, it will not be difficult for
the President to take others. Con-
sidering also that the Republicans
in the Senate have to withdraw Rid
deberger and that the Democrats
will not allow Gorham to he elected,
it begins to look as though Malone
would not realize very much on his
vote. Even Conkling, in hope of
Democratic favor for his own pur-
poses, has lately held aloof from
Malone although his alleged SYM
pathles were conveyed at length and
with due feeling through Plat.
A Government by Bosses.
Henry George of California lee
tured at Chickering Hall last night
on "The Next Great Struggle" He
was introduced by +. B. Thurber.
In the course of his remarks he said:
1 measure my words. After looking
at many things and thinking Of many
things, it is my opinion that as it
stands to-day this great American
experiment in free government is
failure. Men of New York, do you
govern yourselves? 1t is merely
question of who will be your boss.
Even judges sit on the judicial bench
who buy their places. Has not
Brooklyn q boss? Look at philadel-
phia; for years she has lain PROSTATE
at the feet of boss. The same is
true of Baltimore and San Francisco.
1t is not the problem of municipal
government we have to solve, but of
Republican Government.
Uncle SANS Tea Farm.
CHICAGO, May 2.-The Inter-
oceans Washington special says:
The pet scheme of the Commissioner
of Agriculture is now in fair way
to fruition unless an official first
sends the leduos he had into II basli-
ct. Nj antime venerable gentle
man named Henry a. Middleton,
living about twenty miles from Char
lesion, 5. c., believes with the COM
missioners that the tea plant can be
successfully cultivated in United
States. No money has been appro.
priated for the purchase of land on
which to establish tea farm, but
Middleton has leased to the com.
missioners a tract Ct 300 acres on
his estate for 20 years i'll considera-
ton of the sum of one hundred dol
lars. An appropriate building for
carrying out the experiment will be
constructed and John Jackson, who
has been engaged i'll tea culture III
India for. sixteen years, will have
charge of the plantation. About
1900 tea plants will be sent this
spring, and the commissioner allows
in ten years time that he will have as
fine crop of tea as ever was raised
IN the world.
