Perhaps one reason why there is such an un-
seemly scramble for the $4,000 pOst-oflice at
Troy is that there will be no question about
papers when the appOintee comes before the
Senate for confirmation. The present incum'
bent's term is about to expire
If any one needs enlightenment Oh the ques-
ton of sill yer coinage, he will be able to get 1T
next week-that is, if the House of Representa-
tives is capable of enlightening him. The
fioodgates of elOquence on this subject are to
be opened next Tuesday and kept open for one
week. Our Washington correspondent lntl-
mates that measure of compromise between
suspension and free coinage will be brought
forward; but favorable action on it is hardly
expected.
In passing measure embodying the features
of the Scott law in modified form the House OF
Representatives at Columbus has only fulfilled
the pledges on which the Republican majority
was elected. The bill itself is a good one and
doubtless is so drawn as 10 escape successful
attack on the ground of unconslltutIonality.
Every Democratic vote was cast against 1t, and
If the Senate remains Democratic the chances
that the bill will become q law are, unfOrtu-
pately, not good.
1'he sad occurrence in Greenwch-st. yester-
day illustrates once more the criminal folly of
fooling with firearms. The pistol which went
off, inhictiDg probably fatal wound, had been
looked at an hour or two before and was sup
posed to be harmless. Young Vogt thought 1t
would be good joke to persOnate highway
man and frighten the carman whom he had en-
ployed The joke turned out tragedy. Vogt
will probably not be punished for his careless
ness; bat it is not quite clear that he ought not
to be made an example of for the sake of re-
straining other young men from like foolish
attempts at bravado.
If Mr.. Cleveland should decide to send to
the Senate the papers oD file in regard to re-
moved Offce-holders, he would apparently only
increase the temperature of the hot water into
tors and ofiice-holders are said to be in fear
and trembling over this possibility. Certainly
those who have schemed to get places for their
supporters will not stand in an enviable light,
for they may be proved guilty of falsehood and
of bearing false witness in order to compass
their ends. II charges were cooked mp against
officials whose heads went into the basket, the
persons responsible for them will decidedly OBJ
ject to being shown up in their true light. Mr.
Cleveland might clear his skirts by shifting the
responsibility in this way; but where would
the remaining shreds Oh pretence that this is
sReform Administration be in that case I
According to an article published on another
page this morning, the law foibidding the
hunting of deer in the Adirondacks instead Oi
diminishing, has increased the number OF these
animals killed. Sportsmen not being allowed
TO indulge in the amusement of putting bullets
into deer that were driven by hounds close to
