was elected in 1889 by 1882 plurality
over Foraker, republican. Last year Ry-
an, republican candidate for secretary of
state, was elected by a plurality of 1O.969.
In view of the above table and these lat
ter figures, and in view of the great eff
forts made and the vast sums of money
expended in behalf of Mckinley, a plu-
rality Of less than $4,000 or 10000, can-
not be regarded as a substantial repub-
llcan victory.
Flowers victory in New York offsets
all the advantages the republicans may
claim by their success in Ohio. The
issues were discussed in that state

Postmaster General Wanamsker's desk, in

plate Of glass for its top, beneath which is a
map OF Canada, the United States and Mexico,

Secretary Of the Treasury Foster has no lik-
ing for official dignity. He ignores IL in Others
and discards it himself, much to the dispeasure
Of certain Bureaucrais in Washington. The
Secretary enjoys the National game, and can
be seen frequently among the audience at the
Washington backgrounds, where he applauds
good plays and makes small bets with his
friends on runs and strikes.
Justice Field, OF the United States Supreme
Court, counts as his lost opportunity to gain

committee of Grand Army men have con-
cluded their investigation of the conduct of
the Connecticut Soldiers Home at NOrOtOn by
Dr. MunsOn, the Superintendent. They report
that two detectives have been employed by
them at the Home for some time past. who
kept their eyes open and examined inmates.
They charge DR.. Munson with neglect of duty
and the exercise OF an nnwarranted and I'M
necessary discipline, which eliminated in acts
Of brutality appropriate 10 the Middle Ages.
The statement OF one victim Of these acts,
which can be fully substaRtiated, Is that on one
occasion 3IunsOn dragged an old veteran from
his bed. threw him violently to the floor, and
then jumped on him with his whole weight
until a stream OF blood gushed from the vic
tins mouth. DIR. Munson, the committee says,
coaxed and hired the old soldier not TO tell on
him. They also say that valuable property Of
the Home. such as paintings books, etc, which
were included in the original gift OF the Home
by its founder, disappeared while Munson was
Superintendent The paintings, many Of which
were the works Of renowned American aud
European artists, we're valued at $4,000 only
a few Of which remain at the Home. Other
valuable property has been taken from the
Home by Munson.

vice. The Brooklyn took part in the blockade
of New Orleans. and she was the next ship to
Farraguts flagship, the Hartford, in the menu
Orable ascent Of the Mississippi and the cap
ture of New Orleans. On this expedition she
came into violent collision with the Kinsa, aud
after clearing herself she received heavy fire
from Fort st. Philip. At Fort Fisher the
Brooklyn did effective service. She afterward
assisted in the attempt to capture the Alabama.

charges against Capt. Meredith Chief of the

charged that Capt. Meredith was using inferior
ink at the Bureau, aud Secretary Foster APP
pointed Messrs. w. w. Eldridge, A. J.. Drum
mOnd and L. L. Mills 10 make an Investigation.
Every facility was given the Committee TO
test the ink used, and also those which had
been rejected. and a number Of tests were made.
Hayes named William Wilson, OF New York,
as an expert TO make the tests, and he was ac-
cepted by Capt Meredith. These tests were
submitted 20 Ia expert plate printers seven Of
whom wero Knights Of Labor. Each Of these
experts examined the work and divided the
sheets into good aud bad classes. This sitting
was afterwards tabulated and il shows that of
the $50 examinations OF each kind of ink, 40
impressions made by Wilson were pronounced
good and 23l bad, and 2J3 impressions made
with the Bureau ink were good aud only q
