the boss system in Pennsylvania, Don

good. The feeling that existed before the
election has practically disappeared. The
Republicans have seen the folly of fighting
among themselves, and think with prop
er management we can easily regain the
state"
"What do you think of Cameron's fu-
ture?" asked your correspondent.
Cameron has sung his song, and his
days are numbered. We will hear nothing
more of him after the expiration of his
term in the senate. He will not be re-
elected, and what is more, do not think
he will be candidate
"Who do you think will succeed him?"
"That is difficult to predict at this time.
l think, however, his successor will be a
conservative Republican who does not be-
lieve in trampling upon the will of the
people for private or mercenary ends"
The Garfield monument fair is to be
opened on Saturday, but the present ap-
pearance of the rotunda and statuary hall
| indicate that extraordinary celebrity in fin
ishing the fittings and getting the exhib-
| its will be necessary If the work is to be
completed in three and half days more.
The booths in statuary hall and the pagoda
| in the center of the rotunda are still in
complete. Only part of the pictures
for the art exhibit are hung and scarcely
any of the other exhibits are in place. The
| art exhibit will be of fair quality, but not
equal to exhibits often seen at the Chicago
exposition, or to be seen two or
| three times year in New York
galleries Most OF the pictures will be for
sale, and they come in about equal num-
bers from this city. New York and Phila-
| delphia. The managers are still hoping
to secure Mrs. A. T. Stewards Messonier as
an attraction. The desire to make this
exhibit representative display of Aneri-
can art will not be realized, as many lead
! ing artists will not be represented at all,
and the committee is compelled to exercise
much irmness to prevent the walls of the
rotunda from being covered with the most
inferior pictures.
Wall street operators have had every
reason to suppose that when they
wanted the help of the treas
ury to make money easier and
help prices up, Secretary Folger would ac-
commodate them with alacrity, but they
have to-day met with disappointment.
The bulls appealed to the secretary to-day
to buy per cents. at the market rate for
the purpose of relieving the stringency,
but the financier whoi relieves the money
market by paying interest that the gov
srnment does not owe could not find any
authority for buying in per cents. at a
high premium for the sake of averting q
shrinkage in values which must, of course,
be due to the fact that Grover Cleve
land has been elected governor of
New York. It may be, however,
that the secretary lis just as
anxious to relieve the market
and avert shrinkage as he ever was, but he
does not appreciate the necessities of the
bulls of Wall street so we'll when he is in
his office in the treasury department as he
does when he is in New York, and the
fellows who need to borrow money at low
rates can explain their painful condition
to him personally.
A Washington lawyer claims to have
unearthed an old Maryland law which
will cause fiutter in the politics of that
| state should it be determined that the law
is yet operative. The passage of the law
dates back well nigh a century. Under
its provisions Mr.. Chapman claims that
all adult males who have
resided the legal length
of time in the District of Columbia are
entitled to vote at the nearest Maryland or
Virginia polling place. The effect of this
law, should it be proven that it. is still in
force or can be enforced, would be to give
the counties contiguous to this city de-
cided congressional increase and thousands
of voters. This law was referred to several
years ago by several lawyers of this city,
who discovered its existence, but no action
was taken. 1t begins to look now as
though, if there is anything tangible in
the old statute, it will be brought to the
attention of the authorities.
'And how they can avoid declaring it
operated" said we'll known lawyer yes
terday, sis mystery to me. They will
either have to repeal it or give us vote"
"Thus conscience doth make towards of
us all" This is the way it strikes Col
Henderson, who seems to have compressed
good deal of what is not in a short space.

Republican congressional committee.
