David Bidwell has been rendered complinfen-
tary benefit ut the Academy of Music on Monday
next. We sincerely hope it will prove testimo-
NAL worthy Of our etizsps, suitable expression
of the appreciation In which Mr. Bidwells services
in behalf of the drama and thestrioal entertain
ments in this city are held. There are additional
claims TO eueh man festations Of public approval
and commentator in the benevolent traits and
many liberal acts Of this saunob old citizen, as
well az aoomparable theatrical manager. For
twenty Eve years Mr.. Bidwell has maintained the
popularity Of the Academy OF Music by his en-
terprise and tact.
10 theatrical p,ople he has been one OF the
truest and most reliable Of friends. No manager
in the country has 80 large share OF their con-
fidenoe and respect. Thus he has been enabled
to keep up the Academy through The most disss-
trous Seasons when other msnagsrs utterly
failed. To sustain his reputation MIR. Bdwell has
been subjected to heavy losses aud has made
many sacrifices which our people ought to be
gratified by an opportunity of'repaying, even in
no fractional manner as by q complimentary
benefit. As permanent citizen with his
all in our midst, one Of the readest and most
liberal to respond to any demand npon his gen
erosity and public spirit, he has additional claims
upon our people, which we trust will be reoog-
nized by general turn out OF all classes to at
tend the benefit fixed for Monday next.
The entertainments, which will be duly an
nounoed. will be- of character to crafty and
delight all lovers Of dram alto display aad theatri

Sherwood's Point, on the west side
Of Green Lake, Wisconsin, is widely
known. It has probably been the scene
OF more pienies and celebrations than
any similar area In that State. During
the season of open air pleasures there
Ia o constant succession OF carriages
from Berlin, Ripon, Fond du Lac and
adjoining towns, and 1t is no unusual
thing to find dozen different coteries
distributed about the grounds. Late
in 1874 Mr.. Sherwood opened large
and we'll appointed hotel as nucleus
OF the delightful resort, known as
Sherwood Forest" The view from
the verandas comprises complete cir
cult OF the lake and broken shores,
while the immediate surroundings are
especially pleasant. The drives are
tastefully laid out, care being taken in
uprooting and trimming, not to detraot
from the rustic charm Of the primitive
woods. The generous patronage re-
ceived by the sherwood Forest" lin
It's then scarcely prepared state), as q
debutante, 10 an assurance of its future.
1t requires no prophetic keenness Of
vision to see that Green Lake, with it's
attractive hooks, pure air and healthful
climate, is developing into resort no
whit less recherche than that other
popular inland watering plaoe-Sara-
toga. In recognition OF the beauties,
some OF its visitors have expressed
themselves In very tangible, substan-
tial manner. by erecting pretty villas
and nice summer cottages. Noticeable
among those erected are Gen. M. Bray
mans, formerly of Springfield. ILL.,, Mr.
Baker, Of Fond du Lac, and Mr.. Lucas,
of st. Louis, but the largest and most
elegant Is the country seat OF Gen.
John Mcdonald. of st. Louis.

THE CABINET OF THE FRAUDULENT
PRESIDENT.

The path to power is never entirely |
smooth, and the advancement of MIR. |
EVtrtS constitutes no exception to the |
general rule. 1t seemed to be conceded |
in all quarters that, in the event of the !
perfect success of the frauds by which |
Mr.. Hayes is to be made President, Mr.. |
Evarts would become Secretary Of State;
but we learn that :: powerful opposition
to his appointment has already been
developed. 1t is said that it would not
be satisfactory to Mr.. Stanley Mat
Governor of Ohio, who have already
opened shop as Hayes Cabinet makers.
We apprehend, however. that the OPP
position to Mr.. Evarts will all be in
vain. There may be a good deal Of
wrangling about the matter before
hand but in the end he will be appoint
ed if he is willing to serve under a
| Fraudulent President. His superior
fitness for such Il place conmentis him
to the favor of his lacty, and Il Presi-
dcnt-and still more y Fraudulent
! Presitlent-is influenced more by what
he believes to be the popular sentiment
among his political supporters, in Sc
Letting Il Cabinet, than by his own per-
sonal preferences. This was not the
ease with Gen. Grant, but then he re-
gartled the members of his Cabinet in
the light OF staff officers, s'es W in most
respects, he has been ar eetseption to
all rules.
The only really formidable obstacle
in Mr.. Evarts's way into Il Cabinet
which from its peculiar origin is sure to
be historical, is II constitutional pccul-
iarity-his extreme diffidence but this
the persuasions and assurances of his
party friends will probably overcome.

APPOINTEES TO OFFICE.

Some of Gov. Nicholls's appoint
ments to Office do not give entire salts
faction to the Democrats, and in some
instances we think the complaints are
just. It is urged that, in such eases,
the claims of hard working Democrats
who have never refused to answer to
the long-roll of the Democratic drum,
and have lost by their party zeal
and uncotnpromising course, have been
overlooked, or slaughtered, to make
room Tor applicants who are mainly
conspicuous for their apathy, OK brought
into prominence by the endorsement OF
Republicans. We are not of those who
would exclude from our party, or its
places of ,cmolumcnt, II single voter
qualified for position, or deserving by
past services the honors due to II faith
full observance of the duties OF good
citizen ), but we hold that promotion
comes rightfully from the faithful
discharge of trusts; that it is ingrati-
tude TO- disregard the faithful servant
for the stranger, and that no political,
or otherorganization can safely elevate
to leading positions individuals whose
only knowledge of such organization
has been gained by opposing it. Re
cruits are not at once made corporals,
sergeants or commissioned officers.
IfGov. Nichols would maintain Il
ell-tlisciplined party and organize Il
strong and reliable support for his adj
ministration, his appointees should
haveSno questionable standing, but be
men of influence with the people and
the Democratic party and whose frs,
notification of services rendered is not
petition for office. Gov. McEnery,w we
dare say, although acting for what he
believe to be the best interests of his
party and State, would tell Gov. Mich
oils that in many of his (NcEnery's)
appointments to Office, urged thereto
by the hope Of demoralizing the Re
publicans and gaining accessions, he
was not only disappointed, but found
the Democratic or peoples party weak
ened. The result should be a sufficient
warning for his gallant successor.
Objection may be made that party
men ought not to be in office; but nc
thinking MAN will make the assertion
that political parties are not necessity
and ii political parties are necessary
they must be Well organized and dis
ciplined, and, what is equally impor
tant, they must be led by safe and we'll
tried counseilors. We are aware tina
it is no easy task to harmonize an,
cement together the discordant Gle
ments. In politics presented to Gov
Nichols for consideration nor do W
have any idea that, in the effort to re
