date Will Be Appointed.

The successor of Police Commissioner Morri-
son will be elected within the next FIVE days, but
if the State officers have settled upon
any person for the position it is
known only to themselves. When ques-
toned regarding the matter they claim
that there has been no consultation or agree
ment of any kind upon the appointment of any
person. mr.. Morrison is very anxious to
be reappointed," said one of the State
officers to a Journal reporter, yester-
day. land is doing all that he we'll can
to get it; but there is no earthly chance
for him. One thing is certain-no man who is
an avowed candidate for the position will be ap-
pointed" In addition to the persons who have
been previously mentioned in connection with
the place, the State officers say that Mr.. E. T.
Allen has been recommended to them, with
the assurance that he is strongly in favor
of the enforcement of all laws but this is hardly
likely to secure for him any favorable considera.
ton. Mayor McMaster has been suggested for
the position, as his term of Office will expire in
time to make him eligible for the appointment
General McGinnis is also mentioned, and he
seems to be regarded with some favor by at least

The Y. MI. G. A. Building.

Much has been said Of late through and by
the Indianapolis papers concerning the erection
of a new Y. NJ. C. A. building in this city. The
time is rapidly approaching when an active can
vass will be made for funds, but in the mean
time few more voluntary subscriptions would
be of great encouragement to those having the
matter il charge. The building and finance
committee is composed of the following WELL
known and reliable men: D. F. Swain, T. H.
K. Enos, Samuel Merrill, Wilson Morrow, W.
Fl. Roll and T. c. Day. to any of whom pledges

SAN ANTONIO is getting desperate for
money, from appearances, and the Ex-
press advises resort to dollhouse pro-
cess to relieve the pressure. The Ex-
press wants about half million spent
there no matter how or for what pur-
pose, and is as generous in its remarks
about others money as a well-kept
prince. 1t remarks: ga half million
dollars expended in San Antonio would
be big thing if we receive nothing for
1t but the use of the money distributed
among the people. With the use OF the
money we could pay the interest and
gradually relieve the city from the In
debtedness without feeling it; but to
Sc Jure in addition such highly desirable
things as sewers and street i'm.
provements adds vastly to the
merits of the 1 proposition. Taxes
are like rents, When times are flush
such demands are easily met; II is only
in times of business and financial de-
preston the people feel the rent and tax
demsnds. We can force prosperity
upon the city if we try; through the
dollhouse process OF cultivation people
enjoy the luxuries OF vegetables lone
before they could by waiting for th,
natural seasons to come" But after al
there is q good deal In the reasoning o
