How Cleveland win FIJI omces.

From the Washington Post
Mr.. Cleveland Of to day is not the Mr..
Cleveland of eight years ago He is
less of a novice in national politics than
he was then. The number of his
personal acquaintances has been widely
extended. His knowledge of the DO
litical conditions in the various States
is u ore thorough, and he proposes, the
Post learns from reliable source, to
utilize this additional information in a
manner that will be by no means pleas
ing TO party men in Congress during the
next four years.
Democratic Senators and Representa-.
tives are not ag ain to have absolute con-
troll OF official patronage in their States
Recommendations sent to tho White
Honso by private citizens who are known
TO the President or by Democrats hold
ing State Offices will have as much
weight with the President as the ind orse.
ments of United States Senators and
personalities in Congress.
That this will be the policy Of the
President in selecting district attorneys
federal marshals and pos tmasters is
already we'll understood by certain
Democrats not in Official life who enioy
the Presidents confidence, and some OF
tho appoint ments that will go to the
u.
clearly disclose Mr.. Clcveland's inten.
lions.
For example, both Democratic Sena-
tors from Western State have within
the past few days made formal protest
against the appointment Of one Of their
constituents to an important office, but
the recommendation of an ex governor
OF that State is sufficient TO overcome
the Senatorial protest, and the Western
man in question will be appointed TO
the Office he seeks. The fate Of this
nomination will be watched with in.
terest when it reaches the Senate for
confirmation, for the two Senators who
made the protest may make it a test
case to determine whether or not Mr..
Cleveland's policy Shall DO upheld
1t is not to be understood that the
President desires to antagoniz, Senators
and members. On the contrary, he
wishes their support and co operation
throughout his administration and will
eDdeavor to meet their wishes whenever
possible. But he refuses 70 subscribe to
the theory that the naming of men for
non legislative Offices belongs TO them
by vested or acquired right, or that
they should be tho sole Judges of the
fitness Of applicants.

AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
William II. C"nncrty Cuts His Throat
with "A Razor.

WIN "A Razor.
About noon yesterday William H.
Conner'y attempted TO commit suicid @
by cutting his throat with razor at his
boarding house, 500 Patton avenue.
Connerty had bee n engaged as bar
keeper at Marshall's cafe but hard
drin. ing caused him to lose his position
about TWO weeks ago, and since that
time he has been on Il protracted spree @.
He attem pied to shave himself when
suddenly no drew the razor across his
throat and inflicted the wound, which is
about two and one. half inches long and
one inch deep. DR.. Harrison was sum
moned and sewed the wound up. He
stated that the cut was not of dan
gerous nature and with proper treatment
the patient would be all right in few
days.
Connerty will be removed to the Home
for the Sick day. About three years
ago his brother, who was then residing
in Richmond, committed suicide by
cutting his throat Strong drink was tn q
reason assigned for the act.

Fine Chickens Poisoned.

Frank Ray, residing on Gilmer ave-
nue. n. O., has had fifteen fine leghorn
chickens poisoned during the past week.
The poison was administered to the
fowls III Mr.. Rays yard, as the fence
was so constructed that they were un-
able to fly over, or to even get off the
premises. An examination showed tb at
the chickens had been fed wheat,
mixed with some unknown poisonous
substance. Mr.. Ray has suspicion
directed toward certain parties, and
CONSTITUTES the act as not only to iniure
and destroy property, but TO poison
himself and family.

ROANOKE, VA, MARCH 10, 1893.
THE STATE OF TRADE.

Bradstreet's report says: The general
trend of prices is downward, whiske ely
selling lower at Cincinnati and Louis.
Vile, pig iron sales pointing to shaded
prices at the former city, hogs selling
SC. and 1Oc. lower per cwt. at Kansas
City and Omaha, oats going off &c. at
the exchanges, pork CSC. per barrel and
lard &c. per pound, even sugar making
a concession of 1-32c. Cotton has been
down sc. on prolongation of English
strike and liquidation of holders who
felt the squeeze in money, but later in
the week it recovered &c. due to pur-
chases on speculative account. Wheat
shows a small gain, &c; corn is no
worse off. lum Der tends higher at Boston
and petroleum at Philadelphia, while
Pittsburg holders of steel billets ask
higher prices for nearby delivery, but
with few sales at advances.
Foreign trade in the United States for
seven months ended January 81 was 5
per cent. less in value than in like
portion of 1S01-92, owing to decrease
in the value of exports amounting to
nearly 90 per cent, while importations,
both free and dutiable. increased only
Is per cent. The latter increases were
nearly nil of staples, raw or manufac-
tured materials. The falling off in
values of domestic exports is more than
accounted for by decreases in values of
bread stuffs, cotton and other agricul-
tural produce sent abroad.
Liquidation in the stock market is
temporarily com pleted, and speculation
exhibits waiting disposition, the
short interest created on the decline
affording material for slight improve
ment in values at the close of the week.
This movement is encouraged by the
easier tone of the call-loan market.
which is adjusting itself to narrower
supplies and lower prices. Bonds are
dull and neglected, corporations and in
vestors being able to use money to ad.
vantage in the market. Foreign ex-
change has regained strength after the
stagnation and low rates caused by the
inability of importers to borrow money
to advantage.
Bank clearings in the United States
aggregate SLIPS, 900, 600, per cent less
than in the proceeding week but 2 per
cent. more than in the CORES poncing
week last year. Failures in business
throughout the country number 22l
during seven days ending March 16, as
compared with 1870 the week oeforo, 2IQ
in the week a year ago, and 179 two
years ago.
The surprising strength OF the price
of wheat in the face OF the most bearish
statistical position ever reported at
like season OF the year is tribute to the
ability of the bull clique at Chicago,
aided by the enormous short interest
there. Stocks OF wheat available here
and abroad leave no doubt that the
worlds reserves on July next will he
heavy. The United States is evidently
able to export G, 900, 900 bushels OF wheat
each week, -four included, for the re-
mainder of the crop year il required,
whereas the average weekly exports are
hardly more than 100000 bushels.
This week the total sent abroad (both
coasts) is assoc bushels, compared
with 100000 bushels last week, with
2.s1s,00 in the week a year ago, and
2,733 900 bushels two years ago.
