Editors Not wanted.

The Washington Post says: The assertion
that editors are not generally to be recognized
by the new administration Is true. Mr..
Cleveland believes that his predecessor suf-
fered through the charge OF having subsi-
died the press, and he does not intend to run
the same gauntlet. The decision is also to
be made applicable TO newspaper men who
desire to be postmasters in their towns.
Mr.. Bissell has had the names OF some
country editors presented to him in connection
with various postofiices, but has uniformly
declined TO give any encouragement to the
Office seeker. He lays down the principle
that In small towns the utterances of the
newspaper over which the Reconsideration
presldes will be regarded the views of the
administration, while. on the other hand, all
praise OF Mr. Cleyeland's acts will be dis
counted because 1t emanatcs from the recip-
lent OF official favor. Therefore Mr.. Bissell
does not propose to appoint any editors to
postmasterships, and the President will OBJ
serve the same rule in disposing Of the higher
offices

Against tn. Pension Laws.

A movement against the e5ist.ng pension
laws has been started among the old soldiers
of New York. Noah L. Farnham post, q. A.
r., after lengthy debate on the question of
the pension system, has adopted resolutions
setting forth that the only veterans entitled
to pensions are those who by reason of
wounds or disabilities incurred in the service
of the country, are prevented from earning
living, and whose circumstances Justify them
in calling upon the country for support, and
declaring that any old soldier or sailor who
applies for or accepts pension, except under
these conditions is guilty OF conduct calcu-
lated TO lnjure the good men that are willing
to give their lives to their country without
any reward, save the approval of their own
conscience and that honorable fame that is
due to every patriot.
II WAS also resolved that copy of the reso-
lutious he sent to the President of the United
States, TO the United States senators from
New York and to the representatives in Con-
gress from New York city, ard all posts in
the q. A. Il. were requested to take similar
action.

PLENTY OF GOLD.
The Bankers Rapidly Coming to the Re
lief of the Government.

A Washington dispatch OF the 1lth says:
The treasury situation continues to Improve
from day To day, and from this time on, the
treasury department will be In position tc
take more advantageous offers of gold only.
To-day offers of Sl00. 900 IN gold were received
from Pittsburg and 100000 from Peoria.
The demand from Chicago for small notes
continues and this morning hen some bank.
ers In Ohio had offered gold for notes and
some delay took place in the transfer, the de.
livery was deferred for few days and the
small notes sent to Chicago.
The numerous offers OF gold from out-of-
the-way places caused Secretary Carlisle this
morning to notify all interested parties
through the Associated Press that gold coin
can be received only at the sub-treasury Offices
in exchange for notes" In other words the
government will not pay The expense of send
ing money by express to individuals The
sub-treasury cities are New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati. Chicago,
st. Louis, New Orleans and Ssn Fran cisco.
Treasurer Sebecker received telegram
from the assistant treasurer at New York
stating that no gold was exported to-day
from New York and the probability was that
more would be taken out next week.
The ten-days statement issued to-day by
the treasurer shows the free gold balance 10
be sa,5oo,0oo. Acccptsnces of gold have
been made, but which do not yet appear in
the account, which brings this balance up to
more than 81, $50 900.

WASHINGTON, Aug For the first

silver law the treasury last month failed
to buy the full quota of 81, 500 900 ounces

2,3s4OOO ounces leaving a shortage of
2,ll6mO ounces. The two Populist mem.

had an interview with Secretary Carlisle
and Acting Mint Director Preston. They
were in Preston room at the time he re-
Jected all the days offers of silver and
made the counter offer of 50 1880 per ounce
Both of them we're much concerned abou:
what they claimed was an effort of the
treasury department to "bear" the price OF
silver in the markets of the world. The
silver men indicate a purpose to precipi-
tate silver discussion on the first work.
