was not to be made Secretary of the
Interior. Just why Mr.. Willard did
not want Mr.. Morrison in that par
tioular place these very richly in
formed gentlemen do not say. They
prefer, perhaps, to leave that to the
imagination of the individual citizen.
Neither does any one come forward
with the assertion that Mr.. Cleveland
was party to the compact, or with an
explanation of It's having been so re-
ligiously consummated without bis
oonnivance. They content them
selyesy with three statements
1. The largest subscription to the
campaign fund was made by Mr..
Henry Willard.
2. The condition Of this subscrip-
ton was that Mr.. Morrison should
not be made Secretary of the Inte-
rior.
3. Mr.. Morrison has not been asked
to take the Interior.
To say that this story has raised
tremendous buzz of excitement is to
offer purely unnecessary sugges
ton. It has simply set the politicians
on fire, and tongues are wagging as
they never Wagged before.

Willard In IT.

Henry Willard, it is whispered in
political circles, will be the next
United States Minister to Berlin.
According to the gossip in the inner
circle, Mr.. Willard is said to have two
reasons for desiring the mission. The
Northern Pacific Railroad and its al
lied companies, of some Of which Mr..
Willard is president and Of others
chairman or director, owns 100000
600 Of acres under the control of this
corporation. If German emigrants
can be induced to locate on these
lands it will materially enhance the
value of Mr.. Wizards holdings.
1t is said that Mr.. Willard is re-
sponsible for the selection of Mr..
Hoke Smith of Georgia for Secretary
of the Interior. With Mr.. Willard as
Minister to Berlin and a friendly
Secretary of the Interior at Wash
ingtop, many large American invest
ments Of the brilliant speculator will
