OvRr Washington dispatches announce that Judge Doanc will dispense the post- office patronage in this congressional district. The judge says he has re- ceived no official notice to that effect, but the office seekers have begun to make life a burden to him. Defeat at the election was enough. The judge does not deserve this second misfortune THERE is no substantial reason why T:aae Pusey Gray should be vidieuled epting the position of minister He was a candidate for the office of vice president, but the job that has now been tendered him is worth about twice as much as that which Mr. & venson has secured.

It considers his elevation to the position a blunde in conflict with both demoeratic principle and public policy, and undoubtedly in this it reflects the view of the president.

It shows unmistakably that a majority of the demoerats in the senate are favorable to the free coinage of silver, and it pl senate usi says has sen- senate ites, dec the senate significant inly propose to sur- render that position at the desive of Mr. Clevelana. The attitude of the dent toward silver undoubtedly fully discussed before the demo- cratic members of the committee werc decided upon, that the was in effect an announcement to the ad- ministration that the democrats of the senate would not be controlled in this matter by its views or wishes. As there is every reason to believe that the coin- age committee of the next house will have & majority of free silverites the failure of the president's financial pol- icy, so far as silver is concerned, seems to be inevitable. It is obvious, therefore, that Mr Cleveland will be compelled to make some sort of compromise with his party in congress, and it would appear tha in administration i cles to be inevitable, It 1is re ported that Secretary Car paring financial propositions to be sub- mitted to congress intended to effect an agreement between congress and the ex- ecutive on the financial problem.

THE POLICY R The polic ARDING PATRO] ; which Mr. Cleveland has announced 1 ding the disposition of the public offices has not veceived the unanimous approval of his party. The decision that as a rule former oflice holders would not be eonsidered for ap- pointment during the present presiden- tial term has somewha stronger feeling than that of disappoint- ment among those w0 have been faith- ful to the demoe during the lest four in’ the hope that their zeal and fidelity would be rewarded 1o0n their party was again victorious. The old office holders were not only true to the pavty, but they were also the most earnest Cle land men, and quite naturally they can- not see the propriety or the justice of being exeluded from consideration when they have been loyal hoth to the causc and to the leader. They look upon the decision of the president to do thisas a piece of ingratitude, as well as bad poli- tics, and they are not atall comforted by the idea that there should ba rota tion in office and that it is unwise to es- tablish an office-holding dynasty. They reason that if this principle sound what of eivil vice reform, which, if to its fullest extent, establishing an office-holding dynasty.

Chicago puckers © been able to ship their goods to Portland and other points on the northwestern coast at a rate as low as t conceded to Omaha. Thein- justice of this discrimination is apparent when it is remembered that the haul is 500 miles longer from Chicago. Tt is tifying to learn that the protosts of the South Omaha packers have finally proved effective and that their demands have led to. The rate now nted gives the local shippers of pac ing house products a decided advantage and it is to be expected that their Pacific ast trade will be materially increased in consequence. The new tariff also con- g on other goods than sducts, and the jobbers of Omahi who have boen uec somethin packing house p and manufacturer a northwestern trade will gain by it. It wogld seem as if no argument could be needed to proye that any discrimina- tion 1n freight rates by which Omaha is placed at a disadvantage in competing with Chicago o other trade centers is not a wise policy for the railroad com- panies. Their imerest lies in the deve opment of trade &nd the increased vol- ume of freight traffic that must vesult from dévelopment. It may be urged that thé trade interests of this city must increasein any event, and that transportation must be had at any cost, but it would be faund that the develop- ment of trade and the in the volume of freight traffic would be much more rapid df the railroad companics il seek to encourage the manufac- turer and jobber' by putting freight vates down to the iowest figures consistent with fair and reasonable profits. cedes sueh growth Wi FOREIGN INTE The advocates of ERENCE IN IAWAIL Hawaiian annexa- tion profess to b fearful that delay on At ol the LS nths ony rasnit in the islands passing into the control of Eavopean power. A Pacific coast paper remarks that there is a possibility that “if Mr. Cleveland under- takes to play fast-and-loose with Hawaii, England or Germany or France may step in and proclaim a protectorate over the islands, purely in the interest of good government and for the safe- guarding of Hawaiian interests, and the same paper further ob- serves th “those who are int ested particularly in Hawaiian annexa- tion should pray that some European ion may make a move to assert its superiovity in Hawaii, for that would force the hand of this country at and result inevitably in Haw AN annex- ation, The eagerness of the anuexa- tionists to get possession of this foreign terrvitory, regardless of what may just to the native population or of the to the United illustrated in the utter- some once possible consequences States, is well ances quoted.

The Brit- ish government has not only shown no dis osition to interfere, but has officially declared its entire willingness to loave British interests in Hawaii to the protection of the United States. The German government has manifosted complete indifference and there has been no expression heard from the French government.
