President Cleveland Complaining.

The Washington special in Tues
days Richmond Times says: Presi
dent Cleveland made the other day a
remark which may have a
bearing upon his subsequent ap-
pointments in Virginia and still
which may not. During q converse
ton with personal friend, he said:
"It is strange to Inc that after all of
my very pronounced utterances
againsta disposition to appoint gen
tienen to the same positions former
ly held by them, that Virginia more
than any other state should insist
upon putting such endorsements up
on me- This docs not imply that
Mr.. Cleveland does not highly regard
his former appointees, nor does it
necessarily follow that lie will not
reappoint some of them, but it does
show that he is fully aware that our
Congressman have TO a considerable
extent considered their own wishes
and fortunes III these matters rather
than be guided absolutely by his ex-
pressed wishes. IN justice 10 our
delegation, though, it is but fair TO
state that in large number of cases
the promises and endorsements were
made before the President announ-
ced his policy in these matters.

Queer Cases tc be Unearthcd.

The work of re-examining all the
pensions issued under the act of 1890
will begin soon, and it is expected
some queer cases will be unearthed.
There is one case that has come to
the attention of the officials acct
dentally, in which Assistant Secretary
Bussey had reversed the action of the
pension Office and granted 81 pension
Of six dollars per month to a lnan
whose most severe disability, as
shown by the medical examination,
was the presence Of two corns ON his
great toes. There was no evidence
of his inability to perform manual
labor, and it is probable his case will
be one Of the first to be taken up by
the department and re-eIamined.
There will be no stoppage of pen
sions without re-examination of
the case and no man will be done
any injustice, but it is probable that
when the department has looked in
to the case OF the man with the corns
on his toes his pension will be stop

Marylanders continue to depredate
upon us, and daily are taking thous-
ands of dollars worth Of the property
of the Commonwealth from the wa
tiers OF Tangier and Pocomoke
Sounds. They are there in such
force that, despite the most vigilant
efforts of Captains Gaskins and Reid,
it is impossible almost to prevent
them from taking and carrying away
whatever they want-and in one in
stance at least so bold have they be-
come, that our own citizens lawfully
engaged in catching crabs have been
driven away by them. Ostensibly
tn our waters for the purpose OF
grabbing, they often find it more pro-
fitable to catch our oystere and never
fail to avail themselves Of that OPP
portunity when presented. To pro-
tect us against the invaders the
steamer Chesapeake has been petit
toned for, and we have the right to
infer that the petition will not be is-
nored, if the sleepy Board OF the
Chesapeake and it's Tributaries can
ever be aroused to a sense of their
duty.

The body of Jefferson Davis was
laid to its final rest last Wednesday,
in Hollywood, in the capital city OF
our State, in the presence OF an I'M
mense throng of people from every
section in the South. In removing
the body from the cemetery in New
Orleans, where it had rested for the
last three years, it was received ev-
erywhere with the most touching
evidences of love and recpect The
demonstrations along the route OF
the funeral cortege and the final GER
emonies at Hollywood attest the fact,
that time has not abated the affec-
tionate remembrance of the people
for the memory of the man who was
their leader and who with them suf-
fered so much for the Lost Cause.
Virginia in accepting voluntary the
guardianship of the sacred ashes met
fully the just expectation of the pub
lie last Wednesday, and will faith
fully guard that trust as long as time
lasts.

Secretary Hoke Smith has recently
revoked an extraordinary order Of
Pension Commissioner Raum and
Assistant Secretary Bussey. which
was clearly in violation OF the second
section Of the act Of June 81. 1890,
and giving the pensioners provided

instead of grading them at 81, S. to

The revoking of this order by Sec

CHICAGO, June 29.-All interests III
and around the worlds fair just now
seem to be centering on the big celebra-
ton to be held on the Fourth of July.
From this time on there will be no spe-
cial days until the Fourth. In antici-
patton of that great event all the en-
ployes at the exposition are busily en-
gagged in making extensive prepara-
tions. The railways, elevated and sur
face, and the steamboat lines are
making arrangements already for the
handling Of the crowd. The Illinois
Central is preparing to run its special
worlds fair trains into the big terminal
station inside the fair grounds, and all
the other roads leading to jackson park
are making ready to handle greater
number of people than have yet
attended the fair at any one day. Ii
the weather continues as pleasant
until after the Fourth as
it has been for the last fortnight, the
worlds fair officials say over half
million people will attend the celebra-
ton. Another beautiful day drew out
a big crowd of visitors to see the fair.
The attendance today was larger than
that of yesterday, and the night attrac-
tions in the way of fireworks and elec-
trio displays increased the number of
admissions greatly.
Today's paid admissions to the fair
numbered 107, $40.

CURRENCY AT A PREMIUM
Philadelphia Experiencing De-
cided StringencY.


PHILADELPHIA, June 29.-Six per
cent was the rate for all demand loans
here today. and, owing to the scarcity
of New York exchange, drafts on that
city commanded a slight premiums.
Currency was also in great demand and
in some cases a small premium was
paid. The president of one of the lead
ing banks here was questioned this aft
ernoon regarding the published state
meut that Philadelphia banks were
debtors to New York banks to large
amount, which they are unable to remit
on account of their inability to procure
New York exchange or currency.
'There is nothing to say about it, Z" he
replied. sour bank is not in the swim.
We don't owe New York one cert. but
there is no doubt but that the informa-
tion is true in the case of some of the
banks. Itis just a question of how long
the present strlngency is going to con-
tinue. The trouble is that the banks
cannot get the currency. We have to-
day three large pay rolls to meet, but
we have the currency here to do it
with; but how long it will last nobody
can tell. If the people, instead of
bringing their currency here, lock it up
in tin boxes, the supply will soon run
out There is no doubt that some of the
banks have offered pretty good money
for exchange, but think 1t is not good
policy to agitate the question in the
newspapers. 1t is only calculated to
make matters worse. l believe, though.
that things will be better after the 4th,
when the dividend and interest pay
ments put q lot OF new money into cir
culation. People will scare very fool
ishly, and the banks have to make the

when they finally had to buy back sill

useful lesson. The sales of yesterday
were doubtless chiefly liquidation of
old long accounts, and their result Will
ultimately be the extinction. of silver as

CEASED MINING.
The Famous Mollie Gibson and
Other Mines Close Down.

ASPEN, COL, June 29.-The famous
Mollie Gibson mine, the greatest silver
producer in America. closed down last
night, and unless there is an advance
in the price of silver or some plan
agreed upon by the mine managers of
Denver, will not operate until sucha
time as 1t will be justified in doing so.
There is not left in full operation
a single one OF the big properties.
and 1t is the opinion that all of the
smaller ones will close by the end of
the week. The total number of men
laid off here yesterday was $50. In adj
dition to the closing down of the Mollie
Gibson mines, throwing 800 people out
of employment, two mines at Creede
closed today-the Amethyst aud the
New York-and 1t IS given out that
others will follow in the latter district.
