EXIT COLLECTOR MOFFETr
A Democratic Successor Next Week
Tommy Lane Knocked Ont.
Special to The Jersey citv Neaos. !.


WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2S, 1S93-
The Sc crerary of the Treasury yesterday
called for the resignation of Isaac .Moffe.t,
Internal Revenue Collector for the First
district of New Jersey, and it can be
predicted that his Democratic successor
will be named within the next week OF
ten days.
Senator Smith had a long conference
in the afternoon with the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, not so much, how
ever, about new appointees as about a
change in boundaries of the revenue
districts III New Jersey. A PROPOSE
tion is under consideration to add
three counties to the Camden district 80
as to equalize the two districts. AT
present the receipts from the Tfirst dis :
trict are less than 5000, ,000 while for
Newark district they aggregate over
81, 100000. The forces OF the two offices
are proport1onately dissimiiar, the New
ark collector having Il very large staff of
deputies and other assistants while there
are only few for the Camden office.
This reorganization of the Boundaries,
however, is not yet settled. Senator
Smith called for names of applicants for.
colectorships in the t.soS districts gnd
carried them away with him. They hive
already been printed IN these dispatches.
WHO?
In conversation with your correspond
ent, The Senator said that it could be
stated with absolute truth that no steps
had yet been taken towards the selectian
of the new collector. Senator. Mo Pher-
son and l have arranged" he said, "to
meet and discuss the matter before next
Saturday, on which day Mr.. Mcpherson
will sail for Europe. We will hardly
meet in Washington, but will probably y
see each other in New York. When we
hold our conference we Will decide upon
the appointees."
Senator Smith seem to think that the
administration might also put a Demo
crat in the place of Collector at Large at
Newark, but the Treasury officials do
not look for a change there until next
fall Henry G. Kemin Was today ap-
pointed by Secretary Carlisle, ,superinuen-
dent or Public Buildings upon the re-
commendation of Supervising Architects
O'Rourke. Mr.. Kemm is an
architect of Newark, and as Mr.. O'Rourke
says, is intelligent and competent and
has been for some years a nlemb ber OF the
Buard OF Education of that city. The
place pays seven dollars day, including
Sundays.
Your correspondent learned yesterday
that Assembiyman Thomas f. Lane,
tho WAS supposed TO 8, and good chance
to steb iuto Assistant Commissioners
O'Beirbe's shoes, will be doomed to dis
appointment. Senator Smith said this
evening that certain complications had
arisen which would prevsnt Mr.. Lanes
appointment as had bee1 txDected.
but he did not say what the complications
were,

SENATOR BATE ON VALUE.

Turning over the pages OF the silver
debate In the Congressional Record our
eye fell on the speech made by Senator
Bate. Of Tennessee, on the 18th OF Septem-
Der. from which we make the following
extract:
1.-THE act OF l7g2 defined the dollar ana
then created the metallic representative
and the dollar thus defined was made the
standard OF value, with the same GER
tainty as that OF the law which liked a
standard of weights and measures. Ihe
trainers OF that law-hamiltOn and Jel-
ferson, Bowditch and Rittenhouse-nXed,
that is, made stable and permanent the
standards for value. for weights and tor
measures. The dollar was 10 measure

was TO measure length. AS the yard
would be thirty-six inches, no matter or
what wood the stick was made, ana the
pound, whether OF iron, lead or feathers

should be always S7ll-f grains OF pure
knver. whether represented by a gold or
a silver coin, or "a paper certificate, or
greenback or a national bank note or an

when England fixed the length OF the
yard IL was 10 be. as defined, the straight
line of distance between the centres OF the
transverse lines IN the two plugs IN the
bronze bar deposited in the office OF the
execheduer shall be the genuine yard at

Hamilton and jefferson defined the dollar
the definition was not less exact and posi-
tive-it Is to be 81 Ia grains OF pure silver.
In both examples it was something nxed
20 which one could tie. The Variableness

structing the repeal Of the vicious Sher-
man law, which the Senate OF the United
States is now wasting its time In putting
out 10 the country as debate" And
sei atcr Rate is no worse than the others.
They are all the same.
SCI Gtor Bate argues that the trainers
OF our mint law intended to declare that
81 Ia grains OF pure silver should always
there after be dollar to perform all the
functions OF dollar, no nlatter what

their Will effectuai. and II is as COM
retent TO Us to undo their (, oish work
as II was 10 them to set II up. But they
never intended TO DO anything so absurd
That same act OF 1853 also provides that

should equally be a dollar. They never tn
