Judge Gresham Secretary of the
Treasury.


WASHINGTON, Sept 2j.-Judge w.
q. Gresham, postmaster-general, re-
ceived telegram from the president
at II o'clock last night informing him
of mis- appointment to the secretary
ship OF the treasury. He imme-
diately qualified and sent the pres
ldent his resignation as postmaster
general. AT 10 o'clock this morning
Judge Gresham went TO the treasury
with Secretary Chandler. The two
assistant secretaries of the treasury,
French and Coon, were presented and
rendered their congratulations. The
new secretary left here this evening to
consult with the president. Under
the law First Assistant Postmaster.
General Hstton becomes acting post
master-general for ten days.
MIR. COON MADE ASSISTANT sEcRE-
TARY.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The presi-
dent to-day designated Assistant Sec
rotary Coon TO act as assistant secretary
OF the treasury during the absence or
sickness at any time of Secretary
Gresham. Assistant French has
always acted in this capacity. Mr..
Coon was also authorized by the score
tary to sign in his stead all war
rants for payment into the public
treasury and all warrants for disburse-
ment from the public treasury, of
money certiTed by the proper officers
Of the treasury. Similar authority to
sign warrants during the absence or
sickness of the assistant secretary was
given Assistant French.
All the bureau and division officers
OF the department called ON the new
secretary about noon and were pre-
sented by Mr.. Coon. Mr..
Neal, solicitor of the treasury,
has been called TO Boston by the sick
ness of his wife.
The Star says that Judge Gresham
knew that he might be called on to
take the place In contingency. The
contingency was the inability 10 OBJ
tain a decisive answer from a gentle
man the president had In view. Judge
Gresham accepted as matter of ae-
COMMUNICATION 10 the president and his
intimate friends gay that II Is only Of
temporary duration. The appoint
ment Is commonly fixed till October /.
when II il believed Judge Gresham
Will resign and accept n iudgeshlp In
the Illinois circuit. IL Is believed that
Battlewell or McCulloch will take the
secretarysbip upon Judge Gresham's
retirement. Acting Postmaster.Gen
eral Hatton will most likely be placed
at the head OF the post-ofiice depart

POLITICAL.


the charge was false. He said he was
not the representative Of any class
against any other class, and that II he
was any ones friend he was certainly
the friend OF the worklngman, the
statements OF others to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
Mr. Walsh followed the governor in
short speech, saying that he
was not making this trip
with his eNcellency for the purpose of
talking to the people, but to talk with
them and find out their sentiments on
the lease-law question. He said that
THE GAZETTE and Clipper (Colorado)
were doing more IN keep the actual
settlers away from the frontier than
other causes. That these papers state
ments were kept ~ standing adver-
tisements In paperS in the North TO
deter people from coming here; that
the poor man had not been heard in
this discussion Of free grass, and that
this same poor man cared nothing
about 1t. He then gave figures
showing the amounts of revenue
derived and to be derived from leasing
the school lands. He was opposed 10
any change until the present laws had
been more fully tested.
This was the substance of Capt.
Walsh's remarks. There are many
free-grass men who are OF the same
opinion still, and will continue so.
Gov. Ireland and Capt. Walsh left
on the 6:56 train for Henrietta.

Dear Com and Cheap Wheat.

The unusual circumstance is now
witnessed in the grain markets OF the
Northwest OF corn selling dearer than
wheat. A like occurrence, It is be-
lieved, has never been known in this
country. II must be some weeks yet
before the standing corn crop will be
thrown on the market in large enough
quantities TO reduce the price, and we
may look for dear corn and cheap wheat
for some while. The great corn
growing states of Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas and Missouri will not begin to
market their crops before November,
and It will be several weeks before
such a quantity will be thrown on the
market as to affect prices largely.
Proof of this Is to be had In the
future quotations on change, where
October corn is quoted at IS cents and
November at Az. September corn,
which OF course includes only the old
crop, is firm at as cents. General
estimates of the department Of agrl-
culture and of commercial agencies
throughout the country allow
greater yield of corn this year
than ever before in the country,
and when this immense crop
is thrown on the market prices will
decline to very low figure. The
money will be made by the farmers
who can get their crops in first, before
the drop comes. Advantage of pri-
GRITTY is TO be had only through the
Influence OF favorable climate. In
the same ATTITUDES there can be no
general advantage gained in point of
time. Missouri, Kansas aud Illinois
will mature their corn at about the
same time, and this will be some
weeks before Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Michigan crops are ripe. This is
an important point for Texas farmers
to consider.
In this state corn Is knee-high and
usually has had its first blowing when
land is being broke up" for crop In
Minnesota. 1t follows that our corn
is ready for the market corresponds
ingly in advance Of that In the more
northern states, and indeed there Is
no part of Texas where the farmer can
not market his corn in the early part
of October. The advantage of an early
season and the highest prices are all
with the Texas farmer. The entire
product of this state could be thrown
on the market weeks before Northern
farmers could gather their corn, ard
the very highest prices obtained, indeed
the price would correspond TO the cold
crop" in Northern markets. To be
sure, our farmers would be at great
disadvantage in having to pay freight
charges for the long haul to Chicago;
but they need not send there. Other
markets may not be 80 inviting as that,
but when prices are high in one of the |
leading markets they are correspond
lngly advanced in others. The same
general effect regulates them all. |
While corn is quoted at 75 in Chicago
1t is 65 In New Orleans. Moreover,
New Orleans not being the center of |
great corn-growing region, will hold |
up better under the late crop, and |
prices will be better maintained than
in Chicago.
