The Governor incidentally alluded to the report of a quarrel between him and Mr. Hendricks, saying that they did not, in their conversation, discuss politics, aud that two men never parted more pleasantly. This Congressman drew from his conversation with Cleveland that the latter has not yet made up his mind with regard to a single Cabinet appointment. He is deferring these matters until he retires from the Governorship.

I cannot help wondering sometimes whether the papers which are so busy in forming my Cabinet for me really believe that I have nothing to do in my present office that I should spend my whole time in speculating upon what I will do in the office I am to hold next. As a matter of fact, I have business connected with the Governor's office which by giving a few hours to it every evening I hope to finish during my term and which demands all my attention.

The national bank circulation is diminishing at the rate of from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 a year, and by 1891 will be reduced to or, it may be, to less. Our Government currency, on the contrary, has increased in coin and coin certificates alone during the past six years $334,000,000, or at the rate of over $55,000,000 a year. The working of the Bland-Allison bill adds $28,000,000 a year, and the coinage of gold as much more.

The same may be said of the coinage of silver dollars. Every attempt to check or to suspend it has hitherto been abortive. The West almost unanimously favors it and will support it to theiast. As to the danger that the withdrawal of bank circulation may cause a monetary stringency, concerning which so much solicitude has been expressed in various quarters, it need only be remarked that the coinage of gold and silver alone will more than rill any vacuum thus occasioned. Whether the coin goes into circulation as coin or as Government receipts for coin deliverable on demand is immaterial.

There is sure to be circulating medium enough for the needs of the community. At the worst, supposing the amount of it to be reduced by an unusual foreign demand exceeding the product of our mines, we shall have always, as we bad during the war, the resource of legal tender notes, especially since the issue of them has been declared by the Supreme Court to be a constitutional exercise of Government power. We shall always do well to remember that the natural forces arc often stranger than legislation, and that the common sense of events constantly sets aside tha transcendental reasonings of theorists and philosophers.
