The interesting news comes from Boston
that there is a strong movement from in
fluential sources in that city and vicinity
for the appointment of Col. Albert Clarke,
secretary of the Home Market club, as as
sistant secretary of the treasury under the
new administration. The movement was
started by Col Clarke's friends without his
knowledge. 1t is said that the Massachusetts,
delegation in Congress is united in his sup.
port, and have written letter to Mai
Mckinley recommending his appointment.
Col. Carkes long experience in public al
fairs and his familiarity with all questions
under the tariff, combined with his we'll
recognized ability and his high personal
character, fit him for this important place
in very unusual degree. Vermont will
count the honor partly her own if ii is ac-
corded to him.
William +. St. John, the former presi-
dent Of the Mercantile National bank of
New York, and one of the principal cham
pions in the East of the cause of free sill
yer, died at his residence in New York
Sunday evening. 1t is said that every
cause has its martyr and Mr.. st. John was
undoubtedly martyr to his belief in free
silver. He told friend before his death
that his health had been broken by his la
bors in the Bryan campaign. To the free
silver cause he gave the fullest possible
measure of devotion. First he sacrificed
his influence and standing among his col
leagues in the banking business. Then he
sacrificed his $4,000 a year salary as a
bank president in order to devote his
whole energies to the silver campaign
Out of his private purse he is said to have
contributed $40 900 to the expenses of the
election. Finally he sacrificed his health,
and the defeat of Bryan and his own hopes
ended in his speedy death at the age of 80
years. His friends had no doubt of the
sincerity of his convictions, but lamented
his misguided zeal.

Gen. Weyler's latest edict makes the cir

The last few weeks have witnessed the
collapse of the nail trust, the bolt and nut
trust, the steel billet trust, the steel beam
trust, the steel rail trust and the machine
bolt trust. This is fairly promising rate
of trust mortality for a single industry.
There remains in the iron and steel trade
only the Lake Superior iron ore trust, and
its collapse is expected any day.-Spring-
