the state of New York needs a great
deal Of promoting just at present but
the presidents way of doing this most
desirable thing cannot be COMPLIMENT
ed as eminently successful. On the
contrary, he hit the big hornets nest
a powerful blow and he is likely to
learn that some of the occupants can
sting. 1t is pleasant to be informed
that Mr. Blaine had nothing whatever
to do with Judge Robinson's appoint
ment. Oh. no; not he; why should
he have had anything to do with it?
What should he care? 1t is nothing
to him. Poor Blaine He is a little
lamb, and he would like to be out in
the pastures, verdant as himself, climb
ing the rocks and skipping about with
the other little lambs, if only he was
not shut up in that horrid, dingy old
state department.. He to have any
thing TO do with the appointment of
Judge Robertson Never He scorns
the imputation. 1t was the cat or
Gail Hamilton, that did it. We sin
cerely believe that Mr.. Blaine had no
more to do with the matter than he
would have had if he himself had
been president Of the United States,
in his own name"

Thursday evening, April. 2. 1851.

IT is estimated this winters snow
storms in the northwest have cost the
railroads Of that section over $1,000
600. The annual report of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroad, just
out, states that during the storms an
average of 5000 men we're employed at
81 so a day and board On the North.
western as many as 1000 men have
been employed at one time, and the
large force have only partially been
abandoned, as the far western lines
are not yet clear. The earnings of all
the roads for the first three months of
1881 show a great falling off. The new
line opened to the Pacific, although
not strictly a southern route, will never
have much trouble like this.

SORRY THEY MARRIED.
The Controversies Between Gar.
field and congressman.

N. Y. Herald.I
A member OF congress visited the
White House on Wednesday to OPP
pose the nomination of a postmaster
in his district. An instructive con
versation between him and the presi-
dent is thus reported by several gem
tlemen who we're involuntary listen
ers.
The president remarked that the
main question was whether the pres
ent incumbent, who had served but
four years, was a worthy and efficient
officer. So far as | can learn he
added, the citizens of the place
seem to be nearly unanimous in his
favor"
Congressman-I supposed | was the
representative Of my district and my
wishes would be respected They
we're not during the last administra-
tioh, and l suppose they will not be
during this one"
The President-Certainl sir. You
are the representative of your district,
and | am DESTROYS of availing myself
Of your information concerning the
Offices in your district, but the ap-
pointing power is lodged with me, and
not with the representatives of the
different districts, and | do not intend
TO diyest myself Of my proper author
ity and responsibility in such matters.
IL is remarked here that a new
president and the two houses are like
a newly married couple, who have to
get used to each others ways before
they settle down to concord and placid
bliss. 1t is this preliminary process
which the republicans are just now
going through, and some of them
wish they had not married.

Proud of One OF His ..Boys.,

Proud of One Of HIS Boys.
DEBORAH Iowa. Republican,
It is a matter of pride to the retired
veteran journalist OF this city, Mr..
Bailey, that ona of his boys is a
member Of President Garfeld's cab
met. From 1912 to 1919 Mr.. Bailey
published in the city of Utica, N. Y,
an abolition paper of the stalwart
stripe, called the Liberty Press Dur
ing five of these years a boy of Welsh
parentage, the son of an honest
carpenter in the city, was
one of his apprentices. He was
called Tom James, but he is now
known as the Hon. Thomas L. James,
late postmaster ofNew York City, and
now postmaster general. During his
apprenticeship he was a member of
my family, aud Mr.. James, the writer
of these lines, and an elder brother
we're boys together. The pleasure of
the elder journalist lies largely in the
fact that the promotion given to Mr..
James has been wOrthily won by per-
sonal inertia merit that makes this
themost really fit appointment there is
in Gen. Garield's cabinet.

Good JOke on the FIyiAg Dutch,
man.

The Washington Republican tell.
this pleasant story at the expense Of
Secretary Schurz, of the interior de.
partment:
1t appears that a certain stalwar,
senator of the machine" variety was
very anxious to secure a clerkship for
a worthy young man from his state,
and, after trying in vain at most of the
departments, determined to play the
following ruse on Schurz. He made
the young man file an application at
the interior department. The next
day the machine" senator called on
Schurz and addressed him as follows;
MI. Secretary, | understand that a
young nan named -, from nv
state, has applied for a clerkship in
your department. | have called TO
enter my protest against giving him a
position, as | understand that be has
been Boosting about town that he in
tended to get a place without my aid;
that civil service rules would be In
MS IaYor, etc.
Mr.. Schurz promised to look into
the matter, and as soon as the senator
left he sent a messenger to hunt ur
the young fellow. Upon his arrival
Schurz questioned him closely. and
stated that, while there were no va.
cancies, he would make one for any
young man who had the independence
and moral courage to attempt to GET
through the world without the aid Of a
machine politician The younp
man was put TO work the next day.
and is BOW one Of the most efficient
clerks in the patent office, notwith.
standing the fact that he got there
through a senatorial trick on the
great reformer.

White Gloves Presented to Irish
Judges,
Dublin Ffeeman's Journal.l

Dublin Ffeeman's Journal
The ~assizes opened recently, and
they disclosed nothing to justify the
panic OF the English parliament. In
the populous and important town of
DrOgheda the lord chief baron was
presented with white gloves, the cal
endar not exhibiting a single case for
trial. In Meath county Lord Chief
Justice, May described the county as
in a most satisfactory state" and in
a most important and remarkable pas
sage declared that it was ~deplorable
that there should be a coercion act at
all, and emphatically added that there
was nothing in the condition of Meath
20 justify the extension OF the act to
that county. In the neighboripg
county of Westmeath there is the
shadow Of a great and recent crime,
but the exceptional and isolated char
acter Of that vfense is proved by the
fact hat the calendar for the county,
which was once a hotbed OF disturb
ance, only shows n custody aud two
bail cases to be tried. 1t is true that
in Longford and Letrim, where the
two lord justices presided, there we're
matters which we must all regret. 1t
is, however, always necessary to bear
in mind that the judges remarks are
based on the police reports, the value
OF which everyone now knows 1t is
not too much 20 say the coercion act
was largely brought about by judicial
utterances based on police reports,
which reports, upon examination,
crumbled into theair or proved utterly
unreliable.
