THE JOURNAL several weeks ago
urged the presentation of Judge
Alvey's name to the President for
appointment to the vacancy on the
Supreme Bench.
This suggestion was made by
Senator Wilson and Representative
McComas, but the President stated
that while he had heard of Judge
Alvey he thought he could appoint
no one who lived South of Mason and
Dixon's line.
The fact that the Judge lives but
few miles on the wrong side sug-
gcsrs that a little too much presiden-
tial knowlege Of imaginary lines is an
unfortunate if not IL dangerous thing.

OF the oil-gas plant now at the city gas works il
Ii ascertained that the oil gas experiment has
not yet been made. So far all the light has
been mixed coal and oil gas The oil genera
tors are to be covered with asbestos, and the
delay in obtaining this material has occasioned
loss OF heat and prevented the full trial Of the

supplied by four oil gas generators and one
coal gas retort> The asbestos coating ia now

Mr.. Blaine's Plans for the Winter.

Augusta, Me-, Special to N. Y Tribune, Dec g.
MIR. Blaine has returned from his New York
trip. He will start for Washington about Jan.
l. As he has released his elegant home in
that city to Mr.. Letter, he will rent q modest
house for the use Of his family, and later will
build another house less expensive than the
one he now owns. The statement that he will
become the editor of New York magazine il
pure bosh. He has for long time contem-
plated an important literary work. and will
undertake it as soon as he has the opportunity,
1t will be book relating to American political
history.
One Of Mr. Blaine's most intimate friends
says that, while no formal offer has been made,
there is good reason to believe that General
Harrison will first offer the place of Secretary
of State to the man who might have been nom-
mated for the presidency II he would have
esteemed republican in the land; and, further,
that Mr.. Blaine, after much consideration, and
after taking the counsel of several of the MEM
bers of the Maine delegation and other men in
whom he has confidence, has intimated to them
that he would accept the Secretary of States
portfolio II it were offered him.
