sus Bureau is being overwhelmed with
applications for clerical appointments,
although it will be many months before

stand at the beginning that it will be
waste OF time to put in applications that
are not endorsed bv either Senator or
Representative, because no appoint
ments will be made from outside of the
District Of Columbia without such en-
dorsement. The appointments are to
be apportioned as far as possible among
the states, and when the quota of
state has been determined upon, the
Senators and Representatives from that
state will be allowed to name them.
with the understanding that no persons
named will be appointed if they fail to
pass the examination prescribed by the
Bureau.
The opinion is growing, now that it
has become certain that Aguinaldo's
alleged peace negotiations were nothing
more than ruse to gain time to pre-
pare for further fighting, that the stay
ing qualities of the Filipinos have been
underestimate, and that there is
bound to be much more fighting before
they are permanently conquered. We
whip them constantly, but they contin-
lie to fight. Adjutant General Corbin
says he is confident, however, that
when Gen. Otis gets the Reinforcement
it has been arranged to send him,
which will give him a total of 30 900
men. he will have all the men he will
need.
The difference between Cleveland
times and Mckinley times is strongly
accentuated by the fact that Uncle
Sans supply of gold is getting go large
that he can hardly handle 1t, and he
has been compelled to stop exchanging
notes for gold. L. S. Treasurer Roberts
said on this subject: I've have, TODAY,
about 1886, 0O0, 900 in gold and our vaults
are almost OVERLOOKING The Chicago
sub-Treasury cannot receive more gold,
as its vaults are full" Treasurer Rob
erts has issued an Interesting state

Dinglev law, has been signed by repre-
sentatiyes of this government, and of

Mr.. John Il. Mclean, who lives in
Washington, but claims a residence in
Ohio, for political purposes. is prepar-
ing to spend some of the millions he
has accumulated through his corpora
ton investments, to buy the empty
honor of second place on the democrat
ic ticket with Bryan. A portion of the
money will be spent in establishing
Mclean silver daily newspaper in
Washington. According to present I'M
derstanding, this paper will be for
Bryan, Mclean and free silver, but it is
predicted IN Washington that should
the movement to prevent Bryan's nom
lnation get strong enough TO promise
success, it will join it and push Mclean
for the head of the ticket Impecun-
eous democrats will doubtless do all
they can to increase Mr.. McLean's am
bition IN this direction, as he is known
not only TO have the money but to be
willing to spend ii for anything he
wants, spirit which they found en-
tireIy lacking in Mr.. Bryans millionaire
running mate of '96.
Senator Foraker Leither looks nor
talks like the disgruntlcd man the dem
ocrats are representing him to be. On
the contrary, he looks like a man who

and says the Ohio republicans are har-
monlously supporting the ticket, and
that all the differences there were ceas-
ed to exist when the nominations were
made.
