In replying to Professor Painters structures upon
his course with reference to Indian appropriations
Congressman Ellis referred his critic to the story of
| Ananias; whcreupon the Professor retorts: since
he has twice commended mo to a study of AnanIss,
might say that tho result Of my study leads me 10
agree with very recent commentator who says
| the trouble with Auanias was that, having made
| an appropriation once. he undertook TO reduce 1t,
aud then falsifed tho returns. This, | think, swas
very wrong the part Of Ananias.'

The combination of bituminous coal producers is
said TO have been perfected on the following basis
Of the whole quantity marketed 80 per cent is al
lowed to the Pennsylvania interest. and 10 per cent
! TO the Baltimore and Ohio aud prices are TO be
| maintained at ~ 90 at Baltimore. - 80 at Pha-
| delphla - 25 at Ncw-York. ana - 80 nj New-Eng-

this curious statement: The Lehigh VALLEY aud the
Beech Creek coal TO be admitted To the pool. ana
their percentage is To be taken oil that allowed 10

virginia roads on tho other will cease all efforts to
compete with their rivals, II admitted to the pool.
| Perhaps they may.
The philadelphia Record has persuaded itself that
high tariff produces dishonest traders and corrupt

Isn't this rather an unfortunate admission to
como from tho Now-York organ of the Cleveland
| Democracy Whenever IA lawyer in Wisconsin
| or Michigan rotres from tho business now says
| The World the telegraph reports that he is proba-
! bly going into Mr.. Cleyeland's Cabinet This is
! a most natural assumption for the telegraph to

II C,evelani would like to have some good. hard,
emphatic chunks Of political wisdom embracing
every variety of administration policy. we suggest

Such patriotic devotion as Mr.. Daniel Lamont,
the Pres doutial Private Secretary, gives evidence
of il as touching and beaut iul as it is rare III this
fish world. Ills salary is only $1,000 a year. out
of which he has to provide residence and his OIL
oial expenses IL is said that the house ho has
rented costs him 5000. and private secretary to
himself will cost 81 900 moro. These indications
would seem to hint that Colonel Lamont may be
greatly out of pocket when his term OF service Is
over as the confidential adviser of a simpfed
Iellersonian President. IL just takes Democrat to
make "A noble sacrifice OF himself.
