Mm Got. Hill Bhould have a rousing meeting Bf at Cooper Union this ovenlng. no proposes Iw to address himself especially to the ropro- Ww eentalivos of Labor. t. The effect of tho Brooklyn Warehouse Trust on tho -wharves of that olty is Tory 1 similar to that of our protective laws on American shipping in gonoral, Tho business has gone elsowhoro.

Hewitt celebrated his nomination at iftir' the hands of tho County Democracy on Eat- rjjw urday by declaring his personal dislike for HI I President Cleveland. It is well-known that NE. be hates tho President. lie has beon heard Kfe to say that he would not voto for him. A JSBi Democratic) candidato for Mayor who is at Ara odds with tho National Administration is not If needed in New York at this time.

Perhaps ISr Mr. Hewitt's hostility to Mr. Cleveland has something to do with his anxiety to force a Ji; double ticket here. Thoro aro two good reasons for believing jl Mayor Hewitt's donial of tbe story that ho tjlj I said ho would bo compelled to eloso bis iron I wirks if the Mills Bill becamo a law and I raw material was admitted free of duty. In jj- tho first plnco tho Mills Bill docs not put iron on tbe free list.

In tho second place Mr. I Hewitt has always beon a strong advocato of 0 free ore and of the Tariff Iteform that is now 1 called "Preo Trade." Yet the men who jtj testify against Mr. Hewitt ore reputablo citizens. We regret to see that some of tho gentlemen fij of the County Democracy machine- who nominated Mr. Hewitt for Mayor last Satur-HbHHBMl day were disposed to excito prejudice against TRgkW Tammany Hall becauso of its machino-liko Wf methods in politics.

This is quit sad. Tarn. JMJAr many is a terrible old organization, but what about tho concern manipulated by Boss Poweb and his friend Mr. Cunningham? JH Bupposo wo bavo the record modo up and Um 3 presented to tho voters of Now York. Tho Vm merits of tbe two organizations would then bo better appreciated.

It is not surprising to bo rcmindod that in March last, when wheat was going lowor, Hi the Tribune said that tbo Democratic policy "offers tho only explanation." Now that JHIng saort crop and speculation havo advanced the price, tho samo adorable organ says that rnmrmJ tho additional price of tho loaf is tbo natu. Mj 1, rol consequence of the Democratic, Ao. It Hj i- is a good thing that tho proposed Btatuoto Hohace Giieklet is not yet set up in I'rint- iog.House Square. Even a bronze of Gbeclet vAVS would walk off his pedestal to "kick" at HHb such organ-grinding as the journal founded Hbk by him indulges in daily. BBS Tho decre requiring foreigners In Franoa HE to register and give a satisfactory account of HHf themselves and their intentions is causing imm cwMBoiton thna the authorities prob- sPaBXI'' ably anticipated.

In Paris thocfloct is particularly uncomfortable. Thoro is a larger rosidont alion population there, relatively, than in any other city in Europe. To annoy these pooplo in any way would bo bad policy from a businoss point of viow. Thoro is already talk of rescinding tbe ordor and doubts aro oxprossed as to its legality, it having been promulgated by tho Exocutlvo without the action of tho Legislature. The approaching Presidential eloctlon means a groat deal to both tho great parties.

Tho belief is general that tho Republican party cannot stand nnothor defeat that it cannot cxiBt without offices. It is hold, also, that if tho Democrats loso thoy will bo kopt out of power indefinitely. It may bo remarked, howover, that tho Democrats hold together very well under ndvorso circumstances. Thoy havo beon known to flourish in adversity. But while tho question is up it Is interesting to havo tho representative men of tho country discussing it under tho head of "Aftor tbo Election What The Would prints to-day a number of interviews with members of Congress representing both partios.

Thcso opinions aro frosh snd interesting. They should bo read. A MUGWUMP EEABON. Tho Committee- of 100 Indopondont Voters of Newton, Mass. glvo sovon good reasons for their support of Cleveland.

Tho last ono reads: Wo boliovo that tho Republican party ncods to bo beaten again for its own good." It certainly needs to bo bcaton again for tho good of tho country. Tho Republican policy of Taxation for a Surplus and a Tariff for Bountlos is a miserably bad ono. Tho Mugwump Committeemen havo gracefully gono a step further and havo said that tbo Democratio party needs to win again for Its own good. When a political party stands boldly up for a right principle, even at tho risk of losing on election, it certainly desorves encouragement from voters who placo country abovo party. However, if tho Independents choose to baso their action on a doslro to chastise tho Republican party for its sins and its hypocrisies, thoro is no occasion to qnarrol with them.

Their votes will bo neodod. THE MAHOFA0TUHE OF BOAEOITT. Tho "Trust" idea of limiting production to raiso prices is spreading fast. A convention of Kentucky tobacco-growers has just unanimously adopted a resolution recom-mondlng that no tobacco at all shall bo planted in this country in 1839, and that tho present crop shall bo withhold from the market until noxt Summer. Anothor convention will bo held on tho 15th of this month to elaborato tho scheme.

Tobacco-growors aro rather too widoly dis-tributod to permit a successful organization lorthts purpose-; but tho movemont brings out in a strongor light than usual tho essential ovil of this mothod of interfering with tho normal cost bt commodities. If all tho wbeat-growors were to combino and detor. mine not to raiso any whoat noxt yoarwo should havo a still moro potent Illustration of tho samo thing. Tho farmors havo precisely the same right to enter into a conspiracy of this kind against society that the sugar-rofinors or oil-mill owners havo. Let tho principle bo oxtondod to production of all kinds and society would stand pitted acalnBt itself, sinco ovory producer is a consumer.

Tho Trust abomination will eventually bo destroyed in this way if in no other; but it is a very expousivo euro and U10 presumption is that a bettor and spocdlor ono will bo found. REAL "TABIFF BOAEE." Tho Republican managers havo at last found a real tariff scare." But it is thoy who aro frightoncd at tho prospect of losing votes, and not tho workingmon who aro scared at tho prospect of having their taxes reduced. Tho prow th of tho tariff reform sentiment in tho West and Northwest has alarmed tho defonders of tho war taxes. They aro secrotly canvassing to find "how bad it is." Tho tariff reduction sentiments talkod for years by Senators Allison, Inoalls, Van Wick, Congressman Nelson and othor Republicans havo reflected a doop feeling among tho farmers of that locality. Tho Chicago doo-claration for surplus-Bpe ndlng, higher duties and freo whiskey gave shock to tho enlightened Republican sentiment of tho West.

The Senate- bill is tin attempt to stop the defection that is alarming tho leaders as to Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa. There may nt bo time to win any of theso States on this issuo for this olec-tion, but thoy aro certain to wheel into the Democratio column eventually. Tho wor tariff is coming down. If not re-formed now it will bo smashed hereafter for wo suppose- tbo pcoplo havo a right in this country to remove evils that resist mitigation. PATENT MOUET TRAPS, The sudden disappearauco of tho Spcoii.

38 Broadway, call to mind tho fact that tho fools in tho world aro a con-stant quantity. That pcoplo who are accredited sane cau bring tUomselvcs to bcliovo that any philanthropist will securo to all choosing to invest inordinate profits througn mysteri. ous means, is truly difficult to understand. It is entirely clear that if a man posscssos this power of multiplying capital be will not gratuitously distribute it among others who have no claim on him. Inouam'b method differed from that of Febddiamd Wabd in that he made hU victims partners, whereas the latter paid absurd rates of interest for borrowed money, which plan was also followed by Mrs.

Hows, of Boston. Yet all acted upon the some general principle. The Fidelity Bank officers In Cinoln-nail secured deposits by paying an interest on them whioh no institution doing a legitimate business could afford to pay. This was prima faeit evidenco of unsoundness, and still men of established morcantilo ability took no hoed of the plain warning and wero caught. Tho Ingham, Ward and nowe frauds wero of such a prepoetorous character that thoy speak for themselves.

Tho Fidelity case was less so, but it Illustrates the truth that tho offer of higher returns than tho market rato for monoy means nnsafo security. OUR mOHEST BFTRE8. Tho placing of tho last stones on tho spires of St Patrick's Cathedral completes a notable ornament to the city. It is tho finest structnro pf tho kind in this country. Its grand and graceful proportions constitute a feast to tho oyo which every ono is permitted to enjoy without monoy and without prico.

It is a notable virtuo of beautiful archi-tccturo that, whoever pays for it, riohand poor allko profit by it. It Is truo that tho wholo cdlfico could bo placed under tho domo of St. Peter's, and tho cross of St. Paul's would tower nbovo it. Its spires of 330 fcot do not roach as high as thoso of Cologne which aro S12, or that of St.

Stephen's which is 403, or that of Ant-worp which is 403, or others that might bo named. But it comes most promlnontly for. ward in tho work of supplying a deficiency which wo labor undor in this country, as compared with Europe. It is a sign that tho causo of architectural beauty and grandnoss is advancing with us, notwithstanding our ropntation for boing a practical and unsentimental pooplo. Tho projected now Episcopal Cathodral notes anothor Important stop in tho dcslrod direction.

SLAVES OF THE HEEDLE. Tho socond instalment of a young woman's experience and observations in tho clothing workshops of this olty, given in yostorday's Sdndax Would, contained a good many morals for thoso who havo a mind to draw them. As bearing on tho oconomio question now boforo tho country It is to bo noted that "Amorican labor," protected 07 por is working twolvo hours a day, soven days in tho wook, in vilo and wretched quartors. It is 1 arnlng from 30 to 70 coutB a day. Some-of it is living Ilcavon savo tho mark 1 on CO conts a wuok for food.

And whilo tho girls and women thus elavo for a pittance, thoir fathers and brothers wear shoddy clothing becauso foroign wool is taxed, tho farmers got but 25 cents for their wool and tho Government is collecting (35,. 000,000 that it does not ncod in taxos on wool and woollens. What humbug is tho Tariff fetich 1 The Evening J'o on Saturday remarked that an old member of tho Tammany Democracy, alluding to Mr. Hewitt's "Know-Nothing, ism," told: "I for ono will voto for Mr. Hewitt on that ground alone, and thero aro from flvo thousand to ton thousand men in tho organization who will do tbo samo." Will tho Evening Post give tho namo of this old Tammany Democrat? Docs ho really oxlst? Is not tho story a puro fiction? Did not tho solid Tammany organization enlist in a fight to tho death against tho Natlvo Amorican Party forty-five years ago, and ton years later against ita successor, tho Dark-Lantern Know-Nothing Party? Was it not mainly owing to Tammany's efforts that tho socret political organization which emphasized tho "principle" of Know-Nothiugism by murdoring foroign.

born citizons, burning orphan asylumB and sacking churches, as ovontually crushod out of existence, after brief triumph in Now York What folly to say that tho prejudices which thou excited Tammany's solid aud indignant opposition should now bo uphold by ten thousaud or fivo thousand Tammany Democrats, or oven by ono singlo member of that organization 1 Roferrlng again to tho forgory of Representative Cox's frank on abundloof unfrank. ablo documents, tho Tnoune cries; Who and whero is that forgor?" It begins to look as though ho might bo eocrctcd in tho Tribune ofllco. Tho packago of documents which so much is said about was a clunmy affair, tied with a string. Documents nro not usually sent out by committees in this Bhapo. Tho constant outcry of tho Tribune about this forged frank whilo tons of unfraukable campaign documents aro being sent broadcast through the land undor tho genuino franks of Senators Qdat, Goft, Ciiandleii, et n(.

shows conclusively that tho forged Cox frank was tho work of a Republican rascal who wished to lodgo a chargo against tho Democratio campaign managers. Tho forgor will probably bo found in tho 2ri'imn building. Mr. OnAwroitD'B story In tho Sondat Would of tho bloody vendetta between tho Hat-fields and McCoys, on tho West Virginia bordor, is completo as history and fresh as nows. When a remarkablo etato of affairs liko this is to bo investigated.

The Wobld docs not deal in second-hand yarns nor ancient history. The Wobld'b correspondent is tho only newspaper representative has over visltod that "dark and bloody ground and talked with and described tho survivors and promoters of this fond. It was a daring and dangerous errand, performed with great thoroughness and success, aud the truthful story Is indeod "-transer than fiction." Tbe Repablloin ComraltUe distributes Itj documents tttrouih tbe txpreas companies, Tribune. We know nothing of the processes of the Republican Committee, but we do know that we have received at Tra Wobld office hundreds of ooples of a Republican campaign document sent through tbe malls nnder the franks of Senators Qdat, Obamdlsb, Hawlei and Gorr. Tbe postal servlco has been shamelessly swindled by these men, and the New York Tribune dare not defend them.

It eases its conscience by charging She Democrats with brstog Mr, 1 Cox's frank in ordor to cheat tho Govern ment. Whatever fears wero entertained in Austria that tho Emperor William's visit to tho Czar lmpllod a leaning towards Russia havo been dispelled by his visit to Vienna. The young ruler has been satisfactorily offuslvo at tho Austrian capital and thero Is no longer any doubt as to the continued strength of tho central European alliance William seems to have created an unexpectedly good lm. prossion in Vienna and to havo demonstrated a faculty which has not horctoforo boon promlnontly claimed for him that of making hlmsolf personally agreeable Although thero is no general election at hand thero Is a sustained interest manifested in politics in Great Britain. Mr.

Gladstone will mako ono of his notablo speeches in Novombor in Birmingham. An effort will bo mado to rocord it by phonograph, in ordor that it may bo repented by that instrument to nudionces in various parts of tho United Kingdom. This is an interesting experiment so far as tho phonograph is concerned, but it is safo to say that tho printing press will aluays no much moro in tho work of disseminating speeches than the phonograph over will. Tub London roues seam to go from one absurdity to anotner In their (Torts to dUcover tbe White-chapel murderer. Starting out with tho theory that the perpetrator 01 the crimes la ao American, they have put on rubbers that he may not hear them approach and aro now training bloodhouads to track him.

Whether they will place rubber overshoes on the feet ot the hounds la not yet known, but It la understood that they are educating the animals by reading to them long accounts of the atrocities committed by Americans in various parts of tho world. They are also rousing the antagonism ot the doga agalnit everybody who wears a slouch hat and uses the verb "gasu." They are great men, those London bobbles. Tns fair of tbe Agricultural Society of Cold Spring, baa given to the world the assurance that tuo young women In that part of the country aro worthy of their grandmothers. Of the Cve prizes awarded for excellence In cooking only one went to a married woman. The best apple pie, tho best bread, tho best tea-blscult and the best butter wero all made by young damsels who have not yet approached matrimony.

This fact Is significant when It Is added to tbo teitlmony which comes from county fairs In other parts of tho State. There seems to bo a revival among unmarried women ot the old-fashioned ambition to excel as pie and bread makers. Let tho good work go on. Tns ntrNTiNO expeditions of the Imperial potentates of Europe are hardly sportsmanlike. William and Francis Josef have been riding about la carriages slaughtering game with as much ease as a small boy destroys grasshopper-.

Ot course, It Is as necessary lor a Continental King to hunt as It Is for a President ot the United States to go fishing now and then, lint tho Emperors of Oermany and Austria do not seem to rise to a true conception of honest sport. The kecent BKAtrrv snow at Spa resulted In a show ot temper, as was to havo been expected. When tbe prizes were announced the disappointed aspirants fell upon tbe successful candidates and scratched taod pounded them until they were glad to escape with their lives. If 'handsome la as handsome does" they were an extremely ugly crowd at Boa. Tns tobacco farmers of Kentucky suggest that no tobacco crop be planted In this country In 18S9.

It Is to be hoped that their attempt to beget practically a corner in tobacco will end In smoke and sot cabbage-amoko either. Enoland last week seized over one hundred thousand square miles of land In different parts of the world. Isn't It time for somebody to give that lion's tall another twist? PITH OF POLITICAL COMMENT. Tho Doston Herald (Ind.) pees a great Demo, cratlc light In the sky over this State and rejolcea exceedingly thereat, being on tbe aide of Tariff Iteform In the present political fight. "Tbe heather la afire all over the bills, "exclaims the Hernia; anil tho workingmen brush aside the specious sophl.trles which the advocates of false dortrluo weave to ensquro them." The article concludes as follows: The reports which tbe Democratio Congressmen bring from New York carry an assurance of victory, if tbe lesson Is taken to heart.

That lesson may be expressed In the direction, stand to your guns. The advocates of Tariff Reform have only to keep up the Ore of argument and exposure whlcn haa already wrought coutuslon In the ranka of tne enemy ami forced the Republican loaders to ohango front at tbo thickest ot tbe battle. Much wonder la expressed over Gen. Harrison's endurance as an orator, and considerable admiration has been called out by the candidate's ability to say fresh things every day. But the end la at band, according to the St.

Louis Post-Dispatch, which journal remarks; "Gen. Harrison is beginning to appreciate the feelings of the man who tackles his twentieth dally quail with ten more to eat before hlatask is finished. Dels repealing himself badly now." Annoyed by the Republican stock charge that the Democracy is under the control and direction of tbe Cobden Club In this campaign, the Chicago Tribune (Republican) opens out In this wise: The Cobden Clnb has never spent a cent ontsldo of Great lirltaln. It never had any surplus funds to spend. It Is a poor and begging Institution.

It has received money from the United States, but never seat any here. Intelligent readers cannot be Insulted by any euca stuff and nonsense, because they do not heed It. Here is a "straw" now that Is well authenticated una amounts to something. Says the Buffalo Courier; A straw taken at the lithographing establishment of CoBuck A Co. ytsterda- developed tbe following: Cle-eiand, Harrison, 85.

The result was quite a surprise sa the establishment heretofore has been considered strongly Republican. Some of ttie oldest men in the shop, who have been Republicans for from twelve to fourteen years, expressed their Intention this time of voting for giving as their reason that they had stuuied the tariff question In all Its aspects, and bad become convinced that a reform In the tariff waa necessary. A vicious phase of the wool tariff Is shown by the following Incident related by the San Francisco Alta: Mr. Wllllsm Dean, now deceassd, was for msny years a large Eastern manufacturer of woollen goods. Ho was summoned before th.

Tariff Commission a fewycars ago. To the opening remark of the Chairman, "Mr. Dean, you are a woollen manufacturer, I believe," the Irate old gentleman replied: No, I'm not. Tour Infernal tariff drove me oat of that business years ago, Mow I'm a shoddy manufacturer." All things even np in the end. Now the South, em Democrats are scoUIng because la some of the Southern States, notably Tennessee, th Prohlbl.

tlonlata are mazing gains at their expense. In an article on the political prospects in DllnoU the Providence Journal aayai It la something sew In National poltttos to near Illinois spoken of as a doubtful state. Dot there are observer who do not think It audacious to speak of It In that war; and It must be said that PPefce of reasonableness to their predictions. Tbe Pobllo N.t Admitted," rrt-n rhtta4lrUa Jn.l There appears to be no help for the hundred of poor workingmen dlaehsrged without warning by the Sugar Trust. Tola outrage la a pirate Uii'' yea know.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT. Borne week have gone by since the engagement of Mary Anderson to some English aristocrat was announced. Surely somebody's Imagination Is beginning to flag. In the law office of Senator Evart a son of Gen. Wm.

T. Sherman and a nephew of Stonewall Jackson occupy a desk together. And yet For-aker la still fighting. ThelTlnce of Wales took a Hungarian brass band with him when went bear-bunting In tbe mountain of Transylvania. He doubtless hoped to capture tbe bears by band ditty.

The Empress of Germany nnrscs ber baby. As the Utile one has been made a Colonel In a German regiment and already belongs to various Orders of Knuhthood, be Is worthy of his honor. The report tbst r. T. Barnum was unable to listen to Foraker's political tirade In Bridgeport la denied.

The fact was that Barnnm went away to bemoan the fact that be no longer poseeucs the greatest show on earth. Reen, tho Australia yacht builder. Is now In California, on his way to this city. Ho comes to study our yacht models, snd represents an Australian syndlcato which la anxious to build a boat which will beat our victorious sall-carrlers. There la a girls' boarding-school In this city In which every pupil possesses at lesat one photograph of Kyrle Bellew.

The maidens speak of him as "llellcw, the fair; Bellew, tho lovablo; Bellew, tbe charming Prlnco of Fslryland." Miss Lizzie Waller, only daughter of Consul-General Waller, la engaged to bo married to Prof. Appleby, of tbe Columbia School ot Mines, of this city. Miss Waller has been In Now London, since her return from England two year aito. Tbe news that tho Mikado of Japan has become addicted to alcohol while the Emperor of China la devoting most of lus time to opium-smoking la not satisfactory. Kalakaua la still playing poker with disastrous results to bis National Treasury.

Really those remote potentates seem to need the services of an all-round reformer. Josef Uofmann and Otto Hegnor are thrown Into tho shade as mtulosl prodigies by -Eotohalsky, a Russian four years of age, who can manipulate a piano with a precocious genius that Is almoBt supernatural There are rnmors that a baby three months old haa startled the Austrlana by making so much mualo at night In Vienna that even Kotcb-alaky Is no longer a marvel. But the Vienna youngster's range Is limited. He confines himself entirely to nocturnes. William T.

Coleman, of California, has been a patron of art. His ploturcs were sold in San Fran-Cisco last week. The prices paid wero extremely low. Thomas Hill's ''Bridal Veil Fall, Cathedral brought only $350. Other paintings by Callfornla artists brought from 100 to f300, whilo many valuable foreign pictures went for almost nothing.

Tho collection realized only $4,500, G. II. Thompson has purchased tho Coleman borne on Washington street, San Francisco, lor $40,000. JUSTJr-OR FUN. KVisMnofon CrHfc; What's the matter with a howling mob It'a all riot.

From th Eeranton (7U.) Truths Everybody who admires a brave, true man will rejoice to know that Mr. King-Hall, the courageous correspondent of the New York World who was stricken down with yellow fever at his post of duty la Jacksonville, is out ot danger. When tbe plague looked blackest and the panlo among the people of Florida was greatest Mr. King-Hall volunteered to go to the sceno of peril In the In. terest of the journal with which be la connected.

He worked untiringly and told the story of Jacksonville from day to day In a most graphlo and In. tercstlng manner until the pen dropped from his fingers under the touub of the plague. Then he was placed In the hospital and cared for until be mastered tbe disease. During bis severe Illness his case was watched with much Interest by hi brother Journalists tbroughont the country, who realized tho true heroism that Impelled a man In the lull enjoyment of health to quit the comforts and pleasures of life In New York for existence In fever-stricken Jacksonville because It was In the lino ot his devotion to duty. Within a few years journalism has contributed Its quota to the list of tho world's heroes.

Tbe nsmes of Stanley, McGahan, o'Donovan, Forbea will not aoon fade from the pages of history, snd that of King-Hall deserves a place In the list, for while bis under-taking bad less of the glamor of glory about It than any of the rest. It was an enterprise calling for quite as much courage, since the chances, at the time, seemed to be all agalnBt him. It Is a pleasure to know that Yellow Jack has not claimed this brave correspondent for one of his victims, and that there are heroes In tbe world to-day as brave as any that ever entered the Hats of old to win renown. The Iniquitous Trusts, IFrotn Sam rrantiteo Argonaut. Trusts are formed to control the price of com-modiues that ate necessary to the comfort of the worklngman.

7. At Boerne, thirty miles northwest of this city, lives Dr. J.J. Bayard. He was born In 1800, and Is an uncle to tbe present Beoretary of State.

Ho Urea In a little hut uullt by himself, consisting of a single room. On the west side Is a little round hole about a foot la diameter, covered with glsas.

WAsniNa-rox, Oct, 7, Senator Ransom's attention was to-day called to the following paragraph which' lately appeared In a special despatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer from New York: According to the story of Senator Matt" Itaaaem, ot North Carolina, a or. Hill will not be indorsed by President Cleveland In any suob letter as be wrot.

for Col, John H. Fellows wben the latter waa ronnln for District-Attorney of New York.

which la Oor, Hut's organ, it respectfully urged upon President Cleveland the n.ceaslty ot writlac auch a letter order to harmonize the warring lactlona of tbe party. Senator Ransom, who Is an admirer of Gor. Hill, aaya that, with Congressman W. h. Moott.

he flailed on President Cleveland four or five daya ago In the Interest 01 tb. Democratic National Committee, of wblon bets and the subject of writing auoh a letter waa dla-ensaed at length. The President objeoted to It, and, altuough Senator Ransom urged tt warmly. Mr. Clare-land could not be persuaded that It was the thin- b.

ought to do. Senator Ransom read the paragraph and then aid, laughingly: "I am alwaya sorry to spoil a good little story like this, but the fact Is there Is absolutely no truth In this statement. I bave neter ipokcn a word to the President with regard to Gov. Hill, or the advisability of his writing suoh a letter aa that here Indicated. I do not remember the last time I called upon the President In company with Mr.

Scott, but If I ever did It was a long time ago and long before this question was raised. I believe on the day I was last at the White House on business entirely foreign to this, by tho way Mr. Soott also called, though I did not see him. This may have furnished tno ground for this story. I have never thought It necessary to give mr views to the President on this subject- My humble private opinion la that In declining to take any hand In the matter ho Is panning a very wise course."
