GAGE HEADED OFF.

Standard Oil Gage sent to tho senate
an urgent demand that the deficiency

the Standard Oil bank in New York os-
tensibly for rent of the old customs
house in New York which the bank has
purchased. Bet the senate committee
refused to even report the item. Sen.

books of the bank. The United

interest at and per cent, while
the bank continues 10 use the three
million and odd dollers, which they
loan at higher rates of interest. I
cannot see why the government
should add futher to the profit of

It is we'll that there are persons in
the senate who are watching the treas
ury looters and protecting the United
States treasury. Here is an item which
it is proposed should be stolen from the
people to enrich the Standard Oil
crowd. The bandits in the cabinet need
watching all the while. Senator Petit

ing their nefarious schemes, and the
people owe him debt of gratitude.

Heaven knows how!-to permit the
Secretary of the Treasury to sell the
United States Custom House property
in the City of New York. The sale was
not to be for less than three millions.
As the property was worth five millions,
no harm could come to the buyer from
the limitation. Gage, July 2 last, sold
the property to the Standard Oil Bank.
The price settled on was So, 1885, ,OOO
The deed was made out. Stillman, of
the bank, placed in Cages hand the
banks check for $3,2s5, ,ooo-this was
$40, 900 less than the sale-fgure. Then

for deposit with the bank. Also Gage
at once rented for the use of the Gov

Standard Oil Bank rental of $3.50, 900

villainy has stood for six months. The
Standard Oil Bank buys five millions of

Hannas administration went a long
way off it's course in discussing the
relative positions of Dewey and Miles
at the Presidents New Years reception
and deciding to give the army and its
general precedence. The American
people, as rule, care little for etiquette
or rank, and are apt not to give the
niceties of official ceremony much con
sideration Nor would The Verdict
trouble it's head much about White
House annoyances in these matters,
we're it not that in this case the Admin
istration again shows it's animosity to-
wards and fear of the man the nation
has honored. Custom has usually given
precedence to the army in any process
sion or function, accepting, however
the fact of equality of relative rank.
In the case of Dewey the nation has
given him special rank, higher than
exists in any other man, either in the
army or the navy. And it bestowed
this high rank that ne may ENJOY the
privileges attached to it. The only
conceivable reason that the Hanna ad-
ministration strained so hard to have
Miles precede Dewey at the New Years
reception was that it might have another
opportunity to wound the man who
might be selected by the universal
voice of the people as the President of
the country. The nation has had
enough of these attacks on Dewey, most
of them started by persons in official
positions in Washington. such as the
stories about his disposition of the house
which an admiring public gave him,
