Mr., Charles Foster is largely interested
in the Standard Oil trust, and tins mon
opoly is not only a heavy exporter, but an
importer of tin-plate and an extensive
claimant for rebates of duty on tin. Sec
ton 2i3 of the Revised Statutes provides
that no person appointed to the Office of
Secretary Of the Treasury shall directly or

Senator Blackburn is the latest Demo-
crat to speak out against Cleveland as
Presidential possibility. All these pro-
tests, however, are vain. If Cleveland
lives and accepts the nomination he will
cent letter denies that he has withdrawn
from the race for the candidacy.-S.

Hon. jeremiah Simpson, who has gained
some newspaper notoriety through his
alleged scorn of socks, has remarkable
financial theory. II is to issue as circula-
ting money certificates to the full esti-
mated amount Of the gold and silver in
our mines. He has lost confidence in
banks of deposit; he has more faith in
sand banks. He would therefore leave
the precious metals on deposit in the earth,
and print paper money to represent them.

Mr.. CALVIN s. Brice is confronted by q
very unpleasant dilemma. The Supreme
Court of Ohio has just decided that the
Senator-elect cannot reside in Ohio for
the purpose of being elected United
Stales Senator and in New York for the
purpose of paying taxes. In d word, Mr..
Brice must be citizen of one State for all
purposes. This cruel decree will compel
Mr.. Brice to either pay his taxes or resign
his Senatorshp. The court NAV be up
held in this by the mere letter of the law,
but a broader view would surely have led
to u different decision, What encourage
ment to rise is there tor ambitious youths
if the millionairc's two dearest privi-
lcges-vz., of being Senator and evading
his taxes--cannot be enjoyed in unison?

The Hon. William Eaton Chandler has
been having one Of his periodical attacks
of letter-writing, and has assaulted con-
and other New Hampshire Republican
politicians. Some Of the gentlemen whom
Mr.. Chandler has attacked say he must be
insane. One pleasantly speaks of him as
q coward, cur and an assassin. No bet
ter proof of Chander's sanity could be
given than the fact that he is in word
fight. And now that he has been called a
coward, a cur and an assassin he will feel
perfectly happy. Little compliments of
ihis kind are the breath Of his nostrils.-

David Il. Hill may be regarded as having
formally announced his intention OF not
resigning his office of Governor when his
term as United States Senator begins.
That is TO say, the Albany Times, his
nearest newspaper representative, in an
article bearing the title when VIII the
Governor Resigp?' clearly intimates that
he hes no intention Of surrendering the
Governorship on the lth of March, but
win retain possession of it until the as
sembling of the Fifty-second Congress, on
the first Monday Of December. There is
no law on the statute book forbidding a
citizen Of New York to hold these two
great offices at the same time, and, taking
advantage Ct that fact, Mr.. Hill proposes
| TO give an exhibition uf greed for Office
holding which has never been equaled.--
