Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-09-30
killed the late Secretary Folger. and

nave WTecheu the health OF Mr.
Manning. He is stocky we'll built
man, with dark hair, eyes and NOUS
tache. He has mastered all the
details of this great financial bureau,
aud with the assistance of those so
well trained under Republican as
tendency, has kept the wheels Of
national currency we'll oiled. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Fairchild will ul.
timately assume the treasury port
folio.
As to what will become of Mr..
Manning, there has been rumor
current during the last few days, to
the effect that he would be offered
the Austrian Mission. But this is
now thought to be unfounded, and
it is generally believed that Con
gresham Tucker Of Virginia will
receive the appointment. The Pres
ident has long wished to recognize
Mr.. Tucker, but the latter is anxious
to have a place on the Supreme
Bench. But this is not practicable,
as all of the members are in good
health, and it is not likely that any
one of them will resign. The APP
pointment would be pleasing to Sec
rotary Bayard, as he and Mr.. Tucker
are very good friends, and Mr..
Cleveland may think this a favora-
bic opportunity of honoring him.
Much interest is manifested in the
great fair, that will be opened here
to-day by the colored people of
the district. The object is to show
the progress made by their race dur
ing twenty odd years of freedom.
The exhibition will include samples
of the work of colored artisans and
mechanics, in many different trades
and industries, and it is expected
that most creditable display will
be made
There still exists considerable
prejudice against the negroes, and
their abilities and attainments are
very much moderated. This is be-
cause of the almost universal ignor-
ance as to their real status. One of
the results of the fair will be to re
move this ignorance, and enlightcn
the white people as to their achieve
ments. The object of this fair is
admirable, and it deserves much
success. 1t should be mentioned
that the colored managers have
neither asked nor accepted help
from outsiders.
Geronimo has become so desirable,
and so many bids have been made
for him, that it would seem a good
idea to put him up at auction, and
let the proceeds go to the families
of his victims. Barnum has offered
$4,000 for him. The towns Of
Pensacola and Jacksonville, Florida,
are contending for the honor of his
presence as a great summer attrac-
ton; and the people of Arizona
also want him. IT would be a great
pity TO waste him. Cleveland might
make him Secretary Of the Interior
or Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
He is not a greater rebel than those
he has already appointed.
A head and bust in clay of the
noted Apache chief has been added
to the numerous curlosities in the
National Museum of this city. The
rest of the figure will soon be fin
ished, and it will be dressed in
Apache clothing. The face and
head are typically Indian, and were
modelled from a photograph taken
years ago, when Geronimo was a
peaceful "ward of the nation" and
before he began his record of crime.
The figure when completed will be
lifelike enough to brighten any Ari-
IONA rancher who may straggle into
the National Museum.
