An Interesting Contest

The effort Of eX-COngressman Philip
Thompson, Jr., of Kentucky, to get the
office OF Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. appears TO be exciting more interest
in Washington than that Of any other
otiice-seeker. The interest doesn't ARISE
from the fact that Mr.. Thompson has been
able to bring great deal of influence to
bear in his favor, but is due to the belief
that Mr.. Randall, who opposes Mr..
Thompson and favOrs West Virginia
applicant, is trying his strength
with the President in opposition to
Mr.. Carlisle. The strongest hacker
that Mr.. Thompson has is Mr.. Carlisle.
He is very enthusiastically indorsed,
however. by tho entire Kentucky delega-
ton, ana by very large number Of the
Democratic OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. There
is no question as to his ability to fill the
position. One objection that has been
urged against him is that ne belongs to a
State whose whisky interest is about as
large as that of all the other States COM
bleed, and that he might be too suscepti-
bic to the influence Of that interest.
In view Of the fact that the present
OOuUliSsAOutI VI 1hlGlHdi 1Acftuuc Is Il
Kentucky man, and that his administra-
ton of the office has not provoked any
scandal, the objection TO Mr.. Thompson
loses its force.
While it is certain that Mr.. Randall is
opposing and Mr.. Carlisle is assisting
Mr.. Thompson, it may be that the Presi-
dent will not allow his preference for
either of these gentlemen to influ-
enee. in the least, his decision.
If he decides against Mr.. Thompson
il may not be because Mr.. Randall OPP
poses him. Secretary Manning is under
stood TO be hostile to Mr.. Thompson, and
the Secretary's wishes in the matter will
have more weight probably than those Of
anyone else. There is an impression that
a man recommended by neither Mr..
Carlisle nor Mr. Randall will be APP
pointed.

His Assets.

RumOrs concerning the solvency of
private banker in a Michigan village
having obtained circulation, three of his
heaviest depositOrs organized themselves
bank.
"Gentlemen," replied the smiling
banker, ''my assets are $4,000, and liza
bilities to depOsitors less than $4,000.
The committee was entirely satisfied,
and so reported, but q week later the
banker wrote them from Toronto:

assets consisted Of my own notes of hand
to myself, which / regard as entirely

Sensible Own Service Reform.

1t would not, however, be true to intimate
that the Democrats throughout the country
intend to sit quietly by and permit the Re
publicans TO hold on to the offices under the
protection of the so called civil service re-
form. nor do we believe that the Democrats
forming the administration viii allow them
selves TO be controlled or hoodwinked by pO-
litical intrigue under the guise Of law. We
say now, as we have said before, that no civil
service regulations ever sanctioned by Con-
gress or common sense require that a new
administration must be conducted and man
aged by the apprentices Of an old one.

Lord wOlseley on Correspondent.

Newspaper correspondents and all that
race of drOnes are an incumbrance to an
army, They eat the rations of fighting
men, and do not work at all. Without
saying so directly you can lead your
army to believe anything, and, as a rule
in all civilized nations, what Is believed
by the army will very soon be credited
by the enemy. having reached him by the
spies or through the medium of these
newly-invented curses to armies-I mean

The shaving brush business was on n
boom in Chicago last week. 1t came
about in this way: A citizen bought a 10
cent shaving brush Of a street hawker,
and happening to observe a peculiar rat
tie or "shake' in the handle, he broke it
open and found couple Of very nice dia-
monds, worth about $50 each. The report
got out, and soon nearly all the shaving
brushes in the town were bought and
broken by persons who were sure that a
large importation had been made for the
purpose Of smuggling diamonds in tie
handles. No further "finds' were re-
ported. Possibly the shaving-brush men
had invested IN a couple OF paste stones,
and put up a bill job on the innocent
minded ChicagOese.

Florida oranges are being exported
from Boston 20 Liverpool in considerable
quantities. a lot Of 100 boxes, which
were shipped some three weeks ago, ar
rived in good condition. and were sold at
satisfactory prices, although they came
IN direct competition with the Mediter-
raDean oranges which are sold in Eng
land at very low prices. IL is expected
that the export trade in oranges will
rapidly increase, and that great demand
for Florida fruit Will spring up on the
other side of the water in a short time.
1t would doubtless pay to ship oranges
direct from Jacksonville or Savannah by
fast steamers to London, Liverpool and
continental ports.

The question Of the successor in the
Senate Of Attorney General Garland is
attracting much attention in Arkansas.
Mr.. Breckinri dge, elected for two years
as COngressma n-at-Large, wants to oc-
cupy the seat that Mr.. Garland has va
Gated. and TO bring back to the Senate the
name which his father made distin-
guished as a Senator from Kentucky, a
position TO which he was elected while
still Vice President, and which he sur
rendered to enter the COnfederate
service. Mr.. Walker, whose term has just
expired, thinks that ne is a possible sue
cessoU to Mr.. Garla nd, by the help of the
few Republican votes in the Arkansas
Legislature, in the absence of a caucus
nomination by the Democrats. While
there is a chance for Mr.. Walker if an
angry struggle among the Democrats
occurs, in which the meagre Republican
strength is a factor, it is not likely that
the choice Of the successor to Garland
Will be other than Representative Poin-
dexter Dunn or eX-Gov. Berry.

England and Russia.

There doesn't appear to be any imme-
date danger OF war between England and
Russia. For a day or two the situation
appeared to be somewhat threatening,
but it Is not improbable that good deal
of what was given out by the English Gov
eminent was but little more than buster.
The talk of war with Russia is rather
popular in England, and it may be that
the government gave greater Importance
to the trouble with Russia than the truth
warranted. simply to draw attention
away from the disheartening condition Of
affairs in the SOudan.
There appears to be a real misunder-
standing respecting the boundary ques-
ton on the Afghan frontier. 1t is adj
mitted by both nations that the TurcO-
mans are under Russian protection and
the Afghans under English protection.
The TurcOmans and Afghans also admit
this protection. The Afghans and the
TurcOmans cannot agree where the TurcO-
man territory ends and the Afghan terri
tory begins. There are some very fertile
plains and salt beds south of Merry, which
the Turcomans want for their herds. The
Afghans are not willing that this territory
shall be occupied by the TurcOmans. If
the TurcOmans were granted all the ter
ritory they claim, their frontier would
reach within thirty miles of Herat, the
capital of Afghanistan.
England and Russia agreed on a COM
mission to fix a new boundary, and Sir
Peter Lumsden, the English Commits
sioner, went to Afghan and located his
headquarters a lew miles from where he
thought the frontier ought to be. he was
accompanied by a considerable force,
which influenced, perhaps, the Afghans
to occupy Penjdeh, section of country
that they had never claimed. The Rus
slams accepted this as a sort of a chal-
lenge, and they pushed their forces for
ward until they were within 100 miles Of
Herat The English Commissioner inter
preted this advance as a violation of the
agreement entered Into by England and
Russia, and as an Indication that Russ
intended to invade Afghan territory. He
sent dispatches to his government that
resulted in correspondence between the
two governments and stirred up cOnsid-
cradle excitement. The Russians have
not yet crossed the line that England is
willing to accept as the boundary, al
though the Afghans have entered terri
tory to which they never before made any
claim. Ii is now agreed that neither side
shall advance any further, and that the
work of settling the question Of the bound
airy shall proceed. TIE war cloud isn't
so black and threatening as twas.
