accepted the Office of secretary of the

formal possession of California. Sub

He thinks that as the commissioner of

there may be room there for a com

can be no doubt, but that LOYALTY TO
his Immediate chief prevented this keen
critic from including "a secretary of
the Treasury, though we have no
money" in his list. Further on in his
report Commissioner Morton thus airs
his views upon proposition to allow
the purchase by Americans of foreign

should make" says he, sailing about
