the Cleveland administration and the

and bulldo2ing.
There might be sophistica excuse
ior tho Presidents employment OF M.

which he believes Just 3nd beneficial.
but there can he no shadow OF iustitica-
ton for his adopting like measures to
aid his personal rcIenges and to crush
his dangerous rivals. His repeated i'm.
mersion OF the Unted States supreme

to wound his dangerous enemy, David
B. Hill, was bad enough without having
added to it scandalo US misuse OF the
appointing power in order 10 cocrcs

The appointments to federal Office in
Missouri made on Monday are obviously

Yesterday morning it was announced
in the Associated Press newspapers that
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette and
certain other newspapers OF Importance
had cut loose from the decaying United
Press and would be served hereafter by
the Associated Press exclusively. The
Chicago manager OF the United Press
was quick to say that "thc announce
ment was probably made for. effect"
because his concern had no notice OF it.
The Cincinnati Comnlrcid! Gd:etic Of
yesterday gave notice in its own COL

reasonable presumption that the Com
mcrciGI Gazette knows enough 10 know
whether it has severed relations, and
why. Tho Associated Press is 4 moro

lore, and newspapers fortunate enough
to get its service have no need Of any

Female teachers nro rather proforrod

trouble is that our girls arc so pretty, 30

II appears from your statistics that
in some parts Of tho state, especially in

this Is not so. Whether this rrsults
from the uuattraCtivencss OF the women,
or tho want OF gNllantry in the men. or
their failure from natural dullncss TO

scheme.
Secretary Carlisle falls in too readily
with the Bland scheme to coin the sill.
yer seigniorage, and the bankers who
took the Sjo,00O,OOO loan complain of
his attitude on this vital question. In
fact it is suspected tina: he is the real
colored gentleman in the Bland wood
pile.
The secretary, at ali events, has not
raised his voice in behalf Of the gov
crnments faithful execution OF the
trust imposed upon it by the act OF
1890. He has never said that obedicnt-
ly to tho law he will hold the bullion
and the coined dollars in the treasury
as security to the holders OF the notes
issued against the bullion and the
dollars.
Ii he thinks he can draw on that trust
fund as occasion may require he takes
queer view OF the law for 4 lawyer and
he is laying up trouble for the treasury.
The proceeds OF his recent bond sale
will not sec his department through un-
til his hope OF larger revenues under
lower duties shall be realized. He may
have to 90 the country again Tor loan.
Ills recent experience should teach him
that it is not easy TO get s5O,OO0,OOO at
per cent, notwithstanding the super
abundance OF money.
He will look again to the bankers, and
.hcy will have something to say to the
secretary OF the treasury. They will
remind him that his loan was failure
almost up to the last moment, when he
came to the New York bankers with a
threat carrying with it as nh alternative
an implied promise. II they did not
take the loan they might geo the silver
selgniorage coined and used to help the
treasury out OF its hole. The implied
promise was that ii the treasury got the
money on the bonds the silver trust
fund would be let alone.
After this tho bankers and the coun-
try had right 10 suppose that the
treasury department would not cncour-
age any projects to increase the volume
OF deprecated currency and would not
be party to any other scheme to unsettlc
further the public confidence in the
monetary system Of the country. A re.
markabic feature of the whole thing is
that the secretary OF the treasury can
stand where he does on the silver ques-
ton with the President standing where
he stands or has stood, on that quea-
ton.
The President is not blind to what is
going on. He knew Mr.. CarIisle's sill
yer weakness when hc offered him the
treasury portfolio. Since then he ha.
discussed with him the money question
as its phases presented itself in the
markets and in Congress. Either the
President or tho grave responsibility OF
his 'poallion has held the secretary to 4
straight course. 1t is probable that
both have had their influence.
II now the secretary Of the treasury
BIO prepared to so in for coming and
spending the seigniora.c, there is aIdi-
tionAl occasion for apprehension, ior it
brings whit the sug cstiou OF 4 posi-
bility that Tor tho sake OF bridging over
bad place the PRECEDENT ia ready to
yield his -ound money convictions. The
country will not readily believe this, for
i: will not lightly give up its hope that
vicious monetary legislation may run
against veto.

Mckinley For Congress.

kinley's district are looking 10 him as
their candidate for Congress this year.
and Republicans throughout tho state
hope he will make the race. Repub.
licans everywhere will second the mo.
ton. II Governor Mckinley runs he
will be elected, and he will sit in Re-
publican house in which he would be i
conspicuous and most useful member.
Governor Mckinley can do his party,
his state and his country infinitely
more service in the house OF represent
a'iycs than as governor OF his state.
He has a grip on national affairs and on
the country. lie knows the right
thing to do at the right time, and the
people have unbounded confidence in
him.
Besides. he would be conveniently
located for the next step. It is only 4
little over mile OF pleasant walking
from the capitol to tho white house.
