AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT.

The long delay in appointing a sue
cessor to Mr.. Castle as postmaster at
st. Paul was ended yesterday, when
the president named ex-Mayor Robert
A. Smith for the place. 1t was worth
while, perhaps, that the delay should
have occurred, arising out Of the eager
struggle of many candidates for SO de-
sirable place, since it ended in an APP
pointment which will oe peculiarly sat
isfactory to all our people. 1t is for
this purpose that the president and
the postmaster general have % long
held aloof from final action; in On der
that they might It the same time Sc
cure the man from whom they could
expect high efficiency in the discharge
Of his official duties, and also consult
the wishes Of The Democratic pal ty
and of the business public IF the city
without regard to party. Thy have
made no mistake in their Iv;icy or
their selection Of a man to fill a most
important federal position.
1t is not necessary for US to commend
Mayor Smith to the people of COM
munity where he has lived so long and
received SO many public honors He
possesses all the requisite qualifications
for the position that has been con-
ferred upon him. He is a Democrat
of high and ancient party standing. He
has not accepted the gospel Of Pop
ulism, but stands by the tried and ira
ditional principles of the party, and
! has been doing effective work in as
slsting the canvass of the National
Democrats. He is a man of great
public popularity, and it would be
difficult to name any citizen whose ad-
Vancement would give as general salts
faction or awaken as little envy or
criticism. He is man Of business
training and habits, thoroughly IA
miliar with the methods and require
ments Of the public service, and the
efficiency of the department will suffer
nothing in the transfer to his hands.
1t will be easily evident to all the peo-
pie that, although there were many
candidates whose claims were worthy
of serious consideration, there was
none who combined as many Of the
qualifications as Mayor Smith; ard
none whose appointment would have
given. equal satisfaction, either to the
local Democracy or to the general pub
lie of st. Paul. 1t is due to the author
tiles at Washington to say that they
have given most careful thought to
this appointment, in order to ensure
the selection Of the best man. They
have consulted only the good of the
service and the wishes of the people
themselves. determined to make no err
ror and to act only when and as the
public interest might direct. They have
made what we are sure is in the peo-
pies opinion, as it is in ours, the best
appointment open to them; and we
congratulate them upon their decision.
and the people Of the city upon the
selection Of a postmaster who is as ac-
ceptable to them as a whole as he will
be faithful and efficient in the dis
charge Of his duties.

WHAT SENT WHEAT UPs

1t Is somewhat awkward, when a
fellow is trying to convince the voters
that the decrease in the price. say, of
wheat is merely a sympathetic decline
with silver, to have silver go down a
few cents an ounce and wheat go up
Is cents bushel simultaneously. And
so, as might be expected, the people
who account for everything by silver,
try to find some reason for this diverse
and wholly unorthodox movement Of
the two commodities We have a vari-
egated assortment of causes that indi-
Gates a painful confusion among the
expounders. One has 1t that Mark
Hanna has put five millions into wheat
so as to break down the silver move
ment by making farmers happy and
contented Another reconcile fellow
finds it in the fall in the premium on
gold in Argentine, while Chairman
the victories his party has won in
Arkansas and other Southern states.
A little news item that came over
the wires from San Francisco last week
is more trustworthy and reasonable
explanation why wheat went up and,
possibly, why silver went down. It
stated that two ships had cleared from
that port laden with. wheat consigned
to India, and that others were to fol-
low The explanation Of this carrying
Of coal to Newcastle, this sending
wheat to country that has been an
exporter for nearly ten years, is that
drouths have brought on a crop fail
ure in the table lands of India, and
that the Punjaub will not have enough
wheat to bread itself, let alone the pee
pie Of the lower country. Tnis means
large loss in the SS1pply at terminal
markets, anaa, as we see, a counter
demand on primary markets. This is
sufficient to account not only for the
rise but for a much larger one. But
so simple an explanation is not to be
thought of by politicians until after
the election. .f,,
