NEW STILL IN 1T.
He May Yet Be Secretary of the
Treasury.

treasury.
New YORK, Feb. 8. "A gentleman of
more than local prominence, who has
long been identified with public affairs
and isreputed to be thoroughly Informed
regarding the inside workings of the
present administration, and who has
just returned from visit to Washing
ton, said to-day: AT 5 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon last President Harrison
cabled Gen. John c. New, consul gen.
eral at London, TO come to Washington
at once. 1t will be remembered that
when President Harrison was max
ing up his cabinet Gen. New was
very anxious to be appointed
secretary of the treasury. He had been
treasurer and assistant secretary of the
treasury, and his ambition impelled him
to seek the secretaryship. But his
friends urged upon him that he could
not then afford to sacrifice the consul
generalship for the position of secretary
of the treasury. The consul general
ship would certainly yield him $25, 900
annually, and, besides. would give many
legitimate opportunities of increasing
that sum. Gen. New finally decided to
accept the consul generalship. Now it
is believed he can afford to relinoush
it. Unless Gen. New decides that the
handsome income from the consul gen
eralship, with its freedom from care, is
better than the secretaryship, with
its perplexities Qeaving out the i'm
pulses Of ambtiOn), he will probably
he the next secretary of the treasury.
This is the settled opinion of those who
are best informed as to the presidents
purposes. 1t is known that Gen. New
has studied the whole British question
thoroughly from an international stand
point. AS he is man of great discre-
ton and caution, besides thoroughly
American, his views will be of the
greatest Importance to Mr.. Harrison,
who fully-realizes this in all its breadth
and significance, as he knows that he
will want at his command the best, full
est and most accurate sources of infor-
nation. This fact alone makes Gen.
New the strongest possible candidate
for the secretary of the treasury"

OUR POLITICAL REFoRM ERs.

W Ii fOLIIlCAL REF oIS NJ GIAo.
The public notices with interest that
ANDREW r. KIEFER, that great polltl-
cal reformer, is taking a prominent
part in the constitutional conventions
of the chamber of commerce. During
the last city election there was no
scheme too crazy for him to indorse,
providing he thought it would help his
political candidacy. Now, however.
having been permanently consigned to
the monotony of the real estate busl-
ness by his unappreciative fellow eltl-
ZenS, he comes out strongly fol retrench-
ment and reform. He wants to reduce
everybody's salary 50 per cent, provided
he gets over $4,000 at present Does
this mean that HAsC AL r. BRILL and
CHARLES E. OTIS are to give their eX-
elusive services to Ramsey county for
$500 year, or does the scheme have
no wider scope than to embrace men
like L. w. RUNDLETT and THOMAS D..
O'BRIEN at that princely compensation?
MARCUS ID. MUM is also in favor OF
cutting down salaries, but his limit is
the somewhat indefinite one of the low
est practicable point. Mr.. MUM IS
probably more enthusiastic about this
matter now that his salary has been cut
down from $500 to nothing than he
would have been year ago. The
GLOBE believes in retrenchment and
economy, but it thinks that the initia-
tive in salary reductions had better be
taken by somebody else than defeated
candidates for public office. There was
one important motion which was put
and carried at Saturday nights constl-
tutional convention, and that was mo-
ton to adjourn.

Dead Now, But His Ghost Con-
tinues Business at the Old Stand.

Rats have always been credited with
great intelligence. Their tricks some
times rise entirely above the level of
mere animal cunning ami reach the
domain in humor. A family living on
the West side has been both amused and
annoyed by the doings of rat in the
cellar. says the Buffalo Express. TO
give an outline OF the creatures career
would fill book, and only a few of his
featS can be referred to here.
He appeared to delight most in carry
ing things about the cellar, and his
fayoriie freight was eggs, The eggs
were kept in a box with cover shutting
close down over it-not mere lid, but
real shutter with rim on it. The
rat cared little for that, but not only
carried off the eggs as fast as he pleased,
but he always shut the cover just as lie
found 1t.
1t is said that rats carry eggs between
their fnrepaws ard walk OH their hind
ones like kangaroo, but nobody APP
pears to have found out just how this
one carried on his business. The eggs

He did everything just for the fun OF
the thing and never for plumber. But
somehow the family didn't take kindly
to the rat and his ways. and unfeeIlngly
set trap and caught him, when he was
dispatched Just as though he wasn't Il
bit of d genius. But still the eggs turn
up in unexpected parts of the cellar,
just TO remind people of the sharp quad
runeit that once had the run of things
down there. The last discovery is of

sion of this was to labor 1896 and to cap
itaI $500. In the same time in the
United States the production of the
workman was s720. OF this 1916 went
to the employe and 1874 to capital. The
English laborer had the larger part of
the fruits of his toll and the American
capitalist took the larger share. Per-
haps the American laborer will see in
this the force of the claim that pro-
lection puts HIM in condition to
sympathize with the pauper labor of
free trade England.

WHEN a legislature in one of the
states East recently, under the prodding
of Farmers Alliance, passed bill
making the use of passes bribery, the
members began to feel in their pockets,
and as natural result the bill did not

the proposition to abolish all mileage

GRADUAL SOLUTION.

1t has been indicated by the recent
figures of the census bureau that the In
dian is receding factor in the unfold
ing history of the country. Some data
OF interest are also afforded Of the darker
and more numerous race. There has
been an impression that the easy null
tiplication of the colored element was
leading to prodigious gain in the nu-
merical contest OF races in some states,
and the dark cloud of African domi-
nation ultimately has been cOniured up.
The figures of the Southern states are
not complete, but, so far as had, they
show that the whites are gaining on the
blacks in ratio OF increase. In Ala
bama, for instance. in 1880 the negroes
comprised 4S per cent of the popu-
Iation. while under the new count they
hardly reach As per cent. Taking the
three largely colored states of Alabama,
Louisiana and South Carolina, and it is
found that colored majority of 159, S36
has been lost in the decade, and white
majority of 54.937 taken its place. The
percentage in each is largely in favor of
the whites, in South Carolina by the
surprising proportion of thirty-one
whites to five colored. 1t might be sup
posed that the blacks would increase in
a much larger ratio in freedom than in
slavery, but the figures do not so indi-
cate. As the disproportion between the
numbers of the races increases tine fric-
ton will lessen. In Texas, Virginia,
and other states in which the whites
greatly preponderate, little is heard of
race troubles.
