Happy about these days is the Sena.
tor, in Washington, who is Democrat.
He is not prosecuted by office-seekers;
he is not called into the lobby by claim
agents; he Is not Obliged to be an "oblig
ing fellow" in Senator Fessenden's
words; he need not go up with delega-
tions to see the President; he does not
spend tedious hours in the room OF the
Secretary of the Treasury, or OF the
seen acting as bear-leader to parties of
constituents dressed in rusty black, red
in the face with anxiety to establish
their claims; he is not the helpless and
despairing prey of bores; he walks
fearIessly through the passages OF the
Capitol, and his serenity is undisturb-
ed, except when he meets with that dis
tracing constituent, the plague of
democratic congressman, who travels
to Washington as to a funeral, and
solemnly buttonholes his Senator and
demands to know, in severe voice,
show long this can last"
Finally, the democratic senator IS not
scolded by Senator Sprague; and this
bids fair to become so precious an e1.

the same having been received at the

| The Tenure OF Office Law provides
substantially that when the Senate
shall refuse to advise and consent to u
nomination, the President shall name
somebody else. In this case the Senate
has not "refused." Refusal means
jected, The Senate simply reconsider
| ed the vote confirming him, and there
let the matter rest. He is, therefore,
eligible to re~appointment.-R
The language of the ID section OF the
civil tenure act Is "if the Senate shall
refuse to advise and consent to an ap-
kpointment." This advice and consent
do not occur without positive action.
1t requires a vote to be taken and that
majority shall be in the Affirmative.
If vote Is taken and a majority in
the negative, that is refusal. 1fno vote
is taken at all, that is just as much a
refusal as the other; because in each
case the Senate declines to advise and
consent-in one case upon a division, in
the other without proceeding so far as
division. Failure to advise and con-
sent, no matter out of what reason it
may arise, is refusal to do so. 1t has
precisely that effect, and can have no
other. In the proposed Senate amend
ment to the civil tenure law there was
a provision that there should be no re-
lection without positive vote in the
negative; but no such clause was in
corporated in the amendment as finally
agreed to. AS we understand, failure,
refusal and rejection are in this case
Synonymous terms.
We think, therefore, the Register is
illogical, for while its conclusion Is
right (as we think,) its premises are
wrong. MIR. CarliIe is eligible 10 ap-
pointment in recess, simply As we con-
ceive because there is nothing in the
civil tenure law that forbids it. The
second section, upon which the Regis
ter bases its opinion, applies solely TO
nominations to fill vacancies occur
ring, or created by suspensions, during
a recess. Mr.. Carlile was not noni-
mated to fill a vacancy ut all; and,
therefore, the section does not apply to
him nor does anything else In The law
so far as we can perceive. 1t Is reported
that the conclusion at the Cabinet meet
ing Friday was, that where the failure
of nominations "did not spring from
positive opposition" the same appoint
ments would be made during the recess.
AS there was very positive oppost-
ton to Mr.. Carlile, the inference is he
will not be re appointed to Stockholm
and therefore, according to Senator
Boreman's declaration in the Senate,
the Republican party of West Virginia
is detunct, because the sending of this
gentleman to Stockholm was the only
thing that could save it.

NEW YORK, April 25.
A Gable special to the Herald from

Government will adopt a new and bold
policy as to the Spanish-Cuban ques-
ton. Belligerent rights are to be con-
ceded TO the Cuban insurgents and as
sistance rendered and the independence

gued, will prevent annexation to the

Those who indorse the stupid assertion
that "CatarTh will get well OF ttSelf,'' or iH
durable by snuftlng or inhalInG the nos
truuB in common use, will do well to re-
member that the LOSRl disease depends al
ways upon IeTntent01Oe condition Of the blood.
Medical writer's are wont to speak OF Ca
tarrh as a simple local inflammation, and
bo; h Its importance and rational treatment
are either wholly ignored, or receive but q
passing notice from the general practitioner;
and thus Catarrh as surely predisposes to
night and is in fact the prelude to that
disease in eight cases out OF ten.
The disease Is everywhere prevalent; peo-
pie resort to such means as always fall, then
give heed to the popular fallacy that 1t Is in
cnrable, and settle into a sort OF mental
apathy, encouraged by the belief that the
family physician knows all that is known
on the subject, and thus matters stand, while
the disease progresses until hope is dead, and
life becomes mockery, when comes the
