NOT ENOUGH TO GO ROUND.

According to an exchange, Governor
Tanner. of illinois. with fifteen offices to
dispose Of has $500 applicants for them.
This shows that there Is a large stock
of disappointment for place hunters in
that State, and the case IS about the
same in national affairs The civil SER
vice has been so extended during the
past few years that there are only a
small number of offices left for the dis
posal of the incoming administrator
Hence a large majority OF the great
army of seekers for government employ
ment are doomed to disappointment.
However, a movement is already on
foot to revise the civil service laws rs
early as possible after the Inauguration
of Mckinley.
The movement is said to be i'm the
hands OF some Of the leading Republic
cans OF the country and when the time
comes no one need be surprised If the
civil service law now in force is knocked
into the fire, in face of the fact that the
President-elect has declared that the
rules which now obtain should remain
In tact.

CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED.

The Pennsylvania furnace men, who
so long demanded duties on ore to pro-
tect them. az they claimed. from foreign
miners. are now demanding free ore that
they may have protection from Alaba ma
miners. In a word. they want the tariff
duty on iron ore repealed so that they
can avail themselves OF naturally cheap
er and convenient sources of supply for
their raw material. 1t was all very well
when they thought they had a monopoly
of the business. but since Alabama iron
has come into the market in such guam
titles, they have changed their tune.
These people only wanted protection
when II would be to their advantage. but
matters have changed, and they are now
shouting for less tariff.

"wHERE THE TROUBLE LlEs.o

According to Comptroller Eckles, that
while there Is no doubt OF the necessity
for changes in the Governments nnan-
cial policy, the public is disposed to at
tribute too much OF the existing trou-
bles to money legislation. The Comp
troller takes the ground that over trade,
reproduction and extravaganza in
private and public expenditures, partly
Induced by speculation, are largely re-
sponsible for the country's business
troubles. He believes. and so declares,
that the day has passed when the vol
ume of money is the most important fac
tor in the trade OF this country; that
improved facilities of transportation and
methods of exchange have greatly les
sened the Importance of a large volume
of money-improved credit is more i'm
portant. There is very much that Comp
troller Eckles says is true. but all tho
same there are vast number of people
in this country who are impressed with
the belief that the volume of money at
present is entirely inadequate for al
purposes of Governmental and private
use. and he will have to bring stronger
arguments to bear on the money uues-
ton than those yet urged by him before
he can convince those people to the con.
trary.

 The Westminster Gazette, in. an ar ticle commenting on the speech, says that the money for the proposed in- crease will be granted when it is proved that the country is getting the value of it's present expenditures, and the Evening News takes similar view of the subject.

THE OLD soDUs DITCH.
Possibility That It May be Put to
 Practical Use.

Clyde, N. Y, Oct 20-The old so- dus Ditch," also referred to locally as Adams Folly" which has lain in a state of innocuous desuetude for nearly half a century, is once more coming into public notice. This pro- jected waterway, designed to connect the Great Lakes with the Atlantic ocean, via the Erie canal and the Hudson river, starts at the lock one mile west of this village and extends north a dozen miles to Great Sodus bay. The canal project was conceiv- ed about the year 1S40 by General William H. Adams, resident ct Clyde, whose reputed wealth was in the neighborhood of $500, ,0O0. January g, 1S41, he organized company, se- cured a charter and commenced the work of excavation, which was car ried on, with irregular activity for a period of nearly twenty years. In that time the canal had been con- structed the entire distance Some portions of it were ten and twelve feet deep, and all of it was down to grade level, and received the drainage of siwamps and streams along the route In accomplishing so much Gene al Adams sunk his own fortune. and the fortunes of several others who were interested with him in carrying out the great undertaking. In 1859, on account of lack of further financial support, an effort to secure state aid having failed, the project was aban- dned. Through the failure of his net scheme the promoter died a broken hearted and we'll nigh penniless old man.
 Nothing has been done since to carry on the proJect to completion un- til within a few weeks, when Messrs. F. M. Chapman of Gilman, H., and B. H. Sherman of Macon, Mo-, came here in the interest of a western con- pany and surveyed the line of the old ditch for the purpose of collect ing data to bring before the deep water commission the coming win ter. If a government enterprisn Cf so great magnitude as connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic is to be undertaken, no doubt the route by the Great Sodus bal and Clyde canal to the Erie canal, being only a dozen miles in length and through a natural valley the whole distance, will receive careful consideration.
 The old mansion occupied by Gen. eral Adams in his palmy days is still standing in this village. It is situat- ed on West Genesee street, and while it is weather beaten to a considerable extent and rather out of style, it is nevertheless in fair state of prese-- vation and traces of it's former gran deur are still remaining. The wine cellars under the old house are as good as the day when built. The house is now the property of Hon Thomas Robinson and is used as the home of his farmer

COPPER IN WYOMING.
Valuable Discoveries Repor,e1 Ncrth
 of RaWlins.

RaWlinS, WyO., Oct. 20 There is considerable excitement among min ing men in this Hvifefnfi5y over the dis covery of a copper belt, situated about three miles northeast of the gold mines of the Seminoe mining district and some forty miles north of here. Up to the present time two shafts have been sunk to a depth of forty feet, exposing a four-foot vein of copper ore, in which is a pay streak from fourteen to twenty inches, averaging 50 per cent copper and small amount of gold. The formation of the coun- try is granite, prophyry and lime. An old abandoned shaft over 200 feet deep was also discovered near by with several abandoned and ruined cabins and mining implements, which would indicate that the miners had been driven off by the Indians or massacred long before the settlement of the country.
 Work is quietly progressing in the Seminoe gold mines, and the owners of the several properties report that the results of the seasons work are perfectly satisfactory. The prelimi- nary surveys have been made for a railroad from some point on the line of the Union Pacific to the Sem:noe mines, and active work on the grades will soon be commenced. It is the intention of the capitalists interested in the enterprise to utilize the great coal and iron deposits in the Seminoe mountains by the erection of furnaces for the manufacture of pig iron, etc. The road will be extended north to take in the great ssoda deposits that are known to exist there and also the rich gold fields of Fremont county.
 MT. B. A. Greene, the New York capitalist, who purchased the Oregon Butte placer property one year ago, has just returned east after making arrangements in regard to future op- erations on the property.

THREE HUNDRED INDICTMENTS Found Against a Wheeling Liquor
 Seller.

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct 2O.-The Marshall county grand jury, which completed it's labors today, broke the record in the matter of liquor indict- ments. Michael Callahan, who con- ducted a saloon near this city, sold liquor without a state or county li- cense. Today the grand jury found 300 indictments against him. All were based upon the testimony of one man, who said he had bought drink from Callahan every day for a year. If Callahan pays the fines and costs he will be over $6,00O out of pocket.
 This is the largest number of in- dictments ever brought against one man in a state court in West Vir- ginia.
