Knocked Out bv His Record.

It may be safely assumed that Gen. Alger
is out Of the race for the presidential nom
inatiOn Of the Republican party. His
/ presidential boom was regarded as a rather
big one Immediately after the publication
Of Mr.. Blaines letter Of Withdrawal. but il
seems there was dynamite stored in it,
though that fact was known TO very few
persons. One OF those persons was
Charles A. Dana, who was Assistant
/ Secretary Of War during Lincoln's admin
istration, and who. at that time, learned
good many things which he has been able
TO use with considerable effect during the
last quarter of a century. He knew about
the dynamite in Gen. Ayers boom, and,
not having that profound regard for the
general which some Of the republicans
have, he dropped something en- it which
caused it to explode and blow the boom
into fragments so small that it will be i'm
possible to find them.
Gen. Alger was a soldier in the war of
secession, and he left his post in time of
danger, and on the recommendation Of Gen
Sheridan he was discharged from the army.
He nad been a brave soldier and for that
reason il was not stated in the discharge he
received that he was dishonorably dis
charged.
The fact, however, that his career in the
army closed rather abruptly before the war
ended was kept a secret from all but very
few persons. During all the years he was &C
cumulating fortune of millions of dollars
no mention of it was made in the public
prints, but when he began to make his plans
for getting the presidential nomination it
was thought advisable to let the repu blicans
know something Of a most interesting thing
in his history. 1t would never do to nomi-
nate man who had left the army under
cloud, and it can therefore be stated quite
positively that Gen. Alger will not be a
prominent political figure when the Min
neapolis convention meets.
One by one the candidates for the repub-
lican nomination for President are dropping
out Of sight. Mr.. Blaine and Gen. Alger
are out of the field, and, although there are
numerous other candidates, it looks as if
Gen. Harrison would have a walkover, as
it were. There are other candidates who
will drop by the wayside before the ques.
ton OF the nomination is settled.

Ike.

Capt. Jack CRAWFORD in New York Clipper.
His quiet ways an honest look
Won all the diggin's at the start;
HIS blue eyes seemed an open book
In which we read his guileless heart
He first showed up at Placer Mound
JeS' after that big 80 strike,
An unobsrusive loafed around,
All unconcerned an quiet like.
Some thought he war millionaire
From Frisco. lookin' up a snap,
While others said he had the air
or some revival gospel chap.
The boys soon tied him to the name
OF Reverend Sanctimonious Ike"
Jes' cause he played the piOus game
So uncOncerned an quiet like
He nursed the sick; spoke words o. cheer
To them az ras led with despair,
An at the bed O. pain you'd hear
His low, sad voice in earnest prayer.
No matter vhar distress war found,
You'd see that Sanctimonious Ike,
Jes' like an angel moyin' round,
All unconcerned an quiet like
One night the safe in which war kept
The dust Of all the men in camp
War busted open while we slept,
By some darned onery. thieving scamp.
We took the trail amazin' quick,
An soon struck Sanctimonious Ike,
Lea1in' {. pack I1I7ia down tho creek,
All unconcerned an quiet like.
We found the stuff, jedge was chose,
An thar beneath @ jackoak tree,
The court convened, an wen it rose,
We took the back trail quietly.
AS up the mountain side we elm,
We took back ard glance at Ike,
A hangin' from a jackoak limb
Allunconcerned an quiet like

Cabinet discussions again attract the at
tention Of the Washington correspondents.
The President is annoyed because his official
family have shown SO marked lack Of in
terest in his welfare. Mr.. Wanamaker is
the chief object OF dissatisfaction, because
he has chopped off a number of postoffices
and reduced salaries at others at the very
time when he should have done just the op-
posite to popularize the administration.
Bargain counter methods won't do while
delegations to a national convention are
being chosen.

Fractional Paper Currency.
From the Chicago Netos (End.).

OF late the lack OF fractional paper currency
has grown to the proportions of an evil. 1t is
especially hardship to the persons in rural
districts who habitually remit small sums for
purchase by mail Neither postage stamps nor
postal notes I'LL the want, as both have to be
first purchased by the sender and then con-
verted into currency by the receiver, often at a
great Inconvenience. If any one has any
serious objection to the issue of fractional paper
currency Low is the time to make it known.

The Fast Mall.

The Postmaster General has not submit
ted any estimate to congress for the fast
mail service from Boston TO Tampa, and
unless congress authorizes an appropriation
for that purpose it is probable that the fast
mail will be discontinued after June so
next.
All of the coast tow WINS of the South Atlantic
states are interested in having the fast mail
continued. In this city the New York,
Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore
Newspaper and letter mails are received at
a. IN. the day after the packages are
mailed. If the fast mail should be discon-
tinued the mails from the above named
cities would not reach here until the AFTER
noon of the day after they were mailed.
That condition Of affairs would be ex-
tremely inconvenient for business men,
and, indeed, for anybody who has any in q,
terest in fast mails
Would it not be advisable for the trade
bodies of this city to make some recon-
mendation with regard to this matter
The late Senator Plumb was largely in
strumental in having the fast mail system
established, and he defended it stoutly
whenever efforts were made to discontinue
the appropriation fer it. There may be
those in the Senate and House who will in
terest themselves in this matter sufficiently
to prevent Inconvenience to this section il
their attention is called to it. ANYWAY, it
would be advisable for our trade bodies to
find out whether the interests of this city
are likely to be affected injuriously by the
policy which the Postmaster General
recommends.
The trade bodies Of Florida cities have
already entered their protest against dis
continuance of the fast mail service. They
are quick to protect their interests. The
fast mail has become al institution in this
section, and the disoontinuance of it would
delay business matters seriously.
