In 1S2 he was appointed by a Kepublican Governor to a judgeship on the Circuit liench, and at the expiration of his appointment was twice re-elected to the same place without opposition. He has never sought oftice, and his popularity is best attested by the fact that, although h is a Democrat, his candidacy for the place to which ho is nominated was indorsed by the unanimous vote of the Kepoblican Legislature of Minnesota.

It seems Mr. Gresham owns a farm in that county, and a rival candidate quietly secured the indorsement of the granger agent of the Secretary of Stile, with the eQectof having Mr. Gresham act on this lone signature oiid wield the snickersnee on both the liepublican postmaster and theold-time Dem-. ocrat with his central committee recommendations. Jerome Herff, of Pern, who has been seeking the consul-generalship to Havana, was told by President Cleveland to-day that the inenmbent of that otlice would be retained, as he was a popular New Yorker. But," said the President, "yon must pick out two or three other consulates, giving me some margin to work on, and I will give you one of them." Mr. Herri is feeling pretty good to-night. He said he has jailed three placet, and has indicated his willingness to the President to aocept either of them. . J. A. Ilineraan, of Hartford City. J. M. Lontz, county auditor, and Charles E. Marlotto. sheriff, prominent Democrats of "Wayne county, called upon President Cleveland to-day and were introduced by Kepresentative Holm an. George Cobb, of Vincennes, son of the late Kepresentative Cobb, has withdrawn his application for a chlefship of division In the Treasury Department and has applied for a place in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. He will succeed in this move, it is stated. Young Cobb is quite popular here and is indorsed upon his merits. W. T. Steele, of Indianapolis, has had bis application entered at the Treasury Xepartment for the position of surveyor of customs at Indianapolis. James 1L F. Kitts. of LaPorte, is now acting chief of the.special examination division of the Pension Office, and in charge of the Eastern district. He was a supervising examiner under Commissioner Ulacfc. Ho tiuccecds Fred Peck, who remains a supervising examiner. This evening's Washington News says of two well-known Indiana federal officers here: "When Third Auditor Hart, who is known as tuo best looking official in the Treasury Department, resigns his position, as he will very shortly, he will go home to Indiana and take up the thread of bin banking business, which he abandoned vrbeu he assumed office. In the early years of Mr. Hart's life he was a printer's uevil. and he afterwards became the editor of & little daily newspaper in an Indiana town. Deputy Third Auditor.

Mr. Shaw, when the clamor in the railroad worldover this alleged remark was at its height, went and made affidavit that it had never been spoken, and one of Mr. Harrison's first official acts when he became Presidsnt was to appoint Mr. Shaw deputy Third Auditor." Paul Liebhardt, formerly of Milton. Wayne county, superintendent ot the Dead Letter Office, will likely engaro in business in Washington as soon as hi successor is appointed.

KETV CHOP OF OFFICE SEEKERS, TTliey Wear Their "Pints' In Ttielr Roots, Carry Cans and Drink lied Liquor, Special to tli Iadlanapohs Journal. Washington, April C There appears to 1)6 a new crop of office seekers in town. These are the men who want the postoffices, the clerkships in the departments lie re. and the smaller places. They do not present the appearance of the crowds who came at the outset of the administration for the missions abroad, the consulates and the higher positions in the depart ments. Many of these men are from Texas or the plains beyond the corn bolt of the Missouri valley. Thoy wear broadbrimmed sombreros, yellow and still, and oute have bulging hiD pockets, and a few wear their "pants" in their boots. They crowd the corridors ot the Capitol when th feeuate ia in session, poke their feet far under the tables in tho Senate restaurant. and insist upon drinking cups of red liquor Tight along with their raw beel and potatoes. There aro so many of these brawny eons of election victories hero that two or three extra sheets of the nominations sent to the km ate each day are posted in the Senate corridors for tueir henebt. It has been the custom fur years when the l'resldont sends a Isst of nominations to the Senate about or 1 o'clock to mako a dozen or more manifold copies for the information of press irpresentatives and others. Three or fonr copies are immediately sent up to the press galleries of tho Ornate. and a copy posted in the large room occupied by the clerks to the Secretary of tho Senate. When tho clerk from the Whit Houso appeared with his nominations, before the present arrangement, the lellowA with the broad hats and bulging hip-pockets made a dash for him, and. h could scarcely dodge into the Senate Chamber. When the copy for public posting was sent out, these fellows almost fell over ono another. It was a mob. They v anted to see if their names were on the list. Now they aro less boisterous, for they liuow two extra bulletins are posted lu diverse corridors for tnelr benefit. They rush up now. and. glancing for their namesand eee;cg them not, they step back, shift their cuds and grunt. It is the same the next day. About the hotel corridors, day and night, th typewriters are driven to their utmost capacity. The applicants want their pupers all copied in the nice,' bold hand of the typewriting machine so the appointing power can readily read. One can see great piles of letters and petitions before the copyist, whn labors with might and msln to get thn jobs done in time for the applicants to catch their Senators or representatives on their way to the departments. Thounl8 of dollars are being spent hero in copying petitions and letters which will novel bo icuiL But everything goes, and

no one cares for an expense of two or three dollars for copying his papers so long as there is hope When the applicant has lost his race and is packing bis grip preparatory to departure for home, and bo is counting his losses, he laments tho expenditures for typewriting. AT TIIE WXlITi: IIOUSC. The President Iteaf&rius III Home-Rale Policy What Marcellus Marshall Wnnt. Washington, April C The President had a comparatively light day to-day. But few new applications for ollice were presented to him, and the Senators and Keprcentatives who called came mainly for tho purpose of looking after the caes already in the oven. The President reaffirmed his home-rule policy to-day. To a couple of Congressmen wbo called upon him to discuss territorial appointments he stated that it is his intention to adhere to the plan of selecting appointees to positions in the Territories from among residents. State and local.' He will not depart from this rule save in cases where the local candidate is manifestly unlit for ollice. and it becomes necessary to seek elsewhere for the'proper men for the places. A new candidate for Indian Commissioner has appeared in the person of Prof. Marcellus Marshall, of Gilmer county. West Virginia. He was introduced to the President to-day by Congressman Pendle

ton, who, at the same time, picsented tol. Alx. Campbell, of liethany. who would like to be consul-general at Melbourne. Senator Palmer and General Black called with Thomas Courtney, applicant for the marshalship of the Northern district of Illinois. General Wheeler, of Alabama, was one of the President's oarliest callers to-day. He bad a bundle of papers under hid arm. "All ot theso papersrefer to the application of one of mv constituents." said General Wheeler, "He is a splendid lellow, and 1 feel certain that the President will not overlook his claims." "How many appointments have you secured so fart" was asked. 'When I get the one 1 am after to-day and another 1 will have two," was the General's philosophical answer.

When we remember that, as a nation, we are largely judged abroad by the character and deportment of our ministers and consuls, we find reason to emphasize the language of Washington. Who. after his retirement to Mount Vernon, in writing to a man connected with the government, said: "For otlicials appoint gentlemen." Aa to the importance and necessity of a consul's knowledges tho language of the country to which he is sent, or of the French language, which, as it is said of French gold, "goes everywhere." no manner of doubt can exist. Whatever other qualifications he may possess, the lack of this will prove fatal to his highest efficiency and usefulness. Tho knowledge is indispensable in the routine wore of the otlice, in investigating revenue frauds, in collecting data for consalar reports, in intercourse with officials and civil authorities, in almost every .service to Americans. f Obituary.

Liberal Feeding; Xloard's Dairyman. There seems to be a strange luuaoy in tho minds of a great many farmers in regard to feeding cows llberallr As a square proposition no dairyman can ailord to let a herd of good cows got in a low coudition. Ho not only robs himself of a chance for present gain, but he seriously cripples his luture. It is just this constant tendency to bold a penny so close to the eye that a gold oaglo cannot be seen on tho other side ot it, that cuts the sand from under the feet of the average dairyman. If . wo look

around we can see everywhere evtdenco enough to satisfy a reasonable man as to the best policv to pursue. In ail places it is the liberal feeder who makes tho most money. His skeptical neighbor will say: I can't teohowhe does it; ho pays so much for feed." Nevertheless, he does it There has not been a day the past year that feed has been so high but what a dairyman with a cow that would yield three-fourths to a pound of butter a day. could richly ailord to give her all she could
