Those aspiring retail dealers uptown who
swell their trade 10y giving to each perspiring
customer an aesthetic fan will perhaps feel
worried when they read about the case OF
Samuel Obreight. The relatives Of this young
Hebrew. who married a Christian, declare that
ne is insane, and want him shut up. As clear
proof of lunacy il is stated that he bought a
gross of fans that would assume curious
snapes. and distributed them to the policemen
in the ncishborhooj of his liquor store. One
STYLE looked like champagne bottle and
Samuel says he gave them away as on adver-
,i>cmrnt of his business. That Is just what
all our shrewd drygOOdS men say, and more
leycl-headed business managers it would be
hard TO find.
Mr.. JAY A. IIubbeu has been asked to select
q victim. and the Civil Service Reform AssO-
citation expresses Willingness TO walk right
I'D and perform the sacrifice. This has an
energetic, business-like air, but the trouble
Will be to find any Government employe
VINO. having contributed to the election fund,
will be willing also to offer himself up as a
tost case. This would be worse than losing
. per cent of his pay as it might cost him
all. Mr. IIubbell cannot arraign himself at
the bar. it will be noticed, for the Reform
Association say they will have none of him.
They leave him to Congress and his con-
srtuents His own position in the controversy,
therefore. will not trouble Mr. Hubbeu much.
1t looks, after all, as if the association would
Lave 10 work up their own case.
1t will be seen by reference to the report OF
yesterdays proceedings in Congress that Dir.
Mills, who represents one OF the Texas dis
trcts. entertans extraordinary views In regard
90 the true inwardness of the pending bill to
reduce internal revenue taxation. In the course
of the debate upon it he characterized it as a
measure TO perpetuate the public debt and pre-
vent its being paid " in order that that indebt-
"edness should serve as a cause for perpetu-
Eating the National banking system to prey
continually upon the people of the country"
This is as good an article Of nonsense as has
been set loose in Congress this session. OF
course Mr.. MiIls's only idea in uttering it was
10 get whack at the National banking sys-
TEN. No Democrat in Congress feels quite sat
listed until he has butted his head against the
granite of that system. And since II
e not at all hurt by the blows, and they seem
70 afford comfort to the Democracy. why should

work which Is reserved for this efficient BODY d
naval officers and seamen is, unhappily, very meagre'
DE Longs men have been found; Cmpps boat was
undoubtedly swamped at sea, and the search Tor the

If tho American colony. which has been recruited
from the ends Of the earth. cannot find anything
else to do, it can rebuild the signal tower at the
northern mouth and, hanging out barometer and
Thermometer, supplement the scientific work con-
Quoted at Lady Franklin Bay and Point Barrow.
This would be- a neat way of recipr0cating the kind
offices Of The Russian Government to the Jeanette
survivors. Their Geographical Society has planned
founding a scientific colony at the mouth OF the
Lena during this season. Our colony, being
already on the ground. can offer to do all the
heavy work and leave the Russian observers
to make themselves thoroughly comfortable az

be allowed to come home and adapt his

can roast beef But the remaining officers have an
opportunity of doing handsome thing for the Rus
sian observers. The great risk involved IN the I'M
dcrtaking would be the difficulty Of restraining the
ardor of the enthusiastic members OF me
party, who not personally attached to scientific
instruments 1t is not every naval officer who dotes
on barometer Ifeither the ensign or the pay-clerk
were to be missed after curlcw, it would be taken
for granted that NJ had uumoored one Of the dores

might make II necessary 10 send the Alliance 10

sula IN view Of this contingency and OF the cruises
in high ATTITUDES which might ensue, the Navy
Department may consider it prudent to recall this
