The convention of agriculturalists
which recently closed its session in
Chicago, declined by very narrow
vote-& yeas to q nays--to recon-.
mend that American live cattle and
meats for export should be Inspected.
This says the Inter Ocean, is proba-
bly, to Ike regretted, as it lie simply a
question OF gratifying II German
customers and of cost. If the profits
Of sending pork to Germany and
France, or the loss which results
from its Prohibition, be 6 eater than
the cost Of inspecting it here before it
goes, there would seem to be no real
business objection to having it in
spected. AS the German inspection
system would cover the ease of live
exports, the convention should at
least have recommended an Ameri.
can system Of inspection for exported
meats if not for animals.

GEORGE O.

"a EE& &MGf
This ma Gorham is bound to be q
disturbing element in the oreaniza-
tion of the United States Senate. He
is to the Republican party what But
lar is to the Democratic perty-an ele-
phant which either patty would glad
~ exchange for . yellow dog, and
then kill the dog. Gorham Is a man
| of brains and as multsh and obstinate
AZ he is cheeky. He wants the Sec
retarysbip of the Senate. and if he
don't get it there is going to be music
in the air about Washington.
His friends assert that if he should
again be nominated for Secretary,
Malone would vote with the Reput-
licans ON the question of reoreaniza
ton; otherwise not. They also assert
that Gorham can secure the caucus
nomination, but that does aot seem
probable. A California Republican
recently said: "Gorham is not 'egard-
ed as a good Republican in California
now. and I don't see how Senator
Miller could afford to support his
pretensions or vote for him in caucus.
His promotion would be regarded
with general disfavor by the Republi-
cans of California, and his share as
editor in the controversy which led
to the overthrow of bossism in New
York and Pennsylvania has not been
forgotten, and it may prove a greater
weight than he can carry"
Notwithstanding he has any num-
Der of enemies in his own party Cor
ham is going in to win. OF course
it will place Senators in an embar-
RAISING position, for more than one
who voted for him two years ago has
been heard to declare he would be
placed in a very unenviable position
if the Republicans should attempt to
organize the Senate On any plan
which should include Gorham as a
candidate for the Secretaryship. In
speaking OF this matter a Washing
ton correspondent sage: There is rea-
son to believe it has more than once
been suggested to the President that
he might relieve not only the Re-
publican Senators, but his Admins
tration also, from embarrassment by
Gorham an appointment at a
distance from Washington. To" do
this, it is said, the answer has been
that the President could not afford to
confer an Office upon Gorham, not
because he might fail 70 perform the
but on account Of the general
disfavor, not to sayindignation, with
which the appointment would be re-
ceived by Republicans generally.
Gorham is the white elephant Of the
party lust now.
