Whar'S MY Niger?
From the Ne,U York Sun.

In the month of January, 1850, in going down
the big river from Vicksburg 30 New Orleans |
happened to strike a boat on which were half a
dozen professional gamblers. There were a
large number of other passengers, and a game
was going on in the cabin night and day I
happened to fall in with two young men at the
start, and incidentally learned that they had
been off on speculation which turned out dis
astrouSy and were returning home so close to
dead broke that they could only raise $50 be-
tween them On the second night one OF them
came into the game with this money, and in
the course of an hour won 800. Then luck
shifted aud he was cleaned out. AS his last
dollar went the banker inquired:
Have you anything to raise stake on?"
Eyes. Whar's my nigger'' was the reply
"Yere. Mars John!' answered a voice. and a
young and likely. as it used to be termed,
negro boy about 20 years old entered the cabin
"Thar's a niger who is worth 81 800 in gold. :,
said the young man. How much will you put
up against him?"
Twelve hundred
"Done."
In just forty minutes the last dollar was gone
luck and tricSery being too many for the Young
fellow and as he rose up the banker called
out:
Luck seems to hate some folks Whar's my
nigger?'
No one could answer, but search for him
was at once instituted Three or four men
looked high and low, but he could not be found
and it was finally concluded that he had gone
overheard. There was a great deal of ''cussing
around, " but it didn't help matters any. and all

Senator Camerop,s Successor.

The term of Senator Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, will expire in 1891, and the legis-
lature to be chosen next fall will elect his
successor. From all accounts a very inter
esting canvass may be expected. 1t was
rumored shortly after the death of Gen.
Simon Cameron that the senator would not
be candidate again, and within the last
few days the rumor has been revived, but
it is significant that Mr.. Cameron mas never
had anything to say upon the subject, so
far as the public knows. He has been in
the Senate long time, and the probability
is that he can remain there a good many
years more if he 30 desires; but he has
never shown very great love for po-
litical life, and it is entirely within the
| range of possibility that he looks forward
with bright anticipations to the time when
ne will enjoy more of tho comforts and
pleasures Of private and home life
His colleague, Senator Quay, who seems
to b. inordinatey fond of arranging polit-
ical states, aud who holds Pennsylvania in
a tighter grip than ever Senator Brown has
held Georgia, is reported to have arranged
for Mayor Filter, of Philadelphia, to be a
IN
doesn't want colleague who would inter
fere with his plans for the distribution of
the Pennsylvania patronage, aud it is prob
able that Mayor Filter, if elected, would be
perfectly satisfied to enjoy the honor of
being senator, and to let Quay distribute
| the offices.
If reports are true, however, Senator
| Quay may not have things his own way.
| 1t is said that Postmaster General Wanna
maker yearns to DO a senator. He evidently
likes his present office quite well, but there
is not much probability that he viii hold it
| after the next administration comes in,
and, the fascinations of political life having
fastened upon him, he is casting about for
an office that he can hold after the Harrison
cabinet is a thing of the past. Mr. Wanna
maker would very likely want to have q
good deal to do with the patronage if hi
should get to be a senator. No doubt Sen
ator Quay will do a good deal of hard
thinking about these things while in Florida
and if he is put to the necessity of opposing
Mr.. Wanamaker with Mayor Filter, tn,
public will see pretty lively political fight

The influence of Chairman Quay and the
free use of republican Doodle couldn't pre-
vent the election OF democratic successor
to the late State Senator Ashburn of Ohio.
The democratic candidate was elected by
1,60O majority, and thus democratic
majority in the state Senate was assured,
even if the courts should decide that a re-
publican lieutenant governor was elected.
This means that the congressional districts
in that state VIII be changed so as to give
the democrats better show, and the
change may result in giving the democrats
a majority in the next House. Quay and
Reed propose to make it impossible for the
democrats to get majority, and their plan
is to place congressional elections under
government control; but it is very doubtful
if anything they may do can prevent the
democrats from winning, Probably there
will be another democratic tidal wave.

There are good many schemes to get
rid of the treasury surplus. Among those
OF minor Importance are several to increase
the number of officeholders. There are
bills pending for creating seven additional
bureaus OF course if these bills should be
passed each bureau would be- provided with
as 'istant chiefs, clerks, messengers, etc. 1t
would be safe to estimate that the seven
bureaus would increase the number of
officeholders at least 100.
The proposed bureaus are for prisons.
tariff statistics, appointments, public docu-
ments. information, harbors and rivers, aud
fine arts. The head of each one of them
would perhaps be given as much as Sc, 900 a
year, and he would have one or more assist
ants with salaries ranging from $1,000 to
1000 year.
There does not appear to be any urgent
need for any one Of the foregoing bureaus.
| Indeed, If "A vigorous policy of retrench-
ment were adopted it would be found,
doubtless, that there are now great many
more offices than there is any necessity for.
There are hundreds of employees of the gov
eminent who do little or no work of conse-
| queDce, and there is vast amount done
that is of no benefit to anybody.
Instead of increasing the departments
| and bureaus, a commission ought to be ap-
| pointed to find out what offices are virtu-
| ally useless, and chow many officeholders
could be discharged without injury to the
| public service. 1t is not likely that any
such commission viii be appointed, how
ever. As long as there is an OVERLOOKING
treasury the expenses of the government
will be steadily increased, and while the
revenues of the government greatly exceed
its expenditures, there will be extravaga nce
ia administering public affairs None OF
our public men are great enough to force a
halt and compel tho adoption of reforms
that will tighten the burdens of the people.
