wANAmAKER's PREDICTION.

PoStmaster-General Wanamaker is re-
ported as saying: President Harrison
will be Tenominated and reelected, but
shall not be his Postmaster-Genersl in his
second term" Accepting Wanamaker's
prediction as an expression Of good will to-
ward the President, his reasons for an
nOunCing H. advance thathe will not serve
in his present capacity second term de-
mand serious consideration. Mr.. Wanna
maker is in position to hold an Office or
lay it down without a thought as to lis
emolumenIs. His time is worth more 10
himself than the public pays for it. The
insignificant salary attached TO the Office
would certainly be no inducement TO a man
Of Mr. WaDsmaker's extensive business
affairs. His reason for retirement is, ac-
eording to a friendly WASH ngton core
sp0Ddent, the difficulty he has encountered
in carrying his ideas into practice. Bust
ness in the department runs in ruts that
long usage has worn deep. 1t takes long
time TO get new plan under consideration.
There is a Congress to move which is
mostly occupied with questions of patron
age. The first consideration when new
plan is suggested is if it will increase or
diminish the number of places. If the
former the plan goes, if the latter it en-
counters almost insurmOuntable obstacles.
Mr.. WanamakeT is said to have entered the
POstoffice Department with four grand
p rejects in view. One was the emancipa-
ton Of the department from the service of
lottery companies. In this he has sue
ceeded. Another was a comprehensive sys-
TEN of postal subsidies to ocean vessels. In
this lie has had partial but limited success.
The other two were the postal telegraph
and postal savings banks. Neither Of these
projects received much consideration at the
hands Of Congress. Mr.. Wanamaker is not
exactly disappointed, but has a successful
mans dislike of a waste of time In one
term he has made what he calls a SO per
cent success. Sixty-Six per cent remains TO
be done. In view OF the obstacles in the way
of complete success he proposes to devote
his energies to work in which he does not
have to await the slow action of so many
minds

The Raiirnad Wins.

The case Of Catherine Stevens widow of
Joseph Stevens, against the San Francisco
and North Pacific Railroad, which has oc u
pied the time and attention OF Judge Sander
son and jury for the last three weeks in
Dep artment of the Superior Court, has re-
suited in a victory for the railroad. The
the defense being that Stevens came to his
death BY contributOTy negligence and not
through any fault of the defendant or of its
employees. Charles f. Hanlon appeared for
the railroad and Henry Z. HightOn was at
tOrney for the plaintiff The jury, after de-
liberating less than three-quarters Of an
hour, returned their verdict in favor OF the
defendant The suit was for S2j, 600 dam
ages, which Mrs. Stevens. as administrators
of her husband, claimed should be paid her
for the loss of her husband, who occupied
the position of an 0iler on the steamer
James NJ. Donahue. The accident happened
IN august 1857.

SIDE LIGHTS.

On tie morning after the meeting Of the
San Francisco Worlds Fair Association the
Chronicle stated that Maxwell only lacked
one vote Of a unanimous Endorsement a
little inquiry reveals Tie fact that but seven
Of The eleven Directors were present at the
meeting, and but four Of the seven voted
for Maxwell. There were four absentees,
two silent members and one negative vote.
The four absentees. as nearly as can be
asCeTtaaed, would not vote for Maxwell and
did not ike to go on the record as opposing
the California nominee. Presumably the
silent Directors were actuated by the same
motive. The Chronicle was the only paper
which had been notified If the meeting and
consequently the only one which reported
tile proceedings. AT tie meeting De Young
is reported to have applied terms to General
Chapman which do not look well in print,
the mildest Of which was that General Chip
man did not know peach from pear. 1t
is, perhaps, well now to let the public know
the probable reason why De Young deserted
General Chapman and joined Colonel For
syth in supporting Maxwell. Most readers
Of the Chronicle know that De Young en-
plOys a man named VeTdenal to write
Gotham gossip for his sheet. When De
Young is East the VeTdeual column is load
I'd down with details of entertainments
given in De Young's honor. Some months
Rgo Colonel Forsyth married the Chronicle
G0ssiper's daughter. The houses of For
syth and VerdenaI having thus become
allied. De Young was easily prevailed upon
TO extend to tie Chronicle branch Of it a
helping hand, the more readily as he saw
how il could be done at the expense Of the
public. Forsyth and Maxwell were cronies.
The latter wanted a berth of some kind,
and it was agreed that the position of chief
OF a department of the Worlds Fair would
afford him opportunities to help not only
himself but his friends. Colonel Forsyth
for Maxwell which caused De Young to
drop Chapman and declare that il was Max
wen or nobody. BY making this Iepresen-
talion he has induced members Of the State
Commission to indorse Maxwell, and, more
recently, persuaded four of the eleven men,
bers CT the San Francisco Association to do
the same thing. Two of the four declared
IL the recent meeting that they knew moth
ing about Maxwell. but wanted the Office of
chief Of the horticultural department to
come to this Stale. De Young has taken
advantage Of this natural desire to advance
the interests of the State to foist upon the
WORLDS Fair managers a man who has. ac-
cOrding to accounts, no other qualification
for the Office than that arising from associa-
ton with the Chronicles chronicler Of
Gotham gossip.

CHINESE LABOR.

The New York Times thinks that the feel
ing against Chinese cheap labor is subsid-
ing That journal intil ates that there is
no such thing as Chinese cheap labor, be-
cause a Chinamau is as anxious as any
white man to get the highest market price for
his labor. On the Pacific Coast, where the
feeling against Chinese cheap labor is not
subsidng, the people know very we'll that the
Chinese are cheap only when they have to
be. They are as ready as white TO get for
their labor all they can. But the people on
thi, Coast understand perhaps better than
the Eastern people that it is the law
AGAINST Chinese immigration which enables
Chinese now here to getgood wages. Should
this law expire the Chinese would come in
such number that they would fix the mar
ker rates of labor. 1t would cost a Chinese
IaboT6r but about $50 to get from a country
where labor is worth ten cents a day to one
where il is worth from one TO two dollars.
Should the next Congress fail TO pass an
exclusion act the Chinese question on this
Coast would be larger than ever.
