THE MINT.
TIE Post says in Mondays issue:

Tie Post says In MOnday Issue:
An effort is being made to COM
pel the re-opening of the Carson
Branch Mint by an appeal to the
courts, on the ground that the law
has been violated in closing it after
fifteen years existence. If we are
to believe Senator Beck, the Treas
ury officials have as little regard for
the law as they have for the general
public interests. Must an act
of Secretary Manning prevail
against an act of Congress? is a
brief way Of putting the matter. Ii
the Treasury Department could &C
cept 81, 100000 in greenbacks for
customs when the law declared that
they should not be accepted, and
refuse to pay the interest on the
debt in coin silver and gold
when the law so directs it is capable
of almost any other form of opposi-
ton to the wishes of the people and
the authority of Congress. Follow
ing is the explanation of the closing
of the Carson Mint given by Secre-
tary Mannlngin his last report.
''The cost of coinage at the Mint
at Carson being largely in excess of
other coinage MINIS. and the expen-
ses of distribution of coin likewise
being excessive, it was in May last
deemed advisable to discontinue all
coinage of this Mint and to reduce
accordingly the force of officers and
operatives. Since the first of June
this institution has been conducted
as an assay Office. Its business as
such having proved insignificant,
orders were given in November for
the discharge of the entire force
except the Superintendent and four
watchmen, who are retained for the
proper custody of the building and
appurtenances. Thus a saving will
be made of over 100000 per annum.
A large reduction of force has also
been made since the first of June
at the Mint in San Francisco, ae-
gregating saving of about SIT 900
a year in the wages of workmen.' "
The wages of workmen" seems
to be favorite field of economy
with this administration. But un-
less the coinage is to be stopped or
reduced there can be no great econ
omy in this direction, for it will
only necessitate an increased force
at the Eastern MINIS: We often
see individuals who seek to econo-
mize in much the same way-by
taking off at one end and putting
on the other. 1t will be observed,
also, that the Secretary counts the
whole S147,00 as so much saved
which is the reverse of candid
statement of the case. This matter
has a local interest because the
San Francisco Mint is evidently in
cluded in the Secretary's system OF
reform, and certainly is in danger
Of extinction by the same process as
that invoked against the Mint at
Carson.
Taken in connection with the
avowed opposition of the admins
tration to silver coinage-or indeed
If the whole truth were told, to any
expansion of the coinage we can
not help regarding the closing Of
this Mint as part Of the general
attack. and hope that the decision
of the court will take the existence
of any of the branch minis from
the control of the Treasury Depart
ment until Congress has acted upon
the matter.

SketchiDg Bismarck.
From tho Art Journlt.


(, An artist has. like other people, to exercise
ingenuity and even boldpess In the pursuit of
his calling. 1t 10 we'll known that Prince
Bismarck does not visit the Reichstag
nowadays as often as he used to do.
Stretching the Chancellor in action is, there
fore, q iii fhcult matter. but the feat has Just
been accomplished by Arton Won Werner, the
director Of the Academy of Arts. Werner en-
tered the Relchstag with pencil and sketch
book few days age, and took mis- place
amongst ordinary spectators. The moment
he seized for his purpose was when Bismarck,
having finished long and fiery speech, was
engaged In conversation with his son and sew
eral Ministers, his face and nervous move
ments bearing evidence Of tine strain he had
just undergone. Werner had ju-t well begun
his sketch when the Chancellor moved to an
other place and settled himself as if for a long
time. The artist, nothing daunted, at once
went down stairs and took his seat amongst
the Deputies, for he could now only obtain
his sketch by entering the sacred space al
lOtted the members of the House. Admis-
sion to this part of the House is strictly for
hidden. but Werner's holiness rescued him,
for he was not disturbed. and flushed his
WORK in ease. 1t is expected that Werner will
make Bism arck in the Rechstag the subject
of an important painting. 1t is worthy Of
note that the artist Lenbach sketched MOltke
on his introducing the Military Pension law a
short time ago, On this occasion Lenbach ac-
tual y secured a seat at the Ministerial table,
an extraordinary concession.

Jaehne's Fate.

The swift conviction of Alderman
J0ehne in New York city, teaches les
son that it would be well for corrupt poll
heed. The lesson is that, however power
full a politician is, he cannot persist in
wrong doing in the face of an aroused
public sentiment.
Only few weeks ago Jaehne was one
of the most popular and influential of the
local politicians of New York. His word
was law in his ward. To-day he is wear
ing a striped suit in Sing Sing.
There is not much sympathy for him
except among his relatives and immedi-
ate friends. The public believes that he
deserved his fate, and it is doubtful if any
considerable number OF self-respecting
men in New York could be induced to
sign petition for his pardon.
Jaehne, in the days of his power, was
one of the sort of men who sheer at re-
forms and reformers. He talked about
every man having his price, and spoke
lightly and even CONTEMPORARY of NOR
atty and virtue. Money, he thought,
could accomplish everything, and so he
sought to get money, honestly, if ne could,
and If not honestly then dishonesty.
1t is thought by many that New York
is one of the most corrupt cities in the
world, but there is virtue enough there
yet to bring scoundrels, even though they
are influential and rich, to justice The
prisons Of New York hold quite a number
of men, convicted within the last year, oil
more than local notOriety. The people
know that if stop is not put to crimes
like that of which Jaehne was convicted
there must soon be an end OF popular GOV.
eminent. Let men like him go unpunish.
ed and it would not be long before the
stealing in public Offices that is now done
stealthlly would be done almost openly
and unblushtngly. They would introduce
corruption to an extent that would ruin
sny government. There will be no re-
grets if Jaehne's fellow rascals meet the
same fate that he has met.

First Congressional District Candi

dates.
The interest in the Gubernatorial cam
paign is not disturbing the Congressional
canvass in this district. There are three
recognized candidates for the nomination,
and there may be a half dozen or more
candidates who are not making exertions
in their own behalf, but who hope that
there may be such ombinatiOn OF cir
cumstances as will bring them prOmi-
nently before the convention.
The three recognized candidates are
Mr.. Norwood, Judge Mershon and MIR.
Bradwell. They all have strong friends,
but no one of them perhaps yet feels con-
tident of success.
Mr.. Norwood, who returned to Wash
ington Yesterday, inquired into the senti-
ment OF the district pretty thoroughly,
and reached the conclusion that he would
be renOminated. He IS certainly stronger
in this county than he was when nomi-
mated two years ago, and the same is true,
perhaps, with respect to some
other parts of the district. He will,
however, have a pretty strong oppo-
stion to contend against south OF the
Altamaha, not because OF any particular
hostility to him, but because Judge
MershOn is the candidate of that section.
Ex-Congressman Nichols is power in
the counties south of the Altamaha, and
It is known that he is not a supporter of
Mr.. Norwood. Mr.. J. l.. Sweat has great
influence in the wire grass counties,
and he is doing what he can to advance
Judge Mersbon's candidacy. The wire
grass counties, however, cannot control
the nomination, and II Judge Mershon
cannot get help from north OF the
Altamaha he will be beaten again.
There are indications that Mr.. Nichols
is looking for a condition of affairs which
will make his nomination possible. If
Messrs. Norwood, Mershon and BradwelI
so divide up the district that neither has
a majority of the delegates, he may be
pushed to the front to capture the nomi-
nation in the same way that Mr.. Norwood
captured it two years ago. Mr.. Nichols
is understood as saying that he is not a
candidate, but it is cafe to say that be
would not refuse the nomination If it
should be offered to him. There is some
ground for saying that delegates for the
approaching convention will not stick to
their first choice as long as delegates in
the last Congressional convention stood
by their first choice.

IAN Explanatory Corrected.

In an article entitled San EXplana-
ton" the Macon Telegraph says:
'erhe savannah NEWS started out with
the assertion that Gen. Gordon would
not meet Major Bacon in joint debate.
Doubtless the General rs very tired Of
the business by this time.'
The Telegraph must be mistaken. We
have no recollection Of having asserted
that Gen. Gordon would not meet Major
Bacon ia joint debate. Itsuch an assertion
appeared IN the MORNING NEWS we have
failed to find it. Perhaps the Telegraph
can find IL. II ought to have been GER
tain that the MORNING NEWS made the
assertion before stating that 1t did.
We admit that we did say that sit is
hardly probable that Gen. Gordon Will
accept" Maj. Bacon's challenge TO engage
in joint debate for two reasons. First,
because the debate must deal la personal
matters, aud, second, because Gen. Cor
don doubtless desires to devote his whole
time to his canvass IN a way that seems
best TO him.
This ia a very different thing from an
assertion that seen. Gordon would not
meet Maj. Bacon in joint debate.r The
MORNING NEWS is not In position u

Delivered According to Contract

From the Le,oiston tAfe.) Journal.
A. 6. Lebroke, of Foxcroft, once swapped
an old wagon with Farmer Graves for four
cords of wood. Graves signed contract
written by Lebroke. to the effect that Graves
should deliver Lebroke four cords OF mer-
chantabie wood. Where the wood should be
delivered was not stated,
Many months went by and Lebroke received
no wood. Happening in Guilford, he asked
the old man about it.
"Oh, yes" said Graves. "rve cut your wood
and it's as nice a lot of wood rs ever you saw.
You just come and look at it,"
He took Lebroke into the woods and showed
him four cords of excellent cordwood, piled
up in the forest
"There, Squire Lebroke." said he, 81 de-
liver that wood TO you" Turning to a neigh
Dor who had accompanied him, he added,
"A nd want you to witness that l deliver
this wood To Mr.. Lebroke."
/. The Senator had to hire teamster to haul
the wood to FOXcroft. He says 1t was the
hrst and only time he ever was beaten on
contract he wrote himself.
