scrapping match between iwfl

F. A. Scott, who is a member of the
Republican National Committee, and
wlio expects to become Commissioner
of Internal Revenue about the first of
January, and Judge Nathan (Jotf
who was uuce in the Cabinet and who
lias just declined a Cabinet portfolio,
is indicated by the announced aspira
timis of both of them—a clesiieto suc
ceed Senator I- aulkner, whose term
will expire March 3. 18S19. W. Ya.
democrats laugh at the expectations
ot Messrs. Goff and Scott, and say
that they have no doubt of a demo
eiatic majority in (lie next legislature.
Meanwhile Goff and Scott are (ire
paring to light each other. They
were both in Washingtoi; this week
and both saw Mr. McKinley. Having
McKinley tried to nip this one in the
bud by asking Goff to become Attor
ney Geneial when Mr. McKenna is
nominated for the Supreme Court,
but, that gentleman declined and said
that nothing but a seat iu the Senate
would tempt him to give up his pre
sent lifetime judicial position, but lie
may change his mind. Senator El
kins is at present (losing as a friend
of both Scott and Goff, but it is be-'
lieved that it will oe found when
there is a show of hands that he is on
the side of Scott.
Senator Mallory, of Florida, lias
pronounced views on Cuba which he
doesu't hesitate iu announcing. He
said : "Spain's appareut willingness
to grant autonomy is but a pretext of
delay against positive action by our ,
government. It ought not to deceive 1
uuivuv. n v>u£iii mu deceive '
any one familiar with the record of i
.Spain's oft-broken pledge to the peo- j
pie of that oppressed island. I do
not know what action Congress will
take, and I am not iu the confidence
of the administration. As far back
as 1858 a U. S. Senator from my State
advocated the independence of Cuba,'
and the arguments tlieD made are
absolutely applicable today. He gave
a detailed account ot the perfidy of
the .Spanish government, which would ■
serve without modification at the
present time. The autonomy farce
has been tried before." Senator Mai
lory thinks there can lie only one
right s,-ttleu.ent of the Cuban ques
tiou, and that is the independence of j
n**tf island, and lit* roirards it uu
the island, and lit* regards it as the
duty of this country to aid in bringing
it about, forcibly if necessary.
It looks oow us though no attempt,'
will be made to pass a bill providing i
f* * * the retirement of the greenbacks, i
even in the House. The reason is re i
publican opposition, whieh is outspo- j
ken, especially among Representa- '
tives from the west and middle west'
The only way a bill providing for
the retirement of the gieenbaacks
could be put through the House would
be to get it endorsed by a caucus of
the republicans, and then it would
Dot be certain, as there would proha

ENGLISH ROYALTY.
What It Is Sa d to Co3t the British Tax
payer Yearly.
The chancellor of the exchequer went
out of his way recently, says Labou
ereign and produce §2,060,000 per an
nmn. The queen receives instead of
this revenue §1,925,000 and the rest of
the royal family §1,060,000. Therefore
the total cost of monarchy to the tax
payer is §925,000. The entire calcula
tion proceeds on the erroneous assump
tion that the crown lauds are the pri
vate property of the sovereign. This
they are not. They originally formed a
portion of the general revenue qf the
country, out of which came the main
tenance of the sovereign.
That abject flunky Lord Bute, wish
ing to curry favor with George III, in
serted in the civil list act which was
passed on that monarch's accession a
renunciation by him of the crown lands,
and this renunciation by a sovereign of
what he did not possess is the basis of
**"" u mu uui possess is me oasis oi

there are numberless expenses incidental
to the institution which he does not iu
elude. The bard fact remains that in
France the president receives §200,000
per annum and fulfills with decent
the throne.
According, therefore, to Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach's own figures, monarchy
costs England $2,985,000. The real
amount is, however, much higher, for
