Prince, of Boston, called on President
elect Cleveland this afternoon, and
had q general conversation. The

John E. Develin, who dined with
Cleveland last evening, said to day
that Cleveland had not fully decided
upon all the members OF his cabinet
yet, but there was one thing which he
believed sure, and that was that Dan.
Manning would be secretary of the
treasury.
It is said to be the fixed intention of
the president-elect to give the south
a presentation Of three members ia
his cabinet, including Sen. Bayard
The other two representatives will
come from the circle of senators, and

ed virtually TO Lamar of Mississippi,

Of Tennessee. It is possible that in
addition to Manning, New York may
be awarded and another cabinet
officer.

WHILE Americans are growing un-

WHILE Americans are growing un-
easy because titled Englishmen are
gainining possession of enormous
tracts of land in this country, they
will be surprised to know that one
citizen of the United States has ex-
cited the jealousy of the British by
similar encroachments in the Scot
fish Highlands. Mr.. Winans, of Bal
timore, is a very wealthy man who
enjoys himself much better abroad
than he does at home. Some years ago
he leased three hundred square miles
of land in the Scottish Highlands for
pleasure grounds and since that time
he has exercised species Of tyranny
over them. Several cottagers occupy
these lands under conditional leases
given them by the owner many years
ago, audin an action recently brought
by Winans to drive them out the
court decided against him. The
scandal caused by the proceedings has
attracted the attention Of various
members of Parliament and move
ment is on foot for the purpose of
securing action against such monopo-
Ezer of the land. Net one IN Ameri-
ca can object to the severest kind of
discipline for Mr.. Winans. We are
obiecting here to British seizures of
thousands Of acres of the public do
main, to be had merely as an invest
ment, and while we hold that posi-
ton we cannot in fairaess criticise
similar hospitality on the part of the
English or Scotch. Mr.. Winan's
deer park is altogether too large. Let
him put up with smaller one or dc
without. We will apply the sans
principle to the British landholders
In America before long.

The clause OF the posteffice appro
priation bill which was SO strenuously
opposed by Mr.. Holman on Friday
last provided for the payment OF
$500, 900 to American ships during the
next fiscal year for carrying the
Unit d States mails to foreign ports
under contract similar to those made
with river and Goasting steamers.
INNER existing law, the compensa-
ton to vessels carrying mail from the
United States to foreign ports is fixed
at two cents per letter without regard
to weight. The whole amount paid to
American vessels for mail service to
foreign ports during the last fiscal
year under this law was $3.50, 775.
The section opposed by Mr.. Holman
proposes to authorize the postmaster
general to pay more under special
contracts, and to appropriate the
amount stated for thatpurpose largely
in addition to what the government
would have to pay under the existing
law.
