An Unwfse Appointment.

The appointment of Gen Charles
Miller, of Franklin. Venango county,
to the command of the \. G.. p we sur
mise will not be received by those who
know anything Of the standing of the
guard at present and OF the military
ability of Gen. Miller. with the highest
favor. The appointment savors much
of the ability of Gov. Stone to drag the
appointments in the guard into the mire
of politics. Gen. Goblin intimates that
Miller is without military qualifications
or military experience. He has risen
into prominence as a military man by
his ducats accumulated in the oil trade.
Gen Snowden, the late commander,
was a democrat and a skilled military
man If he was to be turned down,
Gen Goblin, the senior brigadier. a
staunch Quaylte, but man of military
experience was entitled to the place.
He urged Snowden's reappointment ard
did not wish the position for himself II
his former comrade could be retained.
The appointment looks as though 1t
was dictated by Quay to assist Mr.
| Sibley in his congressional fight THIS
year, for he, like Quay, will need all the
assistance he can obtain. Mr.. Slbley
also expects the support of the machine
by reason of his efforts to induce the
democrats to support Quay for senator
Millers appointment certainly means
| that the commissions in the National
Guard are to be used for machine pur-
poses, and we predict that few anti
Quayites will be appointed while he Is
] in command
| This act of Gov. Stone is the beginning
of the Generalization of the corps and
will lead to the disintegration OIL ouI
efficient military organization, which
until the present time has been jealous

addition to the presents they carried,
came with well filled baskets and pre-
pared to spend an afternoon and even
ing. An organization was soon formed
by calling G. w. Cramer to the chair
and Miss Zetta BARLEY secretary.
After an address by the chairman and
others and thanks of Mr. Duerr, the
company retired to the dinner room, and
after invoking the blessing of Him who
had provided the bounteous repast. the
company proceeded TO enjoy the good
things prepared With social commun-
ion listening to graphone, and music
by Miss Lizzie and Mr.. Fred Wilkewitz,
the hours sped on golden wings, until
the company was compelled to separate.
With a CHEEKY good night and light
hearts all returned to their homes with
the recollection of a very happy day.

The Best Credit in the World

The credit of the United States il
higher to-day in all the markets of the
world than that of any other nation.
We have ceased to be debtor nation
and have become largely creditor.
The immense balance of trade in our
favor has made Europe our annual
debtor by hundreds of millions, and to
day our national bonds command higher
prices than the securities of any other
country.
We have had very pointed and posi-
tive illustration of the character OF our
notional credit in the recent award of an
English loan of 10000, 900. The sub
scriptions for the loan aggregated go,
900, 900, and the major part of the sub
scription must have come from the
United States, as e5, 600, 600, being more
than one-half the entire loaE, We're
awarded TO American subscribers.
This is a revolutionary departure IN the
financial attitude Of the United States
and places us IN the forefront OF the
credit nations Of the world.
The bonds of the United States yield
only from two and one-half per cent
down to as low as one and half per
cent to the holders, while the English
bonds, so largely taken by United Slater
bidders, yield over three and half PER
cent. There is an income tax on Eng
lish national securities, but it is repaid
to foreign holders of the bonds.
