'One night John r. Mclean, editor Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, was seated at
his desk up to his eyes in business,
when bumptious young reporter
strolled in from the city EDITORS room
and, seating himself Familiarity near the
editor-in. chief, inquired in an off.hand

"Wsll, Mao, how does the news pan
out to-night?"
Not in the least disconnected by tho
extraordinary conduct Of his subordi-

sponded in an apparently pleasant
way:

individual, what an appetite those
Yakutat Indians have for whisky.
Daring my prospecting trip up there
this Summer, the chief came into my
camp and offered me two otter skins
and squaw for quart bottle of whisky
I had with me-"
"Of course you traded with him2"
"Not much. It was the last bottle
had left out of my case, and no show to
get more. But, as I was saying, it
shows you what powerful appetite
those Indians have for whisky"

Office Seekers.

The Oakland Enquirer observes that
now Harrison is known to be elected as
President of the United States the old
office seekers of the Republican party
are prominently mentioned for the pay
ing places. Some of them have held
the offices in times gone by. The En-
quirer wants q new generation of its
party men now recognized; not neces-
sarily young men but new men. The
object is to teach those old standby
seekers that they are not heirs at law of
the fruits of the Republican victory.
The old seekers should be disabused of
the impression that they are the only
persons fit to hold Office. The Enquirer
is quite right, but the old stand-bys
will get the fruit, and because they
know how.
