The Coming Cabinet.


Washington, Nov. IA special says
Blaine expresses freely his views of the
next cabinet. 1t will, he says, be Grant
from top to bottom after January first.
lie thinks Frelinghusen will be secreta-
ry OF state. Judge Folger was recon-
mended by Grant and Conkling to Gar
field for secretary of the treasury last
winter. The business of James in New
York will probably make a vacancy in
the postmaster-generalship after Janu-
airy first, and a stalwart will be appoint
cd to succeed him. Blaine did not ex-
press an opinion regarding the war de-
partment. 1t is reported on good au-
thority that Grant is urging Beals for
the navy department. Beals is anxious
for the nomination, and Grants intim-
acy is marked. The recent nomination
of a practically Grant man is regarded
as significant. He has charge of the APP
pointment Office, while he practically
Z controls the appointment of all post
muster under those of the first ella, .

The Soeakersh;p OF the Next House.

Washington, Oct. 3l.-In view of the
approaching contest for the speakership
of the house for which Congressman
liiscock, kasson and Keller are the
prominent republican candidates, a
classification of the republican strength
by sections shows that the east will have
Us votes the west, including the Pacific
slope, Il; the south, Is. IIiscock ex-
poets to command the eastern vote and
he has more strength than any other
candidate, there being upwards of half
a dozen western candidates besides
Keller and kasson who look for from
two 10 ten votes each. kasson is an
alert and accomplished parllamentarian,
but labors under the disadvantage of
having been on OF congress during the
operation Of the new house rules. Be-
sides, the republicans will have need of
such men as he on the floor. Hiscock
has never been of much use on the floor.
and SO might easily spared, although he
would make a tame speaker by com
parison with Mr.. Randall. Since there
seems little doubt that the republicans
will elect a speaker, hardly any selection
could be more fortunate for the dem
ocrats than that Of keifer, who could be
relied upon to be VIGOROUSLY incompe-
tent except in the matter of believing,
at which he is an adept. The indica-
tions all point to Hiscock's nominations:
The democrats will probably give Mr..
Randall a complimentary vote.

Death Of one Of the James-Young Gang.
Kansas City, Nov. 3.--lnformation was
received here the other day which
proves beyond a doubt that Ed. Miller,
one of the noted band OF train robbers
had been killed in southwestern Mis-
souri, by jesse James. Miller took part
ia the FIRST robbery Of the Chicago and
Alton railway, and at Winston, on the
Rock Island, and was born and raised
in Jackson county. AT er the Winston
affair Jesse James went south, but Mil
Ter, Dick Little and Jim Cummings re-
Giained in this section of the country
until about Il month ago, when they
went TO the southern portion of thC
state and were joined bv Jesse james
Miller and Cummings had been counting
the same girl. and had trouble regardin,
the matter, and ut last came to blows
Jesse James interfered and told theul
they were Id fools to be fighting oxen
a woman while they were being hunted
like wolves, and had better protect
themselves first. The day following
KILLER accused Jesse James of "fooling''
with his girl, when the latter drew Il
revolver and shot him dead, and his
body was left by the roadside. Another
version is that Jesse James sided with
Cummings about the girl, which dis
pleased Miller, who threatened to leave
the gang, and for this Jesse killed him.
The details Of the killing are told by ex-
bushwhackers and friends Of all parties
from Clay and Jackson counties, and are

A New Jury Commissioner.

A lengthy petition was presented
and read in the United States Circuit
Court Monday evening by General
Walker in behalf of The Democrats.
Tbe petition prayed for the removal OF
of Mr.. Hu!chens from the jury com
mission and the substitution Of a Dem
ocrat whose party record Was beyond
question. This action was asked for
on the ground that Mr.. Hutchens was
a member Of the Greenback party and
had voted for Col. Lowe twice. An
affidavit signed by Dau'l l.. Clark
affirmed these facts. Judge Pardee
granted the prayer Of the petitioners,
Judge Bruce concurring. Mr.. May

missioner, but decliued. The appoint
ment was then given to Mr.. j. L..

Star Route Investigations.

Senator Logan has called on the
Postmaster-Creneral and advised him
to prosecute to the utmost the star route
investigations, no matter how many
high in authority might be affected by
it. He said it would not hurt the re.
publican party, but to the contrary
would benefit it to expose any of its
tainted members, if they had been
guilty of wrong-dOing. Gen. Logan
spoke Of the period some years ago when
the military committee Of the House, of
which he was chairman, had brought
in resolution to OeXpel republican mem
bers because they had acted corruptly
in the matter of appointments to the
Military Academy at West Point. The
PoStmastcr-General said the advice was
good, hut that he had already deter
mined to relax no energy in the pros
eCution of the investigation The
Postmaster-General is u new man in
Washington, and has. therefore, no en-
tangling alliances with any of the
cliqueS or rings about here. None of
his personal friends are apt to be affect
ed, but it is said that if he keeps right
on he will catch some big fish.

A Brazilian Panic .

BRAZIL is experiencing II financial
panic, which has been brought about by
an attempt made by the merchants and
dealers to curtaiI the credit system.
The object aimed at is highly laudable,
but the immediate effect is disastrous.
The large planters have been accustom-
ed tc long credits, and prompt payment
is something SO foreign to their ideas of
business that they refuse to buy rather
than hand over the cash for what they
get. AS may be easily imagined, the
laws for the collection of debts in Bra
zil are exceeding detective, and the legal
machinery by which a creditor is
enabled to get his dues is weak and in
efficient. If the merchants can hold
out for "a year or two they will effect
revolution in the mode of doing business
which will be highly beneficial to the
empire.
