A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

President Cleveland yesterday appoint
cd II, W Clcndenin to be postmaster at
Springfield, Ill. The appointee is editor
of the State Register, gentleman of I'M
blemished character and true exponent
of simon pure democracy. His appoint
ment is all the more satisfactory to his
friends from the fact he was opposed by
the republican senators and an extra
pressure brought to bear upon the presi-
deaf to select some one else. Congress
man Springer, however, stood gaIlantly
by the man who had supported him Sc
successfully during several campaigns
and insisted that Mr. Cendenin be given
the place as a recognition of his eminent
services for the party in the prairie state
There will probably be an effort to defeat
his confirmation in the senate, but it will
hardly succeed.

ACCORDING to q story which comes
from Washington the Chinese outrages
on the Pacific coast have assumed An ex-
ceedingly serious phase. The government
of China demands not only the punish.
ment of the eifendets but indemnity for
the losses suffered by the Chinese in con-
sequence of the movement against them
and threatens TO collect the indemnity
from American citizens in China, and
withdraw protection from them if the
demand is not complied with. The ques-
ton is one OF the utmost moment. for if
it is shown that the story is authentic it
is evident that the commercial and diplo-
matte relations between the United States
and China are upon the verge of disrup-
ton. This country can i'll afford to lose
its trade with China, and it would seem
that immediate and energetic measures
alone can avail to adjust the present diff,
iiculties.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 9.-Represen-
tative Curtin has prepared a bill authoriz-
ing perpetual loan of gold and silver to.
the United States without interest Every
body is TO be invited to lend the government
gold and silver coin and bullion in perpet-
uity, receiving therefor United States notes,
which the secretary of the treasury is to
manufacture at once to the amount of 49,
0O0, 900, 900, and which are to be legal ten
ders. This is additional to the present
greenbacks. National bank notes
are declared to be United States
notes and legal tender, and no
national bank can withdraw its bonds now
en- deposit, but may be paid for them in
United States notes, and the bonds are then
to be destroyed. The law making green
backs redeemablo in gold is repealed, and
no reserve of gold or silver for the redemp-
ton of treasury notes is to be maintained.

IL Must be Built.

The Chicago Tribune has the follow
ing from the Washington correspondent:
A conference Of the Hennepin canal
people is to be held tomorrow night. One
Of the points TO be settled is how soon il
will be thought wise to press Gen. Hen
derson's bill to vote. SO far the only
talking on the measure has been done by
Jerry Murphy and Congressman Rowell
of Bloomington. General Henderson will
probably be the next speaker, and will an
ticipate some of the arguments of the OPP
position. Most of the crossroads lawyers
from the south have. as usual, found
grave constitutional objections to the
government digging the big ditch. Most
OF these same objections are warm sup.
porters of the Eads Tehuantepec ship
railway scheme. There is no con
stitutional sticking on that point
The friends Of the Hennepn are pre-
pairing to meet these southern objections
by copious citations from John G. CAL
houns public addresses. 1t is understood
that the New York city delegation is
practically solid against the measure for
local measures which are well understood.
Judge Kelley and Sam Randall are also
said to be urging the Pennsylvania mem
bers not to support the bill. This is
about the only opposition that has so fal
developed in the north Ex-Gov. Long
OF Massachusetts,, and others OF the New
England members are understood to be
friendly. The republican members from
Illinois, especially Henderson and Plumb.
whose DISTRICTS are directly interested, have
been very active in urging the claims OF
the measure on their party friends, and
they seem to have been reasonably sue
cessfnl. About 140 votes are believed to
be assured the measure now.
