Foraker and Sherman. y

Foraker isstriying to convince him.
self and the public that he was faithful
to Sherman at Chicago, but the more he
swears to il, the. less sconfidencs can one
havein; his loyalty. q M d 'Es'
II The fact is, Foraker was as much
against Sherman as he dared to be. In
the Ohio convention, while protesting
to favor Sherman, he was filling the
delegation with anti-Sherman men. irr
seF6rakeris friends all knew of his an
tagonism to Sherman;l they knew he
was playing a double game; that he was
plotting Sherman's downfall, and that
all through the convention he and his
tools were only waiting for the time to
come when it would be safe for Foraker
to go to Blaine, or strive, to get the
Blaine men to spring Foraker on the
lconventiOn. 5atE 9Hs
1t is useless for Foraker to attempt to
rewrite the history of his Chicago con-
spiracy. No chapter in Ohio politics is
fuller of duplicity and falsehood. He
sought to play roll for which he was
not fitted; he failed, and deserves the
CONTEMPT of all honest men. fqr! aG.
The truth is, Foraker is piddling
little pettifOgger, who takes brass for
brains. He lacks, not simply thequali-
ties of statesman, but those of man.
He is to the weak bully and black
guard; to those In power he is cring-
ing cur. That such man should be
Governor of Ohio is a reflection on the
intelligence of the State. If the Re-
publican politicians, for the sake ofhar-
mony, nominate the little bully for a
third term, there should be revolt OF
the manhood of the State, and, as a
mere matter of State pride, as a mere
matter ofself-respect, he should be, re-
gardless of mere political consequences,
buried in overwhelming defeat. Cour-

He Getsa Soft Snap as Attache to the

NEW York, May 27.-It has leaked
out that another member of the Harri-
son family has been provided with G
snug berth. The appointment of the
commission to examine into the Samo-
an difficulty rested with President Har-
rison, as did also the appointment Of
the naval attache. Lieut.. John +. Par
ker, stationed at the Mare island navy
yard, on the Pacific coast, was appoint
ed. Some one remembered that Lieut..
Parker was Ilephew-in-law of President
Harrison, and that the President, in
making the appointment, was simply
following out his resolution to "please
himself" The feeling among naval
men is very bitter. Lieut.. Parker was
appointed from Ohio, and entered the
service as cadet midshipmar in Septem-
ber, 1870. Among his associates he is
regarded as q bright fellow and close
student. and considered by the navy
department as a first-class officer but he

The question as to whether petroleum
is giving out or not eXcites the atten-
tion of business and commercial inter-
ests in Europe. 1t is quite conceivable
chat the great petroleum deposits of
America-especially of Pennsylvania
having been worked with so much in
dustry for thirty years, should begin to
show diminished results. The product
in petroleum, natural gas, coal, and
other mining substances must necessar-
ily be limited. The natural forge which
created athese,s, wOnderful sprodu ducts so
useful To- human CIVILIZATION have
ceasedto existfor myriads of.ages. aIhe
more mine is worked the lessvaluable
it becomes. Notwithstanding this, how
ever. in mines like those in Cornwall,
the industry.continues for many, GEM
turies..Y Petroleum, !, unlike hard metals
must necessarily have o limited supply.
After the petroleum Interests in the
United States become extinct, there is
still a supply in Russia. Already Rus
sian oil is driving American out of In
dia. The effect of the diminution Of
the supply in one place win be to stim-
ulate the finding of it in sOther places.
And already in other parts of the globe
Trinidad, Egypt, China and else
where-there are indications, to show
that petroleum exists and awaits noth-
ing but q demand to bring 1t into the
market. The effect of the petroleum
industry has been to revive the whale
fisheries. Before 1t was discovered the
whale was chased almost to the shadow
of the north pole, and by this time
would probably have been extinct. But
the discovery of mineral oil has given
him generation of rest. Should II
vanish altogether we can go back tc
whale fishing in well-stocked sea. :

just prior to the municipal elections
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette

then in Washington, declaring that the
Cincinnati election would have a. na-
tional effect on politics and the admin
istration was anxious about it; that if
certain influences should dictate certain
Republican nominations there, the re-
suit would be Republican defeat in the
state in the fall and have discourag-

the country: Those influences controll-
ed the Cincinnati convention and the
Republicans met defeat there as pre-
dicted, although the edge oft was some-
what dulled by saving the mayor though

It IS more than likely that Foraker will

ratehe will control the convention, die

Widow aud Her Son.
MANCHESTER, N. H, December 30
The funeral, yesterday, Of Nathaniel E.
Robinson, the overseer who committed
suicide Christmas Day, brought to light o
renar kable story Of dessriion.
Robinson, during his twenty years.
residence here, claimed that he had not q
living relative in the world, and was to
have bean married in the spring to Miss
Annie Hayes. At the obsequies yester-
day woman and boy presented them
selves as the widow aud son If the dead
man, and produced evidence to that ef-
feet.
From their story, it appears that about
"a years sgO Robinson was an overseer in
a Providence mill; married and had two
children. He told his wife he wss going
where he could meke more money, and
that be would send for his family when
be became settled. He lsft, and they
did not know where be was until the
story of his suicide Sss published.
