The Coming Cabinet as Described by
the Present Secretary of State.

Va OtdtVs
A Washington special says: 'Mr.
Blaine has expressed freely in very re-
cent conversations his views as to the
next Cabinet For himself he says he
will retire in December. The Cabinet,
he says, will be Grant from top to bot
tom after January l. He thinks that
Mr.. Frelinghuysen will be Secretary of
State Judge Folger was recommended
by General Grant and Mr.. Conkling to
General Garfield for Secretary of the
Treasury last winter The business ar
rangements of Mr. James in New York
will probably make vacancy in the
Postmaster Generalship after January
1, and an undoubted stalwart will be
appointed il his place. AS to whether
Mr. Lincoln will go or not Mr.. Blaine
did not express himself. 1t is reported
here on good authority that General
Grant is urging General Beall for the
Navy Department. 1t is known that
General Beall is anxious for the nomina
ton and General Grants intimacy with
him has been marked. He was General
Beall's guest during his recent visit to
Washington. The recent nomination of
Frank Hatton. a particularly stalwart
Grant man, to First Assistant Postmaster
General is regarded as significant. He
has charge of the appointment office,
which practically controls the appoint
ment of all postmasters under those of
the first class.

The Atlanta Exposition as 1t Appears
to Its Originator.

No one so far has been more impressed
with the vastness and significance of the
Atlanta Exposition than its latest visitor,
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, who first sug-
gested it. He writes under date OF
October 81 to the New York Herald that,
in common with other members of the
committee of New England Cotton
Manufacturers Association now in At
lanta, he regards the Exposition grand
success, and is profoundly convinced of
its great importance as means of
furthering Southern agricultural and
manufacturing enterprise. THE exhibit
ton exceeds" says Mr.. Atkinson, Sin its
scope, in its influences and in its COM
pleteness anything that ever dared to
dream, and it gives me painful sense of
responsibility even to have suggested the
idea. Few can conceive the magnitude,
the variety and the representative char
acter of what there is here" So deeply
is the writer moved by what he sees that
he goes on to say: ''No one who has
any public interest in the welfare of our
nation can afford to stay away from
here. If l may use the expression, the
potentialities of the future are to be
found here-the ores, the timber, the
COAL the productions of agriculture, new
apparatus, new machinery, new inven-
lions for the treatment of cotton-all in
wonderful variety" He urges railroad
managers to lower their passenger
rates that persons from distant parts OF
the country may be tempted to come,
and declares that they would do so if
they could see as clearly as he and his
manufacturing friends of the North
do that there is no better way to increase
their freights than to give farmers facili-
ties for gaining the ideas which, after
all, are the germs from which big crops
grow. 81 am authorized, says Mr.. At
kinsOn, in conclusion, land warranted
by my associates, who represent the &C
tive management OF one eighth OF the
cotton spindles of the United States in
all l say, and one of them has just said
that if he could find stronger language
to put the statements in he would do So"
The Baltimore Sun remarks with truth
that "the Atlanta Exposition may be
said to have succeeded already, since it
has so deeply impressed such competent
critics. Its best results must come, how
ever, from the stimulus it gives to the
industrial life of the Southern people
themselves If it proves an efficient one,
the era of wealth and power which seem
ed century ago to be dawning upon
them has now at length IN verify ar
rived"

The Hawaiian Sugar Monopoly.


If we may credit certain San Francisco
newspapers, our reciprocity treaty with
the Sandwich Islands, which was enter
ed into by the government to enable the
people of the Pacific slope to purchase
sugar as cheaply as it can be bought in
the East, has eventuated in the establish
ment of q monopoly as formidable as it
is shameful. The aim of the govern
ment has thus been frustrated for one
man. A certain Spreckles controls the
entire sugar trade of Hawaii The fol-
lowing extract from a San Francisco
journal fully explains the situation:
"The story of the way Spreckles
established the monopoly is interesting.
The sugar refners of the East pay a
duty to the United States of from 81 to
cents per pound on every pound of raw
sugar they import, and then work it up
and offer it at 2 cents per pound cheaper
than Spreckles does, who pays no gov
eminent duty on large proportion of
his raw sugars. With the help of the
Central Pacific Railroad he keeps East
ern sugar out of the California market
and keeps up his own prices. He makes
the most of his raw sugar on the labor
contract plantations in the Sandwich
Islands, and much cheaper than the East
ern refiners can buy raw sugar in Cuba or
in Louisiana. He brings it in without
duty, yet sugar is two cents per pound
higher here than in the East. That, and
the customs duty unpaid, represents
Spreckles' profits When he began gro
GERS sent East for their sugar. Then he
issued an order that any one who bought
Eastern sugars could get none from him.
While railroad freight was only one cent
per pound on sugars grocers were lnde
pendent of him. Suddenly, on the 1st
OF January, he and the railroad became
friends, freight rates on sugars were
doubled, and every grocer had to yield
or get out of the business"

In an article on political contests now
waging in several States, the New York
Tribune asserts that the main contest
will be at the South, and it emphatically
states that if Malone prevails in his
present fight Virginia will lose her Demo
cratic Senator next year, and that other
and far more important results will fol
low. What are these results? The
Tribune states them briefly and clearly,
viz: That the seate of Senators Lamar
of Mississippi, Harris of Tennessee, But
Ter Of South Carolina, and Hill of Geor
gia, will be in danger. In other words,
it predicts that five, if not more, of the
Southern States will choose Republican
Senators at the earliest opportunity.

The Russian Government ana the
Jews.

There seems to be disposition on the
part of the Russian Government to give
more respectful attention to the com
plants of the Jews, though it has not
yet intimated any intention of removing
their disabilities. On the other hand, a
circular recently issued by the govern.
ment says:
while energetically putting down the
disorders in order to protect the Jews
from violence, the government recog-
nizes the need of equally energetic steps
for removing the present abnormal rela-
tions between the Jews and the native
population, and for protecting the PEG
pie from that injurious activity of the
Jews, which, as loyal information shows,
was the cause of the agitation.
At subsequent interview Of a Jewish
deputation with the new Minister of the
Interior, Count Ignatieff. he intimated
to them that if they were DESTROYS Of
promoting agriculture they could utilize
at least part of the extensive tracts of
land held by Jews in the South of Rus
STA, that they could have the right to &C
quire lands where there was no likeli-
hood Of a collision between them and
the indigenous population, and that
means would be found to prevent any
repetition of the recent outrages.

A Wolf In sheen,s Clothing.

The Rev. ]. J. Stein, of Leavenworth,
Kansas, has been arrested in New York
for stealing. He was charged with max
ing way with some blankets and an over
coat, and he admitted the theft and
begged Mr.. Clair, the owner. to let him
go, saying that he was pastor of highly
respectable congregation. and had a wife
and eight children. He said that he
did not know what tempted him to
steal He showed letters of intro
duction from some eminent Western
clergymen. Mr.. Clair, however,
determined to make an example
of him. Stein was taken to the Tombs.
Mr.. Clair made two complaints against
him for burglary and larceny, and the
proprietor of the St. Nicholas Hotel
made another complaint against him for
"beating" the hotel and stealing blankets.
The reverend thief was committed to the
Tombs without bail He is about fifty
two years old. When searched after his
arrest sixty-fve dollars in money. set
of skeleton keys and numerous railroad
tickets, issued on the strength of his pro-
fession, were found in his possession.

The cotton seed mills of the South
ought to do well this year. From all
portions of the country comes the infOr.
nation that the amount of seed to the
staple is unprecedented in the history OF
cotton. The average in Mississippi this
season is reported to be 1000 pounds of
seed to bale of lint. Whereas, in other
years, it rarely exceeds 1900 pounds.
The result will be, if the same average
holds good for the entire country, a
heavy excess of production in cotton
seed. The receipts of cotton seed at
New Orleans would seem to indicate
this. At that port there has been receiv-
ed to date 271, 1S1 sacks of cotton seed,
as against 175, 900 last year, an increase
of 81 per cent The cotton receipts for
the same period have increased but
slightly, less than per cent.

The Imnrored locomotive.

If extended use confirms the claims
of theory, and the indications so far
furnished by practical tests, the locomo-
tive of the future is the "Fontaine, so
named from its inventor. The most
striking feature of the new engine is a
large wheel, whose circumference
touches that of the ordinary driving
wheel and gives motion to it. This
wheel is perched on top of the latter,
and is connected with the piston rod by
means of the ordinary crank attachment.
The driving wheel has no direct connec-
ton with the piston rod, as in the ordi-
nary locomotive, but, as said above, is
operated by friction with the edge of the
upper wheel. The advantage of this
arrangement is obvious. as it gives
greater leverage to the power exerted
by the piston rod in its to-and fro
movement. In the ordinary locomotive
the driving wheel, with the crank at
tached, may be considered a lever ''Of
the second class" the point where the
wheel rests on the rail being the fulcrum,
the centre of the wheel being the point
where the weight of the train is applied,
and the end of the crank being the point
of application of the power. As the crank
is shorter than the half diameter of the
driving wheel, there is evidently very little
purchase, as the power is applied to
the shorter end of the lever, but by the
Fontaine arrangement increased length
of leverage is obtained. The result is
theoretical gain of 80 per cent. and
practical gain of 30 per cent. over the
old style of locomOtive-a gain which
may be put in the form of increased
speed with the ordinary amount of fuel
and load, or, with the ordinary speed
and load a large saving of fOel.

History repeats itself sometimes in
a very striking manner. When Hayes,
upon the recommendation of Secretary
Sherman, removed Arthur from the New
York Collectorship, the Senate refused
to acquiesce in the appointment of his
successor; but as soon as Congress ad
journed the removal was effected, and
Arthur was ousted. So now when
Arthur himself wished to remove the
battle.scarred Federal soldier, Wilson,
from the Lynchburg post Office aud give
the place to Statham, a Readiuster ex-
Confederate, so that he might aid the
repudiationists in carrying the State, the
Senate refused to permit him to do So;
yet as soon as the Senate adjourned
Arthur did remove Wilson, and placed
Statbam in possession of the office This
is rather singular coincidence, to say
the least.
