EXCITEMENT OVER TIE Loss OF TwRNTY-FOUR
SHEETS OF FIBER PAPER.
Quite commotion was caused In the Treasury
department yesterday afternoon by the loss of "a
sheets OF the fiber paper upon which inter-
nal revenue stamps are printed. Upon inves-
tigation it was discovered that the bun
die OF paper had dropped from the
truck by which it was being carried from one room
to another. After searching the corridors
the missing sheets were found scattered In
every direction. The bundle Lad come
apart, and some OF the sheets were found
covered with sand and tobacco stained Some
osIty, and then rolled up and thrown aside.
One was on the outside portico and two
in one OF the sand pits, which are called the mann
moth cuspadores. All were recovered, with the eX-
ception OF small piece OF one OF the sheets The
paper is not particularly valuable but 1t Is watched
as carefully as the distinctive paper on which bank
notes are printed.

ADRIAN STEVENS HEWITT is loom
ing mp OF late very pronouncedly as a
Democratic candidate for President. We
do not think, however, that New York
will furnish the nominee this year.
Many OF the same journals which are dis
cussing Hewitt favorably in this con.
nection also mention Rosecrans for the
second place on the ticket. We do not
discern on the Pacific Coast any very
marked prediction for the gallant Gen.
eral in connection with this great office.
As member of the House ot Repre-.
sentatives General Rosccrans has been
and will be of great service to the peo.
pile. In our opinion, General Hancock
has an excellent chance of being the
Democratic nominee-uot an over.
shadowing but good chance. should
he be nominated Governor Hoadly, OF
Ohio, would probably be selected to le nd
strength to the ticket in the West, as
the candidate for Vice President. Should
Hancock not be renominated, lloadly
would swing TO the front very i'm
pressively, and such ticket as Hoadly
and Hewitt would have great elements
OF strength. After Hancock and Hoadly,
ex.United States Senator Joseph +, Nc.
Donald appears, just now, to possess
most availability for the Presidency.
There seems to be tacit agreement
amongst Democrats all over the United
States to give New York the go-by
IN selecting the principal standard
bearer. This determination has been
founded ON the belief that Mr.. John
Kelly and Tammany Hall, of late years,
exist for the sole purpose Of selling out
the Democratic party at the critical mo-.
n.ent. With Ohio aud Indiana assured
to the Democracy, we do not need New
York; and, when it is conelusively es.
tablished that we do not need her, her
ELECTORAL votes will be quite readily at
oar service That Hancock or Hoadly
OF Mcdonald could carry both of these
States we do not doubt for moment.
The Ohio platform, on which Hoadly
was elected Governor, is the true ma.
tional key note, and ought to be adopted
in the Democratic national pronuncia.

WAVING all questions as to the de-
partmental administration Of the Signal
Service office at Washington, there can
be no question that this bureau of the
government has been of immense =, rvice
to the people. II is Of special efficacy
in a region characterized by such capri.
cions seas rms as the Pacific Coast. The
HERALD heartily endorses the sugges-
ton OF the Chief Sigual officer Of the
Army to the Secretary Of War, as EN-
bodied in his report for the current year,
from which we quote the following pas
sage:
again call attention 10 the necessity
of separate office. under the charge Of
an instructed officer, on the Pacific
Coast. II q weather service for the conn
try is to bc maintained, this important
region should not be neglected as il has
been. The climatic conditions there dif-
fer from those that obtain In the other
parts OF the country. There are now
only eleven stations on the Pacific Coast,
and there should be many more, all in
charge of an officer with headquarters at
San Francisco. In order 10 carry out its
owa purposes and the wishes Of the peo.
pie oil the Coast, the Signal Service must
have more officers, more men and more
money than have been given it for the
current year.
Certainly in no respect has the pres
cient intelligence Of the age been shown
more conspicuously than in the impor'
tance which the public riohtly attaches
to this branch Of the national admins.
tration. In the main, outside Of certain
obnoxious features at Washington. it has
been managed with the efficiency and
intelligence which generally signalize
the work done by officers OF the United
States Army. The additional appropri.
atoms asked for in order to perfect the
system on the Pacific Coast should be
cheerfully conceded to the bureau. We
trust that our Pacific Coast members will
be responsive to the needs Of the hour.

OSE Of our Eastern contemporaries
has re,urreoted that political mummy.
Simon Cameron. They have unrolled
from his emacated form the cerements
of the grave. galvanized him for the
nonce and started him into talking about
the next Presidential election. All our
recellections Of this venerable relict are
associated with his spoliatiors Of the
Winnebago Indians and with his expul-
sion from Lincoln's Cabinet. for rank
corruption, at the request of two-thirds
Of the Republican members Of Congress,
before he had got fairly warm in his seat
there. No sooner was the crank turned
which set old Simon to talking than he
began to shout aloud for the bloody
shirt. We are pleased to see the Re-
publican party drifting in this direction.
1t Is another exemplicaiion of the old
adage, "Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" There could not
well be better Phillippi for party
which has outlived all its great men aud
all its principles than the bloody shirt.
This ensanguiued garment, II taken from
the political property room OF the Re
publican party, will serve most excl.
lently as a shroud for that once energet
and sagacious organization.

Tun death Of Herr Lasker will prove
a great blow to the liberal cause in Ger.
many. Absolutism. in the splendid
German land, has had for over thirty
years too great an ascendancy. Every.
thing hos gone one way, and the still
small voice Of the people has counted tor
altogether too little in the administra.
tion Of Its public concerns. The Prince
Of Blood and Iron has had his own
way 80 long that it seems o pity to
see everything of popular impulse,
through the death Of Lasker, condemned
to additional penitential experiences.
The probability is extreme, however,
that the subsidence Of moderate liberals
will lead to the unexpected and powerful
prominence of the extremists. AS long
as the superb old German Emperor and
his historical Chancellor live, we cannot
reasonably look for any positive asser.
tioa Of the Republican idea in Germany.
Probably no sovereign who ever reigned

IT looks as II the skeleton of Willard
will soon be picked bare by the vultures

prising man recalls the episodes Of
George Law and Pereire in the magnitude
Of the operations which he conducted
