skeptics are ALEXANDRA DUMAS. NJ E1FTEL,

LEON SAY. who considers interviewing as

can never forgive reporters for the Jokes they
played upon him during his recent mysterious

Tho Claimant has accepted an invitation
to be present at banquet to be given BY the
Young Mems Democratic Association Of Phila-
delphia on Jan. 8. The Hon. ROBERT E. PATTI
SON and other Democratic Governors will bs
present The Claimants acceptance By tels-
graph reads as follows:

There 10 NO doubt Of the Claimants readi-
ness to be present at celebrations In honor Of
the Democratic victory. He Is always with"
the Democrats on such occasions. He was not
with" them during the fight, but he claims
all tho credit and the lions share Of the spois.
It is proper to say. however, that the Claim
ants claim may be presented with more reason
in PennsylvaniA than elsewhere. he did do
something. ss appears from his letter Of con-
graduation to Mr.. PArr1soN for the Pennsyl-

This stupendous piece OF self-saorifoe svi-
dently entities the Claimant in his own esr-
nation not to hold his breath or his peace for
the rest Of his natural life. We hope that the
Pennsylvanis Democrats are duly impressed
with what he did for them.

1t was held by the Court Of Appeals - long
ago as 1s49 that an undelivered promissory
note without consideration Is not tho cub
ject of valid gift by the maker to take
effect at his death; and In the opinion IN
which this doctrine is laid down It was
stated that the same rule existed In New

Massachusetts,. Unless, therefore, there has
since been change in the law Of the latter
State, Mr.. SHAPIE1oH's note, even II 1t had
been signed, would have been inehectual

About Southern Newspapers.

The most noticeable characteristic OF the
list Of Democratic journals published by the
Inter Ocean as friendly to Governor HILL as
Q Presidential candidate. Is its Incomplete
ness. It may shock our Mugwump friends
to hear that the point wherein lies Its great
est inaocuraoy L. represented by tho State
Of Texas, the home OF the Hon. ROGER
QuARLEs MILLS, the pole star Of Stuffed
Prophetism. Tho only Texas Journal that
our Republican contemporary credits with
advocacy Of Governor HILL Is the Waco
Day. The true list Of such organs OF gem
uine Democratic sentiment as they have
come under our observation, is. In addition
to the Waco Day. as follows:

One OF the first Democratic authorities
Of Texas, the Hon. N. w. FINLEY, Chair
man OF the Democratic State Committed,
has remarked to the st. Louis Republic that
"a great many prominent Democrats in
Texas regard Governor HILL as the most
available man." The banner State OF De-
mocracy tingles with true party spirit.
Moreover. the Inter Oceans too casual re-
view Of 1t is but sample OF similar inac-
curacy applied to the South in general. Tho
lively waking UP to the irrepressble facts
OF tho situation that Is steadily spreading
over that lately hypnotized region shows 1t
to be as ever Jealous Of it's political honor and
patriotically anxious for Democratic success.

the army, at least during the last twenty years
The remark able serios began about the mid
die Of February with the appointment Of Lieut.
COL William Smith ss Paymaster- General. in
place Of Brig. -Gen. ". B. Rochester. who had
been retired for age. Shortly afterward the
death OF Gen. George Crook occurred. and
Brig. Gen. Nelson A. Miles was made Major
General in his stead. This change in turn
called for the promotion Of a Colonel. and
COL BENJAMIN H. Grierson. Tenth Cavalry. re-.
ceived the coveted star. But Gen. Grerson's
own retirement at tho age OF GA came due
In July. and that caused the elevation OF COL
Alexander Mod. McCook. Sixth Infantry, to
the grade of Brigadier- General. Mean
while during the previous month Quar-
termsster-General Samuel B. Holsbird had
gone upon the retired list for age. and in
his place Lieut.-Col. Richard N. Batchelder
had been appointed. About . fortnight later
came another retirement OF the hoad Of q

him as Commissary-G General. On the 10th Of
August the retirement Of Surgeon General
John Moore caused the appointment OF Chief
Medical Purveyor Baxter In his stead. and now
the death Of the latter officer has created still
another vacancy.
Before this extraordinary list Of changes
among general officers began President Rar-
rlson had had the appointment Of an Adiutant-
ton In place Of 'Adjt. Gen. R G. Drum. who
retired for age. A little more than two months
hence he will have TO nominate . Chief Of
