Judge Davis. of Corvallis, Or, Who has
been waiting round here some time to get
the appointment of circuit Judge of the
territory OF Alaska. Is the worst dis
gruntied man in thu district. He de-
clares this administration will not give a
man n show for anything unless he comes
from the South, or has friends in that sec
tion who have strong influence with the
administration.
In proof of what he says he quotes a
case that came under his personal observa-
ton. A man named Lett, from Utah, was
an aspirant for the governorship of that
territory. He had the strongest kind of
Endorsements, and upon making q final
call at the White House one evening re-
ceived the personal assurance of Mr..
Cleveland himself that his commission
was at that moment being made out
and would be sent TO him the next day.
OF course he was extremely jubilant
went down to the hotel, called up all the
boys with whom he had become acquainted
during his stay and treated them to the
best the house afforded. The next morn
ing another man was appointed governor,
and Lett's name was sent In for some
minor office. Lett afterw ards learned that
just after he left the White House
the evening before, Mrs. Carlisle
went over to see Mrs. Cleveland in behalf
Of the man who was appointed. In days
long gone by this man had done a service
TO her brother, and now pressed his claim
upon her gratitude Women do not need
the suffrage TO rule in politics. Mr. Cleve-
land made out the commission which Mrs.
Carlisle asked for. Mr. Lett went back to
Utah meditating deeply upon the muta-
bility of human affairs.

Mohsmm ed ans ana Christians and Cati
oItcs and Protsstants Disagree.

BERLIN, Dec. o6-News has been re-
ceived from Uganda that the Moham-
med ans have been expelled by Christians.
Severe fighting is now inevitable between
Christians and Mohammedans, and an en-
counter will probably take place at
Myorom. IL is believed there will be re-
newed conflicts between hotestants and
Catholics. owing to the fact thai the
former have broken. the agreement with
Catholics and depopulased the provinces
of kiama and Bivenkula and the large
Sese islands, whose populations were
Catholic. The Protestants are also said to
have declared vengeance upon native con-
vcrts to Catholicism. and u Is believed
peace can only be secured by permanent
expulsion of the Mohammedan bagas and
separation of the Catholic and Protestant
spheres by the Nile tributaries.

The authorization given by the comptrol-

ness December 81 was brought about in no
small measure by the efforts of Senator
Squire. coupled with the favorable reports
brought to Washington City by Bank Ex-

tor, In personal in .eryiews with Comptrol-
Ter Eckels, pointed out the ex-
lent effect such resumption
would have upon business in
