the post-office portfolio merely for
the honor and would soon resign.
That, however, is now extremely i'm
probable, and the present is most de-
cidedly Mr.. Clarkson's golden oppor-
tunity. If these cabinet changes be
made Mr. Chauncey I. Filley, of st.
Louis would doubtless be selected to
fill the vacancy caused in the assist
ant postmaster generalship.
The death of Allen Thorndyke Rice
adds to President Harrison's trials,
that of selecting a new Russian min
lister at as early day as possible. The
pressure for the place commenced as
soon as the breath was out of Mr..
Rice's body. Half a dozen promi-
nent statesmen were on hand this
morning ready to urge the claims OF
various candidates. | believe that
William Walter Phelps will be the
lu cky man, at least if Secretary
Blaine has his will.
Mr.. Rice was one of the least
known public men in this country
He belonged essentially to the silk
stocking contingent, and even when
he was for congress in New York his
prospective constituents knew very
little of his personality. He gave the
heelers his money and let them spend
it for him, and as he should have
known they robbed him. He was a
citizen of the world at the age of
twenty-three years, when he purchas-
ed and rejuvenated the North Anaert-
can ReUieaU, and he has since proved
himself the most remarkable COM
pound of a shrewd business man and
graceful writer that this country has
ever known. Whether or not he was
| the author of the Arthur Richmond
letters will probably never be reveal
ed. If he was it forever establishes
his pre-eminence in that class of lit
erature.
Friday was indeed murderers' day
in Washington last week. Beside a
hanging there was murder and sui
eide. A blear vagrant shot his wife
to death in the presence of the schol-
ars she was engaged in teaching, and
then took. his own life. She left q
letter of instruction, written several
years ago, to be opened after her
death ''Try to get Tom sober to
90 to my funeral, she writes, ''and
buy him suit of clothes" This af-
ter she had supported him for ten
years, and after he had spent the last
cent of her money and could get nc
more, Tom killed her. Washington
whiskey accomplishes wonders.

Next to Frederick Douglass, John
f. Lynch of Mississippi is the most
1oduent colored man in the country.
Ee heard him for the first time in
Philadelphia in 1872, and we then
'bncluded that he would be heard
'om again. He was emancipated
y the destruction of slavery, and
ithout money, friends or education
ad to fight his way with the poorest
white trash" in the South. He ap-
lied himself and obtained a tolerably
bod education. He was elected a
Rember of the legislature and became
leader and speaker. He was then
int to congress, but of late years
'hs been a victim to the violence and
aud that have made the South solid.
b all these years he has retained the
aspect of his opponents and the adj
Miration of his friends. Mr.. Lynch

There is more catarrh in this section of the coun-
try than all other diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to be incurable
For great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local remedies and by
constantly failing to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurabe. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and therefore requir
es constitutional treatment. HalPs Catarrh Cure,

The orders issued by the Treasury
department to the revenue cutters
s'Bear' and Crush to cruise in the
waters of the Behring Sea, and arrest
and seize all vessels taking seals dur
ing breeding time, indicate that our
government is ready to accept the
responsibility of patroling that Sea
and of furnishing poachers of what
ever nationality. Our Canadian
neighbors are very sensitive over our
ssiniuuitous'' claim to jurisdiction IN
those waters. But it is quite clear
that some government must intervene
to prevent the determination of this
valuable fishery. For want of this
intervention the fur seal have been
driven to change their haunts from
the southern to the northern hemls-
phere. sAnd" says the New York
Times, s:until some other government
is disposed to join ours in this work,
it is quite certain that our own, which
invested millions in the purchase of
Alaska, largely with reference to its
seal fisheries, will continue to carry
out its present policy"

The Samoan commissioners. so 1T
is reported by cable, have met with
some opposition from the German
commissioners against the restoration
of Maltoa as King of Samoa. The
American demand in all the matters
of conference has been consistent and
persistent in one direction. 1t is
that the condition of things existing
under the tripartite agreement be-
tween England, Germany and the
United States shall be absolutely re-
stored on the island before any new
arrangements are made. Germany
violated that agreement on specious
excuses, and if she should now keep
Malietoa off the throne would in a
measure be justified in her acts. The
American commissioners are under
stood to have been positively instruct
ed by Secretary Blaine by cable not
to yield this point, as it is vital to
the whole controversy. The Ger
mans have, it is said, backed down
with grace from the position taken by
them that,as the German government
had pardoned Malietoa for his war
fare against the German residents
on the islands, this was as much as
were the aggressors on the island and
it is upon that point that the question
of indemnity will hinge. If the Ger
mans yield to the demand for the res
toration of Malietoa, they will in a
measure waive their rights to indemn-
ity. Yet it seems that they have
yielded, and could do nothing else as
the evidence was all against them.
