Mr Blaine must nat b at vindicatie in
punishing hit enemies, large and small,
when he jets in epaortunitv, at he hat
been credited with being, ar elte he hat
lately allowed that eternal vigilance which
U the price of keeping track of your small
fry enemies to go into inocnout desuetude .
A man who wat dismissed by General
Black was reinstated in a clerkship in the
Pension office a few dart ago. lie it one
of the bitteresi men against Blaine that I
have ever met. Just before the meeting
of the last republican National Convention
this man was for a short time the editor of
weekly republican paper in this city.and
irrote and printed in the editorial column
f that paper the following paragrapli :
"Mr Blaine hat no', said he would not ac
cept if nominated. lie just taid he wat
not a candidate, and then winked to hit
henchmen to boost him up the tree. Isn't
it 6trange Mr Blaine's friends are such
warm friends ? Can you recall one 01 his
ardent admirers who has not stolen some
thing or whohas not placed the republican
party in an embarrassing position at some
time f" If Mr Blaine allows the writer wf
that paragraph to remain in office I shall
hereafter defend him from the charge of
being vindictive.
Mr Harrison hat been treated to a reviv.
al of hit experience during the early days
f bit administration since hit return ta
the White Hcuse Thursday. The office
seekers have made a grand rush knowing
that this would be their last chance untl
fill, and the President is really to be pitied.
He has appointed a large number of post
masters, and three Louisiana men have
captured good prizes ex-Guv Warmeuth,
Collector at New Orleans.Mr John F Pa.
ty, (a negro, )Naval officer at New Orleans,
and the notorious J R G Pitkin, Minister
to the Argentine republic and more ap
pointments are expected before he leaves
to-morrow for Bar Harbor.
There is little eicitement here on ac
count of the seizing of the Canadian sealing
vessel, "Black Diamond," in Behringssea
by the V 8 Revenue Cutter, "Rush." No
serious trouble Is likely to grow out of thit
or any other similar seizure. V hile the idea
of our claiming exclusive jurisdiction over
Behrings tea it not at all palatable to Eng
land, her commercial interesttin the teal
skin industry are too grest to allow her to
kick up a row. The fact of the matter it
that England it just at much interested in
having the illegal taking of seals stopped
at it the United States, and the Canadians
may howl all they please but her majesty's
government witl not get excited over this
question. The law under which this seii
ure was made was passed by the last Con
gress as the result of an investigation made
by a committee of the House. It was
among the last bills signed bv Mr Cleve
land. Commissioner of Pensions Tanner has
answered the charge of favoritism in mak
ing applications special by giving out a
statement showing the entire number nf
such cases to have been nine hundred and
fifty -tw o. These applications were rep
resented by 317 attorneys,the largest num.
ber represented by a single attornev being
ut.
The hotel corridors filled up as If by
magic on the day the President returned
from Deer Park. After to-morrow, when
he starts for Bar Harbor, they will resume
their1 usual August quietness.
A delegation of Ohio republicans have
told Mr Harrison that unless he placet
certain patronage at their disposal tbev
might as well give up all hope of carrying
the legislature. It It not known what ans
wer they received.
Ex-Postmaster General I iatten, editor of
the "., and Civil Service Commissioner
Ronsevelt.have been Indulging in a wordy

The Interior department has sent a com
missioner to France to learn as much as
possible about the Irrigating methods in
use over there in order that the knowledge
obtained may be used to devise some wav
of Irrigating the enormous tracts of arid
lands in the west.

correspondent of the New York Sun, has

He will support Hill for the next presiden
tial nomination.
Ex-Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, tavs
Harrison by his appointments In that state
has thrown away what little chanc the
republicans had of carrying the third con
gressional district, lie ai intimates
rather ttroncly that the Louisiana delega
tion in the next republican National Con
vention will oppose the re-nomination cf
Harrison. All of which is very interest
ing, but the fact should not he forgotten
that Kellogg has a very sorehead.
The age limited for the appointment of
letter carriers In non-civil tervice post
offices hat been extended from thirtv-live
to forty years.
More than forty democrats were dis.

The Standard Oil Company ol thit coun
try it ttretchlng itt octopus clawt into Eu
rope, striving to control the oil trade in
the old world. Its chief competitor has
been Russia, whose petroleum product it
taid to be controlled by the Rothschilds
but the American millionaires seem to
have stolen a march on their European
rivals for one year at least. AH last year
the Standard Oil Company was engaged in
buying up empty oil barrels tnd shipping
them out of reach. Then it secured all the
pipe manufacturers and tied them up. Ff.
nally, it secured all the oil carrying steam
ers and put them cut of reach. So,though
Russian oil is now produced, there is at
present no way to ship it,and '.he Standard
Oil Comnanv monono!iz;s the market.both
here and in Europe. It is this probably
that has made oil increase in price, the
crude oil having recently advanced to
more than one dollar a bond, for the first
time in several vears.
