ROOSEVELT'S APPOINTMENT.
Reward for Campaign Contributions
THINKS the London Chronicle.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Chronicle this
morning says: I'm our New York tele-
gram OF yesterday, dealing with the APP
pointment of Mr.. Roosevelt to the
United States Embassy in London, the
main contention was that money In
American politics supplanted merit as
a necessary qualification for diplomatic
as well as for other kinds of public
o~tice-that Is, money to keep the party
machine well oiled.
In denying now that the relations be-
tween the American Ambassador and
his former secretary were strained the
trouble IL taken to contradict something
that we never alleged. Moreover. as this
latter statement disposes of any possible
grounds for Mr.. Whites dismissal, that
dismissal, In the absence OF any friction
between Mr.. White and his chief, be-
comes all the more inexplicable save on
the ground advanced by our correspond
ent, that Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign con
tributions had secured substantial recog
milton from the President.
Mr. Roosevelt Is undoubtedly a rich
and therefore a prominent man in New
York City. His family, we understand
belongs to the 400 Of the upper class
of society"

Early to-day the body OF a man wal
found lying neal the Hudson River Rail-
road tracks. at the foot of West One

DON'T TRY 1T.

The election Of Judge Maynard is In

THE CowARpLY MAKEsH1FT DEAD.

The most mlschlevous clausc of "The
cowardly makeshift known as the Shcr-
man act of 1890 IL now blotted from the
statute book. II IL lead and buried at
last. The Repeal bill was passed by the
House over the heads of the bafled
filibusters early yesterday afternoon by
a vote of 1873 yeas to "a nays, or, more
than two to one, Before 4.3O o'clock the
President had affixed his signature and
the bill was n law.
President Cleveland has won credit for
the steady determination with which he
adhered to the policy of unconditional
repeal and refused to give countenance
to any cowardly compromise. The
Democratic party has won credit for car
rying out In good faith that promise Of
its platform which through circum-
stances had become the most pressing
and for the fulfllment of which the
extra session was called. Congress- has
won credit for giving the financial and
business interests OF the country at last
the aid they have been soliciting. The
Government will no longer buy silver
only to pile 1t up in the Treasury vaults,
idle and useless, and pay out gold for It.
All this Is certain. But whether all
this will bring to the country at once
the benefits predicted and remove our
trade embarrassment on the instant is
a question that emains to be tested.
But obstruction is over, and silver
purchasing has stopped. Now let us
hope that business activity will be re-
stored, and hat If further measures
are needed to remove all our financial
embarrassments our statesmen will give
us better laws than the "cowardly
