Van A1en,s Confirmation.

The Senate did right when it confirmed
the nomination Of Mr.. J. j. Van Allen to be
ambassador of the United States at Rome.
The assaults upon him were mean and
low, and apparently all sprung from one
source Mr.. Van Allen is wealthy, moves
in good society and conducts himself as
gentlemen should; and therein lies the
cause of the violent opposition TO him that
was developed 1t seems that Mr.. Van
Allen is choice of his company; he selects
his friends TO suit his taste-the privilege
certainly, Of every American citizen. And
among the selections Mr.. Van Allen neg
lected to include a certain New York
newspaper proprietor, man of millions,
with great social aspirations but mighty
little principle.
This neglect on the part Of Mr., Van
Allen angered the great newspaper man,
and he gave orders to his staff to roast
Van Allen in every column of the paper.
And the staff did it. Van Aliens wealth
was made the basis for socialistic Trades
against him day after day, until the sub
ject became disgusting. And many less
important newspapers, without knowing
what they were doing, or why they were
doing it, took up the shout against the
plutocrat whom Mr.. Cleveland had APP
pointed to Office.
1t was charged that Mr.. Van Allen had
purchased his nomination by making
contribution of $4,000 to the democratic
campaign fund. That charge, however,
was effectively disposed of by Mr.. Whit
ney, through whom it was alleged the
bargain had been made.
The fact of the matter is, Mr.. Van Allen
is altogether a proper person for the
place. He has education, refinement, So
cial position, wealth and brains sufi-
Gent to enable him torhonor the place to
which he has been appointed. A poor
man could not live at Rome as the Ameri-
can minister, and occupy prominent po-
sition among the diplomats of that CAPT
tai, upon his official salary only. 1t costs
round sums of money to maintain the dig
nifty of America at the leading capitals of
Europe; much more than Uncle Sam
pays his ministers, as Robert Lincoln,
Whitelaw Reid and Ex-Minister Porter
know. Mr. Porter tried the Italian mis-
sion with nothing but his salary to de-
pend upon, and had to give it up and
come home.
There is no good reason to believe that
Mr. Van Allen will not make one of the
best foreign representatives in the service
Of the government.

Redemption of Postage Stamps.

When the old fractional paper currency
-"shinplaster money" it was called
had grown to be a nuisance in general
business it was retired. But the retire
ment left a want in our money system
that has not since been supplied, although
numerous attempts in that direction have
been made The old shinplasters were
very convenient to send through the mails
when small sums were to be exchanged.
Merchants, farmers, shoppers-eyery-
body used them, and when they were
withdrawn there was nothing left to take
their place as a small, mailable currency.
The nearest approach to such a conven-
fence, was and is, postage stamps, and
thousands of persons have yearly used
them, in the room of something better.
And so long as the government fails to
furnish, free, some form of postal paper
money for sums less than one dollar,
redeemable at any postoffice, our business
men will continue to be annoyed by the
postage stamp nuisance. For, when it is
remembered that there is no provision in
the law for the redemption of unused post
age stamps, forcing the merchant or other
business man who receives them to sell
them at a discount or get rid of them as
best he may, and when it is remembered,
also, how postage stamps in transit be-
come glued together, and thus rendered
useless, it will be acknowledged that the
stamp habit, under existing circum-
stances, is a nuisance.
Congressman Bingham has, however,
introduced bill in congress which, if
passed, will have the effect of abating the
nuisance to some extent. His proposition
is that the stamps shall be given some
thing of the character of money. Mr.
Bingham's bill provides that postmasters
at money order post Offices, shall redeem
or purchase stamps from the public, pro
vided they be not soiled orotherwise dam
aged, at a charge to be fixed by the Post
master General, not = exceeding 215
per cent, and to be deducted from
the face value of the stamps, the charge,
however, never being less than l cent I;
but single postage stamps are not to be
purchased from the public, and when pre-
sented for redemption they must be in
strips of not less than two that have never
been separated.
The objection to this proposition is the
charge for the exchange, which should be
| free.

that more money is the need OF the hour,

An Unblushing Confession.
From the New York Advertiser.

l held her hand, her little hand,
So soft and small and white,
l pressed it often to my lips,
And clasped its fingers tight. .
That loving clasp my love declared,
And l was not ashamed
To own l loved her, for who could
For loving her be blamed.
She let her hand, her little hand,
Rest lovingly in mine,
My tender pressure she returned,
Like teudrils Of vine
Her little fingers clasped mine close.
And her affection told.
And why not: She's my daughter, and
To-day she S four years old.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Silver Must be Settled.

From the Atlanta Herald (Dem).
The question must lie settled, or the pres
ent session must keep on trying, for If the
democrats in congress refuse to come to an
agreement the sondity of the party will be
very greatly endangered, The House should
refuse to adjourn until the Senate has taken
action.

To appreciate the virulence of the vel
low fever epidemic at Brunswick it is
necessary to bear in mind that there are,
comparatively speaking, very few people
remaining in thescity. The ratio of new
cases TO the population yesterday was
about to 100-there are not more than
5000 people in Brunswick. An equally
active epidemic in a city the size of Savan-
nah would have shown a sick list for yes
terday of 500 new cases, while in a city
the size of New York, infected as
thoroughly as is Brunswick, the sick list
would have mounted up to $500 or 5000
new cases. Comparisons of the kind will
help TO an appreciation of the stricken
city's predicament, which is indeed one
that calls for prompt and liberal as
sistance from the outside.

Can anybody imagine what Senator
Harris, of Tennessee, meant when he
said in the Senate the other day, when
asked what was to prevent the Vice
President from simply calling for or or
dering vote, at the suggestion of the
majority: "Why, sir; don't believe he
would live to accomplish it, Certainly he
would not be permitted to do such n
thing" 1t is not possible that Senator
Harris meant that the silverites would
mob the Vice President, in the event of
his calling for a vote. But does it not
sound that way} Senator Harris should
be more careful of his language. His pur-
pose, very likely, was only TO get Off a bit
of big-sounding buncombe. But it does
not look at all good in print

Senator Quay's silver proposition-the
one the silver senator's were reported
yesterday as holding as club over the
heads of the sound money party-is that
silver coinage shall be suspended until
Jan Z, 1896. 1t is easy enough to discern
Quay's purpose, aud to see why the silver
men would agree to the proposition. Such
an arrangement would permit of silver
being made an issue in the next elections,
ovorshadowing the tariff and other re
publican hobbies; that is what Quay
would like. The postponing of the sus-
pension until 1896 would give the silver
mine owners three years more of the
governments enforced market for their
silver; and that is what the silverites
would like.

broadcloth suit and high black silk hat,
such as he wore at the time of his in
auguration. But the ''sizZar0' arrived
in Washington last Sunday. and Mr..
Cleveland succumbed to it on Monday.
He went up town for " straw hat of

worn it since. 1t has generous brlm,
though pot of the granger dimensions.
It has quite marked effect on the per-
sanal appearance of the president, as it
makes him look even shorter than
before.
The retirement of the silk hat was ac-
companied by change of raiment also.
The black broatheloth suit was replaced
by one of light miller's gray, with a
shaggy wool surface and faint diagonal
pattern. The president still clings TO
lis starched linen and has not even laid
aside his waistcoat. He is never tempted
toward the negligee shirt or silk sash,
and In this connection it is noted that
there is not a negligee shirt or sash in
tie cabinet. Secretary Morton'S russell
shoes are the only concession to the
lawn tennis vote.
Mr. Cleveland has taken pains to see
that plenty of cool breezes fan him
while he is at the executive desk. He
has had arranged two large, whirling
electric fans which play upon him, and
are so arranged as to keep constant
current of fresh air in the room. The
cabinet room has also been provided
with electric fans. Mr. Cleveland works
throughout the day without changing

bookmakers had all they could do to
accommodate the fearful crowd, which
for over two hours fought, pushed and
smashed hats and rent garments in the
frantic effort to get their money on their
opinion of the result. Even after the
horses were at the post-the crowd was

ers kept it nearly all.
