Ia Livingston a Candidate.

A Washington special TO the Baltimore
american has this interesting bit Of polit-
ical gossip: 1.-THE alliance party of the
south is about TO press its claims upon ar.
Cleveland for recognition in the cabinet.
The self-announced candidate Of this sle-
ment Is Representative Livingston, Of Geor-
gia. who claims TO have founded the alli-
ance party In the south. and who has in
CURED the bitter opposition In the south of
the regular democratic organization. Mr.
Livingston wishes to be Secretary OF Agri-
culture, a place in the cabinet which he
thinks would afford the best outlet for the
demands Of the discontented white element
Of the South Atlantic and Gulf states. The
regular southern democracy will deny Mr..
Livingston its support"
Mr.. Livingston was elected TO congress by
democrats upon democratic ticket. He
was an allianceman, but took an active part
in an effort TO keep the alliance out Of the
Peoples party during the last election. He
had two opponents for congress, one being
Mr.. Tsliaferro, who was nominated by the
Peoples (siliance) party; but Taliaferro
withdrew from the race, and the anti-demo
cratic vote in the alliance was cast for Rev.
Mr.. Small Livingston may have received
a considerable portion of the alliance vote,
but not as the alliance party's' candidate.
These facts would seem TO make it i'm
probable that Mr.. Livingston is "self-an-
nounced" candidate for cabinet honors
on the strength OF the assertion
that his selection would tend to
bring about better feeling between the
populists and the democrats. For it would
not. Livingston is about as cordially dis
liked by the populists Of this state as any
man IN it. II, besides this, it were true
that he had incurred the bitter opposition
of the regular democratic organization" he
would be in a bad way )" politically speak
ing, and it is difficult to see how his eleva-
ton to the cabinet would bring about a
friendship between populists and democrats.
Furthermore the alliance party which
is Synonymous with the Peoples party Of
the south, has no ''claims" upon Mr.. Cleve-
land or his administration to "press." It
would be sheer nonsense for anybody TO say
10 has. That party did everything in its
power to compass Clsvelacd's defeat and
arouse bad feeling between the residents of
the cities and the country. To the Demo-
cratic party alone is due the credit for
ClOveland's election, and only democrats
should be given Offices.

TIE Umbr.a's Broken shaft.

The romance Of the Umbria has been well
written. and it was very enterta. ming both to
sesnen and landsmen-to landsmen for its
thrilling adventure, and to seamen for its ao-
surdity," said Robert Lausmith. a retired sea-
fsring man to Washington Post writer. 1T
has brought shekeis to the newspapers and
fame to the seamen. As a friend | want to post
the Post in matter that will give further en-
tertanment TO its readers, aud now is a pro-
pitiOGs time to do it. Let ire Post find some
capable seaman TO tell the facts in regard TO
ships and the sea- II is twenty five years since
left the sea, but would not detract from the
admiration due 10 the bravery Of the seamen
when the perils of his occupation confront him.
''TEe cold facts in the Umbria case would be
that her shaft became broken during 6 storm ct
sea; that there are l20 men employed in her en-
gineer department; that she is a modern steam
snip that cost millions of money. She ia sup
piled with iron, FORCES and tools for repairing
any break or damage TO her machinery, and 1t
ought to be simple matter for her trained me-
chanics to mend her shaft or repair any damage
to her machinery as it ia for any sailor 20 splice
the mainbrace.
"a stanch vessel on the open sea 600 miles
from land in the worst Of gales is in no immi-
nent danger. The dnnger TO a ship is the shore.
The danger is less when lying-to with disabled
shaft, and the comfort of the passengers is
greater than when running. Fifty years ago
sailor sailing 30O-ton bark in q gale at sea, il
he was far enough away from land, would sim
ply take in his sails and spars, lash his helm,
oa1ten his matches, go below and sleep until the
storm was over. "

Senator Pettigrew. of South Dakota, has
his young son with him in Washington and
the boys adventures are of such nature that
the dignitied senator is almost always ION
pins" A few days ago the toy had q mar
row escape from drowning, but the incident
did not dampen his spirits hit He read in
the newspapers about the plecard on the
white house door warning people that there
was scarlet fever within; then he went and
had look at the sign. 1t pleased his fancy
and when be was told that it was to keep
visitors away he was delighted. He knew
his pa needed something that would do that
very thing, so he made a copy of the fever
sign and hung 1t on the door of the Petit
grew residence. And there it hung for an
entire day before anybody belonging to the
house discovered it. The effect on undo
sirable visitors was charming but the after
Chaps that fell to young Pettigrew's part
were not.

Tho Andrew Banking Bill,

The Andrew banking bill which has been
tavorably reported by the banking oom-
mittes Of the House, repeats that portion of
the Sherman law which requires the treas
ury department TO purchase a certain
amount Of silver per month. 1t, however,
leaves in force the section which guarantees
the intsgity OF the notes issued under the
law. Il also authorizes the Secretary Of
the Treasury to coin the bullion now Ia the
treasury, 90 far az necessary to provide Tor
the redemption OF the notes, and to coin the
remainder "for the use of the treasury as
speedily as the demands upon the treasurer
may render possible the payment out or the
treasury OF such standard dolIars." The
national banks are authorized to increase
their circulation 70 the par value Of their
bond deposits, and the bank tax 10 fixed at
one-half Of per cent. per year.
The foregoing features are, OF course,
only the leading ones. The bill was re-
ported by 80 large q majority of the COM
mittee on banking-S voting for it and s
against it-that it is thought il the speaker
opens the way for getting it before the
House ct an early day it will pass that body
during this congress. There is growing
feeling in congress that something must be
done speedily toward stopping the purchase
Of silver by the government. In commercial
and financial circles the belief is that the
country has about as much silver now as it
can carry safely. The silverites will, OF
course, do all they can to defeat any effort
TO repeal the Sherman silver law unless
they have assurances Of other
legislation equally favorable TO their inter-
ests. 1t is doubtful, however, If they are
strong enough to prevent the repeal Of the
law. even If the repeating bill should not
be accompanied by concessions to the silver
sentiment satisfactory to them.
The Democratic party meant what it
said when 1t declared in its national plat
form that the Sherman act must be repealed,
and deinocrstio congressman will hardly
dare 10 take position in opposition to that
declaration.

Death OF Senator Kama.

The announcement Of the death OF Senator
John E. Kenna, OF West Virginia, conveyed
in our dispatches this morning, will be re-
received throughout the country with many
expressions OF regret. He was a mere boy
when he entered the confederate army. In
fact, he was only II years old when the war
ended. He was admitted to the bar when
he was % years old and before he was so be
was elected TO congress and was a senator
at 49, 1t isn't often that man reaches the
United States Senate at so early an age.
He was, however, well qualified for the
position. When a member Of the House his
ability as a debater and parlianentariau
was recognized. He was one OF the late
Samuel j. RandeIl'S lieutenants, in the lat
ter's parliamentary battles, aud vas highly
thought Of by that distinguished statssrDan.
Owing TO ill-health Senator Kenna was
not able Co give close attention to his sens
torial duties during the last few years of
his life. Had he been spared a plumber of
years longer aud possessed good health he
would have made q name for him
self that would have lived in history. He
was an incorporating democrat and as
true friend as one could wish to have.

The Pennsylvania Reilroad Company had
denied the report that it had begun a war
on labor organizations. and explained the
recent discharges in one OF it's freight Off
ces, before Representative Miller. of Wis
consin. introduced his resolution for an
investigation. The road said its agent,
who made the discharges referred to. had
acted on his own responsibility. without
orders, ana that his action would be inves-
tigated and proper steps in the premises
taken. That the members of labor unions
employed by the Pennsylvania company
have taken no action in the matter would
seem to show that there WAS not much
foundation for the original story, for labor
unions are very sensitive. When there
is good ground for complaint it is safe to
say they Will always be heard from.
Miller's resolutions, therefore, may be set
down as an appeal to the prejudice Of the
lnooring classes not familiar with the cir
cumstances.

be considerably increased this year from a

The stamps cost the government only q
