All Hands Provided For

It was John Sherman's promise to the hesitating Anderson and Don Weber that if they would only "stand firm," and make false returns, a grateful party would never forget it of them, and they should be well "oared for." All hands have been provided for. Let ns see. Thero are a good many oL them, flrst and last, who were concerned in the Florida and the Louisiana iniquity, bn! they have all been quietly ooked aftcr and "jared for." Only look at the lists, for the two States: FI.9KIDA. Noycp, of Ouio Minister to Franco. K-iKS'in. of lowa Minister to AliBtria. McLir Justice in New Mexico. Gov. btearns Coni'rof the Hot Springs. Dennip ïn Sup. Archittct'e office. " Judge H Cetïsna PostmaRter. Black In the treasury. Vanee In Postoffice D'partment. Clerk H jwell Collector of CustomB. Bowles. of Leon In the treawury. " Judge" Bell Governm't Timber Agent. Elector Himiplireya Ooilector, Peimacola. Stearns' Sccretary In the trtasury. S'rlker Maxwell Litjutenant in the army. Ihelps CcLaniissíouer to Paris. Varnum R: ce'ver Laud Office. Tajlor, County Clerk In Land Office. Truly a good list ; and here are a few of the Lomsiana arrangements : LOUISIANA. Rellogfj Uoited Sta' es Senator. Toni Andcreon t:.)licc'or of Cuetoms. Marks Tax C jllector. Brewbter fcurveyor General. Clirli In tbc treasury. HOI Nav.il Store-ktcper. e jmpbell U. 8. District Attorney. Tnere are others. And now nol one of them cn remember how the returns were forgod. But they have been " well oared for." John tíherman seems to have taken a libcnl share. We find no fewer than eight that he has taken under his wings. He might, on a pinch, take the whole lot. In that case he wouM be like the hen that was made the subject of a boy's experiment. Having gathered all the eggs in the barn and put them in the nest of a sitting hen, and being asked what he was doing, he replied that he "ju5t wjnted to see the old hen spread herself. " Sherman can spread kimself, and is ready to do it, rather than have any more of bis eggs addled. But what a picture these lists present ! And it looks as if Mr. Hayea had " had an eye " on things. - Hartford Times.
