MEssRs. BENZ. F. BUTLER, VIM. Dorsheimer,
and Roswell p. Flower have engaged roomy
quarters in Chicagos biggest hotels for the
second week in July, None of these gentle
men appear to be troubled with that keen
sense of propriety that drove Senator Harri-
son out of Chicago the moment he began to
suspect he was in danger of being made a
presidential candidate None of the demo-
cratic brethren in the foregoing list will ever
run away from such little thing as a presi-
Dental nomination. There is no nonsense
about them. They will have headquarters
and barrels and will take pleasure in person
ally experimenting the distribution of the
contents of the aforesaid barrels.

"You referred to Judge Folger just now.
DO you mean that the men you refer to
really cared for FolgerW
mo; not all of them. But Judge Folger
had many friends. The coldness with which
Folger was supported by the Tribune in 1852
if he was supported-the encouragement it
gave to boiling, the industry with which it
found fault, must rankle in many breasts
now when they SEQ Mr.. Blaino's only supporter
in the city press attacking boilers and fault
finders"
"But is it right to hold Mr.. Blaine re-
sponsiblo for the Tribune's past sins"
mo perhaps not. Yet it is human nature
to do so, for the Tribune has been Mr.. Blaines
supporter both before and since 1882, and,
moreover, Blaine himself unfortunately gave
direct encouragement TO tho boilers. You
don't remember that, you sayy Why you
ought to remember that in October, 1882, in
the midst of the Folger canvass Mr.. Blaine
wrote and published e letter TO Dick Har-
rington, chairman Of tho Delaware state COIN

not keeping an engagement 70 speak in
Delaware and giving that state lots Of tally,
he went on in effect TO say that Judge Folgcr
was nominated by fraud, and chat boiling was

THE fight among democratic factions of
New York is thought by many to DO Il Tart
of a deep.laid plot to aid Mr. Dana in the ac-
complishment of his great ambition to be-
come the nominee of his party for tho prosi-
dency. A portion of Mr.. TiIden's letter was
printed in the Euening Star of this city and
other papers nearly two months ago. Tho
story is that Mr.. Tilden was persuaded to de-
fer tho formal publication of the epistle to
give tho friends of Gov. Cleveland time
TO work up q boom to the prejudice of ox'
Senator Mcdonald, Senator Bayard' and other
aspiring gentlemen whose eyes have been
turned toward tho white house for lol
these many years. The delay has unque''
tionably worked to their disadvantage but
the result shows that hostile force has been

THE COAST SURVEY.
Brief Sketch OF the Transfers That Have
Taken Place Since the Service Was
Organized.

Brief Sketch OF the Transfers That Have
Organized.
The proposition now being considered in
the appropriations committee to abolish tho
coast and geodetic survey as separate
service, and to transfer its photographic work
to the navy department and the goodetlc work
to tho geological survey, is attracting good
deal of attention in official aud scientific
circles.
The act Of Feb. TO- 1907, which created
the coast survey. gave the management and
direction of it to the treasury department
and it remained in the control of that
department until 1877, when the bill making
appropriations for the work contained n
proviso that tho survey should be conducted
only by naval officers.
This state of things lasted until 1882, when
the survey was reorganized, and the conduct
of the work reassigned to tho treasury de-
partment. In 1884 the coast survey, as an
organization, was transferred to the navy
department by an executive order, the
matter being at that time within the control
Of the president, and remained under tho
direction of that department until 1886,
when it was again returned to the treasury
department. In December, 1882 tho secre-
tary of the navy, in his annual report,
recommended the transfer TO his department
of the coast survey, the revenue marine, the
life saving service, and the lighthouse board.
The question OF transfer, however, so far as
it relates to the coast survey, has again been
raised-this time in the appropriations COM
mittee-and it seems probable that the trans
fer will be recommended. 1t is argued in
support of the proposed change that the
scientific survey Of the coast has now been
virtually completed; that the work which
remains to be done is mostly photographic
work, and that it can be performed by the
navy department as efficiently as by the
survey bureau, and with great gain in
economy.
| The officers of tho coast survey and theii
friends are, of course, antagonizing tho trans.

IT is the supreme necessity Of uniting not only
the discordant democratic clements in New York,
hut of getting the party in supporting distance OF
thg boiling republicans that has hushed the strife
between Tammany, Irving, and the county demo
Gratis of New York, and made them either cor.
daily support or acquiesce in the nomination OF
Cleveland. If this support or acquiescence IL as
cordial and honest It now seems on the surface,
Cleveland will undoubtedly be presented by the
Saratoga convention, and will be given u delega'
tiou to Chicago earnestly devoted to the task OF
nominating Philadelphia TIMES.
All of which is very pretty reading in view
of the proceedings at the Tammany meeting
Saturday night. Tammany's cordial sup
port" of Cleveland is beautifully illustrated
by the tremendous applause which greeted
sachem Grady's statement that 'it would bo
death not only TO Tammany hail. but to tho
democratic party, to place such man in
power in the white house."

THE Chicago Tribune has resurrected and
rcpublished an editorial written by George
William Curtis, which appeared in Hdrper's
Weekly May 49, 1876, defending Mr.. Blaine
against the charges made against him in
connection with the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad. Mr.. Curtis at that time,
with q full knowledge of all that was to be
said against Mr.. Blaine in that connection,
and also of the evidence in his favor, as
embodied in his statement to tho house, pro-
nounced the latter to bo "as thorough a
refutation as was ever made. aud, in the
absence of other evidence, leaves him un.
spotted" No other evidence having since
appeared. it must naturally result that Mr..
Curtis holds Mr.. Blaine innocent of the most
serious charge ever preferred against him, or
else Mr.. Curtis of 'S4 must ropudiate Mr..
Curtis OF '76.

Gen. Washburn says active work will be be-
gun within ten days on the first sixty miles
OF the Sault Ste. Marie road. Steel has been
purchased for 100 miles of track, and it is
| thought the road will be carried to the Wis
| consin river this year.
The inquiries at the st. Paul & Manitoba
road for emigrant rates are largely in excess
of those Of last year, and from the number
of aeceptances it is evident that there is q
very large emigration in prospect. The peo-
pie are coming mostly from Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, New York and Missouri.
| Another reducti on in lumber rates to Dem
yer has been made to apply only from Mis-
sissippi river points. The new rate from
such points will be 80 cents instead of 35
cents, as announced few days ago. This
makes the same differental on lumber rates
to Denver as is now in force to Missouri
river points. The rate from Chicago to Den.
yer remains at 81 cents per 100 pounds.

CHICAGO March S.-The situation among
northwestern lines has little of encourage
ment for lovers of peace and prosperity, and
a calm survey of the excitement attend
ing Fridays meeting has in manner died
away, adds to the blackness of the prospect.
There is little or no prospect that the general
managers can be got together before next
Saturday, and if something is not done prior
to that time everybody will be freed from all
restraint to maintain rates. The Northwest
ern Traffic association will on that day begin
its final rest, and the war which must ensue
if no association is formed to take its place
will begin. President Cable left to-day
for Colorado with the avowed purpose of re-
naming away until March 18th, two DAYS
after his notice of Withdrawal expires. Gen
eral Manager Hughitt will return on the 18th
but will leave at once for New
York where be will remain about
ten days. Without the presence
of these gentlemen in Chicago some
time before the 18th there can be no posi-
bility of arresting the progress of the de-
moralization which threatens. 1t is not pro-
bable that rates will be cut before the
dissolution of the association, but unless THE
UNEXPECTED should happen in the meantime
lively engagement will begin at that time.

NEW YORK, March S.-The week closes on
very dull and uninteresting market for all
concerned. The day has been even duller
than yesterday. No demand existed from
any quarter for stocks, and but few seemed
to care tomeddle with them ON the short
side. The bank statement showed decrease
in specie of about $4,000, 600, and in reserve
of nearly s6,OO0,OoO. The grangers were
unfavorably affected by the failure on the
part of the managers to patch up place,
and cloud hung over all the
western lines in consequence. The
coal stocks, are fortunately not subject to
semi-weekly wars and cutting of rates hold
their own all day. When we are treated to
more activity in the general market we ex-
pect to see them the fayorites again. The
market continued perfectly lifeless during
the latter part of the session with hardly a
transaction in any stock. The exchange
was deserted early, many brokers departing
before the gong struck. The outlook is not
very encouraging for any immediate change
for the better right away. New York
Central has declared its usual quarterly
dividend of 2 per cent. The gold shipments
were 81, 100000. The closing prices on
stocks were about the best for the day.
Henry Clews & Co. say: 1.-THE stock mar
ket, like the human system, seems to have a
certain stock of inherent vitality upon which
overdrafts cannot be made except at the ex-
pense of future economy in point of activity
in order to replenish its reduced strength.
The market is now apparently undergoing
such a period of rest in an en-
deavor to fecuperate from its present
feverish activity occassioned by the artificial
stimulants administered to Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western. Closing prices to-day
were SO near the opening ones that it would
be difficult for even the most prejudiced bull
