THERE is a growing impression
that Charles A. Dana, editor of the
New York Sun, desires to be presi-
dent of the United States. and hopes
to inherit the political capital OF
Samuel Jones Tilden-good will,
trademark, and unavenged wrongs.
He regards Governor Grover Cleye-
land as his most formidable rival for
the next Democratic nomination.
Well, we reckon Mr.. Dana, in spite of
being shot out of Tilden mortar,
will explode long before the mark is
reached; and this is not saying that
Grover Cleveland's gun is any bigger
or more powerful than that of Mr..
Dana.

For THE past several weeks the
printing bureau at Washington has
sent at the rate of a million and a

Besides, the internal revenue bureau

sheets, and the bureau is working a
full force, and many of the employees
labor over time to keep up with the
demand. AT no time in its history
has more work been turned out by
the bureau, and there is no prospect
of any slackening for some time. No
new designs are being made for the

SECRETARY FoLGER has been
studyi-g the question of pauper i'm
migration ever since he got Gov.
Buffers letter. The secretary finds
that it is forbidden by law but that
the law contains no penalty and is
practically nugatory. Ths United
States can and does send paupers
home, but it must be done at the ex-
pense of the home government,
and not at the expense of the
steamship companies. If the latter
cannot be mulcted in some way they
will, of course, continue to bring pau
pers over. The treasury department
finds that England Is assisting paupers
to Belgium, AMI then paying for their
transportation to the United States.
The secretary has asked the state de-
partment as to the propriety of this.

Crooks Eight DENIED

TUCSON, May 29.-Dispatches this
evening from Hermosillo contradict
the report that Crook had battle
with the Apaches on the 18th, saying
if the engagement had occurred
the authorities at that place would
have heard of it. The fact
is. Crook has been so maligned
and such abusive reports have been
sent over the country from some of
the Arizona and Texas papers, that he
is keeping his movement quiet, and it
will be impossible to get any news
from him till he has driven the A pach-
rs from their strong hold and the In
dian question of Arizona is settled.
