Qualifications For Postmasters.
From the New York Post Ond).

To appoint a negro as postmaster in
place where the people who patronize the
office object to colored officials is as great
a mistake as it would be to name China
man for such position in city like San
Francisco. The man selected as -postmas-
ter i'm any place should be the man who is
obviously best fitted to serve the commu-
nifty in that capacity to its satisfaction. If
any aspirant for the pace is offensive to
most 'of those who send and receive let
ters, that fact should be conclusive
against consideration of his name, wheth-
er the objection be to his age, his color,
his temper, his habits, his race, or any
other quality. congenital or acquired.

Chairman Jones Of the democratic ma
tional committee continues cheerful, and
as hopeful as ever. He said in an inter-
view in Chicago the other day that he re-
garded the forces Of silver as being strong
er now than ever before, and that people
who were against silver last fall are now
1iocking to the silver standard. This does
not look much like the New York Her

was getting tired of the silver issue was

Fitzhugh Lee has not returned to Ha-
vana, and viii probably not do so until
the latter part of the present month. He
is in Virginia, taking things easy and
watching the drift of local politics. He
says he does not expect to remain in
Havana a great while, as the President
will probably select some republican for
the place. Gen. Lee still harbors the de-
sire to go to the federal Senate, and is
said to be arranging matters for a cam
paign to succeed Senator Martin.

How to Increase the Revenue.
Memphis Commercial Appeal Dem).

The Dingley bill is a splendid deficit pro-
Queer, and the only hope of the republican
party is the internal revenue department.
If the people of the United States will for
get their party differences and unite in a
patriotic determination to drink more
whisky, the deficit may be cured. If they
will double their allowance of whisky per
day the increase of internal revenue will
be sufficient to wipe out the deficit caused
by the Dingley bill. We are confronted

Cotton is not being pushed upon the
market 1t is in demand. Hence the price
is advancing.
The impression has been, and stll is
quite general among cotton men that the
price is much below what 1t ought to be-
and il would not be surprising if middling
cotton commanded seven cents before
Dec. l. The cotton growers however, must
be their own judges as to whether it is
wiser 10 hold cotton than to sell it at
once. We recall that at the begin
ming of the season the belief was that the
price of cotton would rise. When it fell
there was surprise, because, as far as the
most astute observers could see, the pre-
yaning conditions favored a rise.
1t looks now as if the spinners have be
gun 20 think they have delayed long
enough in getting their supply of cotton.
They don't regard it as probable that the
price will go any lower. We may reasona-
bly, expect therefore TO see a considerable
advance in it.
Opinions differ as to the size of the
crop. The reports, however, favor those
who predicted that the crop would not be
nearly so large as it was thought. in the
early part of the season, it would be- The
farmers keep pretty well posted now-a-

silver at Two to One.

In Monterey, Mexico, a big smelling con-
Germ has notified all its workmen that in
future they will be paid in silver instead
of gold. at the rate of two Mexican sill

sents a practical solution of the silver

Arthur S. Melchoir. the rich bachelor and

feel much better now that he has won
his breach of promise suit against Louise
M. Dinghy Hadley. He sued for $25, 900.

badly. She married another man without
informing Melchoir that she had changed
her mind. Still, most men would not have
made scandal about the matter.

1t does seem a little odd that down in
Costa Rica. where the farmers and the
laboring element have been enjoying the
blessings of a silver standard, the afore-
said farmers and laboring element should
be so much in favor of the adoption of
the gold standard that they have made a
popular idol of the man who has changed
the standard from silver to gold. The adj
vices are that lglesias, the gold-bug, has
declared himself dictator of the country
in order TO preserve the peace, maintain
the higher standard of the currency and
please the country people. The statement
seems to run counter to the stock asser-
tons of certain silver advocates in this
country.

There is a new disease. It has been dis
covered and classified by an eminent
French physician. 1t is a kind of vertigo,
and for purposes of specification is called
"theater sickness" According to the dis
coverer, it affects the sexes differently.
When it attacks men, says the French doc
tor, they become oblivious to all consid-
erations of locality, and put their heads
between their knees" Now, everyone
must admit that that is a very distressing
symptom, but it is not nearly so bad as
the symptom exhibited in the case of wo-
men. They, according to our authority,
feel an inclination to recline with their
feet at an acute angle above their heads,
so acute is the vertigo" What a distress
ing sight it would be to see whole thea
ter full of matinee girls suffering from
"theater sickness in q severe form!

INDIANA BUILDING AND LOAN
ASSOCIATIONS.

There is nothing alarming in the statis-
tics of the state auditor relative to building
and loan associations. There has been
falling off in the aggregate. but it has been
very small when the agitation respecting
these institutions is recalled. The exposure
of few recklessly mismahaged institutions
naturally aroused suspicion, which has, for
the time, checked the increase of subscrib-
ers The truth is the building and loan as
ISOLATION had, in some instances, been di-
yerted from its original design, which may
be said to be that of a savings institution.
Men organized them as a business for the
sake of salaries and compensation
for services. Such organizations were
however, the exception. 1t may be added
that exceptions We're never more rare. Most
of the associations are strong Not many
financial institutions could stand the as
sault made upon the Union National for
the purpose of wrecking it under the guise
OF receivership.
The building and loan association is one Of
the most important financial organizations
in the State. AT the close of the fiscal year
s37 ,e61 shares were in force. Their ASS IS are
$5f,bZ4 4lo. Inelr loans on mortgage Secu-
rity are $50, 1S7,O55. The receipts during the

commissioner in an Eastern State it would
be regarded as a favorable showing.

Omitted correspondence.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 19.-The secretary
of state to-day called attention to the omis-
sion from the Boring sea correspondence be-
tween Canada and the United States, which
telegraphed from Washington Friday
last of a memorandum concerning propo-
delegates and requested it's transmission.
The proposition, which is taken from Ca
madam copy of the proceedings, is as fol-
lows:
Eat a conference with Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
Sir Louis Davies and Mr.. Adams, of the
British embassy, on Nov 16 last, Mr.. Foster
proposed:
'First-That the governments of Great
Britain and the United States agree at cnce
to a moduS vivendi, providing for a COM
plete suspension of the killing of seals in

ring sea for one year from December, 1897,
and for suspension of all killing of seals
on the PribyloH islands for the same period.
"Second-That the British ambassador
and one or more representatives of the
Canadian government, on the one part, and
such representative or representatives as
may be designated by the President of the
United States OH the other part shall, with
as little delay as possible, take up for con-
sideration, with a view of settlement, by
means of treaty stipulation, the fur seal
question, the protection of fish in the
waters of rivers and lakes contiguous to
the United States and Canada, the subject
of reciprocal emigration, commercial reci-
procity or any other unsettled question be-
tween the United States and Canada which

to bring forward
