The. friends of Secretary Manning arc very

toward complete recovery during the week

with those who call to see him. He has sent
for and talked with the principal officials Of
the Treasury Department. and Is Kept informed
as to the general progress OF affairs in that de-
nATtment and In Congress, The only appre-
hension his friends now have, Is that In his
anxiety TO ngain assume the duties of his
Office he will not take the rest which In his
case Is iWpeTatiycly necessary. Those who arc
closest to him say that the stories of his cou-
templated resignation, which have been
widely circulated during the past few days,
are absolutely without foundation. Especially
do they deny the truth OF the statement that
he told the President that he would be con
strained TO resign. They say that when the
President saw him two weeks ago (the only
time he has seen Mr., Mannilg since his ill
ness business matters were not mentioned.

THE Cincinnati Commercial owed much
OF the success that 1t achieved under tho
brilliant management of Mr.. Halstead
before its union with the Gascuc to the
editorial writing of FlnrIan b. Plimpton,
whose death was recently announced.
Since the consolidation the work OF Mr..
Plimpten has been one OF the chief attrac-
tions Of the Commercial Gdsette to the
large constituency of the old Commercial.
Mr.. Pllmpton was one of the most versa
tile and thoroughly well equipped writers
that ever occupied place on the staff OF
any newspaper-a gentleman Of such learn
ing, ability, and tact as is rarely encoun-
tered in any profession. His fame rests
mainly on his editorial writing, but he
wrote poetry, not mere verse, but poetic
gems that more pretentious poets would
not have been ashamed to have written
Here Is one of his latest poetic efforts
