1t is curious that in making important ap.
pointments the administration almost Away s
selects men who have been rejected by the
people. John NJ. Niles, who has just been
beaten for Governor Of Connecticut by or
immense majority, is chosen for Postmaster
General I; and Churchill c. Cambreleng the
man who declared that the Sub Treasury
should be established " in spite Of the amcn-
tation" of the people, after being beaten as
a candidate for Congress, has been select.
cd as n Minister to Russia. The man whom
the people would not trust to represent a sin.
gle city at home, the President has trusted
to represent the whole nation at tho Court of
the largest Empire of the world. Such
is the practice of that party which pro.
fesses SO much respect for the people. 1t is
but specimen Of the inconsistency which
characterizes the whole course Of the ad
ministration. Providence Journal.

Mr.. Chapman of Iowa raised a point
Of order, and appealed from the decision
Of the chair with view OF being heard
The appeal was not sustained, and a
motion was made for call Of the House.
The majority decided negatively upon
the motion. The main question on the
! rec sideration was carried by yeas and
nays. The motion TO reconsider was
lost by the close vote of So in the affir-
native to l03 in the negative.
The subject was not disposed Of be-
fore late hour.
The Speaker then referred the Sen
ate bills on the Clerks table to their re-
spectiye committees.

In SENATE on Thursday, 28th, the

In the House, this subject, which il

June Town Meeting.

The annual meeting for the choice OF
town officers and other municipal bust.
ness, was held in this town on Tuesday
last. Tho meeting was organized a,
10 o'clock A. NJ. by the appointment oI
Henry Y. Cranston, Esq. Moderator
The usual appointments and business o.
the town were then disposed of in order
as follows:
To,cn Clerk.-Benj. B. Howland.
Mr.. George Bowen here made mo.
tion that the municipal business, be
taken up before proceeding any farther
in the election.
Mr.. Michael Freeborn opposed the
motion, on the ground that it was un-
usual. Lost.
The election Of officers was then pro-
ceedcd in as follows:
Town Council.-Theophilus Topham,
David M. Coggeshall, Eleazer Trevett,
Nathan B. Hammc.t, Anthony V. Tay-
lor.
The next appointment was that OF
Town Treasurer. Before any nomina-
ton was made, it was moved and car
ried that the report Of the Finance Com
mittee be read. The report having
been read and received, Mr.. Daniel G.
Denham moved that it lie on the table
till 3 P. Nj. Mr.. N. S. Ruggles thought
it unnecessary. After a short discus
sion,
The Town Treasurer's report Of re-
ceipts and expenditures was read and
received.
Mr.. S. +. Gardner inquired whether
any orders drawn on the town had been
accepted by the Treasurer, which were
not included in his report.
The Treasurer (Mr. George Free
born stated that he had received or
ders, when presented, and made me-
morandum OH them, Chose he had nc
funds to pay noting the time of pre-
sentiment merely, which, in conformity
to an act of tho town passed in Nov
1899, entitled all such orders to draw
interest until paid.
Capt Robinson Potter thought the
Treasurer had exceeded his authority
by receiving orders from the Street
Commissioners, as il appeared they had
Expended, beyond the sum appropriated
for repairs Of streets, nearly $1,000.
Mr.. S. F. Gardner was also Of the
same opinion.
Mcssrs. Trcvett. M. Froeborn, En-
mis-, Dcnham, and others, thought not
and each had few words to say il
relation to it.
Judge Pitman said that the Town hat
committed an error in passing the vote
referred to, giving unlimited authority
to the Treasurer, and he therefore con
side,cd it very unjust and dishonorablc
on the part Of the town to cndcavo
to make a victim Of the Treasurer, fol
doing no more than was requ ircd Of hin
by that resolution.

NEVER STAND on A RAILROAD CAR
The following shocking warning is from the
y. s. Gazette.
Yesterday evening when the cars from the
West had reached Schuylkill, Sixth st., on
the Columbia Railroad, jarring of the train
threw gentleman, one Of the passengers,
from his position on the front of one Of the
cars across tho track. The wheels Of nll the
cars passed over his legs. mangling both in
the mos, dreadful manner, and entirely sever
ing them from his body. The sufferer was
carried instantly to the Hospital, in the most
excruciating pain and we have not learned
whether he survived the accident.
