YTHING T at HERMAN WISE'S, The Reliable Clothie- and Hatter, Hanson s THE- t Bam MORE Sore His Opinions ofClevelanil's Aflminis-tratiBD, NATIONAL BANK3 BIO BUSINESS Recomendatlon That Classified Servloe Be Extended as Far a i Practicable. Associated Press. San Francisco, April 19. The Chron icle will tomorrow print an extended Interview with Hon. WhitelaW Reld, who Is stopping at Mlllbrae, the sum mer home of D. O. Mills. In response to a question as to what he thought about President Cleveland's appointments, Mr. Reld said: In the main I fancy he is doing the best he can. Some . of them are ex cellent. In regard to the appointment of Sen ator Eustls a ambassador to France, he said: "I doubt If he could have made a better choice if he had searched his party through." Mr. Reld commends President Cleve land's course in raising the rank of English and French ministers -to am bassadors, and says that the change is more desirable for business - than- for social reasons. Speaking of the announcement that President Cleveland would not appoint men to the same offices they formerly held under him, Mr. Reid said he could not believe that Mr. Cleveland had made any such ridiculous rules. "What do you think of the general work of the administration?" was asked.. "General work; there Isn't any. The two great questions are tariff and sli ver, and so far as we know, nothing has been done with either, and there Is no Intention to touch either until about a fourth of the president's term has run out. Among all the wonderful things we will show visiting jfoteiguers at the Columbian exposition this year, we shall show them nothing quite so astonishing as this: a plurality of the American people electing a president declare they are being robbed. Their president takes the power and waits nearly a year before lifting a finger to stop the robbery. That is the way the administration is putting itself on ex hibition in this Columbian year. Mr. Reid will leave on Thursday for Portland, Or.," and after a short trip through the Puget Sound country, will return to New York., . . CARLISLE'S FINANCIAL POLICY.
