A CORRESPONDENT of one of the Boston
papers says that Simmons lost the battle be-
cause he "believed the President to be as
insincere as himself in regard to his pro-
claimed purpose to divorce the civil service
from machine politics." He has abundan
reason to be confirmed in that belief now.
1t was cruel eftsr tic surrender OF his inde-
pendent political action to dismiss him with
out even character. After taking all means
to secure the approval of the Administration
Hayes dlssembled his love and kicked him

ONE of the most heroic deeds in ancient or
modern history was that of Mr.. Barron, the
Dexter Savings Bank martyr, who laid down
his life for the protection of his trust. With
out the aid of companionship in suffering and
daring which comes in battle, or the exalta-
tion which uplifts the religious devotee who
barters earthly existence for the immediate
joy of paradise, without the glow and fire of
combat to make death easy, in the gloom of
darkness, alone and powerless in the hands
of brutal rufians. he died, not to save the
lives of those he loved, but simply because it
was duty. 1t was grand thing and worthy
all hsnor and praise. 1t is certainly becom-
ing that men see to it that the memory of the
deed fade not from the land. Elsewhere will
be found communication recommending a
contribution from such individuals as choose
to give, for the purpose of erecting monu-
ment or in some other way commemorating
this notable event..

GEORGE W. STRANAHAN of Waterbury,
Vermont, has had a grievous wrong done
him. He fred two pistol shots at the woman
who had Tilted him, and one at himself Then
the woman's father seized the pistol. That
was very wrong. Stranahan was certainly
entitled to another shot at himself. Undue
partiality was shown to the woman.

GEN. HALL in his lecture Wednesday
evening advanced the idea that our greatest
need to-day is rest from political agitation.
"Let us have rest" he said, "elect officers
for longer terms, have less legislative ses-
lative sessions, less enactments, and more
respect for lawmakers" Let US s'haye
rest" from this talk about too much legisla-
ton. If he wants to wake up the masses to
political action the way to do so is certainly
not to reduce the frequency Of elections OF
OF meetings where topics of national inter-
est are discussed, or of legislative assemblies
where the representatives of the people learn
the nature and methods of the law power
and acquire an intelligent interest in state
and national politics. Ralph Waldo Emer-
son never said truer words than these: ''The
town meeting is, after the high school, a
higher school. The legislature, to which
every good farmer goes once on trial, is an
academy. The mind is always better the
more it is used, and here it is kept in prac-
tce. Even cant is useful to provoke COM
mon sense" As he again says, "Congress
itself is standing insurrection, and escapes
the violence of accumulated grievances just
as the globe keeps its identity by perpetual
change" Our legislative bodies give every
man an opportunity to make his complaint
and his remedy known, and he does not
brood over a grievance to which the consti-
tuted authorities will not listen. The policy
that would do away with these opportunities
Is unrepublican, undemocratic. Its effect is
seen in the history of France. There the
states.general did not meet for over hun
dred years. When they did come together
they had to listen to the accumulated griev-
ances of century. Having no practical ex-
perence in legislation they knew not how to
redress the wrongs they were called upon to
consider, and the result of their ignorance
was the great revolution and its misery.
THE bill introduced in the Senate Wednes-
day allowing the President to appoint tenn
porary pension agents for sixty days provoked
q sharp debate. 1t came out in the course of
the debate that the bill was introduced to
meet the case Of Col. Costar, who was ap-
pointed and confirmed pension agent in New
York on Feb. 9th, but who was unable to
give the bonds required. Messrs. Conkling
and Edmunds made a sharp fight on the bill,
the former contending that if Costar could
not give the necessary bonds the President
ought TO appoint person who could. The
object OF the bill was to allow Costar to take
the office for sixty days without giving any
bond. Mr.. Conkling said it was as barefacei
an appeal for special legislation as the Senate
had ever witnessed. Mr.. Edmunds said the
bill ought not to pass, as the Secretary Of the

In regard to our foreign grain ira

In regard to our foreign grain trade
the Mark Lane Express does not speak
SO encouragingly of prospects as many
Of our board of trade men could wish.
1t says, al late as the 10th inst, that
trade in England ''has become, to a
great extent, demoralized by the large
supplies of foreign products, and espe-
cially by the rapid increase in the visi-
BILE supply in America; but, on the
other hand, the exporting power in
India is enormously reduced, and that
of Egypt is absolutely nil, while the
shipments from Russia are practically
at an end for the season." The saving
clause in the foregoing extract may yet
help the ''boys'' out, more particularly
poor Keene who is staggering under the
heavy load of carrying a couple of mil
lions, or such a matter, of No. Q Spring
Wheat.

The Late Sam Patch.

Some one inquired Of the editor of
theBatarian' what he knew of "Sam
Patch" and what was his real name.
The editor interviewed an old citizen
Of Genesee county, and answered: "Sam
Patch's'' real name was Samuel Patch,
but by consent the uel was torn off in
his boyhood, and was never afterward
patched on. Sam was first discovered
in or about Paterson, N. j. He didn't
develop well as a boy or man. He
was as good natured as the day was
long, and as shiftless and dissipated as
he was good natured. His surname
was placarded all over his clothes by a
careful mother, and all over his face
by the effects of the sswater he took in
hizen." He had, occasionally, lucid
intervals. In n of these he determine
ed to be a blotch on the face Of crea-
ton no longer and SO he hurried to the
Pasaic river, with suicidal intent, and
with a mighty leap went over its beau
tiful falls and into seething waters be-
low. But, as the lamented Greeley
had 1t, "though he tried to give up the
ghost, the ghost refused to be given
up, land Sam came out alive and well.
An idea struck him. he had a new
way for q lazy man to make q living.
